The Player's Game [Louis T. AU]

Chapter 13

-Chelsea-

"My gosh. This thing weighs like five-hundred pounds" I say, straining my voice as I try to pick up my suitcase full of all the things Monica said I would need for our ski trip.

"Just get Louis to carry it for you" Monica said grinning

"No" I said, setting the suitcase down and letting out a small breath "I don't want him to think I am incapable of preforming a physical task. I am perfectly capable of doing it myself" 

Unfortunately, my suitcase that once had wheels-now does not. This task would be much easier to accomplish if this was not the case.

I grip my bag once again, lifting it in one swift motion. 

"Ok" I say softly "Let's get this to the bus before I put my back out" I half joke, following Monica down to the bus that the college was providing for the trip. I make it to the parking lot before I have to drop my bag, giving my back a rest. "Sweet Jesus" I say, bending over and placing my hands on my knees.

"Need some help?" I could almost hear the smirk in Louis voice

"No, no. I'm fine" I say, quickly straightening to the upright position, sweeping my hair out of my face

He raises an eyebrow, watching me as I struggle to carry the suitcase towards the bus

"No you're not" he laughed, grabbing my suitcase with ease, tossing it into the back of the bus.

"Thanks" I breathe, resting my hands on my hips

"Sit with me?" he says barely loud enough for me to hear

"What?" I ask

"Sit with me..on the bus?" Louis asks, directing his hands to the large white bus parked directly beside us

I tilt my head slightly, not answering his question. Monica playfully kicked me, pulling me out of whatever state I was in. 

"Uhm- yeah" I smile

His eyes lifted slightly as he cracked a small smile "Save me a seat. I'll be right back" He said, walking back towards the dorm facility

"Ooooh, get it" Monica laughed at mine and Louis interactions before walking onto the bus to find Derek

I let a smile occupy my lips as I climb on the bus, walking to the middle of the large vehicle and sitting down. The bus is loud with commotion. People walking back and forth in the isles, continuously changing seats. Before long, Louis treads down the tight isle, squeezing past the swarm of people who are occupying the path. He sits down and turns towards me, placing his face in his hands as he stares directly at me

...Do I have something in my teeth? Why is he looking at me like that?

"..What?" I ask, turning around to see if he was looking at someone outside of the bus window

"Nothing" He smirked, straightening in his seat

For some reason I was really looking forward to spend this time getting to know Louis..

-Louis-

"What about The Undertones? You have to have heard of them" I say, hoping Chelsea would recognize the name of this band

"Nope. Never heard of them" She shook her head once again

"You've got to be kidding me! The song Teenage Kicks? Ring a bell?" I ask, flabbergasted that she hadn't heard of them

"Nope. Sorry" she laughed 

"This is just sad" I shook my head head chuckling slightly

"Hey, we're pulling up to the resort" Derek said, reaching his hand around my seat to tap my shoulder.
