You & I

Chapter 4

I run into my room with Louis right on my tail. He thought he could beat me in a race up to my room. I honesty thought he was going to win after he tugged on my shirt and put me to the ground. But, I did trip him, which gave me enough time to make it upstairs. We had such an amazing day after he picked me up from my class. I did promise that we would hang out. He decided to take me to the local carnival. Trying to force me to get on all these crazy rides with him. I went on every single ride with him. He even won me a huge teddy bear that I just forgot in he car. I need to remember to go and get it before he leaves.

"So, where is your suitcase Ms. Martino?" Louis asks me while going through my closet. I can tell he is already messing it up.

"Its on the very top shelf!" I yell at him while going through my drawers. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to bring for this trip. I'm really glad that Louis decided to help pack. He actually tried to arrange his flight time with mine. That didn't really work out. My flight leaves two hours before his. Close enough though. At least I'll have him by my side. I can't believe that in two days I'm leaving to travel the world. I even get to go see the NYU of England. Before I left school today, Mr. Bradley, my photography professor, told me that I will be paring up with another art student and I have to travel with him/her. Unfortunately, he didn't tell me if it was going to be a male or female. Hopefully its a female because I would love to have a friend, that is a girl, who shares the same passion as me. As I'm folding clothes, Louis is going through a list of places I need to visit while in England.

"I'm telling you Lola, you need to visit little, everyday towns instead." He tells me.

"I want to, but I also want to snap the beauty of the old famous palaces you know?" I reply

"But you'll get the real England if you don't just visit the tourist attractions."

"I understand and I will, okay?"

"Good. Now what are we doing for dinner because I'm really hungry. A horse wouldn't even be enough for me." He jokes and I lightly slap his arm. I should call Sal to bring something because I'm not even in the mood to cook. Especially after all this packing.

"I'm going to call Sal to pick up Chinese on his way home." I tell him and close my suitcase.

"You sure about that Lola? Because I know how you guys have money problems. I could just pay for it." Louis reminds me about my money problems. I would never let Louis pay for me. I may be a girl, but I just have too much pride to let a friend pay for me.

"No, its okay really. Chinese isn't that expensive anyway. Could you call Leo from outside? Tell him he needs to take shower before dinner and I will call Sal." I say and gesture him to get out. He says a simple "okay" and exits my room. I call Sal and right after the third ring he picks up.

"Yes Lola?" Sal answers sounding very stressed.

"Hey, I was just wondering if you could pick up some Chinese food for dinner tonight. I really don't feel like cooking since I just finished packing."

"Wait, for your trip? When are you leaving?" His voice getting a little louder.

"Remember? I'm leaving in two days. I told you when I bought the tickets this morning." I sigh. He never listens. Sal sighs from the other line.

"Okay, I'm sorry, obviously I was not paying attention. So, Chinese tonight?"

"Yeah if you can"

"Of course I can. You're my sister, I'd do almost anything for you. You know that."

"Haha, yeah I know. Oh and you are going to buy a little more tonight because Louis is here."

"Fine, I'll be there in about an hour. Love you, bye." And he hangs up the phone before I could reply. I go through my left over clothes in my drawer and change. I grab a comfortable yellow shirt and a pair of black sweatpants.

"Holy Shit! I'm so sorry!" I hear Louis voice as he slammed the door closed. I just stood there in shock. He just saw me without a bra on. I hurried and put the rest of my clothes on. I put away the ones I just took off and hesitate to go downstairs. Wow, this is truly embarrassing. The closest thing Louis saw me to being naked is my swimsuit. I open the door and head downstairs. Well here goes the time of my life.

As I'm making my way downstairs I here the shower running. Good, Leo actually listened to Louis. I walk into the living room and see Louis. He hears my foot steps and turns around. His face was bright red like a tomato and he was nervous. Very nervous.

"Look Lola, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to w-walk in w-while you were changing." Louis starts stuttering. He shouldn't be that nervous I think to myself.

"No, its okay, I'm sure you did not mean to. Accidents happen." I reply and I can tell I'm already blushing.

*Louis' POV*

Lola stands there awkwardly. It was honestly an accident though. I hope she doesn't think I walked in on purpose. I did not even know that she was changing.

"Sit down please, its over now" I tell her hoping I didn't creep her out. She sits down and turns to face the television without speaking a word. Sometimes I wish she knew how I felt about her. Lola is beautiful. The way she acts and talks. Just everything about her. She doesn't even know I have some feelings for her. It was actually very nice to see her topless. The way her breasts looked so round, plump, and full of life. I could never tell her that though no matter how much I want to. Maybe I should just man up and tell her how I feel. I probably will not, I'm sure she doesn't even feel the same about me. I keep thinking about how I just saw her breasts and the problem in my pants is becoming even harder to deal with. What if she notices it? I bet she'll think I'm a freak. But I cant control it. Its probably very noticeable, maybe I should just go to the bathroom real quick and take care of it. Will I have time to? I am cut out of my thoughts when the doorbell rings. Her brother must be here. Oh shit, her brother. He will definitely notice my little friend poking out of my pants trying so hard to escape.

"I'll be right back Lola, I really have to use the bathroom." I tell her in a rush and run to her closest bathroom. She did look at me weird while walking over to open the door. If only she knew why I was rushing to get to the bathroom before her brother saw me.
