Ella finishes braiding her hair and searches for a cute shirt to wear. The least she can do is look cute. She decides on wearing a lavender v-neck shirt and black skinny jeans. She pairs them off with her white converse and an owl necklace.
She saunters over to the mirror and puts on eye liner and mascara to finalize the outfit.As she puts away her make up bag, her phone starts ringing. She looks at the caller ID and sees it's louis.
"Hey lou, what's up?"
"Hey! Not much. Just want to check up on y'all. How are you?"
"I'm good. Niall is in the shower. We're going on a casual date."
"Great, listen, I need to talk to you alone. I know I haven't really told you how much I appreciate you."
"Oh c'mon Louis, you don-"
"Shush and listen," he interrupts. "I appreciate you doing this. I really do. I am so...shocked at how well this has turned out. Not only did you fool everyone, but you made him fall in love."
"He's not in love," Ella blinks and coughs. "He doesn't love me."
"Bullcrap! Yes he does, he just doesn't want to say it. He probably is too scared to say it first. I know he loves you. He looks at you in the most fondest way. He talks so highly and proudly of you. He is genuinely happy with you. And plus," Louis grins. "I know you love him too."
"Wait, no I don't? I mean yes I have really, really strange feelings. But...love?"
"Ella, listen, do you get happy when you see him after being on the road?"
"Yes."
"Does he make you get butterflies when he kisses you?"
"I....um, yes."
"Have you thought about your future and see him in it?"
"No, I have-"
"Don't lie to me."
She sighs and looks down at her lap. "Yes."
"Do you love him?"
"I...I....don't know..."
"Yes you do." Louis sips something. "I know all about love since I myself am in love."
She rolls her eyes. "Yes I know, but-"
"Do you think you're not good enough for him?" Louis asks.
"Well, honestly, yes. He's been...his past relationships. Those girls were rich and A-List. I'm just a regular girl who graduated university in Theater. I work a floral shop and I'm-"
"In love with Niall Horan." Louis smirks and chuckles into the phone. "Niall never cared about those girls. He doesn't know what true love is. He is most likely scared. He won't tell you first until he knows for sure you love him back. However, you must come to your senses that you DO love him. And that you are enough for him."
Ella closes her eyes and lays down on the bed. "Okay, let's say one day I do come to my senses or whatever. How in the world am I going to tell him?"
"I don't know, that's for you to figure out. But you must realize your true feelings for him. I know it can be scary, but trust me, it'll be worth it. He loves you Ella, I know he does."
She rubs her forehead. "I don't know Louis. But like-" suddenly she hears the shower turn off. "Shit, I gotta go. He's out of the shower."
"Okay, just think about what we talked about."
"I will."
"And Ella," Louis says seriously. "Please realize that you are good enough."
He hangs up before she could reply. Ella presses the "End" button and sets the phone on the night stand.
