Nobody Said It Was Easy

"Shut up! You know it didn't mean it like that boo." Bailey blushed, "Why do you take everything I say and make it dirty lately?" As their trip to London got closer Bailey had noticed some changes in Louis. He was more touchy, more intimate, and just over all more possessive of her.  Despite thinking it was a bit weird she didn't put much thought behind the changes.  It hadn't been a problem and it was likely to stop once he got back home to his girlfriend, El.

            Louis smirked and looked her over, "Because." he hesitated, "You blush like a little sex kitten." He gave a wink and sat down next to her on the bed. Bailey looked at him in shock. Did he really just call her that?  She decided to play along, what else are best friends for?

            "Meow" she grinned nuzzled into Louis neck until she heard him chuckle. Bailey pulled away laughing and smiled up at her friend.  She noticed Louis shift uncomfortably away from her.

            "Will you look at the time!" he said quickly, "It's pretty late and our flight leaves early tomorrow morning.  I'll leave you to get some sleep." Louis quickly got up and walked to the door of the bedroom.  "Don't forget ,kitten. I'm picking you up in the morning. Oh, and dress comfy. No need to impress."  With that he was gone.

            "Okay then." Bailey mumbles to herself and began packing her bags. Yes, she left packing until the night before. It's just the kind of person she was, putting things off all the time.  It didn't matter anyways because she knew exactly what she was going to bring. It was all just a matter of fitting it into her luggage. When she was done she had five big bags of luggage and a small purse that would be her carry on. She hopped into her bed, quickly falling asleep.

            In the morning Bailey heard someone shuffling around in her room. "Mom! Get out, I have everything now go away.  She pulled her pillow up to her face, holding it down by wrapping her arms around it.

"You're a cute sleeper, babe." Said the voice from across the room. Shooting up in the bed Bailey  flung her pillow through the air. Sadly Louis dodged it, causing her pillow to land on the ground with a small little thud.

            "That's so creepy!" She shouted, then took a deep breath. "Why were you watching me sleep?" she was now much calmer.

            "I told you I was coming to pick you up. I got here and your mom said she wanted to wake you up, but I asked her not to. I was just waiting for you to get up so we could go. It's not like there is anything better to do." He shrugged.

"Right." Bailey mumbled. "Well, get out so I can change. Then we can be out of here."

"But I wanted to-" Louis started.

"Out!"

            He folded his arms across his chest and left the room with no further words. Bailey sighed and changed into her travel clothes.  A long sweater cream and black leggings with brown soldier boots."Louis said no need to impress, so a messy bun it is." she whispered into the mirror. She whisked her hair up and left her room. "I just need to get my bags and we're off. Okay, boo?"

            "No you don't Bail! I've got them, they're in the car. Say goodbye to your mom and we'll be off." Louis smiled and waited outside. Once Bailey had said her farewell to her mother she walked outside, a little surprised he waited on the doorstep for her instead of in the car. He took her hand and quickly pulled her to the car.

            " So, can you believe my mum is letting my go back to London with you? This is insane. It will be just like old times." she asked as Louis opened the door for her and she got in. Bailey and Louis were really good childhood friends, but one her mum met her stepdad they moved out to the US. Despite the time differences and the distance they had stayed incredibly close, even through his fame.
