As Lovely As You (George Shelley Fanfic)

Chapter 64 - Hey Mate

"George" I mumble "H-hi"

 "Hello Laura" he responds calmly, but I notice the looks he sends to Alex. Not nice ones I should point out.

"Where are the rest of the boys?" I ask, trying to take his attention away from my co-worker "They couldn't come, but I decided to pick you up anyway" he replies "As you see"

"Well I'm glad you did" I smile "And by the way, this is Alex he works in the shop too" "Hey mate" Alex greets him "Hey" George returns, I notice his jaw clenching a little.

"So, do you want some coffee?" I offer him "No, we should get going, I told the boys I would be back soon" George says kind of coldly. "Hum, okay. I'm just going to tell Amelia I'm leaving" I say nervously, heading to the backdoor. 

I gulp remembering that George has seen Alex before, in a specific situation that wasn't quite appropriate. He saw Alex kissing me in the club. And I never told him the story, never told him that I actually know Alex and that I work with him, oh great.

I let my aunt know I'm going and when she asks with who I blurt out "Union J", fortunately she just shrugs and I thank her before quickly running back to the front of the shop. I don't wanna leave those two alone.

"Right, I'm here" I get back and feel relief for seeing Alex and George in the same position I left them "Let's go" I grab my coat and boyfriend's arm. "Bye Alex" I wave him goodbye, "Bye Laura and nice to meet you George" he says back, George doesn't reply.

"Is that who I think it is?" he asks through gritted teeth as we enter the car "Who?" I gulp "You know exactly who, Laura"  his tone is serious. "Yes, it's him" I sigh "You work with him, why didn't you tell me?" "Because I didn't think it was something I needed to" I respond "He just works with me that's all" "I want to know the whole story" George demands in a low voice, almost even dangerous. That's a side of him that I've never seen, very overprotective. But well, if I discovered my boyfriend working with a girl that he kissed...okay, he has a point.

I tell him the entire thing, since the day we met to today. George listens carefully and doesn't say or object to anything. "Now he has a girlfriend and stuff and I have you, so that's it" I finish "Just because he has a girlfriend it doesn't mean anything" George mutters "How come it doesn't?" I question him feeling a bit angry "I have you and it means a hell of a lot!" I try to look him in the eyes but he turns around to face the window.

"Nothing happened besides that, I couldn't be with him, I wanted you, I was only thinking of you" I confess, hoping it will make him feel better "George, please" I reach for his hand.  "I don't like you working with him" he says quietly, taking my hand in his but still facing the window "I don't want him near you" "He's just a friend, that's what he always was and always will be" I assure him "Nothing will ever happen".

"Okay" he sighs and turns back to face me "I trust you, Laura" "Good" I lay my head on his shoulder "I trust you too and don't ever think that I would cheat on you" "I couldn't help it, he looks like a fucking Abercrombie model" George replies angrily "Yeah, he used to work there" I tell him "What?" his eyes widened.

"I'm joking!" I laugh "And you're the one who looks like the Abercrombie model" "I agree" he chuckles putting an arm around me. "Such a humble man" I roll my eyes "You can't deny that you like what you see" George says, hovering his face over mine and I know exactly what he's about to do.

"George" I whisper, my lips centimeters away from his "The driver"

He groans and lays his head back onto the seat, I can't help but giggle a bit, "Later" he whispers "Yeah, cool" I tease him pretending I'm uninterested.

The driver drops us at the Corinthia and as soon as we step inside the hotel I facepalm myself. I forgot to call Mr.Holloway.

"Fuck" I curse taking my phone out, "What?" George asks as we head to the elevators, "I forgot to do something" I reply "What?" he asks again "I need to go to Ella's room, I'll meet you and the boys at yours later, okay?" I tell him pressing her floor's number. "Laura, what is it?" he continues to question, "I just need to sort something out with Ella, it will be quick, I promise", I say heading out of the lift.

"Laura" he grabs my arm, stopping me. "George" I reply looking right into his eyes, I stand my ground, I don't want to tell him yet, I wanted to surprise him. But actually, I didn't wanna tell him anything because I was afraid that what I had planned wouldn't work out. Mr.Holloway wasn't available at all times. Still, I maintain a serious eye focus with George.

I can see defeat in his eyes as he lets go of my arm, "You'll come by later?" he sighs "Yes, I will" I comfort him pecking his lips quickly.

I run to Ella's room and knock on the door, it opens almost immediately "Laura" she smiles "Ella, I forgot to call mr.Holloway, now it's too late, I'm leaving tomorrow early in the morning and now I won't be able to stay" I start blabbling.

"What are you talking about?" she arches an eyebrow "It's too late to call mr.Holloway, Lydia told me his schedule is huge and he doesn't take work calls after 6pm" I almost cry "I blew it!" I hug her, sobbing a little. 

"Hum, no" Ella gently pushes me off her "You didn't" she gestures to the inside of her room and I see something familiar; my bags, my clothes, my stuff, everything.

"How...?" I am out of words "I don't know. I just arrived here an hour ago and your stuff was already there, I thought you brought it since we were gonna be roommates and all" she says. "I didn't..." my mind flickers and I blur out loud "Amelia". 

"Yeah, probably" Ella nods "Of course! Oh god, she's amazing! That's why she was staying all day in the office" I say to myself "Sorting things out, calling mr.Holloway, the hotel staff...oh I owe her big time"

"Isn't she your agent?" Ella asks "Yes, the best one ever! I really need to thank her" the smile is stamped on my face.

"Okay, Laura" Ella laughs "You go call her, I'm going to take a shower" she enters in the bathroom and closes the door.

I hop into my new bed, in my new room and the enormous grin on my face is still there while I'm calling my aunt.

"Thank you a million times!" I shout at the phone when she picks up "I love you, I love you!"

"Hey, calm down girl" I hear her laugh "Thank you for what?"

"For arranging things, for letting me stay in Ella's room" 

"What? I did let you stay, but I didn't arrange things, I didn't call anyone if that's what you're thinking" she replies.

"You...you didn't?" I stutter.

"No" Amelia responds.

"Then who did it?" I ask both myself and her.

And then I remembered the only person left that knew about my moving:

George.

AN: Hello lovelies! First, thank you all for your wonderful wonderful comments, each one means a lot to me! they never fail to make me smile :) I hope you all enjoy this chapter, I've ended up changing a few things on my planner so the next update will take a while since I need to figure out properly what to do next, but hopefully it won't take long xx 

PS: The updates this month will take longer than usual since school just started (yes, in Brazil our vacations are only in January, July and December) and the work load is horrible; the bimester is awfully short and I'll need to get some study going on soon. So if I disappear, don't think I've stop writing this fanfic,  I have many things planned! Just wait and see ;)
