AFFLICTION

26 ~ [Why Him Again?]

These days Louis and I became quite close. He cheered me up these days like a partner. I didnt had Aria and Levi here but he was there as a friend. He's actually a really nice guy to me now. Aside from my family he helped me to recover from those haunted memories, although I didn't even mention anything to him but he understood something was wrong. We met a lot of times these days and we're quite good friends now but still I feel something is not right about this. Whatever it is i just let it aside wanting to think only positive

Although he doesn't know much about my past and whatever happened in my life, he comforted me, made me feel a bit light-hearted. He's just like Levi, a cheerful and joyous guy.

"Ooh.. my flight is going to take off. I'll go now. Goodbye then. See you in New York" saying that I bid my hand as a goodbye and was about to leave but he held my hand

"I'm coming with you, what's that goodbye for?" He chuckled making me confused by what he meant by that
"You are supposed to come by your private jet, remember?" I said raising my eyebrow

"Well I offered you to come with me in my jet before but you refused. I didn't want to travel alone... So I thought as I'll be going in the same time as you.. Why not take the same flight?" He said grinning

Well he's rich but he always try to settle with me. He could just fly by his private plane but troubling himself taking a regular flight just for me. He's just too considerate maybe and it's kinda good as I won't feel myself alone in the flight.

"Ok then. Let's go" I said with a small laugh

The whole flight journey was awesome as I got a partner to chit chat with. We talked and laughed.

"Ladies and Gentlemen the plane is going to land. Please check your seatbelt and be seated" A flight attendant announced. And unknowing a sigh released my mouth "Back to New York"
Soon we were at the New York airport.

"Louis.. Thanks it was a nice journey because of you. See you next time I guess" I smiled waving my hand as I was about to go

"I can drop you. My car is already here" He offered to take me home but I refused saying "No need. I'll manage. Gotta go then. Goodbye"

"Goodbye. Stay safe, See ya soon" He said with a smile and we parted ways. I took a cab and came back to my shared apartment. There I met my flatmate Mayra after so many days. We engaged ourselves in gossips and took dinner together. Then I went to my room and took a shower before sleeping

I texted Levi and Aria that I'm back and we can meet if they want. Then my phone started ringing showing the caller ID 'Louis' , I picked up the call and muttered a small "Hii" and he greeted back

"What are you calling me for?" I asked
"Actually my sister is getting engaged tomorrow as I mentioned before and I want you to come. Don't refuse this time please" He pleaded and I smiled hearing him

"Ok... I'll come" I uttered back
"Didn't expect that from you.. I thought I have to plead you for a long time then you would agree to come" He short laughed

"Then it's good for you that I agreed fast" I affirmed laughing. "Well yes. I'll come to pick you up then" He said

"No need to trouble. I'll come myself. Just tell me the address and time" I said refusing him again. Well too much of my refuses I guess
"Is it that bad to come with me? Come on.. you never let me give you a ride. I'm fine with picking you up then why are you refusing" He muttered in a frowning tone

"Ok okk. I'll go with you then. And the time?" I asked
"Party will start at 7.00 PM. It would be a simple engagement party. Family and friends" He said

"Hmm.. okk I'll be ready before 7 then I'll call you" I told him and then hanged up the call after greeting goodnight.

Engagement party... sounds fun. I hope it would be nice too but as always a hint of worry was there in me. Come on it's just an engagement party! What's there to worry about? Everything's gotta be fine and I'll go and comeback soon. Refusing Louis everytime really doesn't seem good to me as he has always been so nice to me. I just agreed as he sounded really interested in inviting me and I didn't wanted to hurt him refusing more
