After a nine and a half hour flight from Miami to London, I was ready to go to bed. We all had a major case of jet-lag, and I sleepily hugged Niall, Harry, Liam, and Zayn and waved them goodbye before leaning into Louis's open arm and walking towards the car that was to drive us home.

When we pulled into the parking lot of our house I woke with a start, realizing that I had fallen asleep on (and horrifically drooled on) Louis's shoulder. I didn't feel like getting up, so I just stretched my arms out hoping Louis would take the hint. He chuckled and picked me up bridal style, forgetting about the luggage we left in the trunk (we could unpack tomorrow) and carrying me home.

He set me down gently and left a light kiss on my lips before going to get ready for bed.

I was just drifting off into sleep when I felt Louis getting into bed and wrapping his arms around me, hugging me tightly. The last thing I heard was a soft I love you being whispered into my ear before I fell asleep.

I woke up slowly, keeping my eyes closed as let out a happy sigh. Suddenly, I got the feeling that someone was watching me and I opened one eye, only to find Louis hovering over me slightly staring intently at me.

I opened my other eye and furrowed my eyebrows, asking him "What? What are you looking at?"

He smiled, and said "You."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, slightly uncomfortable.

"Because you're beautiful, and I like looking at beautiful people."

I snorted and burst out laughing, shrieking, "Oh my gosh did you just try to quote the Fault in Our Stars?"

Louis just smiled and said, "Yup. So anyways, did you miss waking up like this with me? Cause I sure did."

"Oh I definitely did." I said eagerly before pushing him down lightly into the bed and rolling on top of him, kissing him passionately. I ran my hands up his chest and behind his neck before tangling them in his hair, and he just wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer.

He moved his lips to my neck and I sighed happily, and just as he was about to kiss me again my phone beeped, letting me know I had received a message. I looked at him apologetically, before rolling off him and reaching for my phone. I groaned when I saw that it was just Niall who had interrupted us, asking me if Louis and I wanted to hang out today.

Before I could type out a response Louis grabbed my phone and dialed Niall's phone putting it in speaker for me to hear.

"Hello?" I heard Niall say.

"Hey, Niall, buddy, it's Louis." He said with a fake cheeriness to his voice, and I tried to suppress a smile at what Louis was gonna say next.

"Oh hey Lou. So do you guys wanna hang out today? I'm so bored." He said, his Irish accent thick.

Louis inhaled sharply and replied, "Oh we would, mate, really, but before you so kindly interrupted April and I were doing something that we really, should get back to if you know what I mean."

I tried to hold my laughter but failed when Niall exclaimed, "What were you guys do-oh god you guys were doing that? You know what, I don't even want to know and I really don't need to know what you guys do in your alone time. Oh god now for the whole day I'll have that image burning in my mind. Gross."

I burst out laughing the moment he said it. "Hi, Ni." I breathed in between laughter.

"Hi April. Hey can you refrain your boyfriend from telling me what you two do in your spare time, because like I said before, I don't want to know."
