Chapter 12 - Night, Night Bitch

Clarissa's POV

“Louis, I want to go home.”  I hugged myself to try to keep myself warm.   We just came back from Australia and instead of going back to the flat,  Louis decided to take me out.   I forgot how cold it is back here.  I’m freezing.

Louis wrapped his arm around my waist.  “I want to take you shopping, but why don’t we head to Starbucks and get some hot coffee or chocolate?”

I nodded.  “Sure, but why didn’t we just take your car?  Why did we have to come walking?”   Who would want to go walking out when its under temperature.  Oh yeah, Louis.

“Babe, the reason we didn’t take my car is because you need some exercise.”  He let out a bark of laughter as I glared at him, and gave him a light punch on his shoulder.

“You’re calling me fat.”  I pouted.   Louis laughed again as this time he let go of my waist and held my hand.  People were giving us weird looks because we were wearing sun glasses when it’s freezing out, and the sun isn’t out.

Louis and made our way into Starbucks and took off our sun glasses.   We walked towards the cash register and saw a beautiful girl with brunette curly hair.

“Hello, welcome to Starbucks.  My name is Danielle what would you like-“  She suddenly paused when she looked at us.

Uh-oh…

Is she a fan of theirs?

“Danni, what are you doing here?”  Louis asked with a shock expression.  My eyebrows furrowed when I read her name tag.  Danielle.   Why does that name sound so familiar?

“Well, I um needed a job.”  Danielle spoke quietly like she was ashamed.   I suddenly felt bad for her.

“What happened to dancing?” Louis asked then paused.  “Does Liam know you work here?” 

Liam?  Why would Liam want to know?  Who’s Danielle?  How does she know Liam- Wait.  Danielle.  Danielle Peazer.   She’s Liam’s girlfriend!   No wonder her name sounded so familiar, but why is she working at Starbucks?

“Well I hurt my leg pretty bad and I might not be able to dance for a couple of months.  So I took a job here.”   She replied then looked at me.   I gave her a smile, and before I knew it.  She left the counter and embraced me in a hug.   I hugged her back.

Louis cleared his throat and Danielle blushed.  “Sorry.”

“So does Liam know?”

“Louis.”  Danielle let out a shaky sigh.  “Li-Liam broke up with me a couple of weeks ago.”  I looked at her and I knew she was trying her best not to cry.   I hugged her again and she started to sob.

“He never told us.”  Louis muttered, he had a guilty expression in his face.   “Wait, he didn’t end your relationship because of-“

“Sophia.”  Danielle let go of me and turned to Louis.  She sniffed.  “Yeah, he did.”

Danielle’s eyes were puffy, and she had tear stains on her cheeks.  She still had a couple of tears, she wiped them off.  She let out another sniff.    “I’m sorry, c-can I get you something to drink?”
