My Baby Penguin ( One Direction )

You're in for it.

Chapter 4

Zayn's buff arms were misleading, because by the time we walked into the warm air of the hotel, I was carrying Baylee's legs while Zayn had her arms, struggling to balance her head on his chest, to avoid hurting her neck. 

But I think he was enjoying it nonetheless. I watched Zayn look at Baylee in his arms and his eyes met mine. He smiled and looked away, but coloring was showing on his face. 

"Go ahead and set her on the bench over there, we should wait for the boys." Zayn said logically, but I had other concerns. 

"Uh, can we bring baylee to the room though? Benches tend to be uncomfortable, you know." I responded pleadingly. Zayn let a concerned chuckle escape, and he nodded.

"You wait here then, I'll bring her up. Room 113, floor 8." As Zayn said this I raised an eyebrow at him, and he just returned it with an unfazed 'Mhmm' kinda look. I smiled and faced the doors, waiting for the boys who had gotten themselves in this mess. I leaned back against the wall and released the tension from my muscules. Sprinting while holding somebody- even somebody as small as Baylee- really put stress on you.

I felt my shoulder being shaken lightly, awakening my senses. The scent of bacon and.. waffles? Drifted to my nose and I shot up. I looked around to see I was laying on somebody's bed. I looked over to see Liam and Louis standing over me. They smiled like goofs.

"Ey! Breakfast!" They chorused together.

"How long have I been asleep?!" I panicked, flipping off the plushy covers and standing up. Louis looked at Liam, who nodded, as if they were communicating without words.

"About an hour or two." Louis shook his head as if reasoning with himself. "Yeah, about there." I relaxed and sighed.

"I thought I slept overnight! You scared me! Wait- why are you cooking breakfast then?" I tilted my head.

"Who doesn't like breakfast? Niall got hungry." They smirked, responding as they walked out of the room. I  followed them down dark wooden stairs into a wide modern kitchen, bustling with activity.

"How the hell did you guys get this kind of hotel?" Pleasantly surprised by the luxury. I picked up a piece of bacon off of somebody's plate. I guess it was Niall's because he looked at me with a look of horror on his face. 

"Oh, you're in for it." Harry muttured under his breath, nonchalantly munching on a piece of rye toast.

"What?" I backed up against the doorframe. "Uh.. sorry?" Niall had an evil grin on his face. He walked up to me, looked my straight in the eyes with a mixture of anger and mischeif. What the hell did I do? I was tempted to laugh, but Niall looked pretty damn serious. He ducked down and grabbed my legs, flipping me over his shoulder. He walked over to a balconey, that held a large hottub.

Oh, geez.

I heard Niall's chuckle and I closed my eyes, preparing myself. Sure enough, I found myself plopped in the  warm waters of the hottub. I stood up gasping and flapping my arms, the heat a shock compared to the room temperatures inside. Niall's face had softened, and now he held his arms, hugging himself, choking with laughter.

"You- were.. ahah! So freakin' scared." He told me, tears streaming down his face. Suddenly he was serious again. "But really, don't take my food." He playfully glared and pointed a finger in my direction. He turned to walk in the door, but Zayn and Louis had pressed themselve against it, holding it closed. Harry was in the background, making weird motions, signaling for me to get Niall. I smirked, and he gave me a thumbs up.

I stepped out of the bubbling waters and put Niall in a headlock before he could process what was happening. I walked him over to the egde of the water, then laughed as I jumped in, pulling him with me.

We both rose to the surface, Niall's face an adorable look of shock. He looked about as terrifying as a baby penguin now, his bleached hair flat against his forhead and his eyes wide.  I moved to give him a friendly hug around his shoulders and pat him on the head. I stepped out, and grabbed a towel, provide by Baylee who was laughing at the scene. 

"I need a towel, too!" Niall whined. The boys we all sitting back at the counter now, resuming their breakfast, ignoring Niall's plead. I smiled at Niall and he just glared and made a face. 

"Awh don't be like that, just don't mess with Jessica Eva Horton!" I wrapped half my towel around his shoulders, pressing our arms together in order to have enough towel for the both of us. Eventually we were both laughing at the situation. Niall shifted off the towel, handing it back to me. 

"Wha- NIALL! Get your clothes back on!" Blood rushed to my face and I turned my head to look off the balconey. Niall gave a look to the back of my head.

"Why, they're soaking. Der-da-derr." He crossed his eyes and looked at me, like I was stupid. I laughed and shoved him lightly, walking into the house, seeing as I wasn't dripping anymore.

"Woah, what was going on out there?" Zayn said, referring to Niall in his boxers. Louis wagged his eyebrows, causing my to redden farther. Niall spewed laughter at my embarressment, shaking his hair out as he walked up stairs to change. I said nothing and ate my food. Eventually the event slipped my mind and I looked at Baylee. 

"Are you okay?! What happened? I'm sorry we lost you!" I said hurriedly. She smiled sweetly, moving her head side to side. I noticed Zayn had moved his seat closer to her, and I smiled at the picture.

"It's all good, since Zayn here came to my rescue all heroiclly and whatnot." She said with exaggeration, looking at Zayn and batting her eyelashes. I we started laughing because Zayn choked on his eggs at the proposition. 

"I just- uh." He flushed, calming down realising she was joking. It looked like he wished she wasn't kidding. He was soooo into her. It was adorable. 

"Woah!" I jumped as my phone buzzed on the counter (lucky it wasn't in my pocket.) and interupted my thoughts. I picked it up, my moms familiar voice in my ear.

"Honey, I have some bad news."  I went stiff, my face going pale. "I need you down at the hospital. Now."

There's the next chapter! I hope it wasn't too short. I might have time for one more update today, but I only have 2 hours until I need to register for school, then I have a small vacation (5 days, not internet.) I'll try to write some chapters so they're ready when I get back. Thanks for the patience to my few readers. :)
