Being a Fake Celebrity

Chapter 12

"Fuck, I hate this kind of rainy days!" I say as I look outside the window. I just arrived in London after so much time spent in the US working. I found out last week that I have a private concert in UK. I do not know what to feel about me being in London after so much time but I think that I am going to survive this week. I have friends here, so it would not be so bad.

I take my phone and call Louis. He answers to me with a sleepy voice and it is afternoon.

"Hay, Louis. I wake you up?"

"Hey. No. I was just staying in bad....Ok, I was sleeping. I gotta admit it!"

"Sorry."I laugh.

"It's ok. How are you?"

"I just came back to London. You know....work and stuff and I was wandering if you want to drink a coffee!?"

"Yes. That's a very good idea."

"You sound very enthusiast."

"I am. See ya soon. I gotta take a shower."

"Ok, see you in an hour?"

"An hour. And Demi?! Welcome back to London!!!"

"Thank you, Louis."

I hang up smiling. He always knew how to make my day better.

After an hour I go in the hotel's lobby to wait for Louis. While I look for Louis I see one of Taylor's bodyguards scanning the room. It surprised me to see him there so I go to him.

"Hay. You're Taylor's bodyguard, right?"

"Yes. Something happened?" He looks at me ready for action and concerned.

"No. Everything it's fine. What are you doing here?"

"Doing my job?!"

"Taylor is here?"

"Yes. She came yesterday. Oh, you didn't know."

I see Louis. "No. I didn't, but thanks. I gotta go. Nice seeing you. Take care of her."

"I will." And I go.

Louis looks handsome as always. I am still pissed that I cannot fall for him. His blue eyes are so honest that any woman could fall for them. It seems like I am not any woman. But despite that he is such a good friend. He is smart and honest. He cares for his friends and I know that because he was always there for me when I most needed. Jeans and a simple t-shirt is his outfit today. And he got a bright smile on his face.

We hug and change compliments. Then we go to the cafeteria to get charged with caffeine.

"So... What happened while I was gone?" I ask.

"I'll tell you later. Where have you been this whole time? You disappear out of the blue and only told Taylor that you would be gone for a while."

"I'm sorry but I didn't have my phone with me. I was in Hawaii and Cuba. It was amazing. You should have seen the view and the people. It was amazing!!!"

"Wow. Beautiful places. Why you didn't get your phone?"

"Because I wanted to disconnect myself from everything. I meditated a lot and made peace with myself."

"It sees on you. You seem happy and have brightened eyes. You're changed in a good way."

"I am happier. Any news? You know that Taylor is here?"
"Taylor? No, I didn't." He looks disappointed and sad.
"What happened, Louis?"
"Nothing. I'm just surprised that she didn't mention anything last night when we talk."
"You stayed friends, right?! I heard that you two had a thing a couple of weeks ago."
"We had, but it didn't work as I hoped. But the sex is amazing. I discovered her too late.... we had so much fun."
"OMG. I didn't have to know the details. Louis?!"
"What?! I'm just honest."
"Too honest."
"Anyway, you heard that Niall gave Don a promise ring?"
"What? So soon?"
I am shocked but not in the way that it hurts. I am amazed. He half proposed to her. Just half. That is funny and so Niall. I do not know what is it with him but seems like he is insane. How can you half propose?
"And she said yes?"
"Yes. Why are you so amazed?"
"I don't do half of things. Promise ring?! Bullshit!!!"
We start laughing.
"You clearly have changed. It didn't bother you?"
"No. Niall can do whatever he wants with his life. That's not my businesses anymore."
"Ooo....and one more thing. Zayn proposed to Cara! This time is the whole deal!"
"No. Please tell me that you're joking. How can he do that?"
"You have a crush on Zayn or something? Demi, tell me the truth!" Ups. He catches me.
"Ok. Maybe a little bit. But how can he do that after all that she's done?"
