When I Think About You
New York
"Lillian Jane Tomlinson, wake up! WAKE UP!" Louis yelled as he jumped on the bed like a raging lunatic. I cracked an eye open and frowned up at my idiotic brother.
"What?" I hissed before closing my eye again.
"It's time to get up. We're leaving in two hours. And you take years in the bathroom." He answered before shaking me awake; to no avail. I groaned and rolled on my side before grabbing Zayn's pillow and placing it over my face.
"Where's Zayn?" I asked groggily.
"He's taking a shower. I would've asked him to wake you up, but that would just result into a snogging session. No one wants to be eternally scarred by that." Louis answered before yanking the pillow off my face; but, my iron grip on it made it impossible to take. So, Louis opted for the one that I was laying on. Then, he started pummeling me with it which made me bolt upright and glare at my older brother.
"Come here, Louis." I said with a sickly sweet smile which made even my own skin tingle.
"What have I done?" He whispered and dropped the pillow before running out of the room whilst screaming his head off. I giggled and checked my reflection in the mirror; messy hair, puffy eyes, pale face.. Oh, this is gonna be awesome.
I got out of bed and headed over to the coffee table before picking up a dinner knife and walking into Louis and Harry's room. I tilted my head to the side and plastered a scary grin on my face.
"Come here, Louis. I'm gonna kill you. This won't hurt a bit." I said through the grin; which, in all honesty, hurt like hell. You try it.
"AAAAAH! What have you done!?" Harry screamed in terror before shoving Louis off his bed and dashing off into Niall and Liam's room. Louis looked up at me from his place on the floor with pure terror on his face.
"You have 5 seconds. 4.. 3.." I counted down. Lou got the hint and ran into the other room. I followed them; purposely squaring my shoulders and limping as if my foot was broken.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Niall screamed when he saw me. He hid behind Liam and all of them backed away with every step I took towards them.
"What have you done, Lou!?" Harry screamed frantically at Louis who was close to crying.
"I don't.. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry." He started apologizing which made me let out a really loud laugh before placing the knife down on the coffee table in the room.
"You guys are so easy!" I said through my bouts of laughter.
"Well, you looked really scary!" Niall defended.
"Did I? I thought I looked really pretty." I answered sarcastically.
"Next time let Zayn wake her up." Liam chastised Louis who was huddled in the corner. Lou just nodded and I couldn't help but feel bad about scaring my brother like that. Well, not really. HAHA.

"We own the night..oh-oh-oh-oh." I sang loudly as I draped an arm around Lou's shoulders; which was hard to do, considering the fact that he's taller than me.
"If we have to put up with.. THIS.. for the whole flight, I'm switching flights now." Harry teased. I looked at him over my shoulder and poked my tongue out at him.
"Lil gets air sick. She's gonna pipe down soon." Liam murmured which made me turn around and punch his arm.
'Fuck you. That was supposed to be a secret." I hissed at him.
"You get air sick?" Niall asked.
"I just get dizzy. Liam the liar." I blew raspberries at Liam and turned to Zayn who was drinking coke.
"Ooh, soda!" I said chirpily before taking the can out of his hand and gulping down what I could.
"Come on, kids. We're gonna be late for our flight." Louis said and ushered us onto the boarding area. I handed my ticket to the flight attendant and she checked it before pointing me to my seat. Goodie, a window seat. I half-ran towards my seat and, sadly, tripped over my two feet; causing me to tumble forward. Luckily, someone wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me up before I could do a face plant. I looked up and saw that it was none other than Zayn.
"Thanks, babe." I said softly before offering him a smile.
"Do I have to carry you to your seat?" He joked which made me hit his chest lightly.
"Damn you." I said through laughs before walking over to my seat and plopping down on it. Zayn sat down beside me and laced our hands together.
"What do you want to do for this very long flight?" He asked as the flight attendants shut the overhead compartments.
"I don't know. Maybe.. read?" I suggested with a shrug.
"You'll get dizzier if you read. How about you catch up on some sleep while I just sit here and take a nap?" Zayn suggested which made me grin.
"That's the most awesome thing I've heard all morning." I said and let out a yawn that I'd been stifling for over two and a half hours now. So, I leaned my head on Zayn's shoulder before closing my eyes and drifting off to la la land.

"New York!!!!
Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of,
There's Nothing You Can’t Do,
Now You're In New York!!!
These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New,
The Lights Will Inspire You,
Let's Hear It For New York, New York, New York" Louis sang in a very horrible voice which made me stir in my sleep. Something poked my shoulder and I cracked an eye open.
"Wake up, love birds.We're here." Liam said softly with a grin on his face.
"We slept through the entire flight?" I asked. The boys nodded. I looked up at Zayn and giggled when I saw that he was still sleeping so peacefully. I bet he can sleep through anything.
"Zayn, babe. Wake up." I spoke softly before shaking him gently.
"W-whu?" He groaned which made me snort in laughter. Very un-lady-like, I know.
"We're here. Now, come on. We're in New York." I said and looked out of the window. It was overcast, but you could just tell that it was some time around 3 in the afternoon.
Zayn got up off the chair and lugged himself to the exit while I followed behind him to, hopefully, catch him if he falls asleep. I smiled at the flight attendant that bid us a good day and then moved to walk beside Zayn who was still half asleep.
We moved on to 'Customs' and had our passports checked before we went to the carousel to collect our luggage.
"I think I see mine." I said and clapped my hands once when I confirmed that it was mine. I held my hand out and grabbed the handle of the bag before pulling it out of the carousel. The boys chuckled when I stumbled, but they helped me heave it out of the belt which made me thank them quietly.
***
During the car ride, we decided to play 'What If?'. And here's how it went.
"Lil, what if I told you that I was gay?" Louis asked with a grin.
"I'd just laugh and say 'I knew it all along.'. Zayn, what if I told you that I'm actually half potato?" I asked and we all burst out laughing.
"Well then.. we'll have beautiful quarter-potato babies. Niall, what if all of the Nandos restaurants in the world exploded?" Zayn said with a laugh.
"I would have to settle for Lil's cooking. Liam, what if your closet ate all your clothes and you had no choice but to walk stark naked in the street?" Niall asked.
"Can I use my towel?" Liam asked.
"We're here." Paul piped up from the front seat which made me look out the window and admire all the tall buildings as well as all the billboards.
"I kind of miss Piccadilly Circus." I whispered.
"We miss home, too." Harry said with a small smile.
"I wonder what mischief happened in school while I was gone..." I trailed off and the boys laughed as Lou opened the door.
"None. You're always the sole cause of any mischief." Louis stated and I rolled my eyes before kicking his leg as I passed him.
"And who's fault is that?" I asked him cheekily.
"That would be mine." He answered in a small voice which made me laugh aloud.
"We go back to LA in 2 days for the Kids' Choice Awards." Paul said as he ushered us into the hotel.
"That's a waste of money. We could have just stayed in LA. But, hey, it's not my problem." I said to the boys in a hushed voice. We all snickered and headed up to the penthouse suite after Paul gave us the keycard.
"Dibs on the prettiest room with a view!" I yelled when we reached the top floor. We ran like raving lunatics to our room and I managed to trip yet again since the carpet had a grudge against me... and we only just met. Cue sigh here.
"Are you okay, Lil?" Louis asked as he tried to keep his laughter in.
"Do I LOOK like I'm fine? I'm practically being groped by the floor and you ask me if I'm fine?" I said sarcastically which made the boys chuckle as they helped me up.
"You really should wear flats, Lil." Niall called as I stomped to the penthouse.
"I'd walk barefoot if I knew that it would help me not trip all the time." I grumbled and opened the door after sliding the card in the slot.
"Dibs on... that room." I said and pointed to the only door on the right side of the room. I walked towards it and slowly peered in the room. It looked breathtaking.
"Welcome to New York." Zayn's unmistakable voice whispered in my ear which sent shivers down my spine. He turned my around and kissed my lips gently before holding up a charm in front of my face.
"That's..." I trailed off in shock.
"The Empire State Building." He stated with a chuckle and kicked the door shut before placing the charm on my bracelet and picking me up by my waist which made me wrap my legs around his torso and delve myself into the kiss.
"What?" I hissed before closing my eye again.
"It's time to get up. We're leaving in two hours. And you take years in the bathroom." He answered before shaking me awake; to no avail. I groaned and rolled on my side before grabbing Zayn's pillow and placing it over my face.

This is Lil and Zayn's new room.
Lil's Outfit
Okay.. I talked to my mum.. and, she gave me the most complicated advice in the world. 'If you want to continue writing it, then continue. If not, just stop now. We're always here for you, Darling.'.
And, that's not a capitalization mistake on the 'Darling'. It's my nickname here at home. :<
So, I've thought about it and I've decided to just write for the hell of it. And, for some choice readers that make me happy every chapter.
xodangersbellaxo: Thank you so much for your comment. :) It made my day. I wish Mibba had more 1D stories. I've been searching everywhere but I've found only a handful of fanfics.
lydiadeveraux: Is it realistic? LOL. Sometimes I read a chapter and hit myself for saying some things that really don't seem believable. But, thank you, anyway. :D
dj tommo: Haha.. scumbag Mibba, not telling when I update. I also have that problem, they really should fix that. XD Thank God for fashion designers.. If I was a fashion designer, we'd all be wearing trash bags and potato sacks. LOL. Thanks for thinking that I'm hilarious.. If we could hang out for a day, like, personally.. I think you'd pee your pants at all my antics. One of my friends wet herself because I was doing this silly dance. It was hilarious. I got the charm bracelet idea from my dad since he bought me this charm bracelet from Peru.. and he went on explaining where he got the charms from. So, the credit goes to him. :3 And, thank you so much for always commenting and making my day. :D
TooLegitToQuit: Thank you. :D I hope you'll love the upcoming chapters even more. ;3
This has got to be the longest A/N ever.. and I write really loooong notes. XD But, it's my thing.. and I like to share with those who read my stories.. and, yeah.. I like to make friends with those who read my fics. :) I'm just a friendly person..
Well, toodles, my cheese-eating monkeys.. XD
