Inevitable

Chapter 21

"So Zayn, where exactly are we going?" Jess asks from behind me. Louis is driving and I'm in the passenger seat next to him. I haven't spoken a word since I've been held captive in this car with them. All i can do is stare out the window of the Porche.

I watch all the people on the streets walking, couples hand in hand, couples everywhere. I deeply sigh to myself. I'm pathetic. I have Louis Tomlinson to my right and I'm jealous of Jess and Zayn? Why? It's frustrating. I need to figure this out. I have to tell Jess also.

"Rhennie are you alright?"

I snap my head up to look at Louis, "Yeah I'm fine!" I flash him a quick smile and he returns it, only it wasnt convincing. He knows something is up. "So, like Jess asked before, where are we going?"

I try to take the tension out of the car caused by me.

"We're going to the heart of the city. To a restaurant called The Hollmann Salon." Louis says while his eyes are on the road.

"Hollmann Salon? hmm... I don't think we've ever been there have we Rhenn?" Jess responds.

"Nope we haven't, this is going to be a new experience for us." I say slightly through my teeth, thankfully nobody seems to notice my tone and they proceed to talk about the restaurant.

I try and tune them out. Finally they stop talking when we pull into the front. I put my hand on the door handle to get out. " No Rhenn, stay there!" Louis shouts as he runs to my side. I giggle as he helps me out.  Zayn helps Jess out on the drivers side "Thank you" She says shyly. I roll my eyes and sling my arm through Louis as he hands the keys to the val let.

"This place is beautiful." I say in awe.

"Yeah it is." I hear Jess from behind me.

I look down at my feet and watch as I walk on the cobble stone street.  I should stop. Jess is doing nothing wrong. I have got to disguise my jealousy and enjoy my time with my best friend and Louis. I guess I'm jealous of the way he is with her. He's not afraid to show her off and show how much he's into her. Where-as Louis is a little bit more timid. Like he's almost afraid to try anything but link arms. I guess I had different expectations from my dream. But that's just it, it was JUST a dream. Alright I can do this. With a final nod I look up and put a smile on my face as we approach the host's' podium.

Zayn and Louis leave us girls to talk to the host. Jess immediately looks at  me and squeezes my shoulder. "This is going to be a night to remember!" She squeals quietly. "I know!!" I squeal right back. It's true, I'm excited to be here with them.  This is a once in a life time opportunity. Who would've thought this would ever happen to two Small town girls? Not I. Not Jess. Miracles do happen. I smile to myself. The boys come back towards us and lead us to our table in the back of the restaurant on the deck. There was no body out here. Just a few empty tables and a band playing tin the corner.

"This is amazing." I say look at Louis and squeezing his arm a bit.

"Beautiful place for a beautiful girl." He grins at me, proud of his comment. I grin right back, meaning it this time.
