One Day (One Direction)

Chapter Forty-Two

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO:

Louis and I walked back to his house after meeting his friends. He gave me a tour of the house before we both settled down in his room. He let me use the shower first so I could get ready for the party. I changed into a white crochet smock with a white lace camisole under it, wave hem turquoise shorts, white TOMS, and a blue and turquoise owl necklace. 

“So yeah there’s like a party tonight. Do you both want to come?” I asked Alex over the phone. Him and Nate were currently renting a hotel room together. 

“Sure just text us the details and we’ll be there. How was Louis’s family and friends?” Alex asked me. 

“His family is amazing. They’re super sweet. And like his friends are cool but like one of them kind of pissed me off today,” I answered him. Right now Louis was in the shower. I was sitting on his bed just on the phone talking to Alex. Jay trusted us to stay in his room together. It had been a couple of hours since we left Stan, Joe, Riley and Lindsay. The party was in another thirty minutes. 

“Uh oh tell me all about it,” Alex said and I laughed.

“Where do I even begin? For starters she was giving me death glares the whole time I was there. And then she had her hands all over Louis. And when we were leaving she threatened me. She told me that Louis was hers and to back off or else. Grr,” I exclaimed. 

“Have you told Louis?” Alex asked me seriously. 

“No,” I admitted. 

“Why not?”

“Because she’s his friend. I don’t want to ruin that,” I sighed. 

“Rose she wants to take him away from you and that’s not cool. I think you need to tell him. Just so he is wary about her you know?” He told me and I sighed again. 

“Fine. I guess so,” I grumbled. 

“That’s my Rose. Let me know how it all works out. I’ll see you later ok?” Alex said. 

“Ok bye,” I said and disconnected the call. 

“Who was that?” Louis asked as he entered the room fully dressed in blue jeans and a blue and white stripped shirt for tonight. 

“Alex. Yeah I think we need to talk,” I said and patted down on the bed so he would sit next to me. 

“What’s wrong love?” He asked me concerned as he sat down next to me. 

“It’s just. Riley. I don’t like her. I think she is just trying to take you away from me,” I admitted guiltily as I avoided his eyes. 

“Why would you say something like that?” He asked me incredulously. 

“Because like she was giving me death stares and stroking your back and she kept trying to make me mad,” I said as I stared at my feet. 

“You definitely don’t have anything to worry about with her. She doesn’t see me that way. We’re just friends.”

“Then why would she tell me to back off and that your hers and to leave you alone or else?” I said finally looking into his eyes. 

“Why would you say something like that?” Louis stood up angrily. 

“Say something like what?” I asked confused. 

“Say something like that about my friend. She never would say that. Don’t lie to me,” he crossed his arms. Wait what? He doesn’t believe me?

“I’m not lying,” I said firmly as I started to stand up. 

“Yes you are. I don’t see why you are because you know you have me. I gave you the promise ring and everything. So just tell me why you’re lying,” he said evenly.
