Smoke and Mirrors

Chapter seven

Louis's POV

The morning light gleams in from the floor to ceiling windows in our room. It stirs me awake feeling the warm sun on my face. I peek my eyes open to see the clock on the night stand says 8.45am.

I lean forward and kiss Harry on his shoulder, our bodies still intertwined from last night. God he's so beautiful as I look down at him. Harry grabs my hand, he lifts it up to his mouth and kisses my knuckles, he then stretches to wake up.

Today is going to be a hard day for us, we know what's in store after Toms outburst yesterday, we're being punished after Harry's tweet, yet we have to look happy for the music video.

Harry and I wrote the song together, will our fans who believe in our relationship read between the lines, we wrote it from the heart. It's also true we do love to have secret little rendezvous and midnight drives with the windows down.

I can hear a lot of noise coming from outside our room, this means the producers and crew are setting up for the day. They actually closed off the whole floor to other guests to shoot and we don't  have much time to complete. It  has to be all done today, no pressure, our tour starts soon.

Harry turns round and snuggles into me. "I don't want to get up and face the day" he murmurs into my neck. "I know love but it will be ok, we will get through it and come back later and cuddle up" I say while stroking his hair to add some comfort. I kiss him on the lips, get up and head to the bathroom, "I'll shower first, you take longer than me" I tell Harry,  he just nods.

After my shower I walk back into the room and see Harry still lying in bed, his back to me facing the window. I rip back the sheets and smack his ass "Get up lazy" I chuckled. He immediately leaps with fright, runs towards me and pulls me to into him, he plants a big sloppy kiss on my lips. My eyes crinkle in laughter, I can't help but kiss him back.

Harry walks towards the bathroom to get ready, I walk over to make my morning coffee and have a cigarette. I love the peace and quiet in the mornings. I like to sit and gather my thoughts, I enjoy every moment I get with Harry. Mornings and late evenings is our time. My lips curl into a smile thinking about him and what our life will be like in the future.

I hear my phone ringing from the nightstand, I put my cigarette out in the ashtray and walk over and answer it. I tut to myself as per usual it's Tom. "Hello" I say.

"Louis, get yourself down to the catering room for breakfast. We are having our morning run down in five minutes, its room 601" Tom demands. "Ok, we just need to get dressed and we will be down" I say quickly while going through my suitcases for something comfy to wear.

Harry walks out of the bathroom looking a sight with a towel on his head and another around his waist. "Hurry we only have five minutes to get dressed and be down for breakfast" I say to Harry while pulling out a red t-shirt and black trackies to put on. "Shit that's not much time to get ready, my hair is still soaking" Harry says trying to towel it dry. He then pulls out a white Kiss band t-shirt and grey trackies, hopping  to the door while trying to put his long dangly leg in his trousers.

We get to the catering room, I scan round the tables to see who's already here. Immediately I spot Zayn isn't here yet, I hope he doesn't get punished for being late. Harry and I greet everyone and head to the buffet. I grab some toast and bacon and a coffee, thoughts flood back of home of my mum. Harry picks up some pancakes and we walk over to the table to sit beside the rest of the boys. Still no sign of Zayn, this isn't good.

Tom walks over to our table with his famous clipboard tucked under his arm. "Morning all, we had an emergency in the early hours, Zayn needed medical attention and won't be part of the shoot today. Unfortunately we can't cancel today as our schedule is too tight to reshoot" he explained. "We'll shoot Zayn's part when he's well enough"

All our eyes flick to each other's with worry for Zayn "He collapsed in his room and is being treated for dehydration in the hospital and will need a few days rest" he continued to inform us.

"Jesus Christ can we go see him?" Liam asks. " No, you can't, we have this music video to shoot, which is starting in an hour so go get to wardrobe now." Tom says sternly.

We all get up from the table and walk down the hallway. "This isn't right" I say to the guys, they all nod in agreement with me. "I will give him a ring the minute I get a chance between takes" Liam says.  "Thanks lad" I reply.

We walk into wardrobe and see they have along the wall five chairs in front of mirrors with bulbs all around them, rails of clothes are on the other side of the room. Harry goes first as they want to shoot a scene of him trying on a suit with a cute bow tie, it brings out his feminine side. He looks so handsome in the suit, I can't help but stare and admire him through the mirror.

It was my turn next and of course I got to play with a football, I actually miss playing football but at least I get to enjoy something I like, my mood is getting better. The producers bring in a luggage trolley, we're supposed to be chaotic, this was easy for Liam and I, we did cause chaos with it. It's good to act out, clears some of our anger! We had a right giggle to ourselves messing about with it too.

Liams up next, he's actually getting a tattoo for his section, man, I'm actually jealous, I want another tattoo but it was fun to watch it being done on the directors small monitor, it looked wicked in black and white.

Niall is last, and of course he's playing his guitar and showing off his golf skills. That boy either always has food, a guitar or a golf club in his hands but that's just our Nialler, I wouldn't change him for the world.

The last scene of the night is all of us on the roof of the hotel, wow the views are unbelievable from up here.  "And that's a wrap guys" our director calls. Finally we can find out how Zayn is and see if he's ok.

We all head to Liams room where we can do a group call with him. "Hiya mate, what happened to you, are you ok?" Liams asks Zayn. "No man, I've been hooked up to a drip since this morning, the doctors told me I'm very dehydrated and have exhaustion" he says groggily.  "Shit mate that's not good, we're all worried about you" Niall speaks up. "I will be discharged tomorrow so I will see you all then, I appreciate you guys so much" Zayn says before he hangs up.

"Liam let's have a fifa tournament on the PlayStation" Niall suggests, I think he's trying to distract Liams mind from worrying about Zayn and he won't head to the mini bar again. "Sure, let's go" Liam agrees.

Harry and I look at each other and side nod to leave and start to head back to our room "Let's order room service and watch a film in bed" I suggest. " I couldn't think of anything better" Harry replies. I pick up the phone and press the room service button, I order us a cheese pizza with fries, salmon salad and a couple of beers.

We're both resting on the bed, I nudge Harry to get undressed as I'm taking my own clothes off while waiting for our food to arrive. I still keep my pants on as I have to answer the door. Harry gets straight into bed while setting up the laptop. Shortly the hotel door knocks, I get up to answer, our food has arrives and I carry the tray over to the king size bed.

We start tucking into our food and Harry flicks on the movie "The fault in our stars" he loves romantic movies, I got to admit so do I.
