Chapter Four- Room On The Third Floor
Walking though the Hilton Hotel in the centre of Manchester as part of McFly's entourage made Lexi feel giddy inside, despite how tired she was.
Each of the girls walked behind their boyfriend, leaving Lexi to walk behind Tom, who kept looking back and smiling at her, his eyes even more sleepy than hers.
"You girls wait here" Harry said "We'll get the keys"
As the four men walked up to the desk, the three women turned to Lexi. They had all questioned her during the concert on how she felt about Tom, she had spent most of the time blushing and mumbling. She prayed they didn't tell.
"Are you going to tell him?" Lara asked
"No" Lexi said quickly "At least not yet. I'm only seventeen, so I would rather not make qn idiot of myself"
"Hmm" The three women said at once.
"We have a slight problem..."
They turned around to see Danny, rubbing his hands together "They only booked four rooms instead of five"
Lexi turned red "Oh... er... I'll sleep on the bus..."
Tom shook his head "No way in hell am I letting you sleep on that bus by yourself" He sighed "You'll have to come in my room, we'll sort it out somehow"
The eight of them trailed in to the lift which would lead them to their rooms on the third floor. Lara leant on Dougie, Georgia on Danny and Izzy on Harry, leaving Tom and Lexi stood, awkwardly, side by side, though they both wanted to be doing the same as the others, but were unsure of how the other would react.
"What time are we meeting in the morning?" Izzy asked, still hanging on to Harry
"Half ten?" Georgia suggested
"Sounds good to me" Dougie was already walking down the corridor, arm around Lara's shoulder "Night all!"
Stepping in to the room, Tom flicked the light switch, making the four lamps switch on. The first thing they looked at was the bed, then each other.
"I'll sleep on the sofa" Lexi offered
"No, you're the lady, I will" Tom said
"Ha!" Lexi laughed "I'm no lady..."
"Well I'm pretty sure I'm the guy, unless you have a..."
"Ok, I'm the lady"
Tom grinned "Seriously, take the bed"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I am" He was stood right in front of her now "You look so tired"
"I am, but surely you feel worse"
"Nah, I've got used to it. Although..." He stretched his arms and yawned "...I would like some sleep" He threw his arms around her and made a snoring noise, making her laugh. He pulled her in to a proper hug, she held on to him, head on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair, a small smile on his face. They moved apart slightly and looked at each other, Lexi blushed.
"Sorry" She whispered
"It's alright" He moved a strand of her hair "I hugged you"
"Yeah but I hugged you back..."
"You're supposed to" He pulled her close again "Have you had a good day?"
Lexi closed her eyes "Would you find it sad if I said amazing?"
"No, cause I feel the same..." He spoke in to her hair "...did I just admit that?"
She giggled "Yeah you did"
He dropped his arms from around her waist and squeezed her hand "I better find the spare covers"
"Yeah, I guess. But listen, I had an idea" She let go of his hand and moved over to the bed and folded the covers in half "You can sleep in the bed now too"
He smiled at her "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Because you have better things to think about than how we're going to sleep"
Tom pulled down the cover from inside the wardrobe "Trust me, I don't"
Lexi watched him throw it on to the bed and fold like she had. He then pulled off his shirt...
"I'll go get changed in the bathroom" She grabbed her bag and shut the door before he could remove his trousers.
He climbed into bed, pulling the covers around him, so that only the top of his shoulders and his head were poking out.
"Er... Tom...?"
"Yeah?"
"Because I thought I would be in my own room, I bought what I would normally wear to bed. Promise not to laugh?"
Tom's eyebrows went up, why would he laugh at her? "I won't laugh"
Lexi stepped out into the bedroom, wearing an oversized navy t-shirt with a picture of Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry on the front, Tom grinned, it was from their greatest hits tour a few years ago.
"You said you wouldn't laugh!" She lay on her half of the bed
"I'm not laughing, I'm smiling" He put an arm around her "Its cute"
"I just feel stupid"
"Don't" He squeezed her shoulder, looking at the clock "We better get some sleep"
"Yeah" She sighed "We had"
