In Tears [h.s]

6. Small Talk

I woke the next morning to the incredibly annoying screech of the child in the next room. "can they shut the fuck up?" Harry said, throwing his pillow across the room.

"how long have they been screaming?" I asked, my eyes adjusting to the bright room

"2 fucking hours," he groaned, "people are trying to sleep,".

"not a morning person?" I asked.

"fuck you," he said.

I got up and looked for something wear today. I decided to wear my black denim shorts and a plain black tee with my flipflops and sunglasses. I picked up my phone, key-card and wallet from the TV stand. "I'll be back," I said.

"wait, give me your number," he said, "in case we need you,". I wrote my number on a piece of paper before I left the room. I walked down the corridor, the child's screech getting quieter as I reached the elevator lobby. I pressed the button and waited for one of the doors to open. The door opened, and I got in, pressing the button for the ground floor. "wait!" a voice called. Louis ran into the elevator.

"did you sprint?" I asked.

"yes," he panted, "I missed it from my floor, so I ran down the stairs to catch it,".

"why didn't you just take the stairs?" I asked.

"because I'm lazy," he said, "and who wants to do exercise at 8am?" he asked.

"many athletes," I said. I pulled out my phone and looked at my messages.

"crazy boyfriend?" he asked, looking over my shoulder.

"a close acquaintance," I said.

"so, a friend?" he asked.

"no, an acquaintance," I said, "we ain't friends,".

"but he's on your lock screen?" he said, "with the other dude,".

"again, they're acquaintances," I said, "that I'm close with,".

"fine, whatever," he said, "so what type of music do you normally listen to?".

"like alternative pop, with a bit of rock," I said.

"What rock bands are you into?" he asked.

"Nirvana, Queen, Arctic Monkeys," I said, "that kind of thing,".

"what's your favourite Queen song?" He asked.

"Another One Bites the Dust," I said, "or Radio Gaga,".

"Radio Gaga is iconic," he said.

"oh, but We Will Rock You," I said, "now that's iconic,".

"I Want to Break Free is the most iconic queen song though," he said, "you ever seen them live?".

"no," I said, "I was born in '93, Freddie had died by then,"

"ah, I see," he said.

"it must be great to have a crowd of people singing your songs back to you though," I said.

"oh yeah," he said, "the best feeling in the world,".

"who's the lead singer?" I asked.

"I am," he boasted, "Harry's the bassist, Zayn's on rhythm, Liam's on drums and Niall's the main guitarist. I thought you'd know all this from that file you had yesterday,".

"I didn't read it," I said, "what's the best part of tour?".

"playing our songs for the fans," he said, "it brings me so much joy,".
