Behind Her Smile [Louis]

“Nothing, I’m sorry” I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him softly away. “I’m sorry” I said again whilst wiping away my tears.
“Are you okay?” He whispered and pushed my hands gently away from my face. “Tell me what’s wrong” He begged softly. His thumbs were now stroking tenderly on my cheeks and his eyes were wide open never leaving mine.
“Let’s go get that pizza” I ignored his question and laughed softly. It sounded a little weird since the lump in my throat didn’t leave yet.
He placed his lips kindly against my forehead for a few seconds and then intertwined his fingers with mine. Without a word we entered the pizzeria.

“Jeez, Zayn was right. This pizza is delicious” I moaned softly. Louis wasn’t eating he was only looking at me with a constant smile on his face.
“Why aren’t you eating?” I furrowed my brows.
“I am not that hungry.” His smile faded for a second.
“I’ve got enough.” I sighed deeply. I won’t be able to eat for months.
Louis raised his hands waving at the waitress. She immediately walked in our direction but before she could say anything Louis asked for the bill.
She was around her twenties, was not that tall and had this beautiful brown curly hair.
“She’s so beautiful” I sighed out faintly. I didn’t notice I said that out loud until Louis turned his face away from me and looked at her.
“She is.” He stated and looked back to me.
“Stop staring” I almost giggled.
“Sorry” he smirked and looked at his full plate.
The waitress shoved the paper in front of our noses and smiled politely, she looked a little nervous when Louis looked up.
Louis took his wallet and before I could do something he gave the money to the girl.
“No!” I said a little too loud so that the girl turned around.
But Louis gave a nod in her direction so she could walk away.
I put a 20 £ in his hands and he immediately gave it back.
“Come on Louis, please” I begged.
“It wasn’t even that much.”
“You did already so much for me” We both stood up, me still with the money in my hand.
I shove it in his pocket of his jeans. He froze for a moment when my hand touched his bum.
“Please” I say when he noticed what I was doing.
“Urgh, fine” I smiled at my victory.
“Come here” he reached out for my hand. I sighed softly as I leaned with my side against his.
“We were longer gone than 45 minutes though”
“Don’t worry we won’t leave until another hour. Niall and Harry were in there anyway and it looked like they weren’t leaving soon.”
There were a few persons sitting on the couch and I let myself fall on the couch as well.
“Niall and Harry are still in the restaurant, right?” one of the guys asked. I’ve seen him before but I never caught his name.
“Yup” Louis said enthusiastically.
They had a small conversation while I looked at them, smiling a little at how hard they were laughing by such small things.
Louis placed his hand on my crossed legs in between one of his many fits of laughter.
“Why are they laughing?” Liam asked me as he entered the bus.
“I don’t know” I smiled honestly.
“How are you?” he sat down beside me.
“Fine, how are you?”
I wanted to be honest with him and tell him every single detail. How I feel so much better and how they can’t even imagine how they’re fixing my life. All of them, they’re better than angels. How it was before I met them. But I couldn’t, all though it was so difficult not to tell the truth to those warm brown eyes. They remind me so much on my brother’s.
“A little tired.” He sighed.
“I believe you are” I laughed thinking of how they were jumping on the stage a few hours ago.
I stiffened when he puts his head on my shoulder. Am I okay with this? I decided to ignore it.
“When is your next show?”
“In two days.” Liam answered sleepily.
I poked Louis’ side.
“Pass me that book please?” I asked when he turned his head in my direction.
Liam’s mouth left a deep sigh and moved his head from my shoulder to my lap. Oh. Okay. I uncrossed my legs so that he wouldn’t wake up.
Louis held my book out of my reach. “Louis seriously?” I laughed. “Come on, give it to me you’re waking up Liam”
“I don’t give a fuck” He answered with a big grin on his face.
“Louis!”
“Fine, you’re no fun” he pouted.
I grinned in return.
I opened my book and I let myself travel to a whole other world.
**
I felt Louis’ lips softly against my cheek.
“Where’s everyone?” I asked surprised. Even Liam wasn’t here anymore.. I didn’t feel Liam when he left my lap???
“Sleeping” He grinned.
“I’m going to bed too.. I’m exhausted.”
“No let me first in the bathroom” I stood up and ran towards the bathroom. I heard Louis’ laughter before I closed the bathroom door.
“You can come in” I said softly not sure if he could hear me, but apparently he did because the door opened.
“I still have to brush my teeth though. I’ll be gone in a minute”
“I don’t care” he pulled his shirt over his head from the second he got in. I tried to look away, but when he practically bend over me to grab his toothbrush I almost fainted.
He could barely hold his eyes open while he was brushing his teeth and it was adorable, I smiled at him through the mirror and his crinkles showed when he smiled back.
His free hand reached for my waist as he continued brushing his teeth, he tiptoed to put his chin on my head.
“Dork” I managed to bring out.
“If there’s toothpaste in my hair I won’t talk to you for the rest of the year.” I warned him.
“I’ll wait for you outside”
“I’m ready” He said quickly.
“Are you tired?” He asked sleepily.
“No, actually I’m not but I will –“
“Sleep with me” He cut me off.
“Uh I- I don’t … k-know-“
“Gosh, no not like that.” His cheeks flushed red.
“Okay” I saved him from this awkwardness.
“No sex in the bus” I heard Harry’s raspy voice mumble.
I laughed softly as Louis looked embarrassed in my eyes.
