The Player's Game [Louis T. AU]

Chapter 22

-Chelsea-

Louis has taken me out every night this week. Every time it's different. I tell him all the time that he doesn't have to take me out, that I'm just fine with staying on campus with him. But he insists on taking me places. i told him that after this week, i wont allow him to take me anywhere. We will see how that goes over. Last night he took me paint-balling...something I would be ok with never doing again. I have many bruises to remind me. But I still had a great time. The night was full of smiles and laughter. He makes everything enjoyable-something I've always admired about him.

"So you just lay in the yard and look at the sky?" Monica asked as she cupped her chin into her hand

"Yes" I replied "that's what star gazing is" I smiled, crouching down to roll up my sleeping bag that I had messily thrown into my closet.

"It sounds boring" she replied, tossing Bagels bone, watching him retrieve it

"I think it will be fun." I wrapped the elastic band around the mesh material. Standing up and placing my hands on my hips as I finished

"You're only going because Louis invited you" Monica smirked "you would never do this otherwise"

I rolled my eyes, tossing my sleeping bag onto my bed

"Don't you roll your eyes at me. You know it's true. But whatever. I'm just glad you guys are finally official."

I smiled, giving her a slight nod.

"Pack the beanie he gave you" Monica said, her face brightening.

"..why?" I furrowed my brow

"Cause it would be cute. That's why" Monica strides over to my desk and snatched the beanie from its resting place, tossing it into my bag

"Louis talks about you all the time you know" Monica said in a quieter tone

"To you?" I raised an eyebrow

"No" she cracked a smile "to Derek."

-Louis-

"Do you think she likes chocolate chip cookies?" I ask Derek as I finish packing a box of snacks for Chelsea and I

"I can't imagine she doesn't." He shrugged

I tossed some pretzels and grapes into the box and snapped the lid shut.

"She told me that I wasn't aloud to take her anywhere off campus anymore for dates" I turned to Derek "why do you think that is"

"Dude, you've taken her out every night for what" he looked to the ceiling. "Twelve days in a row now?" He gave me a look "She doesn't care if you take her out somewhere. She just wants to spend time with you"

"Since when did you know so much about the female species?"

"Ever since I started dating Monica" he smirked

"I see. Well I'm going to go get Chelsea"

"Ok. If you see Monica, tell her I'm in here"

"Alright"

I grabbed all my belongings and made my way to Chelsea's room. Soon after I knocked on the door, feet were shuffling, and Chelsea's smiling face appeared in the doorway

"Hey babe" I said, propping the door open with my foot as she grabbed her things

"Hi" she replied, picking up her sleeping bag and pillow

" Derek's in our room" I directed to Monica, who quickly stood up

"Thanks. You guys have fun" she exited with a wave. The sound of Her flip flops echoed throughout the hall as she walked to the stairway
