Love is a Verb (Riley/Before You Exit)

Yeah. Fun.

Kaitlin

So yeah, nothing really happened that much for the past 2 months. I finished my online classes and transferred to Riley's online classes. It's much easier. As for my work, it's going rather smooth. The boys are following orders and are not causing too much problems. Sad part is that I'm always tired.

Oh yeah. Riley's so sweet. He serenaded me one time. In front of thousands of girls. Yeah. He announced that I'm his girlfriend and I though I was goner. Luckily, I wasn't. It was the total opposite. Even the 1D fans like me. They want me to be around 1D as much as possible and blah blah.. Anyway, they're really warm. They also found out that I'm a photographer and now my followers in all my social networks are in a frenzy. I got verified. Haha . Yeah. Shocker. I don't know what happened. The next thing I knew. I have a check beside my name. It's like an award. Maybe it's because of the past things that some stars posted on IG or Twitter. Ya know, remember the time when I was doing some work for Simon? Yeah, that.

That's an update for you guys. Because I have nothing to tell you for today.. Well so far I have none. It's a day off for all the guys today and they're just sleeping or doing what they want. I'm staying at the 1D bus today because me and Riley had a tiny argument. He's really the jealous type. I love him for that but sometimes it sets me off the edge. Like right now.

"You should really talk to him instead of just thinking it." Harry told me as he sat beside me.

"Again? I'm getting quite tired of making the first move whenever he's like that. And before you say anything else, I'm quite happy that he gets jealous. That means he really loves me. I know. I get that but can't I get upset sometimes? I have my days too."

"Well, I can't argue with that." He chuckled. "But still..."

"I know. I'll just let him cool off."

"Would you let me finish first? Why do you have to be so smart at these kind of things.." He shook his head and I laughed. "So want to take a picture?"

"And there goes the random Harry, ladies and gents." He pinched my nose and fetched out his phone.

"You gotta do what you gotta do."

"Hmm, so what's up? It's a shocker that you aren't out." I told him as he started typing.

"I have my days too." He mimicked me as he laid his head on my shoulder. For a guy, his hair smells divine.

"Yeah. Whatever Mr. Mimickstagram. Your curls are really curly. Get your head off my shoulder, peasant."

"No. I'm quite comfortable but... " he jumps and grabs a pillow. He put it on my lap and he laid his head on it. "This is much better." He looked up at me and smiled.

"Oh. I must fangirl. Oh my god. Harry Styles is with me right now. He's resting his head on my lap. Oh! I'm going to cry. I love you Harry. Marry me." I started flailing my arms around and Harry grabbed my arm and he bit me. "Ow! Hey!"

"You started it!"

"I didn't bite you!"

"You didn't but you fangirled over me."

"Oh poo you." I took his phone and started scrolling through his Instagram feed . Oh look, his recent post was the picture that we took. I look nice. I don't get notifications anymore because I disabled them. It's a bit freaky. He has a lot of random apps on his phone. Wow. I mean really random. I don't want to talk about it. I was about to say something to him but he was asleep. Who falls asleep that quick?! Apparently Harry. I laughed and thought about everything.

It seems like it was yesterday that I've been imagining these kind of things. Meeting famous celebs and all that. I used to always dream about totally random things, random people or random events and I would always remember what it was about. To be honest, I had a crush on a certain Harry Styles before but now? I don't think so. When I got close to him..He seemed to become the brother that I've always wanted. Yes, all of them are like my brothers but they're very different from each other yet they give me the same treatment. I admit, I feel the love. Haha. Cheesy as it may sound but it's true. Harry being the cheesiest of them. They've become a bit protective over me but again they are different to one another. Like Connor and Braiden, they are both best friends and brothers to me. Toby is like my fraternal twin brother. He is different in a sense that we're the same. Thomas ? Thomas is like a passionate brother. It's a bit unexplainable so let's leave it like that. Trust me. Zayn is like a brother that you see everyday but even if you don't have many conversations with him, you'll still feel a connection. Louis, will make you smile a lot just by the sound of his voice, a brother that would always be there to make you feel like no one can stop you. Niall is a brother that will turn you into a food loving but healthy person. Liam will be there and I mean there by your side. He will not live unless you feel fine or someone is with you that he trusts. Harry, well Harry will be Harry. He's quite childish and playful but he's just really loving. He'll cuddle and spoil you even if you disagree and once he decided, you can't stop him. But all in all they're the same. They give me love and wisdom and happiness.

Of course let's not forget about Riley. Riley may be my boyfriend but he's a best friend, brother and father too. He's very versatile. To be fair, they all act like my father. But Riley, I don't actually know the reason why I chose this guy. It may seem like an ordinary answer. I actually thought that before but now that I'm experiencing it? I feel that it's the best answer that my heart and mind tells me. I don't understand it before, I guess, I still don't but I'm trying and I'm willing to take it to another level.

And if we all ever fall apart.. I don't think I would know what to do.. They've become such a huge part of my life that taking them out will be a huge task. Not that I would want to. It's all very new to me. You guys know my past right and I am so overwhelmed. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm silly, they're just 10 boys but 10 is enough for me. Heck, 1 is enough. I didn't feel this before. So pardon me if I'm too much. It's not easy to let people in especially when your past issue was all about letting people in and in return, they shatter your whole personality into pieces .

"Okay! Kaitlin and the boys! Sit up . BYE's here." I heard Paul screeched. I didn't listen to him. I kept my eyes closed. "Guys! Fine then." I heard voices and a chorus of "oohs."

"Dude, that's just Harry. Chill."

"We're having an argument. I see that. What do you expect?" I heard a voice. Oh. I tried not to laugh. And there goes his jealous antics. Really ? Harry?

"They're sleeping. Give it a break."

"Give what a break?" Irish Niall said and he "oohed" after. What's with the ooh? "The lads are right. They're sleeping. Don't be such a baby."

"But.."

"Yeah. Be a baby then." Louis' voice boomed from the front of the bus. And....

I laughed. Like hard. Until I noticed Harry sitting up and laughing hard as well. He looked at me.

"You... I .. We.. " I nod in response and we laughed more. I have no idea why I'm laughing. I opened my eyes and saw everyone staring at me and Harry. "Brilliant , love." Harry smirked and I nod my head.

"Really? So childish."

"Oohhh." I mimicked everyone. Harry smiled.

"Someone's sassy."

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious." I muttered and they oohed at Connor. "STOP WITH THE OOH's. Seriously though, girls? Girls?!" They all shut up. "Paul!" I looked away. I'm seriously not going to look at Riley.

"Finally you're up. Sit." Connor was about to sit beside me when Harry jumped on the couch and took over the couch. I laughed but scooted a bit so that the remaining space can be seated. Connor sat beside me.

"Riley's jealous."

"Exactly , when is the time that he isn't?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Point taken."

"So , what's going on?" Liam asked Paul.

"This is going to be the last part of the tour in the upper part of the world. We're officially going to East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia then we'll make our way back to Europe or Latin America. I'm not sure too.. They're all messing up with the schedules so I don't have an idea what to say after The Asia and Australia part."

"Where ?"

"Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and so on."

"So our last stop is Australia?"

"No." Paul said, smiling in the process.

"Wait, where?"

"Philippines. I think they deserved it. So you can have some time off in there too. You haven't been in there so I think they deserved being the last stop in the Asia part. And a certain photographer once lived there." I froze. I'm going back soon in the Philippines. Should I be excited or what?

"Uh. Yeah. Fun." I awkwardly said.
