Hey You're One Direction And I Sometimes Sing

Chapter 13:

Louis' POV:

The boys, Jessica, and I were now in the car on the way home. When we first got to the car, we realized that we took a car that only sat five. We weren't expecting the extra person. But I preferred it like this because Jessica ended up in my lap.

When I first sat in the car and only she and Harry were left outside of it, he was quick to push her in my lap. We both blushed furiously at the moment as you can tell. But I'm definitely not complaining. More like praising the lord and thanking him. I was that dramatic, but only in my head.

Jessica and I were sat on the right side of the car next to the window. She sat in my lap with her body facing away from the boys. Her head rested on my shoulder as she was asleep. I can't blame her, chaka dancing is harder than it looks.

Jessica's steady breath fanned across my neck making me shiver. She was slightly cuddled into my body with my arms wrapped securely around her waist. I smiled down at her and rested my head slightly against hers.

"Looks like someone's getting comfortable," Harry smirked. I rolled my eyes at him. "Leave them alone. They're so cute," Zayn gushed in a girly tone. "Look at how cuddled up she is into him," Niall teased. "Be quiet. You're going to wake her up," Liam, who was driving, scolded. "Not my fault they're so friggin' cute!" Zayn shouted purposely.

I glared at him but internally smiled because Jessica cuddled closer to my body. "Aww," the other boys, except for Liam, cooed. "Shut up," I told them. Harry rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say, lover boy," Niall smirked.

Ten minutes later full of teasing and scoldings to be quiet we arrived at Jessica's house. "Want to wake her?" Zayn asked and I shook my head. "No, I'll just carry her up," I told them. They gave each other knowing smirks and I laughed at their negative minds.

I opened the door and positioned my arms around Jessica, ready to carry her bridal style. I slowly stepped out the car and adjusted her in my arms. So far, so good. "I won't be surprised if he doesn't come back," I heard one of the boys tell the others as I walked away. I rolled my eyes and continued up to the front door.

Jessica's arms slithered around my neck as she clutched me tighter. "Lou?" she mumbled. "Shh, go back to sleep, love," I whispered. She sighed deeply before resuming a steady set of long, deep breaths. I reached the door and tried the knob. Luckily it was unlocked, but I was going to scold Jessica about that tomorrow.You don't know who could walk in. Maybe I should prank her.

I set my evil thoughts aside for later as I carried her through her living room to the hallway where her room was. Before heading inside, I couldn't help but look at the door at the end of the hallway. She never said what was in there and skipped it when she gave Zayn and I a tour.

I decided I'll just ask her about that tomorrow and pushed open her bedroom door. Her walls were a deep cream color accented with white furniture, including duvet. I slowly willed myself to lay her down in her bed and carefully took her hair out its tie and her shoes off. I pulled the covers over her body and she nestled in them.

"Goodnight, beautiful," I whispered and kissed her head. She shifted a little and sighed deeply. "Louis?" she questioned. 'Yes?" I hummed as I pushed her bangs back from her face. "Thank you," she mumbled. Her hands reached out and grabbed the back of my head and brought it near hers. My breath hitched in my throat, but her other hand took hold of my chin and turned my head to the side where she gave me a small kiss on the cheek.

I blushed and pulled away. "Er, goodnight," I told her. "Night, Lou," she yawned before cuddling into her covers some more. I sighed and quickly slipped out her room. I shut the door behind me and smiled. I was glad to have someone like her as a friend.
