To Louis Tomlinson, he thought that life in One Direction was more than enough of him but what happens when a little miracle comes in the way?
***
"Is this Louis Tomlinson?" I asked over the phone, god my hands are sweating like hell.
"Yes, may I ask who this is?" He responded quite politely with his thick British accent, the same accent he used on me at the coffee shop. Holy salads, this is weird.
"My name is Gail, Gail Fawn. You probably don't know me since we met 6 years ago at a club in Somerville Street" I explained removing the other details that happened.
"Oh" there was a long pause, i crossed my fingers on the back hoping for him to remember me "Brown hair, brown eyes?" he asked trying to recall my appearance.
I was actually impressed about what he described about me. Either it was a really good guess or he really remembered me.
"So which is it, a guess or do you remember me?"
"Vaguely, i vaguely remember you" he laughed on the other line.
"So.... you remembered what happened after that yeah?" I asked cautiously, i was trying to avoid the three letter word that starts with an 's'.
"Mhm... yeah, the night at the club, yes, yes i do remember that. But why are you calling me now?"
"Because.....cause....I....love.... you?"
What the actual fuck Gail?! You don't know him that much and now you're saying that you loved him? Spit it out you idiot!
I face palmed at myself over the phone, i answered his question like it was a question too, i didn't love him, i had his child.
He chuckled for a little while before regaining himself back on the other line "I'm sorry to break it to you sweetheart but...I'm already taken and i'm happy with her so-"
Before i could even let him finish, i cutted him off "Fuck it Tomlinson, you have a daughter, that's why I called"
"And he has curly hair." Louis says dreamily, his head resting on his hand. "The brightest green eyes and the cutest dimples. God I just love talking to Harry. He gets me. Same sense of humour, can handle my sarcasm and he is so sweet."
"You're so gone for that boy." Eleanor shakes her head fondly when she looks at her best friend. She has never seen those heart eyes on Louis before. "Why don't you meet up? The two of you have been texting now for a few weeks and you seem to click. You said he lives in London too, right? Just go for it, Lou. You deserve a nice boyfriend. Your smile hasn't been wiped off your face since you started texting. What's the problem? He has asked you to meet a few times already, no?"
"I can't." Louis' smile immediately vanishes like snow in the burning sun.
"Why not? Come on, you are not the nervous type, Tommo. Just go for it. If it doesn't work romantically at least you had some fun, no?" Eleanor nudges her friend with her elbow and takes place next to him on the couch.
"Promise me you don't get angry, El?" Louis bites his lip nervously.
"What? No, I could never be angry with you. What's wrong, Louis? Come on you can tell me!"
"He thinks I'm you..."
When Louis' best friend Eleanor hasn't dated in a while, he decides to take the matter in own hands and create a profile for her on an online dating app.
But what happens when a guy with brown curly hair and the brightest green eyes starts texting?
Maybe Louis' decision to play Eleanor is not the best one he has ever made, for sure not when he develops serious feelings for the boy who is supposed to text his best friend.
