Alexis woke up the next morning with a pounding in her head and a warm arm over her torso. She looked around at her unfamiliar surroundings, taking in the massive room. What did she get herself into last night? The room was plain and almost unlived in, other than a few articles of clothing scattered around the floor along with Alexis’ dress. Her eyes widening as she glanced down only to see herself covered in a oversized t-shirt reading ‘HIPSTA PLEASE’, along with a pair of loose boxer briefs. Her eyes focused in on the arm draped across her body, tracing up it until they reached the mop of curly, messy brown hair. Alexis shifted her body to get a glimpse of the boy’s face even though she was positive it was the boy band member she was out with last night. Her movement must have woken him since he tightened his grip on her, pulling her into his shirtless body. She sighed, trying to be as stealthy as possible by sliding off the bed. Not realizing how close she was to the edge, she fell to the ground with a loud thud.

The door instantly opened revealing a concerned Louis Tomlinson. “Haz? Are you okay, mate?” Alexis’ head shot up from the far side of the bed. “Oh! Sorry!” he apologized quickly when his eyes landed on the girl on the floor. Alexis instantly turned red in the face at the sight of Louis. “I didn’t know you were here. I’ll let you wash up.” he added. “Oh and he’s a heavy sleeper so don’t worry about waking him.”

“It’s not-I-uh thanks.” she smiled shyly as he exited the room.

Alexis quietly snuck out of Harry’s room making sure not to wake him despite what Louis had told her about him being a heavy sleeper. She was showered and wearing the same thing she slept in, carrying her dress from last night with her. The girl quickly made her way over to the kitchen where Louis stood, attempting to make breakfast. Lexi cleared her throat, startling Louis, causing him to drop two eggs out of his hands onto the ground. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you.” it was now her turn to apologize. She ran over to help clean up the mess she caused but he stopped her.

“Stop right there!” he shouted, holding up his hands at Alexis. “This is a dangerous area and I can’t have you getting hurt so you can sue me.” Louis announced pulling at the paper towels.

“It’s just egg. How am I going to get hurt by cleaning up two eggs?” she giggled to herself, draping her dress over a chair.

“These shells are extremely sharp and not safe for a lady to be messing with.” he instantly replied, making sure the floor was squeaky clean and egg free. Alexis sniffed the air as the smell of burnt toast filled her nostrils, “Uh Louis, I think your toast is burning.” “Shit the toast!” he jumped up, unplugging the toaster and dumping the toast right into the trash.

“Do you need any help?” Lexi asked out of the kindness of her heart. Eleanor was probably still sleeping and he wanted to make her breakfast in bed, she thought. Louis nodded frantically, getting behind her and pushing her over to the stove.

Louis had her cook scrabbled eggs along with bacon, sausage, and toast. She did it with ease since she was a pretty excellent cook and was great at multitasking when she wanted to be.

“All done!” Alexis called into the living room where Louis was watching the local news. She sat down at the table, grabbing her clutch and pulling her cell phone from it. Dead. She sighed to herself. As she went to ask Louis to use his phone for a cab, he placed a full plate of the food she had just made in front of her along with orange juice and tea. “Oh I’m not really that hungry.” she explained but her stomach said otherwise as it growled loud enough for Louis to hear. He handed her a fork with a smirk and sat across the table from her.

“Where were you last night?” Lexi asked with her mouth full of egg, some falling out as she talked. Louis chuckled taking a bite of his sausage, “It’s like I’m eating with Niall. I went to go see Eleanor for a bit.” He slightly frowned as he took another big bite. So she wasn’t upstairs then, Alexis thought.

“Well yeah, I know that. Harry told us, but I thought you were coming out after that.” she lifted her glass of orange juice, taking a gulp to wash down the eggs. He shook his head and furrowed his eyebrows, “I didn’t have plans of going out last night. Who said that?”

She tried to answer but was interrupted by Louis. “Look who it is. The man of the hour.” he announced as Harry shuffled his feet into the kitchen, in nothing but his boxer briefs, rubbing his tired eyes. He groaned in return taking a seat next to Lex who had her back to him. She sat awkwardly next to him not saying a word. Honestly she was a little angry about Harry lying to them last night. On top of that she didn’t remember everything that happened between the two of them.

“Good morning.” he spoke with a groggy voice, smiling in Alexis’ direction. She planted on a smile, “Morning.” She shoveled the rest of her food into her mouth, turning to Louis as he brought over Harry’s food. “Can I use your phone to call for a cab home?” she asked flashing him her dead iPhone.

“Did you forget we made plans today?” Harry asked, shifting his body towards her. Alexis was a little taken back that they actually made plans, drunk plans. “You know, erm football with the guys minus Liam.” he added. She just shook her head and assumed it was a joke. “Once I eat we can run back to your flat to get a change of clothes and Felicia.” “As long as we’re not golfing.” she spoke with relief in her voice. Alexis hated golf to the point where she couldn’t even watch a movie that had golf in it.

Louis argued with Alexis about who would be sitting in the backseat. Of course Alexis insisted on sitting in the back so the boys could be together for the ride but he wasn’t having it. He practically forced her into the front seat. Mostly likely being Harry’s wingman. She finally gave in letting Louis have his way. Harry started the car as Lexi got in and buckled her seat belt. Need Your Love by The Temper Trap began to play through the speakers of the car. He instantly turned it off, switching to the radio.

“I love that song.” Alexis commented from the passengers seat. Harry switched back to the CD in his car. “You like Temper Trap?” Harry asked gazing over to the girl who was tapping her hands against her legs as if they were drums.

“Yeah. I didn’t really know of them until I heard Sweet Disposition in 500 Days of Summer.” she admitted still tapping away at her legs and now quietly singing along. Harry smiled over at her before pulling out of the parking spot they sat in.

“I’ll go get changed quick and grab Felicia.” Alexis declared as they pulled up to the girls flat, jumping out of the car and running inside. “Felicia!” she called out, waiting for a response. She ran up the stairs and to her room to find something appropriate for football. With her outfit picked out and now on her body, she looked around the flat for signs of Felicia. It didn’t look like she had been home at all last night or today. “Someone got lucky last night.” Alexis mumbled to herself, making her way back to the dressers. She pulled out a sports bra and yoga shorts for Felicia then made her way back out to the car where the boys were waiting.

Alexis slowed her steps as her eyes caught what seem like the boys arguing. She observed them through the tinted windows, squinting to try to read their lips. Maybe Harry had plans with Louis today and forgot all about them. Maybe Louis didn’t want her around since she seemed to be a one night stand like most girls with him. Lexi’s movement must have caught Harry’s eye when his head darted in her direction with the fighting stopping instantly. She shrugged to the boys who closely watched her walk back to the car. She jumped into the car, buckling her seat belt once more. “I think she might be with Zayn.” she stated, glancing over at Harry who nodded in return.

“Typical Zayn.” Louis muttered under his breath from the backseat. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaning down low into the seat, sulking.

As the three made their way towards Zayn’s flat with Louis pouting in the back, Harry tried to have a normal conversation with Alexis to get to know her a little better. She was more into the music that was playing quietly behind Harry’s voice. “Why’d you decide to move out here anyway?” he asked.

“Fresh start. There’s nothing for me in America besides my family and one of my best friends and she moved a year ago. I was lucky enough to move out here with my other best friend who I just met in person upon moving out here.” she explained, laughing at the situation as she said it out loud.

“Wait wait wait, you mean to tell me that you never met Felicia in person until you went to move out here together?!” Harry asked, flabbergasted by the thought. Alexis nodded, “Basically.” Harry chuckled and shook his head. “How did you two meet then?” he asked, putting the car into park once they reached Zayn’s flat. Her eye darted around, trying to think of a better story to tell him on how they met but she couldn’t come up with a thing.

“Oh we’re here? Lets go get them up!” Alexis boasted as she unbuckled her seat belt, practically throwing herself out of the car with Felicia’s clothes in hand. Harry got out with her, walking to the door. He pulled out his keys, sticking one into the lock and opening the door. They silently crept into the flat and went straight towards Zayn’s room. Harry placed his finger over his lips to keep Alexis quiet.

Alexis slid over to the opposite side of the bed to get closer to Felicia. Harry motioned to jump on top of them on the count of three. He counted on his hand that he held in the air and once he got to three they both dive bombed their sleeping friends. Harry lightly slapped Zayn around the face to wake up him as Alexis practically humped her friend. “It’s time to get up honey boo boo child.” she spoke in her best southern accent. “We gonna go play us some football with the boys.” Felicia groaned as Alexis continued bouncing on top of her entire body that was covered in blankets.

“Get off of me.” she pushed her friend’s leg up into the air, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight to the ground. Alexis scattered to her feet and huffed, “That’s the second time today.” She strolled over to the door. “I’m going out to the car and I expect you to be ready in ten minutes, not even.” she warned Felicia before walking out.

“You heard the girl. Ten minutes or we’re coming back with ice water.” Harry pointed at Felicia and Zayn who followed his movements. He smacked Zayn on the head one last time before running out.

“So, idea. We get ready, hide, and then ambush them when they think they’re coming back to wake us up. Yeah?” Felicia smirks at Zayn, grabbing the clothes Alexis threw at her. “Oh, and by the way I’m stealing a shirt since it looks like Alexis didn’t think to bring me one.”

“Sounds like a plan. Oh, and you know you really don’t NEED a shirt. It might be preferred in public but I think you can get away without one,” Zayn winked at Felicia in response.

Zayn and Felicia got ready fairly quickly even though both of them would have rather been sleeping. Once finished, the two hid out in the bathroom attached to Zayn’s room. Trying to stay quiet for when Harry and Alexis came back was nearly impossible for Felicia considering Zayn was constantly trying to tickle the younger girl. Felicia lightly smacked the popstar to remind him that they had to be quiet or else their cover would be blown. When the two heard footsteps approaching Zayn’s bedroom, they got in position to attack. Harry and Alexis creeped into Zayn’s room in hopes of startling the supposed still sleeping pair with ice water, but only to both be jumped on and attacked by Felicia and Zayn. As Zayn knocked Harry down to the ground, Felicia landed with ease onto Alexis’ back, screaming at her as if Alexis was her own personal horse. “Giddy up, horsey. Bring me to the car. YAH YAH LET’S GO!” Alexis galloped to the car with her friend still on her back while Harry and Zayn playfully pushed each other around, following closely behind the girls.

“Hi mister grumpy gills.” Felicia greeted Louis as she piled into the back of Harry’s car with Zayn behind her. He nodded in return, giving her a weak smile that was still genuine. She looked over to Alexis who was in the front seat and also had witnessed Louis’ lack of words. She mouthed to Felicia that she would tell her later, getting a nod in return. The crew then drove to Niall’s flat with Felicia and Alexis singing obnoxiously along to the songs on the radio.

“I didn’t think of how we were going to fit everyone in my car.” Harry confessed, standing outside of the car with Niall who was adjusting his snapback. Louis finally became annoyed with the constant flirting and joking going on between Zayn and Felicia so he quickly spoke up to say he would squeeze in next to Alexis. As he began to get out of his seat, Niall shook his head in disagreement.

“Mate, your bum is too big to fit. I’ll do it.” Niall ran over to the other side of the car to Alexis’ door. She slid over as far as she could to give Niall more room.

“This doesn’t seem too safe.” Alexis commented while Niall positioned his body at the right angle before closing the door behind him. He grabbed the seat belt and pulled it over the two of them, “Nonsense. You’ll be safe with this.” He reached to click in the seat belt but Alexis’ butt covered the slot. “You might have to adjust yourself now.” Niall stated, pulling the belt back. Alexis lifted her legs and draped them over top of Niall’s as he motioned her to. She slid closer into him and he quickly clipped in the seat belt causing them both to sigh in relief.

“Took you two long enough! You just had to put it in the hole.” Felicia remarked. “That’s what she said.” Zayn added, leading the whole car to whoop and howl. The full car was finally on their way to play some football.
