Perfect Now [l.t]

Breakfast date ⛅️

JAYS' POV
I wake up the morning after feeling oddly refreshed, still with the insanely happy feeling I felt the night before. There isn't even a trace of a headache or drowsiness that I usually feel after drinking.
I expected to wake up and see Esme asleep in the bed next to me or maybe in Mays bed, but there is no sign that she had ever been in the hotel room.
As soon as I realised she wasn't there I check my phone, hoping to see a message from her but there isn't a single word.
I wake May up to see if she has heard anything. "Heard from Es?"
"Nope. I'm guessing you haven't either?"
I shake my head.
May shrugs. "Maybe we should just get ready because if she's still with Harry she's going to be at breakfast with everyone right?"
"Yeah I guess."

After getting up and ready, May and I head down to the hall where we're supposed to meet the boys and hopefully Esme.
"Why do you look so scared?" May giggles.
"Because we're having breakfast with One Direction."
"You literally spent the whole of last night with Louis though."
"That's different."
"How?" She laughs even more. I give my sister a small shove but she jumps the last few stairs to avoid it... and stumbles straight into Niall. It's my turn to laugh now as she turns a dark shade of red. "Oops! Sorry Niall."
"May, it's fine, don't worry." His face is scrunched up in his effort to hold back his laughter.

I'm so busy laughing I don't even see Louis walk over to me. "Morning, love."
"Oh!"
"Wow, you seem happy to see me." He smirks.
"I was just surprised, that's all."
"You're still surprised to see me even though you knew you would?"
"Yes but only because I got distracted by May falling at Nialls feet," I feel a poke in my back as I turn and see May staring at me. "Which was totally not funny whatsoever."
"Oh yeah, totally not funny at all." He chuckles. "Anyways Jay, I was hoping me and you could go out for breakfast, you know, just us two. Unless you don't want to of course."
"Of course I want to."
"I'm beginning to feel like you'd go anywhere with me without raising an eyebrow."
"I definitely have some boundaries but -"
"Let me guess, I'm 'The Louis Tomlinson'"
I shrug. "Pretty much, yeah." Louis laughs, shaking his head.

Then I remember about Esme and turn to May. "Esme's not down here is she?"
May shakes her head frowning.
"Louis, where's Harry?" I question him.
"I figured he was with you guys and Esme."
I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. Why hasn't she told anyone where she is?

"Harry and Esme were here last night but they left early this morning," Liams voice comes from behind me, startling me. "He came into my room looking for his portable phone charger this morning and told me he was taking Esme out for the day."
"But we're leaving later? Is she coming back?"
Liam shakes his head. "I'm not sure, Harry didn't say much else."
Louis' fingers reach under my chin and close my mouth which had dropped open in surprise.
I turn to look at May in disbelief and see that she looks angry. "She can't just not come back last night and then disappear off first thing in the morning with no warning."
I nod my head agreeing with her when I feel Louis massage my shoulders. "I get that it's annoying and she shouldn't have done that but she's with Harry so she's safe."
May crosses her arms. "I'm not on about her safety here, it's annoying that she didn't tell us."
"Oh, well, in that case, continue fuming."
May smiles, "Don't worry, I will. Anyways, don't you guys have a breakfast date to go to?"
"Ooo, a date, eh?" Liam winks.
"Are you wearing another thong, Jay?" Niall splutters, as usual finding himself way too funny.
I open my mouth to retort but Louis wraps his arm round my shoulders. "We're leaving now. Have fun being the third wheel Liam, considering Zayn is still snoring his head off." Liam grimaces as he realises the situation he's in before muttering something unintelligible to himself.
"Have fun Jay, but don't ditch me like Esme did, and if you do at least have the courtesy to tell me beforehand." May hollers as I walk away with Louis.
"Who do you think I am? Of course I won't do that." I call back over my shoulder.
