Baker Girl <Louis Tomlinson>

SEVENTEEN

Edited.

I woke up and felt a presence beside me, I sat bolt upright, then sighed, remembering where i was. I laid back down again and I looked at Louis who was fast asleep. I climbed out of bed, carefully. I checked my phone and it was 6am. Why am i awake so early. I clambered to the bathroom, taking my bag with me and carefully got in the shower. I remembered that it had only been a week since my operation and it was still slightly uncomfortable but no pain. I sighed as the hot water poured off my body. I began too sing Man in the mirror by Michael Jackson and I don't even know why that song was in my head, especially at that time of the day. I climbed out of the shower, wrapping my hair in a towel and my body in a towel too. I sat on the toilet seat on twitter as i couldn't go in the room because of Louis. I sent out a tweet.

@Lilsthebaker: @Louis_Tomlinson fast asleep. i'm wide awake. boreeeeed. :( wakey wakey donut.

I finished on twitter and I put my phone on the side before getting dressed. I dressed in some high waisted skinny jeans, making sure it didn't catch my wound. Louis' shirt that i kindly borrowed from him and I shoved my hair up in a bun, still wet. I brushed my teeth and splashed my face with water. I walked out of the bathroom, heading towards Louis who was still sleeping. I carefully placed my bag on floor and wrote Louis a note.

"Sorry i wasn't here when you woke,
i had showered and you were still asleep.
I've gone for a stroll. I'm okay and I have my phone if you need me.
I love you, sleeping beauty.
xxxxxxxxxxx"

I placed the note next to his head and quietly walked out of the room. I shoved my phone in my pocket and made my way out of the hotel. It was only 7am and it was still pretty dead which I was happy about. I took a stroll around the awakening city and I was walking along the sidewalk when two girls walked up to me in uniform.

"Your Liliane Matthews aren't you?" There faces lit up and i couldn't help but smile at them both.

"I am. Whats your name girls?" I said as I smiled warmly at them both.

"Joan and Michelle!" They smiled and I couldn't help but giggle at them both. "Can we have a photo with you?"

"Sure!" I stood in the middle of them both before they took there phones out and snapped a selfie of us.

"Are you okay now?" One of them asked.

"I'm much better, thank you for asking!" i smiled. "I better get going, have a good day girls!"

I said as i walked off, giving them a small wave and I heard them squealing. This made me smile because I'd just made someones day. I carried on walking and I finally arrived outside my bakery. I unlocked the door, turning on the coffee machine, placing some muffins in the oven and some in the display cabinets. I shouldn't be working but i wanted to and it wasn't the same without being at work. I missed it and I couldn't have Louis moddle coddle me all the time. I flipped the sign to open and I sat behind the counter waiting for the customers to come in.

A few had come in, i walked out the back and pulled the cup cakes out of the oven putting them on a wire rack for them too cool.

"Anybody there?" I heard somebody from the front shout.

"Coming!" I shouted back. I walked through the back to be greeted by Simon Cowell. Yes the Simon Cowell.

"Holy mother of god. What can i get you sir?" I said as i stepped in front of him, giving him a smile but i probably looked more like a deer caught in headlights.

"It's you i've come too see actually." I cocked my eyebrow up at him.

"Me, what for?" I said fiddling with my hands out of nervousness.

"You're very talented, 5 boys told me about you and I think you'd go far." I laughed, nervously.

"No no. I can't do that. My lifes in baking. I'm sorry, Mr Cowell." I sighed and walked out the back not evening wishing him a good day.

Why the fuck did they do that? I just have about enough confidence in serving customers, let along singing in front of people. Why have they done this to me? I'm perfectly happy the way i am. I slid my back down the wall and sat on the floor, holding my head in my hands.

"Are you okay Lil?" I heard Lena speak and I looked up to see she was crouched down in front of me.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Simon Cowell just offered me a contract. I turned him down, them damned boys told him. Mother fuckers!" I was getting angry. My side began too hurt.

"It's okay. You do what you want to do, okay?" she said, giving me a small smile.

"Could you cover for me?" I asked, returning her smile.

"Being as you're meant to be on bed rest, i think that's completely fine." she held her hand out and helped me up off the floor.

"Do not tell Louis i've been here, either!" I walked out of the kitchen, grabbing my coat and walking out of the door. Shaking my head, holding my side, this damned cut was getting uncomfortable again. I pulled my phone out and rang Perrie.

"HEY LIL!" She beamed.

"Uh hey, are you still at mine?" I sighed.

"Nah. Everything okay?"

"Okay, thanks. Fine, gotta go bye." i hung up before she could answer and headed back home.

Louis

I woke up to an empty bed but a note under my face, I read it at smiled to myself. I texted Liliane, but soon realised something must be up when she never replied. I sighed and got ready for the day. Still no reply, I made my way down stairs and I heard Zayn calling me.

"Hey dude, Perrie heard from Lil, she seemed pretty flustered." I nodded and ran out of the hotel. I had to find her and I walked along the sidewalk when i came to her bakery. I walked in and asked Lena if she'd seen her, she had said no, but i didn't believe her. I didn't know where too look. I sighed and I'd been stopped a few times by crazy fans. I realised i hadn't looked in one place, her home. I face palmed my head and sprinted too her house.

I knocked and knocked, but I got no answer.

Liliane

I got home and Molly had been fed as she had food in her bowl. I gave her a quick cuddle and made my way too the roof where I used to come here to think. I would lay on a blanket looking at the sky. Today it was fairly hot, so I slid my sunglasses on and laid down. I pressed play on my ipod and stuffed my earphones in my ears., ignoring the world.

I must have drifted off to sleep because when i woke the sun was going down and it looked beautiful. I walked to the edge looking down andI saw a figure walking away from my apartment when I realised it was Louis.

"LOUIS!" I screamed and smiled over the side. He spun round trying to find where the screaming was coming from. "UP HERE!"

He looked up a smile spreading across his face and he began to walk up to the apartment. He took the fire escape steps up to the roof and the door finally swung open and Louis bounded towards me and hugging me, tight.

"I thought i'd lost you." He mumbled.

"You'd never lose me." I smiled at him.

"I couldn't find you anywhere, I've been here since 11am this morning. It's now 7pm." He sighed.

"I'm sorry!" I said as i pecked him on the lips, rubbing my thumb over the creased lines across his forehead.

"It's alright." He mumbled quietly as his eyes fluttered shut at my touch.

"I fell asleep up here, I had stuff to think about." He looked at me cautiously.

"What stuff?" He asked and I new I had to tell him.

"That's what i need to talk about with you actually." I said as I pulled him towards the door.
