I rolled over and turned Louis's phone alarm off.
"Good morning baby," I said softly, yawning and trying to sit up.
"Nope, don't you dare get up," he said without opening his eyes. His lips tugged into a tiny smile and his hands reached for me.
"We have to," I giggled as he grabbed me, pulling me down into his arms.
"All you have to do is pay taxes and die, even then you don't have to pay taxes." he blinked, his brilliant sea blue eyes opening, leaving me breathless like they always did.
"Oh, is that right?" I smiled, trying to get out of his arms and out of bed. He grabbed me around the waist and drew me back, his lips running up the curve of my shoulder. "Come on Louis, you still have to pack."
"I'm not letting you go," he said between kisses.
"You're flight leaves in a few hours." I protested, still trying to fight my way out of his arms.
"No! Why can't you come with me?," he wrestled me until I was pinned beneath him, my hands pinned over my head. He peppered my face with sweet, cute kisses until the smile on my face started to hurt.
"Because, you decided to date a plain, boring, uni student who has to stay home a study." I giggled. "And As much as I wish I could go with you, I just can't." He pouted and my heart broke, if only he knew just how much I wished I could go.
"I'm sure you would fit in my suitcase," He said lightly, looking over at his suitcase in the corner of the room and back at me. Measuring the two of us to each other. I shot him an exasperated look as he grinned, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "Just saying, your small enough," I stuck my tongue out at him and slowly got out of bed, throwing on a pair of sleep shorts and walking to the door.
"I'm going to go make us some tea," I opened the door, "And you better be up and packing when I get back." I winked at him and made my way down the hall to the kitchen.
I could smell bacon and coffee under my nose as I made my way to the kitchen. Scrunching up my nose I sniffed the familiar scent again and slowly turned the corner to find Harry wide-awake and making breakfast.
"Harry?" I asked, confused as to why he was up so early.
"Oh, hey El," He turned to me and smiled, "Breakfast?"
"Um, sure." I smiled and went to sit at the kitchen island bar.
Harry placed a plate full of French toast and bacon down in front of me. I stared at the French toast on the plate, in awe of the beautiful breakfast that Harry had cooked.
"Everything okay?" Harry asked me as he sat on the stool next to me and took a large bite from his plate.
"Yeah, I'm just amazed that you made this." I giggled and took a small bite, it tasted even better than it looked.
"I'm more than just a pretty face." He flashed a dimpled smile and I couldn't help but blush.
"Ya know, you're handling this all really well." He mumbled, stuffing his mouth with another bite of food.
"What do you mean?" I asked, sitting up a little bit.
"Well," He swallowed his food and took a sip of his coffee. "I mean, one day you're a regular girl and then you're shot into the spotlight."
"Has anyone every told you that you have a way with words?" I snorted.
"Oh fuck off," he laughed, "You know what I mean."
"Yeah I do." I smiled, "And, thank you."
Harry and I sat together and finished our breakfast. I admired Harry, he was the youngest in the group, but sometimes he seemed like the oldest. He was so sweet and caring, I never heard him complain about anything, he always seemed eager and happy about life. He was truly one of a kind and I enjoyed having him in my and Louis's life.
After breakfast with Harry I walked back to Louis's room with a full plate of French toast and a cup of tea. Kicking his door open I found Louis fully dressed and packing his suitcase that now sat on his bed.
"It's about time," he smiled over his shoulder at me.
"Sorry," I walked over towards him, "Harry made breakfast and we started talking." I sat the plate down on his dresser and went to sit on his bed beside his suitcase.
"Not thinking of leaving me for him are you?" He joked.
"I don't know," I blushed, "I've always had a thing for guys with dimples."
"El." Louis said with a stern look, taking a bite out of his food.
"Never." I winked and smiled at him.
Watching him pack was the hardest thing I have done in our relationship. I hated seeing all of the pieces of him slowly disappear from his room. I sat next to one of his suitcases on the edge of the bed. I had promised myself that I wouldn't let him see me cry, but a tear slipped out of my eye and down my cheek.
"Give ya ten pounds not to go," I said, trying to block him from putting another shirt in his rapidly growing suitcase. He grinned; his blue eyes alight with humor.
"Ten pounds, huh, that's almost too good to resist." He grabbed my forearms and lifted me from my spot on the bed.
"Okay, ten pounds and a free back rub," I upped the offer and he laughed harder at me, hair falling in his eyes.
"You drive a hard bargain, my love," he smiled zipping his bag and dropping it to the floor, surveying the room for anything he might have forgotten.
"I see I haven't convinced you. Ten pounds, a back massage and I'll wear my old school uniform for you." I smiled and bit my lower lip.
"You're a minx, but I have to go babe," His cheeks heated and started to turn scarlet in the light and I laughed in delight. He leaned down and kissed me, his mouth lingering over mine.
"But damn, that school uniform," he groaned.
"Don't go," I pouted. "Stay."
"I have too," he pulled away reluctantly, taking one last look at me flushed, "I think the fans would notice if there were only four members of One Direction"
"I guess you're right." I said and sat back.
"I love you, you know that right?" he asked softly, a smile came to my face.
"I do, and I love you too. As much as I don't want you to go, I know you have too. Just promise that you'll think about me."
"I'm always thinking about you." He kissed me again.
The rest of our morning was normal, full of laughter and love. We both promised ourselves that we wouldn't dwell on what was happening, but it was hard not too. The whole car ride to the airport was quite. At the airport I waited with Dani as the boys got checked in.
"It's hard at first, but it gets better, I promise." Dani said giving me a small smile.
"Yeah?" I questioned as I watched Louis mess around with the other boys from afar.
"But nothing is better than seeing him get off that plane after a few weeks away." She put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it. "I'm always here if you need someone." We shared a smile as the boys made their way back to us.
"Ready?" Louis asked, holding his hand out for mine. I nodded my head and took his hand. "So, Paul said you can only come as far as the security gate with us. I'm sorry." He said with a pout.
"It's okay." I said softly.
The closer we got to the security gate the tighter the grip we had on each others hands got. When we reached security, I stopped eyeing it warily. I knew I would see him again, and I thought I had prepared myself better for this moment, but I guess I was wrong.
"Do you have to?" I blurt before I could stop myself. I watched Louis stop and look at me, "I'm going to miss you too much." I pouted, wrapping my arms around him. "I thought this would be easy, but it's not."
Louis dropped his bag, and scooped me up into his chest. He pulled away and lightly traced his fingers down my cheek, I leaned into his palm. I knew then that this was going to be the worst part about his job, the only part I hated: saying goodbye to him. My eyes fluttered closed as he ran his thumb along my lower lip, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm not gone long." he said desperately, I nodded yes, trying to memorize him. "I'll come home to you. I swear it. You are home for me, there is no home for me without you." He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.
"Alright time to go." Paul said over our heads. We pulled apart.
"Be good, okay?" He said huskily. I wrapped my hand around his, bringing them to his lips.
"I always am. You behave." I giggled, trying to not be anymore upset than I already was.
"I love you, I love you, I love you," he mumbled.
"I love you back." I tried not to cry. I hated crying. It always made things harder. With a final press of his lips, he turned and ran towards the other boys.
Dani and I waited as they made it through security and waved to them one last time before leaving. We were almost at the door when I heard my name yelled in the crowd.
"Eleanor!" I turned to see Louis running towards me and started to giggle. The people around him all turned to look as he continued to yell my name and run, but he didn't seem to care.
"I'll meet you at the car." Dani whispered in my ear and I nodded to her.
My heart stopped as Louis approached me.
"Eleanor." He smiled, out of breath.
"Louis." I blushed, unable to hide how surprised I was. "Louis... What are you doing?"
"I just wanted one last kiss." He said, pulling me close to him and wrapping his arms around me. I opened my mouth to try to tell him he was going to miss his flight, but he pulled me tight and pressed his lips to mine.
"I love you." I whispered as he pulled away.
"I love you too." He smiled. "But I have a plane to catch."
"Go." I giggled, pushing him back towards his gate.
He quickly gave me one last kiss and ran back towards security. I crossed my arms and watched him go. My mouth curled into a smile and I knew that while I was here in England, my heart was on its way to Australia.
