The Hipsters and The Girl
Flight Buddies
Louis’s POV
“We go to Italy tonight right?” Alex asked me from the bathroom in our suite.
“Yea.” I was laying on the bed while she finished getting ready.
“Great.” I heard her sigh and turn off the light.
She walked out in a bright pair of jeans and a loose tank top holding her vans in her hand. I sat up on my elbows and watched her slip her shoes on and let her hair down from the messy bun it was in. She started packing her stuff up.
“You okay Lex?” I sat all the way up and swung my legs to the floor, still watching her.
“Yea, I just have a lot to do.” She seemed a little worried and I didn't know how to help. “I’ll be right back, I have to make sure everyone else is getting ready.”
“I’ll go check on them since I’m already packed.” I stood up and walked toward the door.
“Thanks Lou.” She smiled at me before I opened the door and left.
Alex’s POV
I hate airplanes. This is going to be terrible but it will only be like 2 hours, but still. Gosh, I wish I could just sleep through it but we have to work. That’s the only bad thing about this job.
I was sitting in my seat, worrying about the flight when Liam sat down next to me. He was holding a milkshake in a glass in one hand and the rest in the metal mixing cup.
“Which one do you want?” He held them up with a smile.
“This one.” I pointed to the metal cup while he handed it to me. “Thanks Lili, you're amazing.”
“You're welcome teeny.” He leaned over and kissed my cheek. “We should go into the meeting room, it’s probably about to start.”
“Can I sit here until we take off? Please?” I looked at him as he stood up.
“Sure, are you alright?” I love how sweet he was.
“I just don’t like planes, they scare me.” I shrugged moving back in my seat.
“I’ll sit with you then.” He sat down next to me.
We sat and talked for a few minutes until we were both done with our ‘shakes. I set my cup in the cup holder and crossed my arms over my chest. The stage manager walked over to us with a determined look on his face.
“We need you two in the other room.” He was snooty and I didn't like it and neither did Liam.
“You know it doesn’t start until we’re up so we’ll come in there in a few minutes.” Liam said matter-of-factly.
“Okay, I don’t need both of you I just need you Liam.” He rolled his eyes and looked at me. “You can wait out here.”
“I’ll go get Louis okay?” Liam looked at me and I nodded with a smile before he stood up and walked away.
They disappeared into the other room and Louis walked out less than a minute later. He had a smile on his face when he sat down next to me.
“Airplane nerves?” He asked buckling up.
“Yea.” I answered quietly as the captain announced that we were about to take off.
“Well, we’ll do it like we did when we were little.” He held out his hand for me to take.
“Hand in hand with our chins higher than our fear.” It was a saying our moms used to tell us.
He laughed as I slipped my hand into his, but instead of holding hands as friends, I entwined our fingers making his eyes shoot up to me. I smiled at him but he looked really confused. He looked away as the plane started moving and my stomach clenched.
“It’s okay angel, everything will be fine.” He was the only person that could ever calm me down when I felt like this.
“Thanks boo but please distract me. We can talk about anything, I honestly don’t care, just distract me.” I looked at him and saw him nod.
“Can we talk about the time when we went fishing and you jumped out of the boat to save me?” His smile was devious.
“Like I said, anything.” I laughed remembering the day. “Actually, let’s not talk.” He looked confused again.
I smiled and leaned over to kiss his cheek. He looked down at me with a sigh. I pulled my hand out of his and touched his cheek, making him face me so I could press my lips to his. He was obviously surprised so it took him a second to return the kiss. We pulled back, looked into each others eyes and smiled before kissing again. The look in his eyes was something I hadn’t seen since we were kids having fun. I leaned back and opened my eyes, he was already smiling at me.
“I miss doing that.” I mumbled under my breath.
“I do too but I want something more serious than what we used to have when we were younger.” He looked excited.
“Me too.” I whispered before pecking his cheek.
“Please excuse me, you are free to move around the cabin.” One of the flight attendants announce over the intercom.
“We should probably go in there.” I unbuckled and stood up shakily with Louis standing beside me.
“We go to Italy tonight right?” Alex asked me from the bathroom in our suite.
“Yea.” I was laying on the bed while she finished getting ready.
“Great.” I heard her sigh and turn off the light.
