Messaging Strangers [Louis Tomlinson]

Day 4

Chloe logs into Skype to find Louis already on. Of course, he's probably been waiting for her.

She clicks on the video call and waits until his grainy image pops up. "Why's it so dark there?" is the first thing she says. "Because it's like past midnight and everyone else on the bus is asleep," he replies and Chloe laughs.

"Then why are you talking to me, you doof?" she asks and sees his soft smile. "Because I miss you," he whispers and a smile smile spreads across her face. "I know, I miss you too," she says and he grins.

"How was the concert?" she asks as she watches him pull the blankets up a little higher. "Oh, don't act like you didn't watch the whole thing live through Tumblr," Louis mumbles and Chloe laughs.

"Hey! I just want to catch up on you. I can't miss any drama," she says and he shakes his head. "Yeah, yeah," he whispers before yawning.

"You should go to sleep," Chloe says quietly and he shakes his head. "Want to spend more time with you," he whispers, yawning again. "I'll stay on with you, but how about you just close your eyes and try to sleep and I'll tell you a story," she suggests and he nods.

Chloe starts to tell the story and Louis' eyes drift shut before his soft snores fill the screen. Chloe stops her story and she smiles. She quietly takes a screenshot of his sleeping face before she ends the call and shuts off her phone, pulling on some clothes to head to work.
