I Love You ~ Louis Tomlinson

Little Lady

"Can we get a picture together? In this spot?" Louis asks before they take their trip back to the bus. 

"I'd love that. So so much," Natalie smiles at him. 

They stand under the arch and take a few photos, one looking straight on and smiling, one kissing his cheek to which he turns his face and kisses her while snapping another photo. And then she jumps on his back and he starts to walk them back to their temporary home. 

She doesn't let him carry her for very long, instead holding onto his arm and leaning into his side. 

"How does a nap sound when we get back?" She yawns. 

"Well getting up this early was your big idea ya know," he teases. "But thank you, I loved this and I love you." He smiles, leaning in to kiss her happily. 

"I love you too," she says and stops to kiss him again. She knows they're on a tight schedule though, so they keep walking a little, Louis bumping into her hip to tell her he loves her again. "We're so going to wear that out aren't we?" 

"Just might," he shrugs, "But I'm okay with it." 

"Yeah me too," she tells him and a few minutes later they're back at the bus.

"Just in time," their driver, Steve, tells the two of them. "Thank you for keeping on schedule little lady." 

"Of course! Thank you very much for letting us stop Steve, I really appreciate it," she says, leaning up to kiss his cheek. 

They step onto the bus, but Louis stops her, turning her around by the waist and picking her up in one motion so she's up on the countertop. She smirks and wraps her legs around his hips, pulling him closer to her. 

"That was a nice move, you should know the ladies really like stuff like that," she says, leaning in to whisper into his ear and press kisses from there to his jaw and finally his lips. 

"Well, hate to break to you, I'm not interested in other women." He shrugs and leans in quickly to press a kiss to her neck, making her giggle. "Only interested in you little lady."

She chuckles and leans her head back against the cabinet, peering down at him over her nose. "I knew you'd like that one." 

He nods, "Since when are you best buds with Steve?" 

"Jealous?" She teases and he flushes. 

"No, just asking," he says and now he's pouting and she can't have that so early in the morning. He deserves to have only the best days. 

She knocks under his nose gently with hers so he'll look at her. "I love you," she whispers against his lips. 

He won't let her kiss him until he replies, "I love you." 

"Gets boring a bit when I'm waiting for you guys to come back," she shrugs, "So I talk to Steve sometimes. He's very nice and he taught me some new card games. I think he's just happy to have someone to talk to in the down time."

Louis smiles kindly at her and kisses her some more. "You're very sweet my love. I'm so lucky to have you." 

"Lou," she whines and tries to hide her blush in his shoulder. 

"It's true," he says, kissing the side of her head a few times. "Very lucky."

She just hold him tighter in response, whispering a quiet thank you as he strokes her hair gently. 

"Come on sweet girl," he says lifting her off the cabinet and carrying her, "Lets go back to sleep yeah?"

He puts her down on the bed gently, taking off her shoes and then his own. She doesn't give him a second before pulling him down on top of her. 

"I love you Louis, so so much," she tells him as she moves his fringe back from his forehead. 

"I love you too," he whispers and kisses all over her face and once on her lips. "Rest now, I'll be here when you wake up baby." 

And so she does. She curls up into Louis' side and falls asleep right after she places a kiss to his chest. His love has made her warm inside, it's cozy and safe and she couldn't be happier. 

Louis is true to his word and he's there when she wakes up. He's sitting cross legged with his tongue peeking out of his lips and from her limited view it looks like he's trying to braid her hair. She shifts to pillow her cheek on her forearms and continues to watch him. 

She knows they have a little bit of time since the boys don't have a show tonight. They've made it to Vancouver which Natalie is very excited about, she's not been out of America much. 

"I've forgotten how to do this well," he says quietly. He knows she can get bit overwhelmed when she first wakes up so he always tries to be pretty quiet. "I got a little bored while you were sleeping so I thought I'd brush up on it- hey I didn't even mean that pun!" 

She smiles lazily at him, "And how's it going?"

"Well babe I'll be honest," he says, dropping her hair and leaning back on his hands, "Not great, but you still look gorgeous." 

"You're too kind," she murmurs. 

"You're too pretty," he says, laying down on his stomach next to her, mirroring her pose. 

"No, that's you," she says and leans forward to kiss Louis' nose. 

"You're both gorgeous," they hear Zayn's voice drone from outside their bunk. "Come on Lou we're going to be late for rehearsals." 

Louis sighs, but gets up and Natalie watches him while he gets ready. 

"I can't believe I'll have the night off later on the one night you're busy," Louis says sadly once he's just about ready to leave. He's procrastinating putting on his shoes. 

"I know," she pouts, sitting up on the edge of the bed and opening her arms for him. He comes easily, "If I could get out of this meeting I would."

"I bet," he laughs and pulls back a bit to look at her, "Can't believe you have to have an entire meeting about rubber bracelets."

"You and me both babe," she says shaking her head and then she lets him go. "See you tonight, if I don't fall asleep from boredom. You might have to come pick me up from the meeting and carry me home."  

He kisses her goodbye and then searches for a pair of shoes. He chuckles "Sure, just give me a call if you need me, but try and have a good meeting and I'll see you when get home. Love you." He calls from the front of the bus. 

She smiles so big it hurts, "Love you too."
