Chapter 4: Be Here

*Leslie*

I had a blast.

Every minute of today was awesome and who knew Oliver would be able to make it perfect? Who knew we would meet again after four long days in my favourite café on my birthday? Who knew he knew it was my special day? And lastly, who knew he would take me on the most beautiful place I’ve everbeen to and share each other’s secrets?

No one did, not even me.

It wasn’t that long when he already took me home and drove off back to his house. I was walking slowly, wonderstruck, reminiscing every single moment of today. It was beautiful and the perfect song for it? Enchanted.

“I’d spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you,” I sung to the lyrics of Swift’s song in a hushed tone as I make my way to our porch and into our home. But my singing came to a halt when I noticed that the lights were on but there was no noise at all. Oh my gosh. Are we robbed? Pshh, of course not! Robbers aren’t this quiet. I continued walking, faster now, to kill my curiosity.

“Happy birthday, Leslie!” My mother was there, in front of me, with a cake and a couple of candles and balloons were on the floor. A smile crept into my face as I settled my bag on the couch and fixed myself because this would be a small party with just mom and me.

“Thanks mom. This is… surprising,” I said, looking around the set up in the living room. She places the cake on the table and stares at me for a while, still holding the smile I’ve never seen her wear in years.

“This isn’t just the surprise. I’ve got someone with me.” She winks at me and my curiosity comes back. She lets out a gentle whistle and I can feel fingers on both sides of my waist, poking me. I turned around to see—

“Louis!” I exclaimed in surprise and wrapped my arms around his neck, giving him a tight hug. I missed him so much and he was so much taller than me! This is illegal. “I missed you! I haven’t seen you for like, decades!”

“Pfft. Don’t exaggerate sis. I hate to admit this but I missed you too,” he says and gives me a hug again. “Happy birthday, by the way,” he greets me and hands me a paper bag. “Your favourite Wheat, Coffee and Chocolate Cookies. That’s two dozen, just in case one isn’t enough.”

I looked at him again after peeping what’s inside and gasped. “Thank you! I’ve been craving for this!”

“And, our new album,” he tells me and gives it to me. “You’re one of the first ones to get it.”

“Wow! This is the third! I’m so proud of you!” I hugged him again and he gives me a huge smile. “So, where’s the rest of the band?”

“They’re in some hotel right now. This is our last venue for the tour and we’re having a 2-month break so I’m pretty much spending a lot of time here.” What he just said made me wanna jump as high as I can to express how happy I am to have him here. We all walk to the kitchen where mom already served dinner. We ate together and Louis was sharing all his career experiences which I find interesting and fun but sad since you would have to be away from your family for quite some time.

For those of you who didn’t know, Louis is my brother and is 3 years older than me, 10 times more famous than me and 2 inches taller than me. I find his height really annoying since “be taller than Louis” was on my bucket list for 19 years now. I get really happy when I gain height but at the same time, sadly,  he also gains height. See? Who wouldn’t be pissed off of that?
