The Hipsters and The Girl
I'm Not Jealous
Alex’s POV
My bed grew more comfortable with Louis in it, when he was here it reminded me of old times when we’d sleep out on my trampoline and look at the stars or sleeping over at each others houses for weeks at a time over summer breaks. Having him back reminded me of how much I missed him and didn't want to lose him again.
“Lex, can I come in?” Lindsey’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
“Yea” I called back, sitting up against my headboard as the door opened to show her petite body walk in.
She was wearing a tight pair of jeans and a tank top with her hair up. I thought she looked better with her up and her face natural, just like today. She sat down on the other side of the bed, crossing her feet in front of her.
“Can we talk about something?” She asked looking at me shyly as I nodded. “Are you still mad at me for hooking up with Harry a few days ago?”
“You can do what you want.” I picked up my book and started reading, I really didn't want to talk to her about it.
“Alex, come on. Just say it, I know you have something to say.” She wasn’t going to drop it.
“Do you want the truth ‘cause it’s pretty harsh?” She nodded. “Okay, you always seem to hook up with people that are important to me. You and I both know you can get with almost anyone but you always choose MY friends.”
“That’s why you're mad? You're jealous because I had sex with Harry and you didn't? Get over it Alex.” She rolled her eyes and went to stand.
“I’m not jealous, if I wanted to, I could have gotten with him but I chose not to. It’s a weird enough situation as it is, I don’t need you and your ‘relationship’ with Harry to complicate things.” I stood up and looked at her. “Go have sex with someone who isn't one of my friends!”
“I don’t ‘choose’ your friends, things just happen. Don’t feel so special, Lex.” She opened the door and walked out of the room.
I watched her walk into her room and slam the door while I walked back into my room. Her yelling and cussing was heard from my room which was even more annoying. I shook my head and closed my door before pacing my room. A faint knock pulled my from my angry thoughts and someone walked into my room slowly. I turned around to see Louis standing with his back against the door.
“Louis, can you do me a favor?” I asked in the nicest voice possible.
“Of course.” He smiled shyly.
“Can you please get me out of the house please? I seriously don’t want to be here right now.” I looked into his eyes and saw his face light up.
“Yea, let’s go.” He opened the door for us to leave.
“I’ll be right down, I need to change.” I looked down at my clothes and then at him.
“You're fine.” He grabbed my waist and pulled me toward the door.
“Dude, if I’m seen by the media in these shorts I’ll be called a whore.” My shorts were really shorts and my shirt didn't cover my stomach (like most of my other shirts, but them together wasn’t a good thing to wear in front of the press).
I didn't bother making him leave, he’s seen me naked before so I just found a pair of jeans and slipped them on after taking my shorts off. He was leaning against the doorframe when I looked at him again. I smiled and followed him downstairs.
“Sorry you had to hear our fight, it doesn’t usually get that bad.” I apologized while we sat in the parking lot of an abandoned toy store.
“It’s fine, I totally get it. We get in some pretty bad arguments too.” He shrugged turning to face me.
We’d been sitting there for almost 3 hours, talking just like old times. I was able to talk to him about everything while he could do the same to me.
“So… Alex… I have a super important question to ask you.” His voice was shaky which meant it was serious. “Ya know how we’re going back on tour?”
“Yea?”
“Well, uhm, do you want to, uhm, come with us?” His blue eyes looked at me, almost into my soul.
“What?! Are you serious?!” I was yelling.
“Yea, I don’t want to lose you again and the only way that I wont lose you is if you come with me. Please Alex? All the guys want you to come too.” He was begging and smiling.
“Can I think about it for a few days?” I knew that I wanted to go but if I left it would seem like I was only going because I was mad at Lindsey.
“Sure, but tomorrow Paul wants to get to know you incase you do come with us.” He seemed so happy, I think he knew that I wanted to go.
“Okay, is it okay if we go after I get home from work?” He nodded and looked down at his phone.
“I thought you were off tomorrow?” He seemed confused.
“I got called in, I work at 6:00 but they gave me Thursday off.” I groaned putting my feet up on the dash.
“Well, it’s almost midnight I should probably get you back.” He turned the engine on again.
“Thanks Lou.” I smiled at him and then looked up at the sky.
