LAUREN

I look up and see stars twinkling against the black sky.

Straight away I walk to the edge of the building and see the city, lights glowing everywhere.

When you look down, traffic is all I see.

The traffic further away zooms past, so all you can see is lines of red and white, occasionally yellow.

The view is amazing and breathtaking.

And surprisingly... Romantic?

I glance down at my feet and see a pair of black converse appear next to mine.

I look at Louis' chiseled jaw. He really is handsome.

"On our last tour, when we stayed at this hotel, I found my way up here and sat here for about three hours..."

Still not making eye contact he kept the conversation going.

"They boys and I were playing hide-and-seek, they didn't find me and I eventually had to go back." He chuckled at the end.

"Management was pissed."

The whole time he kept looking at the view.

LOUIS

As Lauren's head turned to face the view I kept my eyes on her.

I wasn't over her, I thought I was but I definitely am not.

I watched as goosebumps raised on her skin. Her tank top really isn't helping her right now.

I wrap my arms around her waist and lean my chin on her head.

I hear her humming and pick up the song instantly, one of my Ed Sheeran favourites.

Slowly I start swaying us back and forth a sense of comfort coming over me just from Lauren's company.

'When your legs don't work like they used to before.

And I can't sweep you off of your feet.'

Her thumb rubs the palm of my hand as I keep singing to her humming, both of us staying on key.

I've heard Lauren sing before normally when she sings along to the radio in the car.

She has a nice soothing voice, one that's soft.

We stay out on the roof for a few more minutes, around an hour.

Just making conversation with me holding her.

I wrap my arms tighter around her each time I feel her shiver making sure to keep her warm.

After a cold rush runs through her body for about the 10th time I decide the night has come to an end.

"C'mon Lauren, let's get you inside."

Yawning, she nods in response.

I keep one arm around her waist while we walk to the elevator.

"Louis?"

"Hm."

"Thankyou, for showing me this."

"No problem. Although you have to promise that you won't show anyone this place."

She giggles a bit until she realises my serious face. Raising her hand she holds out her pinky.

"I pinky promise to not show anyone our place."

I smile at how she said our place.

"Pinky promise?" I laugh.

"Yes, don't laugh, you were acting serious so I am too."

She picks up my hand and force me to do a 'pinky promise shake'. Eventually I give in.

"I pinky promise that I will never show anyone our place." I say putting emphasis on the word our.

"Okay?"

I grin as she quotes her favourite book.

"Okay."

~*~*~*~

"Lauren, love, where have you been?" Hannah gushes.

"Sorry Hannah, I stole her for a while."

Hannah looks at me and than back at Lauren with eyebrows raised.

The boys snickering is heard in the back ground.

Liam and Zayn are smirking. Niall just has his eyebrows raised whole Harry has a proud grin on his face.

They obviously know about me falling for Lauren.

Woah... falling?

"Well, Louis, since you and Lauren are such good friends I suppose you wouldn't mind sharing a hotel room with her?" Emphasising on the word friends.

I go to say yes but stop myself when I remember that my hotel room has only one bed because it's my turn to stay in a room by myself. The others go in pairs.

"My roo-"

"Excellent. Well we should all get to bed as it's quite late and you boys need your rest." The boys all leave.

Harry stops in front of me though.

"The boys and I know you like Lauren." He whispers in my ear.
