Work Hard Play Hard >> Louis Tomlinson

LAUREN

Since my 'visit' was such a surprise the hotel we are staying at had a whole floor rented out for the One Direction team so they wouldn't bump into any fans.

Yet, they still didn't have enough room for one more person. Me.

Yeah, it's not a nice feeling.

Lexie is staying with her mum of course, Hannah is trying to work something out for me at the moment.

As I sit at the small dining table in Hannah's hotel room, I finally have some peace to myself.

To think about my 'Louis Situation'.

Are we friends? Are we just really close even though I've only known him for about 3 months?

The pitter patter of feet enters the silent room and Lexie is at my feet smiling.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Are you and Louis married?"

My eyes widen at the question and Hannah's typing on the computer comes to a stop "No, Lexie we aren't married we're just friends."

"Oh, ok?"

"What makes you think they were married sweetheart?" Hannah speaks up.

"They were cuddling..." Her voice trailing off at the end.

"Like you and daddy used too." I stare at Lexie and the back at Hannah, her hand reaches up to her face and wipes at the rim of her eyelids. No tears escape but I can still see the glassy reflection in her eyes.

This is obviously a sensitive topic.

"Lexie, how about you go talk with Harry, he's right across the hall." She bounces up and down at the mention of her curly headed friend before leaving the room.

"Sorry about that Lauren."

"No, it's okay."

The clicking of Hannah's long fingernails against the keyboard starts and I go back to chipping my nail polish again.

"So you and Louis were cuddling?"

The subject is a bit awkward to talk about with Hannah. "Uh, yeah."

"Well you were quick to get close to him."

"What? No, we are actually close friends sorta."

She tilts her head up to look up at me, "You guys would be cute together."

If I had a drink I would have done a spit take but unfortunately I still managed to choke on my own spit.

Ew.

"Me.. Louis- cute?" She actually laughed at my reaction.

"Yes, cute." A lady like Hannah saying cute?

Cute... that's what teenagers say not people that are in their late 20s and dress like they're going to a wedding everyday.

It was also coming to mind that I didn't mind that she said Louis and I would look 'cute' it's just shocking that Hannah was the one saying it.

Lexie ran through the door with Louis attached to her hand, squealing and laughing she collapsed onto the lounge panting.

Louis laughed along with her and I looked at them curious.

"Nerf Gun War!" Louis cheered.

All of the boys entered and started running around the place yelling and screaming.

Louis looked me dead in the eye and jerked his head sideways signalling for me to follow him.

I look around the room and see if Hannah and Lexie are alright but they seemed to have left already.

Louis and I leave the room and jog to the elevator in silence.

I stand back and lean against the wall while he presses a button and I feel the elevator move upwards.

Once the doors upon we are on a level not even in the hotel but outside.

I look up and see the view of thousands of stars.

The rooftop.
