Hey! I'm back with another chapter. Thanks for putting up with these slow updates. I've been really busy, especially with school and family stuff. The new semester just started and I have some really hard classes right now. Also, From now on I will most likely be updating about every 4 weeks. This chapter is dedicated to @muskuteers Go read her book Twitter Questions!
The last few days have been crazy. Between recording new songs, and promoting the new album, I haven't had much time to spend with the boys. They're extremely busy too, so it's hard to find time. It doesn't help that every time I do have a break, I just want to sleep and rest. That's me, the lazy lady at home. Although, no one with my profession can be considered the least bit lazy.
This was one of those rare moments of peace. I was sitting on my couch, lost in thought. Suddenly, the sound of Louis' high-pitched scream broke me out of my thoughts. I picked up my phone, wondering when Louis had changed my ringtone, and making a mental note to change it later. "When did you change my ring tone?" I asked, not bothering to say hello.
"I missed that annoying voice. Oh and I believe it was that night I was over at your place. Guess I haven't called recently. You like it?" He replied, also skipping the overly used greeting.
"Love it." I said, sarcasm evident in my voice.
"Good. Sooooo, I was wondering if well um..." He voice faded off as he considered what to say next.
"Out with it! What do you want?"
"No need to be rude. I was getting there."
"Well get there faster." I said, growing more and more impatient.
"Impatient are we? Well anyway, would you mind if the boys and I stayed at your place for a bit?" He asked.
"I thought you're staying at that really nice hotel? What made you decide to leave it?" I inquired.
"Well, it wasn't really our choice." He nervously giggled on the other end of the line.
"Do I even want to know?" I asked, already knowing I probably didn't want to know.
"Long story so probably not. In short, it involved the concierge, a water gun battle, roller skates, and a hole in the wall."
"Don't forget the part when you hit the guy painting the lobby, and spilled paint all over the white marble floor." I heard Niall pipe up somewhere on the other end of the line.
"And how is this supposed to make me want to let you live in my house?"
"It's not. But you're still going to let us stay with you because we're awesome and you love us." He informed me, somewhat pleadingly.
"Fine, but if you ruin anything, I will not only kick you out, but also get a restraining order against all five of you."
"Great! We're on our way. See you very soon." Louis said, a hint of mischief in his voice.
Just as I hung up, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to see all five boys surrounded by their luggage on my doorstep. "How did you know I'd say yes?" I asked as I let them in.
"I didn't. My plan was to beg if you didn't."
"Darn it. I should've said no. What I'd do to see that."
"Too bad. You already said yes." He said it as he stuck his tongue out at me.
"Don't make me regret it."
I showed them to their rooms. Luckily I had enough extra bedrooms for all of them. Sometimes I get a lot of houseguests, so I'm always prepared. It also helped that my house was practically a mansion. It might actually be nice having them here. It can get kind of lonely being alone in this house. Plus, now I would finally have more time to get to know the boys a bit better. As soon as I got to know them more, I would tell them who I really am. It doesn't really matter if they know, but I couldn't risk them telling the press. You never know what someone might do.
I was sitting on my bed, picking up where I left off with the daydreaming. I plugged my ear buds into my phone and closed my eyes as Adam Lamberts overpowering voice came on.
When the stars are too cold
Frozen over the glow
On the edge of the night
We can be their light
So give me more than your touch
And give yourself to the rush
Just keep holding my hand
As we're taking off
I know where we'll land
We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down
Through the dark there's a way
There's a love, there's a place
Where we don't have to hide
We can dream all night
So follow me through the sky
And watch the oceans collide
Just keep holding my hand
As we're taking off
I know where we'll land
We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
And I'll lay you down, lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down
Oh, we don't need any diamonds or gold
Watch the mystic and cryptic unfold
As we fly high
Ooooooh ey, ey, ey ey
We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
And I'll lay you down, lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down
I'll lay you down, lay you down
I'll lay you down, lay you down
I was finally feeling relaxed when, as if I was cursed, someone knocked on my door. "Must I always be interrupted?! What did I do to deserve this?!"
"Sorry... I can come back later." Lou said as he opened the door.
"Oh, it's you. It's ok. What is it?"
"Nothing much. I just came to thank you for letting us stay."
"You're welcome, but what's the real reason?"
"What?! I can't even be nice without you questioning my motives?" I gave him a pointed look, and he continued, "Ok, so maybe there is something. I know I've already asked a lot of you, but I have one more thing."
"I'm listening."
"Well, Eleanor was suppose to stay with us at the hotel. She already bought her ticket, so I was wondering if you might let her stay here too?" He said the last part with his signature puppy dog look. I couldn't help give in. It was just one more person. I had never met Eleanor in person, so I didn't have anything against her. She seemed super sweet, and like a good person. That being said, I wasn't sure if Louis and Eleanor were right for each other. It wasn't my place to get involved, so I decided to stay quiet about it.
"Sure, why not. As the protective best friend, I'd like to get to know her better."
"Don't get too crazy. Lottie scared her when they first met because she was playing the protective role."
"Haha! I'll try not to go too overboard. So when does she land?" I asked.
"She comes tomorrow at 11pm"
"Well aren't you the master of late notice."
"I try." He said with a cocky smirk.
"Now get out of here, I have to prepare for yet another houseguest." I ushered him out the door before he could ask for anything else. Finally, peace and quiet.
***BEEP BEEP BEEP***
I rushed down the stairs, not even a minute after Louis had left, to find Niall holding a burnt bag of popcorn, smoke poring out of it.
"What are you doing just standing there? Take it outside!" I yelled at the poor kid that was just trying to make himself a snack. This was going to be a long few weeks. It is just a few weeks right?
"How long did you say you're staying for again?"
"We didn't say."
"That's why I can't remember. So...?" I questioned further.
"That eager for us to leave? Yikes!" Louis chuckled as he continued, "Probably just until we finish recording here in Los Angeles. Then, we'll be back to the UK."
"Ok. That's not too bad. Well anyway, good night boys." I turned and left. Just before walking up the stairs to my room I added, "Oh and anyone who disturbs me before 10 O'clock in the morning is getting accidentally locked out."
Thanks for reading! Please let me know what you thought of this chapter in the comments section. The song in this chapter was Nirvana by Adam Lambert. I also made a new book that is a collection of all of the covers I have made for other wattpad users. If you would like me to make you a cover, DM me or comment on the book called "Covers." (I know, I know. It's a very creative title.) Also, just in case you didn't read the authors note at the beginning, I will be updating about every 4 weeks. I'm sorry I can't update more often. :)
