"lou", do i really have to go?" you ask. your sister and lou teasdale have been great friends, immediately clicking it off in middle school. the both of them never lost contact and you were glad that they didn't because you considered her as an older sister and you knew that she treated you like her younger sister.
"of course you do! your parents entrusted you to me and i have to keep my promise that i will look over for the night." she chuckles. you roll your eyes. you were twenty for christ's sake and the last thing you needed was a baby sitter. your parents have always been strict, not allowing you to date till you finish your studies. sure, you had a few short-term relationships here and there. it was all part of growing up but even so, you didn't let your parents know about them.
lou sensed your annoyance. she felt sorry for you, not experiencing the things that kids in your age should. you should be out, getting wasted and experiencing youth but you were stuck with her. "tell you what, you don't have to come to the backstage with me. i'll let you stay in my hotel room and you can order room service or pizza. my treat." she says.
"will lux be there with me?" you ask, talking about lou's adorable little girl.
"sure. i needed someone to take care of lux anyway. she's been losing sleep layely because if the loudness in concerts." she replies. poor girl.
"where is she anyway?" you ask. you were outside with lou, eating breakfast a block away from their hotel and it was so unusual for lux not to be joined in her hip.
"she spent the night with harry. said its been a while since he last saw the little girl,"
harry styles. out of all the members of the boy band, the person you still haven't met yet is harry. lou speaks of the young kad fondly, telling stories about how funny and gentlemanly he is. you've met everybody twice, in end-of-tour parties in one of their fancy houses (with your sister by your side and your parents' permission, of course.) still, harry would always arrive late and you'll always leave early, not really caring for the party itself. you were just there to support lou, anyway.
"oh, what time will you leave for the arena?" you ask.
"noon-time. which reminds me, we should get going!" she exclaims, wiping off the crumbs of the sandwich she just finished. you nodded drank the last of your hot cocoa. the two of you walk side by side to the hotel. "have you ket harry before?" she asks. you shake your head no and explain what happens during the parties.
"ah, well that's such a shame! you will absolutely love him, i promise," you nod, not really caring that you were about to meet the harry styles—your personal favourite from the band. you were excited to see lux.
you arrive at the hotel, finally. you were so excited to see lux. "hey, why don't you go ahead and take lux from harry? his room is 1723 and take her to my room, 1735. i'll just go get ready and take a shower." she says. you nod and tread your way to 1723.
you knock once you arrive, not noticing the doorbell right beside the door.
"stay there, luxy! i'll just see who's at the door." you hear from the outside. you blush, anxious to finally meet harry. you hear shuffling as you anticipate the door to open.
"hey, i'm here to get lu—"
"uh, who are you?" he asks, a little rudely. you frown but immediately get over it. he doesn't know you and was probably just looking out for lux.
"name is (y/n) and i'm here to take lux...lou told me that she spent the night with you." you told him.
"uncle harry!" you hear lux from the inside. you smile at her cute little voice. "who's there?" you hear her ask as her head poked from the door. you watch her face light up.
