Behind Her Smile [Louis]

“Wake up, wake up, wake up” I opened my eyes to see Louis jumping on my hotel room bed.
I grabbed his legs so that he fell on top of me. He sat straight and a fit of laughter reached even his eyes. And my heart.
“Are we already leaving?” I stretched my arms and yawned while waiting for his answer.
“in 2 hours.”
“Why the hell are you waking me up already?” I closed my eyes again, pretending to be annoyed. But I couldn’t ignore the smile loosely hanging on my lips.
“I couldn’t sleep, I thought you’d be kind of a morning person so we could hang out, I guess I was wrong though” he shrugged.
“I think you should be thankful I don’t kick you out.” I closed my eyes again and let myself fall on the soft mattress again, with a thud I reached the mattress and my arms immediately found my pillow again.
“Okay, grumpy.”
“I am not grumpy, mornings are my friends.” I protested with my head covered in sheets, and my pillow so it was more murmured and rather muted.
Louis chuckled lightly.
“You guys are always complaining about your lack of sleep and here you are, being ridiculously cheerful.” I complained waving my hand in various movements in Louis direction.
“I know” he chuckled again.
“You.. know.. you know? You really..really shou should-“ I murmured, not really thinking what I was saying and fell asleep again.
**
“I should what?” He asked when I opened my eyes again.
“How long was I off?” I sat straight and made a bun of my messy hair.
“An hour” He said casually. Louis was sitting against the wall only a few inches away from me and was reading in the book I finished yesterday night.
“So I really should what?” He closed the book.
“I don’t remember anymore” I grinned, knowing this would annoy him more than it would ever annoy me.
“Damn, I really wanted to know.” He knotted his eyebrows together, but then gave a warm, friendly smile.
“I’ll be right back.” I tugged on bottom of my shirt so that it’d cover my bum, grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom.
I closed my eyes, enjoying the hot water almost burning my skin as it ran over my body.
When I was fully dressed I took my shampoo and all the other stuff in the bathroom to the bedroom and put it in my bag.
“Pretty fast huh?” I asked while towel drying my hair.
“I like your dress” He answered. “And yea faster than Harry ftw” he added when he saw me blush. He walked towards me, grabbed my waist so that my body was pressed against his.
He softly pecked my lips, our lips barely touched but my belly still exploded with little short pangs. Almost electricity. “Good morning” he breathed against my lips.
I really had no clue how to deal with this sort of things so I just blushed and looked away. He tried not to laugh at my reaction but a small smile escaped his lips.
“Let’s grab some breakfast” He let go of me, I quickly looked if I haven’t forgot anything.
“Pass me that book, please?” I motioned with my head to the nightstand.
He threw the book in my direction and I was so relieved I caught it, Harry would kill me if I ruined his book.
“Careful-l-l-l” I teased.
“You see anything that belongs to me here except my suitcase?” I asked seriously, not wanting to discover a few days from now that I forgot something in this fancy hotel room.
“Me?” He joked, but my heart stopped. I laughed nervously as I walked out of the door.
“Won’t you get attacked by fans?”
“Probably.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t?” I stopped walking and fixated my eyes on his back, waiting for him to turn around and look into my eyes.
“You don’t want to?” He did turn around, and for a second I thought I ‘d faint.
“I’m not that hungry.” I partly spoke the truth though.
“Oh, okay. We don’t have much time anyway.” He smiled nervously.
Louis, nervous?

“You never drank alcohol? Not even beer?” Harry asked unbelievably like I actually did something wrong.
“Go easy on her, Harry” Lou looked almost mad at Harry.
“Sorry, I’m just shocked.” He mumbled.
“So how old are you, love?” Lou asked me, ignoring Harry. Harry looked very frustrated by her action.
“nineteen” Louis answered before I could. I nodded to Lou and pointed at Louis.
“Yup, nineteen”
“Let me guess? Never had sex either” Harry grinned, thought he was joking.
“Harry!” Lou snapped irritating at Harry. “Leave the fucking girl alone.” She stood up and mouthed a ‘sorry’ to me before leaving.
“What did I miss?” Louis asked puzzled, grabbing a beer.
“She’s never enjoyed life.” Harry said before I could answer.
“Jeez, I can talk for myself!” I yelled frustrated and left as well.
“Babe, wait!” I paralyzed for a second by hearing the word ‘babe’ from Louis’ mouth. But I was too frustrated and mad at Harry that I didn’t listen. He didn’t know anything about my past, he has no right.
The bus was huge, but not enormous enough to hide.
“Come sit with us” Zayn said out of the blue. I didn’t even noticed Niall and Zayn sitting on the ground with a bunch of sheets and Niall’s guitar.
“What’re you guys doing?” I smiled.
“Writing a song for the new album, maybe you can help us.”
“I doubt that” I chuckled at the thought.
***
“What are you all doing?” I was sitting cross legged, bending over to write something down.
“She’s helping us with our song, she’s really talented.” Zayn didn’t even do effort to look up from the sheets surrounding us, occasionally writing something down and constantly discussing with Niall.
“They’re lying” I grinned and turned around to find Louis’ face a few inches away from mine.
“No kissing in public” Niall warned us, only giving us a second of his attention before returning back to Zayn and answering one of his question about the chords either being A or E minor .
“We weren’t about to” I turned around, expecting him to be in conversation with Zayn but instead I saw a smiling Niall, really looking happy.
“Why are you guys sitting on the ground?” Louis asked us and sat down on the bench behind me so I could rest my back against his shins.
“I don’t know, I came later” I let my head fall against his knees so I could see his face. He smiled adorably at me before looking at Zayn and Niall for an answer but they were discussing something about the song, so they didn’t pay any attention.
“Come sit here with me” I smiled and gave in because my back was hurting as hell. He grabbed my hips and pulled me in his lap before I could sit down beside him. I sucked in a breathe by the sudden touch.
He made a lame comment about Josh and Dan, who were gaming in the other room and it made me laugh like crazy. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me softly on my cheek. He kept his forehead a little longer against my cheek and after a minute maybe a little more he pecked my cheekbone once more before his warm, soft touch from his face left my right cheek.
It’s so weird he looks so rough with the tattoos and the big sass ego and stuff but now he’s like this little adorable ray of sunshine. I love him so much, I’ve never felt better with someone than I felt with Louis.
“Hey, Jess, help us out will you? We can’t seem to find any agreement.” Niall looked up and shocked a little as he saw Louis’ arm protectively wrapped around my waist, but recovered quickly.
“Sure” I couldn’t stop smiling. It almost hurt when he pulled my back closer against his chest. I had this knot in my chest that didn’t want to go away and I hated it but it felt so good at the same time.
“What should come after this verse?” Niall asked and gave me a piece of paper. I looked at it and let the words drown into my brain.
“Give me a minute”
“Okay” Zayn answered, stretching his arms above his head and closing his eyes while an innocent yawn escaped his lips.
***
“You guys finished the song?” Liam joined me and Louis on the bench. “You know Louis is asleep right?”
“I figured.” His head was resting against my back, his breath was too regularly and his hands weren’t wrapped around my waist, they were simply resting on my lap.
“He’s different around you” He noticed. It looked like he was just thinking out loud not really telling me. So I decided not to answer.
“Yea we did, you wanna read it?” Zayn asked. Niall already crept to the kitchen so he wasn’t here anymore. Liam took the papers from Zayn’s hand and started reading it.
“It’s incredible” His mouth almost hanging open.
“Jess wrote the chorus and this part.” Zayn pointed at some sentences on the paper, his eyes locked with mine, while giving me a reassuring smile.
“I love it, you’re so talented. Can’t we hire her to write another song?” He joked.
“You’ll get credit though for this one” Zayn said.
“I don’t want to.” I said quickly. Maybe a little too quickly.
“I want to.” I didn’t answer, he wouldn’t give in anyway.
Louis moved his arms tighter around my waist and a huge sigh escaped his lips. His breath heated my back. Soft shivers travelled down my spine, what made goosebumps spread all over my skin.
“Rise and shine sunshine” I laughed as I felt his head being lifted from my back.
“No word” He warned.
“Okay” I grinned.
“I said no wordddd” he poked my belly and I practically jumped 10 ft in the air.
“Don’t do that” I warned him, looking in his tired, fluffy eyes.
“What this?” He grinned and poked me again.
“Don’t be so childish, Louis” I laughed never leaving his stare.
“Hey girls” Zayn said so we both looked up. “We’re stopping for 45 minutes. Are you staying inside or are you coming? There’s a great pizzeria apparently.” I jumped off his lap hearing the voice ‘pizza’.
“We’re coming” I decided.
“If you don’t like pizza we could also eat..”
“Shut up” I hit him on the back, laughing at him as amusement spread all over his face.
“You’re pretty violent, stop hitting. It’s a crime you know beating the shit out of someone” I immediately dropped my smile.
“What’s wrong?” The amusement in his voice was immediately replaced by worry. Images of my dad beating me didn’t seem to leave and kept replaying in front of my eyes.
“No, no, no, baby , don’t cry” His voice was so soft and full of emotions.
I am not crying.
A sob escaped my lips. Okay I was.
“What have I done wrong?” he whispered as he hold me in his arms, caressing my back softly.
[A/N: Tired :( Hope you're all doing okay! x]
