18. coachella day two

Ella stumbled down the marble steps, only in her underwear and one of Timmy's long shirts. She forgot there was anyone else in the house as she jogged to the kitchen to try and find something to calm her head.

"Morning" a voice spooked her, causing an almighty scream. She saw Lexie sat eating a bowl of cereal along with another bowl of cereal placed next to her, presumably for someone else.

"Don't scare me like that Lex" Ella complained, looking for pills and water.

"I was literally right in front of you" Lexie laughed but Ella wasn't finding anything funny at the moment. She found some painkillers and chugged them back with water. "Timmy posted something on your instagram last night" Lexie said, facing her cereal. Ella started to choke on her pills and had to drink the water in front of her quickly.

"What? He doesn't even know my phone password" Ella grabbed Lexie's phone off the table and searched up her own Instagram. It was blowing up.

"It wasn't anything romantic, it was just a picture of you two yesterday. He must've chosen the only one where you two aren't getting off" she laughed as Ella flicked through it to find the photo. When she did she relaxed a little, it was a photo of her and Timmy wearing bandanas over their faces. They were back to back and while Timmy was holding up a pretend gun with his hands, Ella was just laughing hysterically.

My partner in crime

"Are you okay with this?" Lexie couldn't read the expression on her face.

"What does it matter? Everyone probably already knows. No point trying to hide it now." Ella shrugged. Lexie couldn't help but feel sorry for Ella sometimes, she had no privacy and the little bit she could control was always temporary. "Can I have a bite of your cereal?" Lexie passed her cereal to her and she spooned herself some lucky charms. "Is that Matts?" She mentioned the other bowl.

"Uh, yeah" Lexie became very shy all of sudden which Ella loved. Hopefully Matt would treat her well.

"Cute" she smirked as she passed her cereal back. She walked around the island and kissed her on the head, she did truly value Lexie for keeping her sane when her whole world seemed insane sometimes. She was her person.

Ella ran up the stairs, full of painkillers and cereal, ready for the day ahead. When she walked back into her bedroom to see Timmy still passed out face down on the bed. Ella grabbed her phone from the bedside and took a photo of him. She turned her phone around to look at the Polaroid she had in her phone case, she really needed to frame it at home so she would never lose it.

Ella jumped onto the bed, bouncing up and down until Timmy woke up. He groaned loudly and rolled over, the sight of Ella standing over him, grinning down was a lot to take in. Ella knelt down when she saw his eyes open and grinned.

"Partners in crime are we?" She grit her teeth through her smile. Timmy was not equipped for this conversation, his mind was spinning.

"Sorry" his voice was raspy but Ella didn't care, it was sexy. Timmy suddenly remembered the conversation they had had the night before and shot up.

"Was that your answer? Have I totally fucked this up?" He worried, Ella was completely confused as to what he was talking about but then it hit her. She started to laugh and shake her head which calmed him down a little bit.

"Timmy T..." her voice became serious but Timmy just shoved her over which made her giggle. Timmy was not being given his answer while being called 'Timmy T'.

"You may address me as Timothée" he said with his best French accent. Ella bit her lip, he had never spoken French around her but his accent was flawless. Timmy sat up and got ready for her answer, they both secretly knew it but it was nice to have a big reveal.

"Okay. Timothée, ma résponse c'est oui" She replied, Timmy's eyes widened at her accent, it was just as fluent as his. He grabbed her face pulled her down on top of him, he let out a long sigh as he stared up at her.

"Long distance is going to be hard" he tucked her hair behind her ear so it didn't cover her face. The realisation of separating was hitting them both. Ella had to leave early the next day and then they would be apart for another week before Timmy could go to London.

"If we want it to work, we are going to have to make it work." Ella sat up, legs wrapped around either side of him. He sat up with her so he could be nearer to her and nodded.

"I want it to work" he whispered, afraid she might hear and run away. Ella ran her hand through his hair, and placed it on his cheek, Timmy's breath became stuttered with nerves.

"Okay" Ella grinned down at him, she gave him a soft kiss before hugging him tightly.

Everyone got ready for day two, everyone's last day since they had missed the Friday. Ella was wearing the same thing as the day before but in white instead. She had hair rings in her hair which was in the same style as before as well. She liked subtle changes and her outfit represented that.

She sat on the island, her girls around her while they waited for everyone else to get ready. Callie was trying to sort out a way so Ella wouldn't have a nip slip while Lexie and Mia talked about Matt. Ella listened to their conversation and couldn't help but pray that Matt was nice to Lexie. She deserved someone nice.

"I really like your outfit Callie, you have a real talent" Ella has always liked Callie, she was one of her favourite people at the office.

"Thanks Elle, I would say the same for you but that would be pretty narcissistic" she laughed, Ella grinned.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ella hopped off the table top since everyone else was busy talking or doing something and ran to open the door. The door revealed a very beautiful girl who was grinning madly at her.

"You must be Ella! Hi!" The girl hugged her tightly which made Ella extremely confused.

"Hey" Ella said awkwardly which made the girl laugh with embarrassment.

"Sorry, you have no idea who I am. I'm Pauline, Timothée's sister" she introduced herself with a handshake. Ella's eyes widened and she suddenly saw the resemblance.

"Oh my god! Yes, hi! I'm Ella Lawrence" she shook her hand vigorously. "Come in! Are you coming for the day?" Ella asked her as she guided her into the house.

"Yeah, I had to get Timmy to get me a ticket. They are so hard to get if your not a company or famous" She babbled to Ella. Timmy walked down the stairs and almost passed out when he saw his sister.

"Pauline" he stared at her, he moved his eyes from her to Ella and then back to her. He hugged his sister tightly but didn't take his eyes off Ella who was standing happily. "Uh Pauline, this is my girlfriend Ella" Timmy said the word girlfriend and Lexie choked on her water behind them. Ella's eyes widened even though she had agreed to it.

"Girlfriend! Oh my god!" Pauline freaked out like everyone else was inside. Timmy just stood there and looked at everyone else around the room who was just kind of watching it all go down.

"Yep." Ella laughed as Pauline hugged her again.

Once Pauline had hugged and said hello to everyone, Ella grabbed Timmy's hand and pulled him aside.

"Way to tell everyone T" She widened her eyes, he let out an awkward laugh and ran a hand through his hair.

"Yeah, sorry about that and sorry that you met my sister like this. I completely forgot that she was coming." he looked back at all their friends who had forgotten completely about what had just happened.

"it's okay, i would meet her anyway right? as your girlfriend" Saying the words was equally as weird for Timmy as it was for Ella.

"And i am yet to meet any of yours" He raised his eyebrows, Ella let out a sigh and grabbed his hand.

"Yes i know but they are all in London and you are not" She gave him a cheeky smile which meant he couldn't resist kissing her. He leant down to her lips, ready to kiss her.

"But i will be in a couple of weeks" he whispered and then kissed her softly.

"Okay, let's go to coachella" She grinned as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
