Haven't Met You Yet

Chapter 13- Nothing's Changed

Chapter 13:

"Hello handsome." She purred at him with a lingering smile.

I felt him tense up. I looked back up at him, he looked down into my eyes.

"I'm going to bed. Come with me?" He said kind of loudly. Enough for Caroline to hear. She raised an eyebrow confused.

"No, it's ok. I'll be up in a bit." He knows I don't want to be there as much as no one does, but I have to be welcoming. He shot me an are-you-sure look. I just nodded. Lou wrapped an arm around my waist from beside me.

"Don't worry, mate. I got her." He said looking at Harry with a sweet smirk.

I look back over at Caroline, she grabbed a room key from the man behind the desk. "Oh, what room are you staying in?"

"Um, 32 D." She said looking down at her room card.

"Oh, that's right next door from our room." I blurt out. Lou looks at me with wide eyes as in saying I shouldn't of told her that kind of information.

"Perfect!" She exclaims. "So, Louis, why haven't you told me about you and..."

"Ella, and no no no, we're not together." I finish her sentence.

"Oh, no. Just good mates. Going back to my first question, what are you doing here?" Lou said rubbing the side of my waist with his thumb.

"Oh, well, my plane was delayed, so I'm staying here for the night.. So, Ella, any love interests in the group?" She said looking a bit too curious.

"Well, yes, actually." I say with a straight face a small smile. I can see she's getting frustrated.

"Really now? Who might that be?"

"That's for me to know, and not the whole lobby." I say with a disapproving tone. She has no right to just walk into our lives and ask who I'm in love with and not.

"Um.. I think we should get going to bed." I turn my head to see Liam, Zayn, and Niall sitting on the chairs kind of nervous.

"I agree." Lou says looking at me. I just nod.

We make our way to the elevator, not even caring if Caroline's following or not. Thankfully not. When the elevator doors shut, they all release a long sigh of relief.

"If we didn't leave, you two would probably going at each other with daggers." Liam said jokingly.

"She does not like you one bit." Zayn said shaking his head.

"Well, that's a good thing. Because I'm not too fond of her myself." I said rolling my eyes. "What's her deal anyways?" They all went silent. "Zayn?" He looked at the ground. "Liam?" He bit his lip. "Niall?" He looked around at the ceiling. "Lou?"

"I-I'll tell you later." He stuttered as the doors opened.

We all went our seperate ways, except me and Lou. I decided to stay with him for a while to learn more about Caroline. He opens his door, and enters to the bathroom. I walk over to his bed and sit at the end waiting for him.

"Ok, now talk Tomlinson." I said while pulling down my dress.

"Ugh, well, um, she's.." He walked out in his pajamas with his hand at the back of his neck. "Harry's ex.."

My eyes widened in astonishment. "Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. He went out with..... That? What was he thinking?" I practically bursted out laughing.

"Well, he was a young lad. It was during the X-Factor, and he fancied cougars. Caroline was his first of many." I cringed at the thought. "You're his first to be around his age."
