•·.·' LYDIA '·.·•

I sat there bored out of my mind while Helen and the boys talked about something my little brain wasn't able to comprehend. I swung my legs back and forth from the table I was sitting on, I'd already gotten bored of the football Louis had given me out of sympathy when he saw me standing like a deer in headlights near his make up chair. 


I kicked it at the wall a few times, I actually took footie classes in school but with no one around to play with me it got boring real quick. 

So now I was sitting perched up on a really high chair, with Niall's name on the back. My head rested on the armrest on my folded arms. I hummed mindlessly, sighing loudly. 


When I looked up after a while, my eyes locked with a pair of green ones. Harry was looking directly at me, suddenly breaking out into a funny face which made me giggle as I covered my mouth. He smiled cheekily, proud of his work. 


The boys were quick to catch on as each of them continued the process whenever Helen wasn't looking at them. it got harder to hold back her giggles each time they pulled a face.


"And-Zayn !" Helen exclaimed, catching him red handed in the midst of making her laugh. It caused Lydia to cackle loudly, tilting her head back as she squinted her eyes. 

"And Lydia !" Helen's voice sounded annoyed as the little girl looked at her with a pout. 

"Oh come on Helen, she looked miserable sitting there all alone" Louis chipped in while the others nodded. 

She pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing in defeat. She motioned her over to sit between Niall and Louis. She happily skipped over as they scooted a little to make space for Lydia. 

Louis effortlessly helping her up on the couch between them. Her curious eyes looked over his tattoos in amazement. He seemed like he didn't mind much when she started drawing over them with her little fingers. 


Helen watched for a moment with a smile before she continued telling the boys about the tour. At the mention of the tour, Lydia's ears perked up slightly.

"This time, Derek isn't here to accompany you, so I'm coming with you" She said, "And Lydia too" She added which made Lydia jump up a little in her seat. 

The boys chuckled softly. "Well it'll be fun to go around the tour bus with her eh ?" Liam added. 

"No No no ! She's-" Harry was quick to cut her off with a pleading look and an excruciatingly long drawn please. The other boys following after.

"Jesus fine" Helen finally sighed as Harry winked at lydia who seemed over the moon about this news. 

A few more minutes passed and they were in their conversation again, Lydia now sitting fully in Louis's lap. He had his arm around her as she continued tracing his tattoos curiously. His other hand mindlessly ran through her chocolate brown hair, which started making her fairly drowsy. 


•·.·' LOUIS '·.·•


I was listening to whatever Helen was saying intently when I felt the weight on my lap shift and dip to my chest. I looked down and smiled softly as I saw Lydia drifting off to a comfortable slumber against my chest. 


I tightened my arm around her so that she didn't trip over in her sleep while I kept my hand in her hair as it seemed to lull her to sleep. She smiled, looking up at me with lidded eyes.


"I like you Louis" she mumbles sleepily, and if my attention wasn't fully on her I might've actually missed what she said. I smiled widely and rubbed her back. 


Not long after all the heads turned to us when she started snoring softly, still leaning herself on me. 


"Well would you look at that. It takes me an hour to get her to sleep, and there she is now" Helen chuckled and so did everyone else.


"Seems like she's taking a liking to you LeWiS" Niall teased as I rolled my eyes at him.


"Good for me she's asleep on time for once." Helen smiles, placing her small lavender blanket as she instantly tugged it closer. 


"Are you guys sure you want her on the bus all by herself and mainly all by yourselves ? I mean its not even been a full day since you met her." Helen says humming in thought. 


"Well she already has a soft spot for Louis" Liam says as I nod, "And clearly she loves laughing along with Niall. I'm sure we'll get to know her just fine until the day we leave" He says and Helen nods.


"Just don't make me regret this" Helen adds playfully. 


"No promises" Zayn adds and Harry crosses his fingers over his heart.


All the while my eyes remained glued to the toddler in my arms, and how cute she looked sleeping. her hair a mess, as her bottom lip stuck out like a small pout. 


This was going to be fun.
