Hired for Liam ✔

Chapter 28

Lauren's POV

I had no clue what to do with myself, nor my emotions after Zayn left. I had sat staring at the door, anticipating Zayn's return for twenty minutes, and obviously he didn't plan on coming back anytime soon.

I was too nervous and confused to go back to the hotel room with Liam, because I didn't want to say anything I would regret. I was way too flustered to have a conversation with him at this point. I have a really bad habit of blurting out random shit. Its a natural reflex I've been trying to get rid of since forever.

But sitting here alone, I was slowly going absolutely fucking crazy. I hated being alone, I always have since I was a little kid. Pretty ironic considering I push every good thing in my life away. So instead of losing my absolute shit sitting in Zayn's hotel room all by myself, I went in search of Louis. Yes Louis. He was the only one out of all the boys that has had a serious girlfriend for a while, and I thought maybe if he cropped his sass for a few minutes I could talk to him.

I slowly ringed my hands through my hair to detangle it a bit, and left Zayn's hotel room door cracked so I could come back inside. I headed straight across the hall, and tapped gently on the door.

"Who the fuck is it?" I heard Ashton's voice from the other side. I internally rolled my eyes.

"Its Lauren. Let me in." I impatientlg tapped my foot, and in a matter of seconds Ashton was opening the door. I was guessing that Niall, Louis, and Ashton shared a room. Then Zayn and Michael shared one, but Mikey almost always sleeped in Calum's room with Harry and Luke.

I allowed myself inside, narrowing my eyes as I looked around their messy room. I hated mess. That's why I'm glad Liam was very tidy, or I would go bat shit crazy.

"Hey Laur." Niall and Lou say at the same time. They were engaged in a game of FIFA, and I could already see Ni was winning, and Louis was pissed about it.

"You suck." Niall mused, rapidly pushing buttons on the controller.

"Fuck off." Louis snapped, before pausing the game and looking up at me.

"What can I do for you love?" I sat down next to him on the bed, and crossed my legs.

"I need advice." I admitted and immediately heard Ash bubble with laughter.

"Louis for advice? Have you gone mental?" Ash breathes out. Louis throws a pillow at him, and it smacks him in the chest.

"Shut up would you." Louis huffs, rolling his eyes. He turns to look at me, crossing his legs.

"Whats going on Laur?"

"I'm in love with Liam." I rushed the words out.  I literally expected them to flip the fuck out. But when I looked at the three of them, they had a blank look on their faces, like I had grown a second head.

"What?"

"Its pretty obvious." Niall shrugs, taking a spot next to Lou. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Well, to us anyway. Liam is a bit oblivious." Louis smacked Niall harshly on the back of the head.

"What? I was just saying." He mumbled, rubbing his head.

"Explain. One of you." I crossed my arms over my chest, glaring at all of them.

"We just talked to him about the same thing." Ashton admitted. My green eyes widened.

"You bloody idiot!" Louis shouted at Ash, murdering him with his crystal eyes.

"You weren't supposed to tell her!" Ashton put his hands up in mock defense, and slowly backed away a little bit.

An unfightable smile fought its way onto my face as I looked at all of them. I was beyond fucking ecstatic that Liam felt the same about me.

"He really does-" Niall is abruptly cut off by the sound of something hitting the wall from the room over.

"Fuck you!" A distinct british voice screamed seconds later. My gaze locked with the three boys as we all scrambled for the door at the same time when we realized the room next to this one was mine and Liam's. And that voice, was Zayn's.
