Love isn't always easy

Chapter 13 - Akward much?

I opened my eyes and quickly checked my phone. I looked away because it was too bright for me to see and barely managed reading the numbers on my lock screen, 5:58 AM. As I put down my phone on the nightstand I could feel myself shaking. It was THE day. The day, I would see Louis Chavelier again.

It was obvious that I couldn't sleep anymore so I got up. First I washed my hair and curled it and then I changed three times because I couldn't decide what to wear. As I was putting on some mascara my phone vibrated. For a second I thought it could be from Louis but I sighed in relief when I saw it was just Will:

Good morning <33

I have to admit that was really sweet of him. Ever since we got back together he would never forget to write me a good morning and a good night text message. I responded:

Morning Will <3

I went back to my room and decided to re-do my nails so they would match my outfit. Beep.

Wow you're up early! Anyway, when am I meeting this guy? Which by the way I'm being way too cool about him sleeping at your house for 2 weeks?

Will was obviously joking. I became even more nervous about the thought of them meeting each other. That had never even crossed my mind. What was I going to do when that happened?

Oh, I don't know I'll try introducing him as soon as we have time.

I literally froze when I read his next text.

How about I come over right now? When are they coming again?

God no! I didn't even want them to meet I was not ready! I looked at the hour and it was already 9 o'clock. WHAT? Already?? How?

I'm not sure that's a good idea, they're coming in an hour.

One hour. I stared at myself in the mirror and covered my face with my hands. I bet you can't even imagine how nervous I was.

Oh okay. If you say so... <3

That was a surprise. Will would usually insist on coming. I was just glad I convinced him not to.

The rest of the hour I was basically just walking around our living room waiting. This time Louis would come directly to our house because the teacher arranged the bus would stop in front of my house and a few others because they were along the way.

Finally I heard knocking. That was weird. Why didn't he ring the bell? It was 5 minutes before expected and I quickly ran to open the door but before that I stopped. My heart started beating faster and I had to take a deep breath. I heard knocking again and managed to move my hand. Still shaking I slowly opened it.

I saw a tall figure standing in front me, a boy. I quickly realized it wasn't Louis but...

"Will?" I asked shocked and confused.

"Surprise!" He said and kissed me. I pulled away and closed the door while asking him:

"Why didn't you ring the doorbell?"

"I guess it's not working, I tried but there was no ring so I had to knock."

"Oh, okay I'll tell my dad to fix it when he comes back." Will nodded and kissed me. It wasn't a peck kiss but French. He was kissing me but my mind was somewhere else. I was freaking out about the fact that Will was there and Louis was going to be there in a minute, which meant they would meet! We were both distracted so we didn't hear someone opening the door.

"Sorry, I was knocking and the door was open so I came in." He said. I quickly stepped away from Will. For a second I thought I was going to die when I saw Louis standing in front of me. There was no time to think and the one and only, stupid me, stupidly ran into his arms. I hugged him tight but soon pulled away.

What was wrong with me? How could I be so stupid? On the bright side at least I didn't kiss him, right?

"I missed you too, Ashley." he smiled and for the first time I saw a smirk on his face. Clearly he was enjoying this. He was looking at me and I almost lost myself in his eyes but then Will spoke up:

"Hi, I'm Will. Ashley's boyfriend." Will wasn't exactly jealous but he did to emphasize he was my boyfriend which was obvious considering Louis had just seen us kissing.

Louis shook his hand:

"Hello," I wanted to hide under my bed when I heard him say the next words: "That's actually funny," he laughed. "I'm Ashley's ex-boyfriend." So much for labels. I was this close to running away from that awkward situation. Will gave me a confused look because he didn't know anything about me and Louis being involved but he quickly hid it because he didn't want Louis to notice. In fact, he even started a conversation:

"Lewis right?"

"No, it's Louis." He corrected him and there was so much tension between them. I was wondering why was he still smiling?

"It's the same." Will said and this couldn't have gone worse.

I gave Louis a tour of the house and showed him his room.

Will was waiting for me in the hall and I left Louis to unpack.

"Ash what's going on? I'm confused." He asked me immediately.

"Okay... Um, what are you confused about?" I played dumb.

"He was your boyfriend?"

"Yes." I shrugged.

"That means you dated in France?"

"Yes." I said again and sighed.

"We barely broke up.." He started thinking and was really serious.

"I know."

"Were you hurt when I left you? And please tell me the truth." I looked into his sad eyes and I couldn't do that.

"Yes." So, I told him the opposite of that... I knew it was wrong of me to lie but the truth was to hard for him to take. I couldn't just tell him I have feelings for someone else, someone else being Louis and to top it off he was standing in the next room.

"Why didn't you tell me about him?" He was still a little upset but was getting softer.

"I didn't think it mattered. He lives in France and it wasn't serious anyway." My biggest and hardest lie I had ever told but yet I still lied. "We're back to being just friends."

"I'm an idiot." Will said to me. "I'm so sorry, I really am. I mean, I hurt you and now, uh well, I'm kind of jealous of Louis." I noticed Louis in the corner watching and listening to us and hiding but enough for me to spot him.

"You don't have to be jealous of him, if you had to be we wouldn't be standing here kissing." I kissed him. Lies, lies and lies. Did I really have to do that? I admit I kind of did it on purpose so Louis would see us. I closed my eyes and hoped he didn't see me noticing him. I was dying to know if his smile vanished. Then suddenly out of nowhere I heard someone's voice:

"Ashley! Ahem! I would appreciate it if William went home!" Oh no, my dad! The second person who caught us kissing that day. I was so embarrassed and it was just one of the million awkward moments that happened that day. Will excused himself and left. And a conversation was waiting for me that was going to be... Yes, again, awkward.
