At Starbucks

Chapter 47- Sleep

Chapter 47
Jayla's p.o.v

"What is this?" I asked, gesturing to the five people sprawled out on the floor.

"Those are two people desperately in love but refusing to admit it because they are giving each other space." Harry said, pointing to Court and Liam. Liam's arm was wrapped around Court's waist and they were both asleep.

I shook my head, walking into my room. I threw my stuff on the floor and fell on my bed. This whole 'going to work' thing was getting exhausting. I know my job could be harder, and I'm grateful that I have one, but it's so exhausting.

"I'll be right back. I need to go shower." I heard Court say from the living room. I heard footsteps followed by my door opening.

"I need advice." she stated, sinking to the floor.

"Continue."

"Liam and I are still taking a break, but then I woke up and he was right next to me and I didn't know if I wanted to get up or not. I mean he smiled at me like he used to and I don't want to send him mixed signals. It's just I want everything to go back to normal, but I'm still really stressed out, and I don't want to drag him through that again. What time is it?"

"It's like 2:00am." I simply stated.

"And your just getting home from work?"

"Yup."

"You're hiding something, but I'm too confused with my own life to figure it out right now."

"Court, maybe you should just calm down about it, and talk to Liam when it's not so early."

She nodded, and left I room. I assumed she went to take a shower and then when back to the four boys camped out in our living room. I just sighed and went to watch YouTube videos until I fell asleep.

Liam's p.o.v

"Look who finally came back." Louis said to Court.

"Shut up, I had to find blankets for all of you." she retaliated. She then handed a blanket to each of us.

"Are Fiona and Niall still on that date?" I asked, knowing that if Fiona was here, she would have made her presence known.

"I think they're in her room." Court yawned, walking into the kitchen. She came back with a pack of Twizzlers seconds later. "I'm going to bed, later losers."

"No!" Harry whined.

"Give me one good reason why I should sleep out here with the four of you."

"Because if you don't, we'll have to listen to Liam complain about how much he misses you, and how stupid he was to let you go." Zayn answered.

"And we'll keep knocking on your door until you answer." Louis added.

Courtney considered that for a second, and much to my liking, chose to stay in the living room with us. She laid down in the spot she previously had, next to me, and pulled a blanket over her.

Satisfied with her choice, the other lads went to sleep, leaving Courtney and I to talk to each other.

"So..." she trailed off, her dark brown eyes looking up at me. I couldn't help but smile at her a little, and she returned the smile.

"Are you cold?" I asked, noticing her slight shivering. She nodded, pulling the blanket more around her.

"You want me to hug you?" She questioned when I gestured for her to hug me. I nodded, and she gave in, moving closer to me.

"This is weird." she mumbled.

"That's not what you said a week ago."

"Shut up, Liam."

We stayed like that for a while, before I decided to speak up, "Court?"

"Mhm?"

"I love you."
