Chapter 20: Good Time

  Chapter 20: Good Time
Roselyn's POV
Today we start touring with the buses. Since there are 13 of us, we are taking two buses. Everyone has been arguing about who is on which bus. From what I could tell the boys wanted to be with their girls, the Little Mix girls were ok with being split up, but Jesie and Jade wanted to bunk together. I came up with a solution where Zayn and Little Mix are on one bus. He get to be with Perrie and Jade and Jesie get to bunk together. I send a video of the group fighting with my solution to Paul. He texts back. I like the idea, except poor Zayn is the only guy. I sit and think for another minute and fix my plan. Bus 1= P&Z, H&M, J&J Bus 2= L&S, N&D, L&R, L-A
He replies with a thumbs up emoji. I stand up on my chair and yell to get everyone's attention.
"Listen up! I have an assignment that has been approved by Paul. Zayn, Perrie, Jesie, Jade, Melody, and Harry are in Bus 1. Liam, Selena, Niall, Demi, Louis, and Leigh-Anne will be in Bus 2. Any questions," I say.
Louis timidly raises his hand.
"Yes Louis," I address him in a softer voice.
"What bus are you in? Please tell me it's not 1," he asks.
"I'm in Bus 2," I tell him.
"Yay!" He starts running around yelling in happiness. Once he calms down we all grab our luggage and load the buses. After loading all of the luggage we claim beds. Louis chooses the bunk above mine. There is a small wall separating our bunk from the bunk next to us. It doesn't do anything for the bunk across from us though. I notice a pile of colorful fabric on the kitchen table. I go and sort through it. It takes me a minute to realize they are curtains with our names on them. Everyone else went to the other bus so I go and put everyone's curtain on their bed. I decide to take advantage of the quiet and unpack. I quickly unpack my stuff into my cubbies and drawers. I make my bed and curl up in it with my fuzzy blanket and a book. I'm really tired and struggling to keep my eyes focused on the words. Soon I drift off to sleep. I'm woken up by frantic yelling. I slide open my curtain and crawl out of bed. I stumble into the living room. I find everybody yelling.
"What's going on," I ask. They all freeze at the same time.
"We were looking for you," Liam says.
"I was in my bunk. I unpacked, then fell asleep reading," I say.
"Didn't someone check the bedroom," Perrie asks. Everyone looks at each other like didn't you check it.
"See it was a simple case of miscommunication. Everyone thought someone else had. No big deal," I say.
"We're going out to dinner," Niall tells me.
"Can I go get changed really quick," I ask.
"We're leaving in ten minutes," Harry says. I go back into the bedroom and pick out a nice outfit. I take the clothes to the bathroom and quickly change into the black knee length skirt, light purple sweater, and black heels. I braid my hair into a side brad. I walk out and find everyone ready. We exit the bus and find cars waiting for us. I count the seats in each car.
"There's not enough seats. We're short one," I point out to the others.
"You can sit on my lap," Louis offers.
"Ok," I agree. We all climb in and I sit on Louis' lap. Surprisingly it's quite comfortable. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the restaurant. After dinner we get ice cream, and go back to the buses to have a quiet evening. Louis and I curl up together on my bed each reading a book. I get a bit chilly and start shivering. Louis notices and get up to grab a blanket from his bed. He gently wraps the blanket around my shoulders. Then he starts walking to the door.
"Where are you going," I protest his leaving.
He chuckles and says," I'll be write back love."
He comes back a couple minutes later holding two mugs, one overflowing with whipped cream that is drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce. He hands me both mugs and crawls in next to me. Once he's situated I hand him his tea.
"Thank you Louis," I tell him softly.
"You're welcome love," he replies. He gives me a soft kiss on the forehead. I curl into his side with my drink and my book. Louis finds my phone and turns on my piano and cello music so it will play softly in the background. We stay curled up like that for hours. We end up falling asleep with our books laying open between us and our empty mugs on the floor.
