Work Hard Play Hard >> Louis Tomlinson

LAUREN

"Louis..." I said for the tenth time.

"Is he still locked up in his room?" A voice appeared.

Liam walked in and sat on the lounge, for one person this hotel room is really big. "Yeah, he won't answer me anymore either."

I lean against the door, giving up on getting Louis' attention.

A sigh left Liam's mouth and he looked up so his eyes met mine. "How did you really end up here?"

I was quite taken aback by his question. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that I can tell Niall didn't organise a surprise for Louis and that this whole scenario with you being on the bus was an accident." His voice grew sharper and firmer by the end of his sentence and his jaw clenched up.

"How did you know?" Quietly I reply.

Liam was always the one that gave me the cold shoulder since we met and I don't know why.

"I can just tell when Niall is lying and that you care too much about Louis for it to be a surprise that you came here."

"Woah! I didn't mean it like that."

He calmed his tensed body down a bit at my sentence and his broad shoulders slumped down.

"Are you going to explain what happened then?" Liam asked gruffly.

The door knob from Louis' door started twisting and before I could process what was happening I was falling backwards from the disappearance of the door.

Somewhere in the fall my body twisted so I was going to face plant the floor, which is hopefully carpet.

As I hit the ground a pair of arms wrapped around me and I opened my eyes to find me on top of Louis.

"Did you really miss me that much?" He joked. I let a chuckle from under my breath escaped while I placed my hands on the ground so my whole weight wasn't on him.

Liam cleared his throat, which startled both of us. Our heads whipped to face him, "I'll just come back later so you can tell me Lauren."

After hearing the door close I realised that for the first time in a while it's just Louis and I.

"You comfy there?" He asked, gesturing to how I was still on top of him.

To take the joke further I rested my head on his chest and nodded. I didn't hear him laugh though, lifting my head I see a smirking Louis as his grip tightens around my waist.

I pulled away with hesitation but it was getting a bit weird just cuddling in the middle of a doorway.

"What did Liam want to talk to you about?" He asked as I sat on the bed.

"Uuhh... just stuff... I guess." Wow, way to reassure him. Note my sarcasm.

"Lauren, you do know these walls aren't very thick." I sighed and sat up as he laid down next to me.

"Are you ready for a really long story?"

"I've got all day."

~*~*~*~

"So, you didn't come here to surprise me and you said no to an offer of coming on tour with me, but yet you still seem to be on tour with me and it was a huge surprise when I found you here." Louis sums up my story.

"Yeah, you make the story sound a lot shorter than it really is."

His arm underneath the crook of my neck and other arm loosely on my waist, he turns his stare from the ceiling to me.

"Why?" He asks.

"Why, what?"

"Why didn't you want to come on tour with me and why didn't you surprise me... did you even think of me at all when I left?"

I sat up to look him dead in the eye, "Louis, of course I did, it's just that you made it really clear that you wanted to get over me and I guess you weren't ready for another relationship."

"I didn't mean it like that, if I knew that you had been offered to come I would have packed your bags for you."

~*~*~*~

Dinner time came along quickly, Louis and I stayed in his room a bit longer and talked.

When we reached the dinner table Paul, Hannah and Lexie were already there and the rest of the boys were following behind us. The rest of the room had a table with 5 Seconds of Summer on it.

Hopefully I'll get to talk to Luke soon, but other then that it was another table with the management that I met in the hotel room before.

After we all sat down and the food came everybody seemed to have there own conversations, Harry seemed quite content talking to Lexie.

I smiled at how cute they looked.

LOUIS

I followed Lauren's gaze to see Harry and Lexie having a 'deep' conversation.

Her face was crumpled up and Harry was laughing at her. Looking back at Lauren she's twirling her fork around on her plate.

"You seem a bit bored?" I whisper to her.

She nods in agreement. Just as I'm about to reply, Hannah - our new manager - stands up and makes sure she has the whole rooms attention.

Attention Seeker.

"Alright, most of you have met my little angel Lexie and her babysitter Lauren. They arrived this morning and will be leaving..." She looked over at Lauren who had her mouth open but nothing came out.

"I don't really know when we'll be leaving Hannah." She says.

"Oh well, let's all just make sure she feels very welcome." Lexie claps after her mums speech which makes us all laugh.

Today has been a long day.
