MINE

Chapter 12-LITTLE BLACK DRESS

(LOUIS POV)

"I love you Lil Boo!" I kissed my little Loe on the screen as I say goodbye to him.  I try to sneak as much chatting  as I can everyday in between my busy schedule.

The production for our fourth album is in full throttle nowadays.  The lads and I are back in our London flat again and our schedule is a mayhem as usual.

I take that as a blessing in disguise because it diverts my attention to other things aside from Audrey.   It has been a couple of months now and yet my heart still hasn't gotten used to the idea of not being with her.  I haven't seen her since the initial videochat I had with her at my mother's house in Doncaster.  I think she is really avoiding me because whenever I do facetime with Loe, Audrey makes sure that it is only Loe on the screen every single time that I call.

Walking away from her has changed me somehow.  People say that I am more serious now.  The media said that being a father may have finally made me a man because I don't really go around making pranks anymore.  On stage, I still try to be "Louis the boy who doesn't want to grow up" but when I am not in front of the camera, I just can't bring myself to laugh the way I used to.  I have no reason to laugh at the highfalutin mess I am in.  Everything in my life is a fucking show.

Zayn walked into the kitchen and took some juice from the fridge.  He sat opposite me at the counter. He looked at me and grinned.

"too early for a freakin'  frown twat." He joked while reaching out for the bread basket to get a bagel.

"I'm not frownin' dimwit.  I was just surprised with what you have done to your hair, ran out of hair products today,yeah? Zayn the vain!"

Zayn and I banter from time to time.  He is really trying so hard to comfort me even if he doesn't know what has really happened.  He doesn't ask, he just waits for me to open up.  I am glad that he respects my privacy enough. Maybe One day, I will tell him.

"Yeah. because you and the lads touched my products again!replace everything you took!" He rolled his eyes as he chew a mouthful of bagel.

"I bought some but still in my bedroom though."  Niall said.  He walked in and went straight to the fridge looking for food.  The food monster is hungry yet again.  He was just eating about 30minutes ago.

"Is there no food?  I want omelettes." The blond boy looked at me and Zayn.

"You just finished the pizza a few minutes ago. Zayn got some bagels." I pointed to Zayn who is hugging the bread basket.

"Nah-ah! these are mine! you can't touch it since you ate all the pizza." He tapped hard at Niall's hand as our resident glutton attempted to get some.

"But that will go with the omelette!" Niall cried and then he grinned when Harry walked in.

"What? why are you grinning like a scheming leprechaun?" Harry asked As Niall smiled and gave him puppy eyes.

"you are looking so fit these days, Hazzabear." Niall said as he looks at a shirtless Harry.  For sure, blondie wants something from curly.

Harry frowned, "What do you want this time, Irish?"

Niall chuckled, "can you make some omelettes? the one with ham and cheese.you make good eggs!"

Harry smirked but went to the stove to cook the eggs.  He seems to be in a good mood nowadays.  When he came back from Hongkong, he was really moody and grumpy.  He was always on the phone, either texting or calling someone.

I wanted to ask him if it's Audrey that he is talking to constantly but then I chickened out, mostly because I'm afraid to know that she talks to him and not to me.
