We Need A Reunion

Part 35

The boys had finished up the first twenty shows of the tour. They'd gone across England, Ireland and a few other countries in Europe. We were currently in Italy on our week break before continuing the tour.

We'd rented hotel rooms for the week and were going to go visit the sites. I was getting ready in my room, brushing my hair to put in a braid. I hear a knock at my door and I open it to see all the boys. I shake my head at them but let them in regardless.

Louis immediately goes and flops on my bed and Harry goes and lays next to him. I roll my eyes at their cuteness before turning my attention back to my hair.

"What's up?" I ask as I brush my hair through again before setting the hairbrush down.

"Nothing. We were just ready and were waiting on you." Zayn says.

"I'm almost done just gotta do my hair." I say as I start twisting my hair into a half up-half down fishtail braid. "Done."

I turn around and see the boys were watching me.

"What?" I ask looking at them with an eyebrow raised.

"Nothing, just how do your arms bend like that to do your hair?" Liam asks and I laugh at him.

"One of the many skills I've gained from being the oldest child of thirteen. Once most of my siblings were born, mum didn't have the time to do my hair so I had to teach myself." I said. "It also helped with the younger girls as they all wanted me to do their hair for school."

"You've got a really big family." Harry says looking impressed. I shrug.

"Most of the time it feels bigger because Lou's family has integrated into mine." I say and Louis nods. "We ready to go then?"

They all nod and jump up from where they were and raced out the door.

"Last to the lobby is an eejit!" Niall says and the boys start running faster down the corridor towards the stairs. I roll my eyes at them and casually walk to the elevator and get in. I walk out just as the doors to the stairs bust open and Harry comes running out. The rest of the boys follow and I giggle at their red faces. They whip around to face me.

"How'd you get here so fast? We didn't see you ahead of us." Louis says panting.

"I took the elevator." I say smirking and pointing at said elevator. "Work smarter, not harder."

They groan at the realisation but quickly perk up as I suggest going sightseeing. We walk around the city a bit taking in the sights and doing small bits of shopping. We then decided to go on this calming nature walk to finish the day.

"Harry? Liam?" I ask as we take a break from walking. They turn to me and give me a questioning gaze. "Have you thought anymore of when you want to come out?"

"Yeah, I don't really care as long as it's soon." Harry says as Louis grabs his hand. They smile at each other for a minute.

"I'm sorry for, like, pushing but I just need confirmation when you want to." I say apologetically.

"It's fine Kayleigh." Liam says as he give me a small smile. "We get it."

We decided to go back to the hotel after getting bombarded by some aggressive fans. We all got changed to go to the pool. I walk up and am immediately thrown over someone's shoulder before I'm thrown into the pool. I squeal as I make contact with the cold water. I find the boys laughing their asses off when I surface. Niall who's the closest must have been the one to throw me in. I swim over to the edge and raise my hand.

"Help me out." I demand scrunching up my nose a bit. Louis smirks knowing what was going to happen. Once Niall had a hold of my hand I grab on and pull. He flips over me and into the pool, the boys laughing harder now. When Niall surfaces he comes at me but I splash him with water. After a short water fight the boys jump in and join us. I settle on sitting on the edge for a minute to catch my breath. Niall swims over and leans against my legs. I wrap my arms around his shoulder and lean my chin on his head. We watch Louis, Harry, Liam and Zayn mess about with water while making jokes.

"Diving board?" Louis shouts at me and nudges his head in the direction of the board. I smirk at him and stand up.

"You always lose." I say as Louis meets me at the board.

"Hey you did years of gymnastics, I didn't. You have the advantage." Louis says pouting.

"Who's going first?" I ask.

"I will so you can show me up." Louis says standing on the board.

"I won't." I say making him smile. "Much." He drops the smile and turns around. He jumps in doing a cannonball making me and Harry laugh. When he gets back up he swims over to Harry and out of the way.

"What do you want me to do?" I ask Louis as I stand on the board. I squeeze some of the water out of my hair before tossing it behind my back.

"The sideways cartwheel thing." Louis says as Harry wraps an arm around him. I give him a nod and do an ariel into the water. I grin as I surface and swim around a bit.

"Where'd you learn to do that?" Liam asks.

"I did two years of gymnastics before quiting. I kept a few skills over the years." I answer coming to a stop at the ledge. I hoist myself out again and dangle my legs into the water.
