Perfect Now [l.t]

Poker face ⛅️

JAYS' POV
My heart is still thumping. I can't believe I've just had a full conversation with Louis. It's unbelievable. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Esme watching me. I turn to look at her and I can't see what her emotion is. "What's that face for?" I ask curiously. She avoids eye contact with me and continues packing. "Es?" I ask. Sighing, she turns to look at me. "Nothing." is her response. I glare at her. "Come on , you can tell me." Esme looks flustered but opens her mouth to speak. "It's just that..um..well," she pauses "I am probably just a bit jealous." Her eyes turn to the floor. I stand up and walk over to her and pull her into a hug. "Hey, you realise that if anything actually happens with me and lou it means that it's possible me and you could chill with the rest of the boys... including Harry." I say smirking. Esmes face lights up although there's still a shadow of her previous emotion etched on her face. Hugging me tighter I remember that I need to finish packing, so that's what I do.

ESMES' POV
Thinking about the plan and how well it went isn't as satisfying as I believed it would be. I'm confused as to whether it was the right thing to do. On the one hand, it got them messaging which could've taken a whole lot longer, had I not stepped in. However, on the other hand, it could cause some mixed communications and Jay could be hurt if she finds out he didn't actually message her first. I've decided that my poker face isn't very good as she got slightly suspicious so I blurted out some nonsense about being jealous to make her lose the scent I guess. I mean there is an element of truth there I suppose but I would never let my feelings get in the way of Jay.

Anyways, I'm so happy for Jay because Louis has literally been her everything for the longest time. It was very sweet how she comforted me and I suppose she does have a point. I could meet the boys again but I would want Jay to be happy with Louis regardless, whether it gave us a link to the boys or not. "Es, please could you help me shut my suitcase, I don't know why it has gotten so full ugh!" Jays voice breaks me out of my daze. Instantly I walk over and help her with a smile on my face. I love my bestfriend.

Authors note
hi sorry for the shorter chapter aha . Also the writing might be a bit off because I'm writing this late at night so 😅

Will Esme be able to keep her meddling a secret?

Hope you enjoyed! If you did, please comment&vote it would mean a lot to me xo
