-Chelsea-
I'm awakened from my sleep by a loud crash in the vicinity of my dorm room. I quickly sit up in my bed, extending my legs to the floor to walk to the light switch Even though it was morning, My curtains were closed, causing the room to be dark. I flicked the light switch on, revealing Louis leaning over my desk
"How did you get in here?!" I ask, crossing my arms "And why are you in here?" I am slightly upset that he has woken me up this early, but I am also extremely relieved that it is Louis, and not someone trying to brutally murder me...
"You forgot your brownie plate in my car the other day" He says with a sheepish grin, holding up the plate I had brought to the Christmas party days earlier
"So you decide to return it a week later at 5:00 in the morning?" I ask with a hint of aggravation in my voice.
"Yeah, um- Sorry about that" He says with an apologetic smile, his eyes now looking around my room "I have to go buy some food for the dorm room, so I wanted to drop this off to you first-so i wouldn't forget again" his eyes made their way back to mine
"You still didn't answer my question as to how you got in here"
" you left a spare key under your welcome mat outside the door. Which is not a smart thing to do. A creep could find it and break into your room"
"You say that like it didn't just happen" I smirk "You're lucky I didn't have my pepper spray in hand. You probably would have had some in your eyes by now" I smiled at him, making him feel at ease "But why are you going this early?" I ask, wondering why he would want to venture out this early in the morning
"I drank the last of Derek's orange juice" He said
"...So?" I ask, still confused
"You don't know how he is about the juice of the oranges" he said, pointing his finger at me "It will be the end of the world if he wakes up to find his orange juice gone. So I'm doing it now" he walked to the door
I laugh slightly at what he just said, thinking that he probably wasn't exaggerating by the way Monica talks about Derek.
"Well you have fun with that" I smile, about to shut the door
He turns around swiftly before I am able to do so "Sorry about waking you up so early" he chuckles
"You should be" I joked, sending him a smile as i close the door completely
Louis Tomlinson...what am I going to do with his boy? I can feel myself starting to develop feelings for him. No matter how much I want to stop myself from doing so...it's like there's this force pulling me towards him...and there's something that makes me not want to fight it.
-Louis-
I slowly turn into the convenient store's parking lot, putting my car into park. I can hear the small bell ring above me as I open the door. I walk to the refrigerated section, grabbing a carton of orange juice. Before going to the cash register, I decide to get Chelsea something..sort of as an apology for barging into her room at such early hours of the morning. What do girls like...what does Chelsea like? She must like chocolate..all girls like chocolate, right? I scan the shelves, looking for a good chocolate bar. I contemplated on a couple of chocolate bars, deciding on a king size snickers and a packet of M&M's.
"Will that be all?" The cashier asks, scanning the items
I nod my head, pulling out a five dollar bill and handing it to her
" A Dollar' fifteen is your change" She informs me, placing the change into my hand. I quickly shove it into my pocket, grabbing the bag that held my items.
-Chelsea-
"Sorry" Monica says, letting a small laugh escape from your lips "I didn't know he was going to go into your room at 5:00 in the morning. I gave the key to him yesterday when you weren't in the building. He must've forgotten to return it then"
"No kidding" I laughed, rolling my eyes "I almost had a heart attack"
"Hey ladies" Derek says, entering the lounging room where Monica and I were. He slides into the seat beside her, placing a kiss on her cheek
"Hey" She smiled, leaning into him
"So, what are you two up to?" He asks, pulling one leg over the other
"Just discussing how Louis broke into Chelsea's room at 5:00 this morning to return a brownie plate" Monica smirks
"Oh gosh" Derek laughed leaning his head back "That boy; I swear" he gives his head a slight shake
"Speak of the devil" Monica says, looking at the doorway. Louis makes his way into the room, sitting in the seat across from me
"These are for you" he says, pulling our a snickers bar and a bag and M&M's
I take them, giving him a confused look
"For breaking into your room"
"Ah" I say, laughing as I put the candy into my purse. "Thanks Louis"
"Welcome" he nods, squishing the plastic bag and placing it into the garbage bin placed next to us.
-Louis-
I watch Chelsea put the candy into her purse, her delicate fingers pulling the zipper open.
"So" Derek utters, making me look up at him "How about we all go out to eat tomorrow at Olive Garden"
"I think that's a wonderful idea" Monica chirps
I gave Derek an inquiring look, wondering why he wants to do this
"How about it Chelsea?" Monica smiles widely
"Oh I don't know" Chelsea sets her purse down "I have a paper I need to write, and-"
"Oh come on" Derek grins, "You're coming. No excuses"
"Fine" she smiles, "I better go work on that paper now then. I'll see you guys later." She picks up her purse once again, exiting the room
"What was that all about?" I ask, leaning back in the seat
"Louis, if you want to get anywhere with this girl, you have to step out..go on a date"
"She won't go if she thinks it's a date. You can't make this seem like a date" I say, looking at Derek and Monica
"Okay, but you two are sitting next to each other. And you are dressing up" Monica says, pointing at my clothes
"Fine" I groan
"Yay!" Monica clapped, squirming slightly in her seat "I'll make sure Chelsea dresses up too. 7:00 tomorrow evening?" She asks, shifting her gaze from Derek, to me, then back to Derek
"Sounds good" Derek nods. I do the same
"Great! I go tell Chelsea" Monica gets up from her seat, going to go talk to Chelsea
"That was sweet" Derek said, lifting his feet onto the couch
"What was sweet?" I ask, mimicking his actions
"You buying chocolate for Chelsea" he smirked
"Well I woke her up at 5:00 in the morning. I scared her too" I chuckled
"Yeah, but it was still sweet" he said
"So..what do you think I should wear?" I ask, now sort of concerned on if I would have the right apperal to do this tomorrow. I don't want to look bad. Especially if Chelsea is dressing up..She doesn't have to dress up to look good, so I know she is going to look especially good tomorrow. I can feel my nerves a little bit..which is weird, because I never get nervous for things like this...and it's not even a date. What is Chelsea doing to me?
"She's really got you shook up, huh?" Derek laughs "Just something nice. Nothing old and ratty"
"Well I figured that much" I smirk. "I'm going to go pick out an outfit" I say, pushing myself off the couch
"Right now?" he asks "A day before?" he pauses before laughing loudly "Oh my gosh, you're acting like a girl"
"Shut up" A laugh before walking to my dorm room.
I walk to my closet, scanning through all of my outfits. I then realize I am acting like a girl; picking out my outfit the night before, worrying about looking nice. Geez. I stop myself from feeling more like a girl, and pull out my laptop, finding Chelsea's Facebook page. I look through her pictures, smiling as I go through her countless pictures. She hadn't taken most of them. A majority of the pictures that were on her page, were taken by other people. In every one, she always had a smile on her face. Weather she knew there was a camera near her or not. Her smile..it was captivating to say the least. It was full of authentic joy and happiness. As if she didn't have a care in the world. It's contagious for sure; I feel myself smiling once again, I click the 'send friend request' button on her page. Seconds later I had a notification on my page, saying she had accepted it
"And so it begins"
