Mission: Love (1D FF)

9.

"Whats wrong?" Louis asked, poking my sides, as I leaned over the kitchen counter. I flinched as his fingers tickled my side, and tried to suppress my giggle.

"Working on the case." I said, chewing on the end of my pen.

"Look at this, so I was thinking about what Zayn said last night, and his connection to this drug Lord is a dead end. Xander, is apparently who Zayn deals with, but Xander has no criminal record, no record at all really except census records. He doesn't even have a tag record on a car. He's literally like nonexistent."

Louis looked over my shoulder at the paper work. His eyebrows furrowed and he grabbed the papers from me. He stroked his chin as we looked over the paper again and again.

"Where does he live again, or like his last recorded address?" Louis asked.

"Washington, 6653 Mountain Trail Run. It's somewhere in the Rockies, at least thats what google map says." I stated, pulling google maps up on my laptop.

"After our studio break here, we fly to Denver, and then to Seattle. When we go to Seattle, we could visit this guy."

"Yeah, that'd be awesome. Do we know if Zayn is meeting up with anyone in Denver?" I asked, hoping maybe he would.

"Not sure, but I'm sure he'd tell you."

"Or would he," I asked, looking Louis in the eye.

Later that day, the boys had a studio session, so I just stayed in the apartment like the loser I am, and watched reruns of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. I was on season 3 when there was a knock on the hotel door. I paused the show, and took my popcorn bowl with me, as I got up to answer the door.

I swung the door open, and a tired looking Lou stood at the door, holding Lux.

"Hiya, you look exhausted, why don't you come in?" I opened the door wider, allowing her to come in.

"Thank you. Ugh, I need a break." Lou set Lux down on the floor, and Lux ran off to see what she could find. Lou sank into the arm chair that the hotel's decorator sat right next to the window. I walked into the kitchen, which was adjoined to the living room.

"No one said parenting was easy." I stated, hoping I would never have to worry about that soon.

"Your telling me. I just need 1 hour by myself. Lately my whole life has been surrounded by her, little Lux, and I can't take it. I need her to just understand that mommy cannot play princess's all the time." Lou explained.

I poured her some tea, adding my nan's special syrup that instantly relaxed people. My nan had come up with it while living in Poland during the harsh times; everyone was panicked so she made up some concoction to try and soothe them.

I walked over to Lou, and handed her the cup.

"I'll give you an hour and a half. You can stay here and I'll take Lux shopping, that way you can relax. Make yourself at home, do whatever you want."

"Would you really?" Lou asked.

"Of course!" I stated, standing back up. I called out Lux's name, and she came running out of my bathroom with lipstick all over her face.

"Look mommy, I look like you!" Lou smiled, and laughed.

"Come here sweetie," Lou stated, grabbing some kleenex off the table and wiping Lux's mouth with it.

I took Lux downtown to a strip mall that had this amazing toy store. It was huge, and was pretty much every kids dream. I held on to Lux's hand, knowing how tempting it was to run away. I told her she got to pick out 3 things and I'd buy them for her. Her eyes grew wide as she wandered through the aisles looking at all the toys.

She ended up settling for a stuffed bunny, a barbie doll, and a fashion princess for herself. I payed for it all, and we headed out to go grab a bite to eat.

"Where do you want to go for lunch?" I asked, holding her hand.

"MickyD's!" She squealed, and started jumping.

"Alright, Mcdonald's it is." Luckily one was right down the street, so we walked down to it.

I brought Lux back to the hotel, where Lou layed asleep on the couch. I decided to just let her sleep, and let Lux play with some of my cheap makeup.

A few minutes later, Louis walked into the apartment. I shushed him, and whispered that Lou was asleep. He nodded his head.

"So, I was thinking," he whispered, "you need a break, a night away from being Jade Neimann, FBI agent; instead be Eleanor Calder, my girlfriend. Plus if we dont go out- suspicion will rise."

"Okay, but we have to wait until Lou wakes up. I'll go start getting ready," I said. I walked into my bedroom, and sa Lux passed out on my bed. I smiled, and walked over, pulling a blanket on her.

I got out a really pretty navy dress I was saving for a date. It clung tightly to my waist, and accented my curves. Not to mention, it did make my boobs look fantastic. I left my makeup the way it was- only some blush and mascara. I decided to use my time to curl my hair instead. Loose curls and swept to the side. I grabbed my black heels, and a small purse. In it held my gun, permit, badge, pepper spray, and my wallet which was slim and tiny. I walked out of the bedroom, and saw Lou had woken up and was talking to Louis about their next set.

"Lux is asleep on my bed, just leave whenever you want. The extra hotel key is under the candle in the kitchen incase you need to leave and come back." I said to Lou.

She thanked me, and then Louis and I were on our way.

"You look really good tonight," he said, grabbing my hand. I wasn't new to relationships, but him holding my hand felt different. It was a good different, but I didnt know how to react or what to do. So, I just wrapped my fingers around his hand, which made him smile.

We got to the front of the hotel, where paparazzi and fans were still standing. We made it through the mob, while curious questions were called out. Once we got to the parked range rover, Louis held the door open for me. He closed it, before running to the driver side and got in.

We drove to a local restaurant and had dinner there. It was nice, and the food had tasted amazing. Afterwards we had gone to the movies. During the movies, he sat to my left, and had reached his hand over to mine a grabbed it. I was confused, we were in a dark movie theater, he didnt have to act, but I didn't mind.

We drove back to the hotel around midnight, and I was tired as hell. I had fallen  asleep in the car, and Louis shook me awake when we pulled up to valet. I slowly got out, trying to stay awake. I felt Louis grab my waist and legs, and soon realized he was carrying my bridal style. I smiled, and rested my head on his chest.

I fell asleep peacefully that night.
