Work Hard Play Hard >> Louis Tomlinson

{if it's written in bold that means it's written on a note in the story.}

LOUIS

I have put a lot of effort into this date and I hope it all works out.

Today, I'm going to ask Lauren to be my girlfriend.

It might be too early but I don't think I can hold back any longer.

My confidence has come back and I'm going to show Lauren that I really am boyfriend material.

It's a risky move but Lauren is definitely worth it.

LAUREN

I place my phone on Louis' music doc and dance around the room a bit enjoying my happy mood before having a shower.

With my music still playing I walk into the hotel wardrobe with my towel around my body.

Hanging from the coat-hanger is a casual outfit.

A top with brown on the long sleeves, it has writing on it too - in a large fancy print is : Mrs Tomlinson.

The cheeky bastard.

A simple pair of black skinny jeans is folded and a pair of fresh converses are sitting on the ground.

A scarf is hung around the coat hanger, it's the same brown as the shirt but it's my favourite type of scarf.

The one where you can loop it around your head twice. A note covered in blue sparkles is what catches my attention though.

I pick it up and open it, a load of more blue sparkles fall out. It read:

HAVE FUN ON YOUR DATE WITH LOUIS, WE KNOW ALL ABOUT IT CAUSE HE TOLD US.

LOUIS SAID TO LOOK OUT FOR NOTES LIKE THESE.

- Your Aussie Boys, Luke, Calum, Ashton and Micheal.

The sloppy hand writing makes me laugh. As I place it down I see a message on the back of the small piece of paper.

SORRY ABOUT MY HANDWRITING LUKE STAPLED MY FINGER - ASHTON

Sometimes these boys worry me with their stupidity.

I get dressed quicker than I ever have before and go to the bathroom to do my hair where an empty purse and another note is.

I pick up the note.

THIS PURSE IS TO KEEP MY LITTLE LOVE NOTES IN. - LOU X

I smile at his mention of love notes. This date is going to be amazing.

After I'm all ready I walk to the door where another sparkly blue note is taped to the door.

WALK TO THE PARK AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE HOTEL.

Shoving the note in the purse I do as it says.

~*~*~*~

Arriving at the park I look around for another blue note but I can't seem to find one.

I sit down at a bench and question what to do.

Maybe this is all a prank for Louis to just get rid of me? Maybe they've all left without me right now?

Now I'm just overthinking.

The park is busy and there are kids everywhere, it reminds me of Lexie.

A tap on my shoulder frightens me but I relax when I see a familiar face.

"Hey Lux." (incase you didn't know that's one directions stylists daughter.)

"Hi Lauwen, this is from Louis." She gives me a small blue note.

I thank her and she shoots me a toothy grin and a little wave before running off.

I watch her walk off and see her stop at her mum, Lou (1ds stylist) who waves and winks at me.

I read another message.

OFF TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE TWO TREES NEAR A SMALL LAKE, WALK OVER THERE. - LOU X

Walking over there I think of how long it must have taken to make all of this happen and that's why he wanted to do it next week instead of the night after he originally planned.

Reaching my destination, nothing seems to be happening over here.

A thud is heard from my left and a soccer ball starts rolling over to me landing directly at my feet.

I pick it up and spin it in my fingers coming across a message on the ball.

SOCCER THATS OUR THING - LOUIS...

I walk over to the tree where the ball came from and look behind it to find...

Nothing.

I keep walking behind the tree when someone taps on my should scaring me.

Turning around really quickly I trip over my own feet and fall on the ground. Laughter fills my ears, a very unique laugh.

Niall.

"Lauren, you should have seen your face!!" He says while laughing.

I get up and eventually join in on his laughter agreeing that my clumsiness must be amusing. He smiles at me and begins to talk.

"He really cares about you, you know?"

I'm taken aback by his question a bit but I can't help the blush that comes across my cheeks.

"Yeah, he doesn't let me forget."

"He gave me this to give to you, don't worry I'm not crashing your romantic date."

I take his note and read it.

SOCCER HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHAT WE DO TOGETHER, THATS HOW WE MET. I KNOW THAT YOU ENJOY SOCCER AS MUCH AS I DO, PROBABLY MORE. SO I'VE DECIDED THAT SOCCER IS NOT JUST YOUR THING ITS OUR THING. - LOU X

Niall clears his throat from awkwardly standing there. "You look like your in a trance..." I laugh.

"A romance trance... Hey, that rhymes." Niall continues.

God, what is wrong with him.

"Louis told me where to take you next, so lets go."

~*~*~*~

We walked for about five minutes but came to a halt at a small book store.

"This is where I leave you." Niall said running his hair through his hair.

The tips of his hair are blonde but he's very close to going back to his brown hair.

"Thank you Niall."

"No problem." He shrugs.

"No, I mean for everything you did for me while being on tour."

"It's ok Lauren, I think your good for Louis, even after just hearing your name he smiles. It's adorable." He says being sarcastic.

I roll my eyes and we say good bye to each other. Pushing the door open, the hinges creak and a smell of dust appears.

"Hello?" I yell.

No ones here.

I walk through aisles of books but no one is there either. Suddenly I hear a shuffling noise.

I follow the noise to the front desk which is on the other end of the store.

Two body's pop up from behind the desk frightening me for a second but I relax after I see who it is.

"Ello, Lauren."
