Story Of my life

Chapter 39- Group Message

Louis' POV

Last night, we returned here in our house in London because Simon said that with all the rumors going on, we need to keep it low for a while and that is so fine with us. Especially if it means rest and doing nothing all day. So I just wanted to let you all know.. That i hate surprises. I dont know why but, i just freaking do! Most people do..

Anyway.. Speaking of surprises. El and Sophia visited us today. Yay. Note the sarcasm. It's not that i didn't want to see them.. It's just that im still confused as fuck. I dont freaking know what im feeling... They said that if you really loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen for the second. But Bella's my first love right? Then i fell for El which means El is the second but Then now.. I think Im falling for Bella all over again. I think...Any advice?

"Louis, babe. Are you okay?" El said snapping her fingers infront of me. I snapped out of my thoughts. I looked at her, i can see she's worried. Then i looked around and saw everyone looking at me.

"Umm. Yea. Why wouldn't i be?" I said and fake a smile.

"You zoned out for like 5 minutes. El kept calling your name but you were just staring into space." Harry said.

"Oh. I-i was just thinking of something." I said and looked at Bella.

She caught me looking at her then she shot me a understanding look and smiled weakly. I returned the gesture.

"So.. What were you going to say to me?" I asked El.

"Ah! Everyone decided that we should go to Bella's lake house this weekend. What do you think?" El asked excitedly. I smiled at her weakly.

"Sounds fun." I said and nodded.

"Great! We're all set!" She said and jumping on her seat. We chuckled.

"So we're doing it this weekend?" Niall asked.

"Yepp. Well, if that's okay with Bella?" El said and Everyone looked at Bella. Bella's eyes widen with all the attention that we were giving her.

"Me? Why me?" Bella asked confusedly. I suddenly burst out laughing. Everyone looked at me as if i went crazy.

"Ofcourse we're asking you. It's your lake house silly." I said. I dont know why i even find that hilarious. i just do. Bella's mouth formed into an 'o' . I chuckled at her face expression.

"Oh. Righhht. Ofcourse!" She said and smiled sheepishly, embarassed. I chuckled and shook my head.

Everyoned smiled.

"It's settle then! Wait, it's friday today isn't it?" Liam asked.

"Oh my god, yes! It is!" Sophia exclaimed.

"So that means we're going to your lake house tomorrow! OMG im so excited!" El squealed. Bella chuckled and shook her head at El.

"How do you have a lake house anyway?" I asked her. She raised her eyebrows at me.

"You underestimate me Louis." She said and pouted. I smirked which cause her to roll her eyes.

"I earned it. I bought it with my own money i earn from this job. Im just all alone for the past year remember? My parents and i were rich back then. When they died, they left me all their money and our properties. We had a company of our own but when they died, i couldn't manage it myself. I was young and petite. So.. I sold it. Then last year, I sold our house and just bought a condominuim of my own. So, money kept going in... And little are going out." She said proudly.

I smiled.

"So what property do you have that we dont know about? Huh babe? What other secrets are you keeping from us?" Zayn teased and kissed her nose. She giggled and El chuckled.
