Arranging Alexandria [ON HOLD]

Chapter 14

"Everybody was talking so much shit at school today." I said as we all flopped down on my bed to gossip after practice.

"Oh my gosh, yes." Chandler agreed.

"Did you hear that Claire broke Molly and Randy up? Then she tried to like seduce him in the hallway. It was kinda scary." Jesse filled us in.

"She did what?! They were like the perfect couple. Molly is so pretty and she's quiet and nice to everybody and Randy is like adorable and he's so sweet to her." I exclaimed. Molly and Randy have been dating for like three years. They're a grade below us.

"She's such a bitch." Chandler muttered, shaking her head.

"She's just mad because Ryan cheated on her." Jesse told us. She keeps us updated with all the school drama.

"Can we go get some food? I'm starving." Chan complained. We got off my bed and raced down the stairs. I got to the kitchen first. Casey was in there watching football (American football) with his friends.

"Why do you always bring people over?" I whined as I opened the fridge to search for food.

"Chandler and Jesse are here like everyday!" Casey reminded me.

"Okay, be quiet. Where's Hailey?" I asked him.

"Uh, she brought some guy in her room before you got home from practice." Casey grimaced.

"Oh my God." Jesse mumbled from behind me.

"I hope they use protection cause I am not helping her raise a baby." I stated. "Oh, and hey, guys." I finally greeted Casey's friends: Daniel, Tanner, and Cole.

"I heard that a certain somebody is getting married." Cole said to me.

"Yep, that's me." I said as I put some cold pizza in the microwave.

"To who?" The other two boys questioned.

"The one and only Louis Tomlinson from One Direction!" Chandler exclaimed. "Have you seen his biceps?" We all rolled our eyes at her.

"Well, where's my invitation to this wedding?" Tanner asked, pretending to be offended.

"I don't even have a dress yet." I chuckled. "I'm doing everything last minute."

My phone started ringing and I saw Louis's name and ridiculous picture that he set as his contact. His eyes were crossed and he had his tongue sticking out.

"Hello?" I answered the phone, shushing the people around me.

"Hey, who's at your house?" He inquired.

"Jess, Chandler, Casey, and his friends. Why?" I asked.

"Oh, I was just wondering if you want to chill at somebody's place and watch movies. I know you're tired after practice and you probably don't wanna go out on a real date." He told me.

"What's he saying?" Daniel questioned.

"Be quiet, I'm talking!" I shushed him again. "Yeah, that'd be great. Can we do it at your hotel?" I asked.

"Hold the fuck up! Nobody is doing it anywhere!" Casey interrupted the conversation and took my phone out of my hands. "No, how about no, buddy. You aren't screwing my sister. Got it? Good."

"Casey!" I exclaimed. "We were gonna go to his hotel and watch movies, you dumbass."

"Oh."

I took my phone out of his hand. "Are you done interrupting my conversations now?" I asked Casey, putting a hand on my hip.

"Yeah, I guess." He said dramatically. I rolled my eyes and brought my phone to my ear. Louis was cracking up on the other end.

"Glad you thought that was funny." I chuckled. His laugh was cute.

"Okay, okay, I'm done." He finally finished laughing. "But yeah, we can do it at my hotel. Nobody else is here."

***

"Yeah, I thought nobody else would be here but Harry decided to show up." Louis told me as he met me at the door of his hotel room. "I don't wanna be rude. I hope you don't mind if he stays."

"It's fine." I laughed. "Harry's a sweetheart." It was true. Harry really was nice and adorable like a puppy.

"A sweetheart? Really?" Louis rolled his eyes.

"Yes, really. You're just jealous." I replied.

"Of what?" He scoffed jokingly.

"My curls." Harry said from behind him. I chuckled, knowing he heard our conversation.

"And his dimples." I added, just to bother Louis.

"And the fact that I'm a sweetheart." Harry winked at me.

"Are you guys just gonna pick on me the whole time?" Louis huffed.

"Maybe." I shrugged.

"And to think I'm stuck with you for the rest of my whole entire life." Lou said to me, shaking his head.

"Hey, it wasn't my idea." I chuckled.

"Lets go watch movies! I vote for 21 Jump Street!" Harry exclaimed.

"Channing Tatum, hell yes!" I agreed immediately. I've seen that movie plenty of times, but I love it mainly because of Channing.

Throughout the entire movie, Louis was trying to convince me that he was hotter than Channing Tatum. It didn't work. Adam Levine, Channing Tatum, and Liam Hemsworth have got him beat.

At the end of the movie it was seven o'clock.

"What time do you have to be home?" Louis asked me when he saw me checking the time on my phone.

"Nine, probably. It's a school night." I answered.

"One more movie?" He asked me. I nodded. Lou and Harry argued over which movie to watch for a good five minutes. Louis wanted The Hangover and Harry wanted Grown Ups. They finally asked me what I wanted to watch.

"It doesn't matter. Neither of them have Channing Tatum." I laughed. Louis rolled his eyes. After an intense game of rock, paper, scissors The Hangover finally won.

***

"You really have to leave?" Louis whined.

"Well, yes, considering I'll get a long lecture if I'm not home by nine." I replied. They'll let Hailey screw random guys in her bedroom while everybody's home, but I can't stay out passed nine.

"Ugh, fine." He sighed. Harry left near the end of The Hangover because the other boys were going out to eat and he wanted to join them.

I looked down at my phone. It was 8:46. Damn, I'm gonna have to drive fast to be home on time.

"Okay, I really need to go now. It's like a twenty minute drive to my house." I told him.

"Alright, but be careful. Don't drive too fast. If you're late just blame it on me." He replied.

"I'm not blaming it on you." I said firmly. "And I always drive fast. I plan on being in NASCAR." I sarcastically added.

"Easy, killer." He chuckled and hugged me goodbye. He kissed my cheek right before I left. I walked down the hallway, noticing the burning sensation on my skin where his lips touched.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think I'm actually falling for Louis.
