LOUIS

"I-I..." She stutters.

"You don't have to say it back, I just wanted you to know."

She smiles at me and gives me a gentle peck.

"I'm sorry I can't say it back."

I wasn't mad she didn't say it back, I was a little hurt I mean c'mon, but we haven't been dating that long.

"It's okay."

She cuddled into my neck and rests there. "I will say it back though, one day. It's just been a while since I've been in a stable relationship..."

I set my chin on her head. "Don't worry, I just wanted to let you know."

I feel her arm go around my waist and give a tight squeeze at my side, making me smile.

Cheers and laughs enter the room and the boys all appear. Lauren and I stay close though.

Once all the boys come in the room I notice Harry isn't in here. "Hey, whatcha guys doin'?" Niall asks.

He adjusts his snapback and keeps his eyes on the telly, "I love this show!" He exclaims.

He literally falls on the ground and lays there laying his head on Liam's feet, "Ew, Liam your feet stink." He moves his head over to leave it on Lauren's feet.

"That's better." Lauren chuckles.

"How much longer are you staying with us Lozza?" asks Liam.

"Two more weeks, why? You want me to leave already?" She jokes.

"Of course not!" He gushes, "My girlfriend, Sophia, is coming in a few days and she'd love to meet you."

"Great! It'd be nice to have some girl company."

"My girlfriend Perrie is coming too, she's got a break in her tour." Zayn pitches in.

We all break into conversation with me occasionally looking at Lauren, she fits in so well with the boys.

Eleanor never did, she found there jokes confusing or stupid and I always had to explain to her that it's a joke.

Harry walks into the room, sitting down with a huff, making the room go silent.

"Whats wrong?" I ask him.

"What do you do when your friend doesn't call you back and you've called her three times, I'm starting to worry."

"Her?" Niall questions sitting up.

"Yeah, she won't pick up."

"Maybe she's busy." Liam says.

"She's got time to post pictures of her and her friends on twitter." To be honest we had no idea who he was talking about.

"Harry..." Zayn starts, "It sounds like you like this girl more then a friend."

"Oooh, what's her name?" Lauren says.

"I'm not telling you!" He exclaims.

After more bickering Harry finally started to give in. "Her name is Alice, Alice Jones."

Lauren gasps, she sits up leaving my embrace, "The model?"

"Yeah, the model. We met a few weeks ago." Harry sighs.

"No way! We used to work together!" She speaks quickly, which she does when she's excited.

"I didn't know you used to be a model." Niall says.

"Yeah, it's kinda the main reason I moved here."

"Really? How long until your babysitting job is over?" Liam asks.

"Until your tour is over."

"What are you going to do afterwards?"

She lays back down on my chest and I cuddle up to her again. "I don't know, I haven't really thought about it."

"Have you talked to the five seconds of summer boys?" Niall asks.

I remain quiet through the whole conversation and just watch Lauren, she laughs and smiles while talking to the boys.
