My Other Half✔️

Chapter 18

"Hannah! What are you doing here?" Clarisse exclaimed as me and Louis entered.

"Just came to visit you, how are you doing?" I asked and we both went to sit on a sofa. I gave Louis a look to see what he was doing and he was going over to talk to this group of old men.

"So, nothing new with you and lover boy over there?" Clarisse asked and smiles.

"No, I have to just accept we'll only be friends."

"I don't get it. He likes you a lot and of course you like him but why do both of you keep saying to each other to be friends."

"I told you already he just likes me as a friend. He has made it clear many times."

"Well you know what, I am going to talk to him until this whole just friends thing is over." Clarisse said and was getting up to I guess go talk to Louis.

But I stopped her before she could. "No. Clarisse please don't. It will be as if we are forcing him... and I don't want that." I was getting anxious, I don't want this to happen like this. "Let's just talk about you instead. Please. " and she sure likes talking about her and I like listening.

"Okay, if that's what you want."

So after chatting with her and some of the other ladies that came to say hi I went back to the car to bring Clarisse her present. I told her to open it on christmas day which was tomorrow.

Louis was waiting for me in the car when I went back.

"Hey. How was it?" He asks while the car was still parked.

"Great, did you see the Christmas tree!!"

"Yes don't you remember I helped putting it up. And you were there gossiping with the ladies."

"I was not!! Plus one of us had to be there, with them and because they like me better they choose me to stay and you went to do the dirty work." I of course was joking but his reacting at first was funny.

"It's true they like you, who wouldn't?" He says and reverse the car to get back to our houses. That made me so confused, I mean it sounds like a compliment.

"Want an ice cream cone?" He asks as we passed the McDonalds he didn't wait for my answer and pull to it.

"Can I get a vanilla and a chocolate ice cream cones please." He says and they said back 'that's all?' Which he turns to me.

"Yep." I said and he pulls to the window and I gave him the money for both and at first he wouldn't take it but I gave it to the cashier so I got to pay.

He is usually always giving me rides and I have tried giving him money for gas but he never takes it. He just says why should you, we are just carpooling. Plus your companion will make up for it. Which made me blush.

"Don't make a mess in my car, I got it clean two days ago." He says knowing that last time my ice cream cone fell in the seat and left a mess. I laugh remembering that day. He made me sit in the back and we drove to the house.

"What are you doing tonight?"

"I think mom wants to cook something and just that. I might go to a party but I haven't looked at my phone yet."

"You have a chat to go to parties?" I asked

"Yep. Thats how I go to so many and since I am so popular and good looking I have to go."

"Stop that!! I will get out the car if you keep that up." Which makes him laugh.

It was finally Christmas and my aunt did make it. So here I was with Kelly, Nathan and Matt. The boys were playing in the xbox even my uncle was playing while Kelly and me catch up with our lives. I told her all about Louis and she wanted to meet him.
