Chapter 23:Zouis' Barber Shop

Zayn's POV

"Harreh leave him alone!" I laughed.

 "Shhhh" Loueh held a finger to his lips. Leeyum was asleep on the sofa and the lads had decided thah it was about time he goht a shave. Leeyum's been spending every spare minute he gets at the hospital, so maintenance wasn't exactleh at the top of his list. Soh the lads decided we were gonna do him a favour. You can guess whose idea it was.

 "Okay Harry, apply the shaving cream" Loueh ordered and Harreh complied, which resulted in a roar of laughter from Niall.

 "Hand me the blade Niall" Niall tossed the blade to Loueh and then stood back to watch, one hand over his mouth to stifle the laughter and another one on his side, I think it hurt cause he was laughin too much.

 "Zayn, I'll do this side and then you can do the other" Loueh smiled.

 "Yeah bro" I tilted Leeyum's head a lil and then just held it in thah angle soh Loueh could see. Loueh did the first half of his face and even though Niall and Harreh were laughing loads, Leeyum didn't geht op. It's weird cause he's like generalleh a pretty light sleeper, buh I guess he was just soh tired.

 "Alright mate, your turn" Loueh hi-fived meh and then handed me the blade. I felt bad to do this to Leeyum, buh I couldn't just leave him there with half a beard now could I? I did one stroke and suddenleh Leeyum started to stir.

 "He's waking up!" Niall said worried.

 "Just sing to him Zayn" Loueh suggested.

 "Are ya serious?" I asked.

 "Yeah quickly" Loueh urged.

 "He's waking up" Harreh notified us even though we already knew thah.

 "Whah should I sing?" I asked suddenleh panicin cause nothin was comin to my mind.

 "Go to sleep" Harreh suggested. I was about to say somethin, buh Leeyum moved again and I just started singin.

 "Goh to sleep, goh to sleep, goh to sleep little Lee-yum" As if he hadn't been laughing enough already Niall completeleh cracked op. He was like literally rolling on the floor and stuff. Buh the best part was thah the singing actually seemed to work and Leeyum was as fast asleep as ever. Buh the moment I stopped he started to stir again. Soh I had to keep singing like the whole time. And Loueh and I even started doin a remix of twinkle, twinkle. By then Harreh was also holding his side as well and laughing soh hard I was scared he was gonna wee himself. Buh before he could, I had finished shaving Leeyum.

 "Harold, the towel?" Loueh ordered and he goht it tossed at him. He wiped Leeyum's face and we all stood back to admire our work.

 "Good job mate" Loueh held up his hand.

 "You too bro" we hi-fived and burst into like weird fits of semi silent laughter. Yet all the while Leeyum Payno was sleepin like a babeh. I realised that must be what it’s like when I'm asleep. I'm like literally dead to the world. Well, I hope what we'd just done doesn't give the lads any ideas, buh just in case it does I'm gonna make sure I sleep on my tummy from now on.

Liam's POV

It was weird, I was having horrible dreams about Isabella and the band and Loki and I don't know what else. And then suddenly it was Zayn singing to me. The weirdest part was that it was go to sleep and then it was Louis as well and they started singing twinkle twinkle. And then they turned into my parents or something. Well, whatever it was that dream was just crazy, their singing was ace though. I woke up alone on the couch and it was dark. I'd probably been asleep for quite a while and when I checked my watch I realised I was quite right. I was a little hungry, but my exhaustion was greater and I just decided to go to bed. Since everyone else was asleep. We had loads of interviews from early the next morning so rest was a good idea. I sent Isabella a text to see if she was doing okay, but didn't stay awake for the reply. Cause the moment my head touched the pillow I was out.

*********

I woke up the next morning to the most annoying sound in the world, my alarm. I got up and decided to hit the showers. The rest of the lads were still asleep so I could have the bathroom to myself for a little bit. There was three bathrooms at the place we were staying, so it wasn't gonna be like a mad rush or anything. But there was always someone who needed to wee while all the bathrooms were occupied or something like that. I went to wash my face, but got the shock of my life. I was pretty sure I had a beard when I'd gone to sleep. And I knew I hadn't shaved, but somehow the facial hair I'd been collecting was suddenly gone. I could hear some music coming from the hall so I stuck my head out. And sure enough there was Niall sitting on the floor playing his guitar.

 "Payno!" he took one look at my face and burst out laughing.

 "Niall what happened?" I asked, but he was laughing so hard that he couldn't get the words out. I decided to just go and get ready and maybe I'd ask Louis or Zayn about it later. I was just having breakfast when both of them walked into the kitchen.

 "Leeyum" Zayn smiled.

 "Morning lads" Louis greeted.

 "Lads the strangest thing happened. I woke up this morning and my beard was just gone"

 "Maybeh it needed a holideh" Zayn teased and gave Louis a little fist punch.

 "You guys are ridiculous" I shook my head, but I started laughing too just thinkin about it.

 "Aneh time bro" Zayn laughed.

 "Yeah Zayn and Louis' barber shop is now in business. Endorsed by the one and only Liam Payne" Louis added.
