Chapter Fifteen

Thanks for 6k reads!! <3

After school, me and Louis went to an ice cream parlor. We ordered our ice cream, and Louis decided to get two scoops of ice cream, the first scoop was chocolate and the second was mint chocolate chip. I decided to get two scoops too; the first scoop was vanilla and the second was cookie dough. We were sitting at a table outside, a big umbrella over us.

"Thanks for this, Louis. This is making me feel way better." I say, smiling. He smiles back at me, "It's the least I could do, I mean, you were upset and I didn't want to continue to see you like that." I watch as he bites into his ice cream with his teeth, I cringe. " Doesn't that hurt?" He chuckles, "Nope. You try it." I shake my head, "No, it's going to hurt!" I use my spoon to scoop up my ice cream and pop it into my mouth. "How do you know? Have you done it before?" He asks, "No.." I mumble hesitantly, Louis grins. "Well, try it!" I groan and roll my eyes, "Fine." I bite into my ice cream and my face instantly scrunches up like a baby who's biting into a lemon for the first time.

Louis laughs at me, causing my face to go red in embarrassment. "Not funny.." I mumble rubbing my cold teeth with my tongue. "Yeah, you're right it's not funny, it's hilarious!" He laughs louder, causing me to roll my eyes and groan. I then playfully punch him on his shoulder and he sticks his tongue out at me, I do it back. We look at each other for a couple of seconds, big grins on our face, then we both start laughing loudly. "It was a little funny." I admit, Louis nods in agreement. We continue to eat our ice cream and talk about random things. "You know, this is like a date." Louis states, "Do you want to count this as our second date?" He thinks about it for a moment, "Yeah, why not." I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, I take out my phone, it's a text from mom. Louis looks at me curiously.

Mom: Where are you?

Clementine: I'm at the ice cream parlor with Louis.

Clementine: I'll be home soon, sorry that I didn't tell you.

"Who was that?"

"My mom, she was wondering where I was."

"I'm not as nervous as I was to meet your parents, I'm getting excited, actually."

"I'm glad, and I'm excited too! AJ misses you, by the way."

"Aw, tell little dude that I'll see him really soon, but it's a surprise." He tells me, winking after saying 'surprise'.  "I will."

After we've finished our ice cream, Louis wanted to walk me home and I happily agreed. We were holding hands, joking around, and having random conversations. Once we both made it to the front door of my house, I sighed, not wanting our great time we spent together to end. We hugged each other tightly, not wanting to let go. "See you." He mumbles in my ear, which causes me to shiver. "See you." I whisper against his chest, "Thanks for such a great time, Lou." I look up at him, still hugging him. He looks down at me, caressing my cheek. "There's no need to thank me, Clemster." I cringe, and instantly stop hugging him. "And you ruined our intimate moment." I groan and rolled my eyes, placing my hand on the door knob, about to go inside. "Well, you called me Lou, which is my nickname. So I can call you Clemster, since that's your nickname."

"Clem is my nickname, not Clemster, that's just cringy." I state, not looking at him. I turn the knob, until I fell Louis's hands on my waist, which startles me. He spins me around to face him, pushing my body against him. I place my hand against his chest and we lean in to kiss passionately.

Thursday - One day before Sophie's party - 10:50pm

Louis and I have been debating all week whether or not we should go to Sophie's party. Since we know that Sophie's little scheme has something to do with the both us, we want to stay home. I told Violet, Minerva, Ruby, Aasim, and Marlon that we'd stay home. Violet, Minerva, Ruby and Aasim all agreed, except Marlon. He told us that we should have some fun and go, and that he'll be with us 24/7, kinda like our bodyguard. I thought it was a good idea, but Louis was iffy about it. "We don't have that much time to decide, Lou. Should we go or not?" I ask. I hear him sigh, "I don't know, Clem. We don't know what she's planning, so it would be dumb for us to go. Don't you think?" I nod in agreement, "Yeah, but don't you want to have fun? I haven't been to a party in a while."

"Of course I want to have fun, but I don't want to something to happen to you or me. I don't want to go." I frowned. I wan't to go, but then I don't. "I'll go to the party, and Marlon can be my bodyguard, so nothing will happen to me." I tell him, he sighs deeply, getting annoyed. "Listen, Marlon is my best friend and all, but when he's at parties he tends to get wild. He gets drunk to the point where he can't even remember his name. Do you really think I'd let him be your 'bodyguard'?  If you know that Sophie's up to something and it has to deal with the both of us, then why do you want to go so bad?"

I sit in silence, not knowing what to say. He groans, getting even more annoyed, "Come on, Clementine, answer me." My heart beats faster when he says 'Clementine' because he usually only calls me that when he's serious, or upset, etc.

I go to go say something, but he says: "Never mind, just forget it. Go to the damn party." He then hangs up, leaving me feeling bad. I sigh deeply, shaking my head. "Great job, Clementine." I mumble sarcastically.

What I didn't want to tell Louis was that the main reason why I want to go to the party is because I want to know what she's planning to do to us--well, me. I rather her do it to me, than Louis, and if I were to tell him that, he'd freak out and want to go to the the party instead.

But I'm not going to risk him getting hurt.

A/N: Oooh, do you think Clementine is doing the right thing? The next chapter is going to be about my Clouis headcanons!!

Question of the day: Are you girly or a tomboy-ish?

My answer: Tomboy 100%
