Work Hard Play Hard >> Louis Tomlinson

LAUREN

After shopping Louis and I get in the car.

I thank the driver for patiently waiting. "That was fun." Louis says.

"Yeah, thanks Louis, I needed to relax for a while."

We buckle up and get ready for the hour drive back.

"So... um... Loz... I... Uhhh.." I move my stare from the window to Louis.

He's fumbling with his fingers and looking down at them, his wrinkles on his forehead show as he thinks.

"Tonight... I.. wouldliketotakeyouout."

He mumbles words really fast and then looks up at me, expecting an answer.

"Lou, I didn't hear a word you just said." I laugh at how clumsy he seems.

He really does look like he is having trouble.

"I... promise you won't judge my really poor sentence structure, I haven't done this in a while."

"Ok, I won't."

"Would you... maybe... go to dinner or on a... umm..."

He stops and tries to pull himself together.

I think he's asking me out. I try not to get my hopes up.

He lifts his head up and looks me in the eye, taking a long sigh he smiles at me.

"Lauren Woods, would you want to go on a date with me this evening." He finally says.

The answer is of course yes but a thought comes to my mind.

"Lou, you have a show tonight."

He opens his mouth to form an 'o' shape. A disappointed look appears on his face.

"Next week on Saturday."

I furrow my eyebrows. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Would you want to go on a date with me next week?"

"Sure."

~*~*~*~

"You're lying Lauren."

"I am not."

He laughs as he falls back into the lounge.

"Seriously, my parents didn't give me a middle name."

Louis sits up and looks me in the eye. He's finding this so hard to believe for some reason. He sighs in defeat.

"My middle name is William."

I laugh at his monotone.

"Lauren, it's a lovely name thank you very much."

I sit down on the lounge opposite of him in the hotel room.

We just got back from shopping and are lazing around the hotel room for a bit before we leave for the concert.

"Louis William Tomlinson, it sounds like you belong to the royal family." He chuckled at my response.

I laid down so I was looking at the ceiling and I saw Louis copy my actions.

"I wish I had a middle name." I said.

He let's out another raspy laugh.

"Your names too pretty to ruin with a middle name."

I giggled and thanked him but on the inside I was screaming and I couldn't wait for our date.

*SATURDAY MORNING*

I woke up to the sound of my early alarm. Blaring under my pillow.

My charger is plugged into the wall behind the bed head so my phone just stays under my pillow.

I turned it off and tried to think of why I set my alarm today, normally Louis wakes me up.

Louis.

Turning over I see that the other side of the bed is empty. A note is laying on the pillow where Louis' head normally is.

Yes, we still share a bed because management thought it would be a good way to save money but I'm pretty sure Hannah had something to do with it.

I sit up and stretch my arms a bit before picking up the note, it read:

Morning beautiful,

Getting our date ready, it's going to be all day like I told you yesterday. I got an outfit for you that I know you'll like and don't worry I know your size.

Love, Louis x (flip the note over)

I do as the note says.

A bad drawing of a shirtless man is there with straight hair and exaggerated abs is shown with another note from Louis of course.

Just incase you missed my gorgeous looks and amazing abs, your words not mine. Pps, you talk in your sleep.

I feel my cheeks heat up and know that Louis will bring this up to embarrass me today.

The truth is I don't care. I get to go on a date with Louis.

And today that's all that matters.
