His Bandmate

I tuck my jacket closer to my body as I walk down the street. It's gotten so cold and my winter jacket, scarf and beanie doesn't cut it. I look at the sparkling lights hanging over my head and all the way down the street. I can't believe it's december all ready. Time goes so fast. All the shops has their windows filled with christmas decorations and wonderful lights everywhere. I love this time of year just because of all the lights. It get so cozy. I smile and try to enjoy the night, despite the cold air.

Just because the calendar turns december it seems like everyone gets christmas crazy. People stress down the street, like their out buying christmas presents in the last minute, though it's a couple of weeks left. I almost get nocked over by a man rushing down the street, pushing me away. I yelp as I take a grip of the garbage bin on the side of the sidewalk to steady myself. I shake my head in irritation before I continue walking. I don't get why they all have to be in such a hurry, stop and look up at all the amazing lights hanging over you head! Maybe they will give you some peace, because all that stress won't do you no good.

I step into the building, shivering a little as I press the elevator button. I always feel nervous when I'm here, it effects my stomach enormously, though it also excites me a little. I pull my beanie off and quickly knock on the door and wait for it to open. As the door open I feel my cheeks hurt from the cold as a grin appears on my face.

“Hey, I didn't know you would come by.” Louis smiles as me, pulling me inside by the front of my jacket.

“I just came by to do this.” I say and wrap my arms around his neck before pressing my cold lips against his warm ones. He holds me close with his arms around me core and I instantly feel warmer as our lips move together in a longed for kiss.

“Well, that was nice of you.” He says cheekily as he pulls away slightly.

“I had too. I won't be able to stay tonight.” I say and Louis pout very cutely.

“Why?” He stroke his nose against mine and his warm skin tingles against my cold one.

“I have to open the bakery tomorrow.” I run my hand through the hairs in the back of his head. I love how he makes my inside all bubbly. We've spent most nights together lately, except from when I start to work early or he has band-things.

“Fine. Are you going right now?” He ask and I can feel his hands move to my hips and that longing goes through me. I bite my lip before nodding and I push him down to lock our lips again. Louis quickly slips his tongue into my mouth and a moan slips through mine as our tongues meet. He pushes me up against the wall beside the door and pushes his hips against mine. I can clearly feel the growing bulge in his pants and my breathing gets heavier.

“Lou...” I pull away and pant as his lips move down my throat. “Please.” I beg him and he pulls back, looking into my eyes again and smirk.

“Fine, go.” He whispers as he step back and leave me leaning against the wall, my knees already weak. Both of us are panting pretty heavy by now. I take a deep breath before I shake my head and smile before I open the door and step out. I look back to see Louis lick his lips and I have to force myself out of the door. “See you soon.” I say before I close it.

I step into the elevator and fix my hair in the elevator mirror as I ride down. I make sure that I look normal before stepping out and knocking on the next door. Liam open up with a huge smile.

“Hi Juli!” He say as he pulls me in for a hug.

“Hi.” I kiss his cheek before starting to pull my jacket off.

“Come on in.” He says and take the jacket from me and hang it up. It's warm in his apartment and I feel the cozy feeling as I step into the living room. “You want hot chocolate?” He ask and I grin big.

“Yes please. It's freezing outside.” I say and follow him into the kitchen. “I'm first?” I ask as Liam takes out two mugs from the cabinet.

“Yeah, you're always the only one on time.” He chuckles as he pours the hot beverage that he's prepared. I take the outstretched mug in my hands as we walk into the living room. We sit down on the couch beside each other and I pull my legs up to cuddle my side against the couch so that I'm facing Liam. He pulls down the blanked of the back and wrap it over my legs. I sigh in contentment as I slowly get warmer as I sip the very hot drink.

“So how are you?” I ask as Liam sets his feet up on the table.

“I'm good. Though it always feels lonely this time of year you know?” He say and I feel a little guilty for not feeling that. I feel everything but lonely right now.

“Yeah..” I lie, giving him a small smile. “So it didn't work out with her...eh...what was her name?” I ask, biting my lip in embarrassment. I'm so bad at remembering names and Liam hasn't really talked too much about her with me. He chuckles a little.

“Emelie.” He say and nod. “No, it wasn't right. I didn't really feel it with her.” He say, looking sad and I wish I could do something to wipe that sad face away. Liam is really a guy that deserves a girlfriend and I think he would be a good boyfriend. I really hope he can find someone that he fits perfectly with.

“Don't worry, you will find someone when the time is right. You're a catch!” I say and take a sip of my chocolate, it's so good.

“Oh, yeah?” He says raising his eyebrows. “Don't flirt with me, you know how mad Harry will get.” He winks at me. I roll my eyes at him. Everyone knows about Harry's back-off rules by now. He's made them very clear. It's weird. I don't know where he gets the authority to decide who I see, but apparently he think he does. He should only know...

“Yeah, yeah. He's a little strange that one.” I say, shaking my head as Liam laughs.

“Finally found that out, huh?” He grins as he puts his cup down on the table. “Someone should put him in his place.” He say as we hear the door open and some chatter.

“Hello?” We hear Niall shout before stepping into the living room with Harry in his tracks.

“Hey!” Liam say and I smile at them. Harry narrows his eyes at us on the couch and I sigh, he's unbelievable. Why can't he just leave it be? I do the first thing thinkable and move closer to Liam as I push the blanked over his legs and my arm around his shoulder, cuddling closer to him. He laughs loud at Harry's expression.

“We have something to tell you guys...” I say shrugging as Liam loud laughs fill the room. Niall is barking pretty good him too as Harry roll his eyes.

“Not funny.” He mumble as he sits down on the couch opposite us.

“What do you mean?” Liam fake innocent as he put his hand on my knee, making small circles with his fingers. I snicker at the horrid expression on Harry's face. He's pretty red by now. It's not like he's jealous, he acts more like I'm his possession and no one else can touch me.

Suddenly Louis steps into the room and his eyes instantly lands on us and then the hand on my knee. I feel myself flinch a little, but hoping that Liam won't notice. Louis eyebrows raise as he looks around the room.

“Well this is new.” He mumbles, before sitting down in one of the chairs. I lock eyes with him and I think I see some feeling flow through them, maybe envy? Then he looks over at Harry and a smirk brightens his face. Thank god! I was scared that he would get mad or something. “You guys look adorable together. Just perfect!” He say towards me and Liam with so much falseness in his voice and it makes Harry groan and all of us laugh.

Liam pull the blanket of his legs before standing up.

“Refill?” He ask me and hold his hand out for my mug and I nod and smile at him. He takes his mug with him too into the kitchen. Suddenly Harry sits down beside me, taking Liam's seat. I shake my head at him.

“You know you're ridiculous?” I ask, raising my eyebrows.

“You don't know these guys like I do.” He say, shaking his head. “I've been on tour with them. It's not pretty.” He say in pretend disgust.

“Oh really?” I ask, my eyes sneaking a peak at Louis, who is smirking a little.

“Like what? Tell me something that would keep me away from them?” I ask, smiling big. Harry runs a hand through his hair.

“Oh this one farts like hell and they ain't pretty.” He say and point to Niall who chuckles.

“She already knows that.” Louis point out and I nod.

“Yeah, I've hung around Niall already.” I say and smile. “What about Liam?” I ask, really wanting to know what he's going to say, but mostly I want to know what he's going to say about Louis.

“Liam is way to controlling for you, you will get sick of him immediately. I know how you are with your woman power.” He say and smirk towards me as I roll my eyes.

“And Louis?” I ask, feeling Louis's eyes on me as I bite my lip.

“Oh, Louis is definitely not for you. He'll flirt with every girl he sees on tour.” Harry say and chuckle. I gaze over at Louis who is pinching the bridge of his nose. “Probably sleep with them too.” Harry chuckles. His comment things a little, but not as much as I thought it would.

“Fuck you, mate!” Louis says to Harry, glaring at him. “Just because I did that on the last tour doesn't mean I will on the next one.” He says, trying to make it sound easy and careless, but I hear the trueness in it. Harry shrugs.

“Maybe, but probably. Since when can you be without a girl?” Harry ask and Louis roll his eyes.

“Fuck you.” Louis says quiet. “Maybe I should fuck Juli just to prove a point.” He mumbles, his voice filled with irritation and my eyes widen. So does Harry's.

“What did you say?” Harry leans forward, like he's about to attack Louis and I hold his shoulder to calm him down. What the hell is Louis doing?

“Nothing.” He sighs, but Harry stays tense. Liam comes into the room with a tray filled with cups of hot chocolate. I give him a small smile as he looks around the room with asking eyes, clearly feeling the tension in the air. He puts the tray on the table before handing out the cups.

“So, what's going on?” He ask as he sits down on the couch where Harry sat before. When nobody answers I decide to.

“Nothing. Just testosterone overflow. Guys being idiots.” I shrug and smirk, trying to lighten the mood. Niall chuckles at least and Liam smile at me. When Liam ask Louis something I lightly hit Harry's shoulder.

“Quit it.” I whisper at him and he looks at me innocently.

“What? He can't just say that, I have the right to defend you.” He says low, looking irritated.

“First of all, I can defend myself, and secondly you weren't that nice to him to start with, so why should he be to you?” I ask, raising my eyebrows. Harry doesn't answers, he just stares at me before sighing in defeat. “Be nice. Don't ruin this night.” I say before I move back, no longer leaning against Harry like I did. I feel irritated with him for reacting the way he does. He's not my boyfriend or a protective brother. He can't decide who I date or fuck. He has nothing to do with the matter. I have to put my food down, I can't let him keep going or it will get out of hand.

He sighs beside me, pulling his hairs through his hair as I sip on my chocolate. I'm thankful when Zayn shows up and interrupts the bad tension.

“Hey man!” Liam greets him as he walks around and fist bumps the guys. I stand up to give him a kiss on the cheek before I sit down again, ignoring Harry beside me. I pick my phone up as I feel it vibrate. I pull my knees up and hide the phone against them so Harry doesn't see the screen.

From Louis
I'm sorry.

I blink a couple of times, forcing myself not to look up at him, since I can feel his eyes on me.

To Louis
I know. He's a bit too much. But please don't fuel him up.

From Louis
I won't. I'm sorry. Want an I'm-sorry-kiss?

I smile and hate it because that's exactly the reaction that he wanted. Because he knows that he can't just walk over and kiss me. He could, but we've just experienced some of Harry's anger when it comes to me and guys, so that would probably be a death-mission.

To Louis
No thanks. I'm good after my and Liam's make-out session.

I bite my lip, trying not to laugh as I hear Louis start to couch, swallowing his chocolate wrong. I look up at him through my eyelashes and he narrows his eyes at me.

From Louis
Oh, now you're just asking for it. You're so going to get punished for that.

To Louis
I look forward to it. Already getting wet.

I sip on my hot chocolate, trying to focus on the chatter going on around us, the others are busy in a conversation that I have no clue on that it is. I look down on my lap when I feel my phone vibrate.

From Louis
Oh god, don't do that to me here.

I bite the inside of my cheek as I look up to find him staring at me before moving his eyes to Liam and try to make it look like he's involved in the conversation too. I feel my cheeks heat a little at the longing in his eyes and I feel it too.

To Louis
Why? Here's a good place as any other?

I love having this power over him, though I know that he has the same over me. I can actually feel myself getting damp in my panties just thinking about it. It's kind of exciting to text with him as the guys are here, it feels forbidden.

From Louis
I can't have a boner with the guys here!!

“So should we get started?” Liam ask, pulling me out of my phone-trance. Everyone agrees and Liam stand up to fetch one of his caps on a side table. “I've already put everyones name in.” He says holding up the cap filled with small folded papers. We had decided to do secret santa for our little christmas celebration after christmas. I'm glad, because I would never afford buying them all a gift. “Ladies first.” He say and hold the cap towards me. I dig my hand in and ruffle around before I pick one. I hold the paper securely in the palm of my closed hand as the others dig into the cap and choose theirs. I feel nervous all of a sudden, not sure what the hell I should by any one of these guys. This is going to be hard.

We all look at each other with smirks before we, at the same time, look at our little folded paper. My hands actually shaking as I unfold mine.

Niall.

Hmm... What the hell am I going to buy him? I fold the paper and look up, seeing the others think hard too. I wonder who got my name.

“What about Perrie?” I ask loud, looking at Zayn. He pulls out the last paper in the cap and winks.

“I take it to her.” He says and smile.

“Oh, you're so gonna cheat!” I say and snicker. We've said that we are not suppose to tell anyone who we got, just to make it more fun.

“They're gonna get married, they don't have any secrets.” Liam say and chuckle.

“Yeah, I believe that one.” I say sarcastically and take another sip of my hot chocolate.

“Of course they don't. Any good relationship don't. Just like us.” Harry say and smirk towards me. I raise my eyebrows, first of all because he is trying to make me not as irritated at him as I feel and because that is total bullshit.

“Sure, sure. I don't have any secrets from you.” I say, my eyes wide with excessive falsehood as I look away, hiding my face behind my cup. Making fun of him. He drops his chin and his mouth is hanging open and the other guys chuckle.

“What? You have secrets? What secrets?” He ask, sounding offended and pouting like a child. My eyes instantly move to Louis who is watching us, his head leaning in his hand. He gives me a small smirk.

“I can't tell you that, then it won't be a secret anymore.” I say and smile.

“Tell me!” He whines like a kid.

“No.” I put down the cup on the table.

“Tell me. Tell me!” He begs and I snicker.

“Fine, I'll tell you a secret.” I say and think about what to tell him. It have to be something none important. I lean closer to him and whisper in his ear with a grin.

“I'm wearing the same socks for the second day in a row.” I tell him, knowing that he will laugh and so he does, loud. I haven't had time to do laundry for a while.

“We've all done that.” He say and laugh and the others are watching us with curious eyes.

“What, what?” Niall ask, almost bouncing on the couch.

“Wore the same underwear several days in a row.” Harry say and chuckle.

“Socks! Not underwear you idiot!” I say feeling my cheeks heat as I hit his shoulder. “I'm not that disgusting.” I add, more for the others because I don't want them to think that I wear my panties several days in a row. That would be nasty.

“I've done it. You just turn them inside out.” Harry chuckles at my disgusted expression.

“I'd rather go commando.” I say frowning.

“Yeah, me too.” Louis says loud and I raise my eyebrows in shock. He's agreeing with me in front of the others? Wow. That's pretty brave. “I'm doing it right now!” He says cheekily and Niall burst into laughter. I don't know how to respond to that, should I fake disgust or should I just sit quiet and simmer in the way that information kind of turns me on? All the other guys chuckle at Louis and as I lean forward towards my cup on the table I sigh.

“You and me both.” I say and it gets quiet in the room. I look up and raise my eyebrows and look around the room at the guys, everyones eyes on me as I smirk. Niall brakes the silence by laughing again and I turn towards him and snicker.

“That's kind of hot.” He says and Harry groan beside me. When I look over he doesn't look happy.

“Oh, shut up! I'm just fucking with you.” I say as I push his shoulder. That makes the other laugh also, all but Harry who narrows his eyes at me and I roll my eyes. I realize that I've done that a lot tonight. Harry's bringing the eye-rolling side out of me. But then again, he is being ridiculous. I look down at my phone as I feel it vibrate against my leg.

From Louis
That just made my d*ck twitch.

I roll my eyes again before replying.

To Louis
I can think of a lot of things to make it do that.....

“Who are you texting?” Harry asks, looking over my shoulder and I turn the screen off.

“Just my dad.” I say and feel my cheeks heat a little at the lie.

“Oh, say hi from me.” He say and I nod, sneaking a peak at Louis who is covering his mouth with his hand as his eyes look from Harry to me. I can see the smirk from here.

From Louis
Stop teasing! But you sure can call me daddy later... or yelling it.

I roll my eyes and doesn't reply back. I stand up instead. It kind of made me hot, his words and I hate that I won't see him tonight.

“Time for me to head home. I have to get up way too early tomorrow.” I say and look around me at the guys.

“Why?” Niall ask, looking disappointed.

“Have to work, you know the thing that makes the bills get paid.” I say and smirk. Liam stands up as I move towards the doorway to the living room.

“It was nice that you came. Hope you got my name in secret santa.” He says cheekily as I snicker.

“You'll see.” I say secretly. “Thanks for the hot chocolate.” I say and kiss his cheek. “Bye guys!” I say, doing a big wave at them all, not feeling like walking around and hugging them all. My eyes lock with Harry's for a second.

“Cab.” He says and points at me.

“Mhmm...” I answer noncommittally. I don't want to argue with him, but I won't take a cab, because honestly I don't have the money. I bought toilet paper for my last money. I've wasted too much of it on shit and now I have nothing left, and I won't get my paycheck for another week. I know that Harry would pay for it if I asked, but I can't do that. I don't want to use him for his money, never. I smile at him before my eyes move to Louis a second before I walk out to the hall. His eyes are narrowed at me, but I ignore it.

I put my clothes on and shout another bye before I head out the door. I groan as I step out of the apartment building seeing that it's raining. I pull my hood up and wrap my arms around myself to keep warm. It's so cold and now I'm going to get wet. It's only three degrees and the rain feel like ice drops hitting my face. I walk down the street, wishing I was home. I don't even have money for the bus – that's how poor I am right now. It's going to take me at least an half hour to walk home and I'm already cold as ice.

I sigh and continue walking. There are a lot of cars out but not many people, probably because of the pouring rain. I hate every car that drive by, feeling envious for them. After about teen minutes I get irritated with a car that's driving by, honking like a maniac. I don't look up because that will cause more rain on my face. I'm already drenched. Yeah, yeah, I'm walking in the rain. Leave me alone!

But they don't and then I give up and look to the street and stop in my tracks as I see the car. The car stops as I do, the window on the side window is down and I would recognized that car anywhere. Louis's car.

“Get in!” He shouts through the rain. I stand still in shock before jolting back into reality and sprint to the car, opening the door and hoping into safety. He drive down the street as I buckle in, my hands numb by the cold and my teeth chattering. Louis turn the heat up to max and look over at me, sitting like a drenched cat. I sigh in relief as I realize that I don't have to walk the rest of the way, I would have died on the way. I'm probably being a little dramatic, but that's how it feels.

“Why didn't you get a cab?” Louis ask, taking a turn. I shrug when he looks over at me and bite my lip. I don't want to tell him, it's a bit embarrassing not to have money. I hate talking about money and I don't want to be a burden to people.

“You could have just asked you know. If it's the money.” He say, apparently knowing me all to well already. I sigh.

“Yeah, in front of the guys?” I ask irritated, because I don't want to have this discussion.

“No but you could have said something earlier or asked Harry, he'd pay without thinking about it.” He say and I can feel his eyes on me, but I keep mine on the road. I know he would, that's part of the problem.

“I don't want your money.” I say low, crossing my arms across my chest. I really hate talking about money.

“It's n-” He starts, but I interrupt him.

“No. Just drop it.” I can feel my eyes stinging with irritation. Money really ruin things. Both having it and not having it. I haven't had too much of a problem with it before, but now since I hang with these guys, my expenses has increased. Not that weird since they live across town and live a life filled with money.

Shit, I should do some extra shifts at work to get money for christmas. I know dad will pay for most of it, but I still have to buy him and Niall a gift, beside I don't want my dad to pay for everything. He's visiting me, so I should pay for some of it. I'm a grown woman.

Louis stops outside my apartment building and turns the car off.

“You're coming up?” I ask in surprise.

“Yeah, I'm not driving back in this weather.” He say and look outside at the falling rain, it has picked up. We open the doors and run towards the apartment and I shake off the rain as we step into my apartment.

As I've gotten my jacket and shoes off, Louis pulls me by my shoulder towards him and wrap his arms around my shoulders. I lean my cheek against his chest and rest my arms on his lower back. I shiver in my wet clothes and his arms feels so warm. I feel my irritation for him slowly slip away.

We stand quiet for a couple of minutes, just breathing each other in.

“I'm sorry for Harry.” I mumble against his chest. I feel his chest vibrate as he chuckles.

“Yeah, aren't we all.” He says against my hair. “I'm sorry if you got upset by what he said.” He says low and I know that he's talking about the comment about him sleeping around on tour.

“It's fine. I know that was then.” I say and look up at him, resting my chin on his chest. He brush some hair from my face and I close my eyes and lean my head into his warm palm.

“You should get out of these wet clothes.” Louis says cheekily and his hands run down my back, slipping into my pants, going down to my butt. He gasps. “I though you said you were kidding?” He ask, his eyes wide.

“Did you see Harry's face? I though he was going to have a brain bleed, I had to say that.” I smirk up at him before copying his movements and push my hands into his pants, brushing the naked flesh of his butt. Louis grin wide before leaning down and softly kissing me.

We are really weird, but apparently just as weird. Both going commando.
