Chapter 9
The thing that occupies me the most is school. Most of the time I'm doing my homework, studying and checking my homework if I got any answers wrong, so now that I literally can't do anything I spend all day long studying or reading a book but since I have finished all of my books, I don't have anything else to do. I can't go buy books since I'm not allowed to go out, so the only thing left is studying. I have studied so much during this whole week that I already went into next class' subject.
"You need help!" Roxie states as she sits on our table and pushes Marcus' tray to make more space for hers. I told her about what happened at class. Usually I don't talk during class but since I already know what the teacher is teaching I decided to tell her about the last few days.
"I know!" I let out a long sigh and eat my mandarin. As much I love mandarins their smell is just way too strong.
"What happened?" Marcus asks and Roxie immediately fills him in with my recent events. Mary got my laptop back from my mom but the moment my dad found out he took it back for another week, thankfully, since I had reminded him I need it for homework or else it would of had never come back to me. I literally have nothing to do.
"Aren't you like, forbidden to talk to any of the Tomlinson's?" Marcus asks and I nod, a small smile forms in my face as I remember Louis, and the way he hugged me that other day at his garage, and when he kissed my cheek in my closet...
"Why are you smiling like that?" Roxie cuts my thinking train and I look up at her.
"What? Nothing, I was just-" she gasps loudly and covers her mouth as she looks at me with a shocked look. Marcus and I look at each other, not understanding what's going on and she removes her hands from her mouth, revealing a big grin.
"Finally!" She pretends to cry and wipe the tears with her napkin.
"What?" I look at her puzzled and she lets out a happy sigh, clutching the napkin close to her chest as she has this weird happy look on her face.
"You like a guy, you like Louis Tomlinson! Oh my god, this is so romantic! A forbidden love and your name is Juliet! Holy cow, this is perfection!" My eyes widen and so does Marcus' as we stare at her, thinking that she is crazy. I got no response to that.
"I knew it! I mean it's Louis Tomlinson! Who wouldn't fall for him? God, his eyes, they are so-"
"Roxie, what the heck?" I cut her off, not wanting to hear her nonsense. She tends to talk a lot about silly things.
"Don't deny it, Jul. The way you smiled when Marcus mentioned him, yeah, you got it hard!" She widely smiles and I scrunch up my nose, feeling my cheeks change their natural color to a dark red shade.
"Wh-what?" I awkwardly look down at my food and pick up another piece of my mandarin, not feeling like eating it anymore.
"It's okay, you can have him, I don't mind." She says and I look up at her with a mortified look on my face. Have him?
"Roxie, stop being an idiot and making a ridicule of yourself. Juliet does not have any feelings for Louis Tomlinson, she knows better than that. Her family won't allow such thing, right Julie?" Marcus kindly smiles at me and I awkwardly smile back at him, as I cover my face with my hair.
That will explain the weird feelings I always get whenever I am near him or think about him, even when his name is mentioned. I always thought it was food poisoning or hunger, it never occurred me the thought that it could be this, as in liking him, in that way. It makes total sense, because what are the odds I will get sick whenever he is around or mentioned.
Louis is... Louis. He is perfect in his own way and I like him the way he is. I love how playful and childish he can be, just as much as I love how sweet he is, and I find it so cute when he gets protective over me. His hugs are the best thing ever. I love the way his arms feel around me, so protective and warm, I wouldn't mind having him hug me for a whole day, forever. And those couple of times he had kissed my cheek, I felt like in cloud nine. I can't believe it but I do, I do like Louis.
"Yeah, I think she is right." I mumble and Marcus' eyes widen.
"Think? Babe, you know I'm right." Roxie smirks and I roll my eyes at her, but my cheeks don't stop burning. I have never felt this towards anyone. I like people, but I have never liked liked a person, in a romantic kind of way. But the irony. It had to be Louis the one I first like, the one I can't socialize in any sort of way and if I do I'm dead. I should consider reading Romeo and Juliet.
"This Friday you are coming with me to his place." Roxie says as she finishes her drink and I look at Marcus who is frowning.
"I don't think it's a good idea. Her dad will murder her!" Marcus shakes his head against the idea and I agree with him. He will make my punishment into a life time penalty. I can imagine myself being dressed in an orange suit, like the ones from jail and having a mugshot taken. My dad would do that to teach me a lesson.
But I did promise Louis I will go. I huff and cover my face with my hands. I don't want to miss his show like last time. This is the second time I promise I will go and I can't not go, but I can't go. My parents will find out. I heard them talk during dinner that they were planning on staying home this Friday, have a little break from work, so it makes it impossible for me to sneak out.
"My parents will be home." I uncover my face and she groans.
"Oh come on!" She hits the table and crosses her arms over her chest. "You parents can suc-" the bell cuts her off and she gets up angrily, leaving her tray at the table, not bothering to take it with her as she storms out of the cafeteria.
Marcus grabs her tray and takes it with him as we walk together. "Do you really like him?" He asks me as we throw away the leftovers and place the trays with the rest of them.
I scrunch up my nose as my cheeks start to change shade and I nod. "I'm happy for you. I bet he likes you too." He smiles at me and I shake my head.
"I hope not. It will be a disaster. My parents will never allow it. I can't do anything with this, I will just have to try and ignore the feeling." This thought saddens me and he gives me a reassuring smile.
"Everything will work out they way it should." He tells me and we bid our goodbyes before going on our different ways to class.

There are so many rooms in this house and none of them has anything interesting to do. My house is big but it has nothing fun in it. The moment I came back from school and ate dinner I wandered around the house, feeling like if I do anything related to school my brain will explode. By far I have discovered nothing new in the house. Five guests rooms, two offices, a soon to be library and our ball room where my parents throw boring parties.
We have our pool, but I don't feel like swimming, and it's a bit chilly to swim. At the end I decided to go the backyard and do the same thing I was doing inside, nothing. Although I take my slippers off and dip my feet into the chilly pool. Mary comes out, smiling, and I smile back but due my boredom it comes out weird.
"You are bored," she states and I nod.
"If I could at least listen to some music! I groan and she chuckles before taking something out of her pocket.
"As much as how elegant that music you parents make you listen is I would rather for you to listen to some different music. Louis dropped this for you while you were at school and I must say, the music is not that bad." She hands me an IPod nano with headphones and winks at me before leaving back into inside the house.
My eyes widen and I turn it on, putting on the headphones. I go into the music library and press shuffle since I don't know any of the songs so I don't have any that I want to listen to precisely. A guitar plays at first and I happily smile as I lay my back against the grass, closing my eyes and drifting away from this world, only having Louis and his music in my mind.
I don't know how many songs I have listened too and what time is it, but I do know my feet are freezing and probably are wrinkled as an elder's skin. I open my eyes and my eyes widen when I see that it's already getting dark. I check the time on the iPod and it says seven. I don't remember falling asleep, maybe I was meditating without knowing it.
I get up and hug myself, feeling the cold air hit my bare arms. I go back inside and pass by the living room, seeing my mom sitting on the sofa, reading some book. "Hey mom," I greet her and she looks up from her book.
"You are not allowed to use the pool." She tells me and I hold the urge to groan. I wasn't even using it, my feet were the only part of me that were inside. "Yeah, I won't use it next time." I tell her and she nods.
"Mary made some tea if you want some." She goes back to reading her book and I head to the kitchen. Mary is not here, which means she left early to her house.
I serve myself some tea and take a couple of cookies with me to my room. I open the door of my room and the cookie I had in between my teeth falls as I see two intruders inside my room, casually talking as they sit on my bed and desk.
"Oh look, she finally woke up!" Roxie makes a noise with her tongue and shakes her head at me disapprovingly.
"You know how long we have been waiting for you?" Louis asks and I keep looking at them with my eyes wide open as my jaw is almost reaching the floor.
"What are you doing here? My mom is right downstairs!" I close my door and place my teacup and plate with cookies on my desk. Louis pulls my arm, making me sit on his lap. My cheeks instantly burn and I catch Roxie smirking towards me. Confessing what I feel towards him to myself didn't really help with the situation since it only makes it stronger.
"Uh, you need to stop doing that!" I tell them and get up from Louis' lap, feeling uncomfortable and awkward. But I did like it.
"Doing what?" Louis innocently asks and I groan.
"My parents can catch you! Louis you need to stop sneaking into my room, it won't end up good for neither of us." I tell him and hand him his iPod.
"Thank you for loaning it to me, I really needed it." I tell him smiling and he frowns. "It's a gift, I won't let you give it back so don't even try." He hands it back to me and I thank him once again, blushing furiously.
"Okay, love birds, we need to discuss something serious." Roxie rubs her hands together and I lean myself against the desk. "You can sit on my lap." Louis whispers and I kick his shin, shutting him.
"Your parents are ridiculous, especially your dad, so I made a plan-"
"You made it?" Louis scoffs and she rolls her eyes.
"Louis helped a bit. Anyways, my parents are inviting your parents over this Friday night to have dinner and all that boring stuff they do. Louis and I will sneak you out and Mary will text me if your parents arrive home." Roxie smiles proudly and I shake my head, finding a huge problem with her plan.
"The dinner will last an hour and a half, and Mary texting you they arrived is not helpful since I will need to run home and by the time I get here my mom or dad will already notice I'm not home." I sigh and grab a cookie from my plate.
"But-" I shake my head, stopping her, and she sighs.
"If you already know the dinner will last that long then why don't you stay for an hour and then leave?" Louis asks and I swallow my cookie, thinking that might be a good idea.
"But what if they decide not to go? We need to keep that in mind." I tell them and suddenly a pillow is thrown at me. I gasp and Louis chuckle as I glare at Roxie.
"You are such a pessimist!" She huffs and I shrug. "I'm just saying, we need to think about every single possible thing that could happen." I grab another cookie but then instead of a cookie I feel a soft hand. I look down at the plate and I see Louis' hand. I awkwardly let go of his hand and he chuckles.
"She is right, her parents can decide to not go and have some fun of their own." Louis wiggles his eyebrows and I grimace.
"Thats disgusting!" I hit his shoulder and he laughs along with Roxie. "You are a sick person!" I tell him and he winks at me.
"If they are home then I guess I won't go." I change the subject back and Roxie frowns. Louis lets out a long sigh of frustration but then a small smile plays on his lips.
"Then I will come over, I will cancel this Friday's party." He says and Roxie and I look at him with a surprised look.
"What?" We both say at the same time.
"My parents will like that and I will take a break." He raises from the desk chair and leans against the desk next to me. My eyebrows raise when I feel Louis fingers play with mine. I look down, hiding my red cheek and I let out a small whimper when I feel him intertwine our fingers together.
"But you always throw parties! Every Friday night! And you preform..." Roxie is too busy worrying about not being a party to notice that Louis is not even paying attention to her, but he is gently playing with my fingers as he has his laced with mine. I peak at him and see him smiling as he looks down at our hands.
"I know this Ben guy that throws good parties, he lives close to your house." He looks up at her, but keeps holding my hand as his thumb softly caresses my hand. I want him to stop because my mind and heart are going crazy at the moment, but it feels so nice I don't want him to stop.
"Ben? He is my neighbor. He doesn't throw parties all the time." She says and Louis shrugs. "He will throw one this Friday." A phone starts ringing and Roxie and Louis both check their phones. It seems to be Louis' so Roxie throws her on my bed.
"Hey mom," he says and Roxie grins.
"Mommy! He is a mama's boy." Roxie laughs and I chuckle. She can be such an idiot.
"Hey, pass me the weed!" Roxie yells and my eyes widen. My mom can hear her. "Roxie!" I scowl at her and she giggles.
"Come back to bed, baby!" I roll my eyes at her and she smirks as she seems to notice something. My eyes go to where she is looking at and notice it's our hand, Louis' and mine. She won't stop talking about this from now on. She makes a shape of heart with her fingers and I roll my eyes at her.
"Okay, I'll be home in a bit. Bye mom, love you." He hangs up and picks up the pillow Roxie had thrown at me before. He throws back at her, hitting her face, and I laugh.
"I need to go, I will see you on Friday." He kisses my cheek and walks over to the window, leaving me surprised m. See you on Friday?
"Are you coming?" Louis asks Roxie and she shakes her head.
"I'll stay for a bit mire." She says and I hold the urge to groan. She is going to go all Sherlock Holmes on me now.
"I'm not allowed to have anyone at home and-"
"Ten minutes, that's all." She grins and waves goodbye at Louis. Louis smiles at us before climbing down my window. Oh no.
"So, holding hands, huh? And the kiss? Nice." She pats the spot next to her on my bed and I let out a groan as I go sit there.
"I like him, yes, but we are just friends." I sigh and she shakes her head. "No, he likes you, it's obvious." She widely smiles and I disagree with her as I remember what his bandmate said a couple of days ago when I was at his garage.
"His friend said something about a girl and Louis. I think he likes someone else." I lay my upper body on my bed, my feet dangling on the air.
"Huh? What do you mean?" She asks.
"I mean, his friend hinted about Louis being with some other girl." I play with the end of my shirt and she frowns at me.
"I will ask him if he is seeing anyone later, and if he is I will punch him for messing with you." She glares and I chuckle as I shake my head.
"He is not messing with me, he is just a friend of mine like he is to you." I tell her, feeling disappointed. I wish it was different.
She laughs and I look at her confused. "You are so innocent and stupid, it's cute." She pinches my cheeks and I slap her hands away from my face. "He doesn't hold my hand nor kisses me, nor hugs me or even pulls me onto his lap. I wish, but he doesn't. He either likes you or he is fucking arse!" She says and my eyes widen.
"Language!" I slap her leg and she rolls her eyes.
"I will find out what that hot bastard wants from you."
