Part 1
Lucy's POV
It was two weeks until my seventeenth birthday and I was absolutely buzzing. I'm usually really looking forward to my birthday but this year it was going to be extra special, thanks to my amazing set of friends. Cerian, one of my best friends had arranged for me and a few of my closest friends to go to London for the weekend! That wasn't even the best part though; when we got there we would be meeting One Direction at a book signing! They only told me a week ago and I burst into tears as it was just so thoughtful of them to arrange something like this for me. I was so excited I could barely contain myself at school on Friday and couldn't concentrate on any lessons, which got me told off a few times by the grumpier teachers but I really couldn't care less.
This was an extra special treat for me because One Direction are my favourite band, ever, and I missed out on getting tickets for their first ever tour, which I was absolutely heartbroken about. The girls though, had secretly arranged this for me to cheer me up and I was thrilled when they told me! They are the best friends I could ever ask for. We were going to be staying with at Cerians Aunt and Uncle's posh flat in London whilst they are on holiday and I can't wait. We're going to be so grown up and I feel really happy at this chance to do something I would probably never get the chance to do again. I had to meet Polly, Beth and Jordan at Cerians later tonight, then her Mum would take us to London!
After school, I was at my house packing my belongings ready for the weekend when my phone buzzed in my pocket.
I actually can't believe this is happening! So pumped for the weekend 3 xxxx
It from Beth, as the oldest in our group she likes to think she is the most mature, and we all humour her. She was my closest friend, even though we had not always got on so well. That didn't matter anymore though as we were practically sisters now. I quickly replied as I stuffed my electric blue chinos and my maroon converse high tops into my suitcase.
Me neither! I love you guys so much for arranging this for me! Xxxx
I really meant it to! This weekend was gonna be a good one. Shoving a few more things in my purple suitcase, I put on some sandals, quickly grabbed my phone charger and wallet before I left my room and headed down stairs to collect my coat.
"Have you got everything you need, love?" Mum shouted from the kitchen. I knew I did because I had double and triple checked as I wanted this trip to be perfect.
"Mmm, yeah I have!" I mumbled in reply as I found what I had been looking for, my One Direction CD. I turned round and as I grabbed my coat off the hanger and started to go into the kitchen I found myself tripping over my seven year old sister Tabitha, who thinks she is a cat. Some may say cute, I say evil! She was super jealous that I was getting to meet One Direction and she wasn't so I promised to get her some pictures.
"Jeez, Tabs! Get out the way," I shouted as I walked into the kitchen cradling a bruised elbow. "Come on mum! We've gotta be at Cerians in twenty minutes." I added as I ushered her out the door.
"Bye Dad, Bye devil child!" I called, letting the door slam behind me. Thankfully, we were soon on our way. I had packed and unpacked multiple times before leaving and I had already picked out what I would be wearing when I met them, the five loves of my life. I would be lying though, if I said that I didn't have a favourite. Louis Tomlinson Sex God extraordinaire! He actually kills me. Dead. And I, Lucy, would be meeting him in less than 20 hours! Whoopee! It was quite lucky really that we all had a different favourite as otherwise it would have been a tad awkward! Beth's favourite was Harry, Polly's was Niall, Jordan's was Liam and Cerians was Zayn. I know the girls were as excited as I was to meet them!
The drive only took around ten minutes because Ceri didn't live that far away from me, as opposed to the rest of the gang who live on the opposite side of Gloucester. We pulled up and I hurriedly pulled out my purple rolling suitcase and kissed my Mum goodbye. As harsh as it sounds, this weekend I don't think I'll miss my family at all. When I got to the door, I was about to knock when Ceri pulled open the door and enveloped me into a hug!
"I am so excited! I cannot believe you guys arranged this and only told me last week!" We were jumping up and down in excitement when Polly's mums' car pulled up. She quickly ran over and joined in with our excitement whilst her poor mum had to haul her suitcase out of the bot of the car.
"Oh my goodness! I am buzzing!" she screamed and we all stood there waiting for the other two to arrive. They are usually the late ones in the group and we weren't surprised they weren't on time today.
"I hope they are as nice as I imagine them to be, you know?" I said.
"Yeah, I get what you mean. I've built them up in my head like really decent and genuine guys and I would be so disappointed if I found out they weren't. I can't wait though," Polly added, as we sat on the kerb outside Cerians house. We were each clutching our digital cameras and were snapping photos of each other already and documenting our first holiday away from home.
"I've been thinking as well," Polly and I gasped in mock horror and Ceri punched us in the arm before continuing, "I don't want to be one of those fans who, like, screams in their face and cries. It must be so awkward for them though, if it was me I wouldn't know what to say."
We both nodded in agreement and continued chatting about our expectations for the weekend for a while and after about ten minutes of waiting for the others; Mrs Fishlock brought us out a glass of apple juice each.
"Thanks, Mrs F," Polly and I replied.
We sipped the juice and Cerian began to play with my long blonde hair, we went to a ball at our youth club a year ago and she did my hair and make-up – it looked fab so I trust her with it all the time now! I am pretty much a complete contrast with my friends, I'm blonde and they are all brunettes or have black hair. I'm also the tallest and if I'm honest I'm a lot chubbier than all my stick thin friends, which depresses me sometimes, and I don't have a lot of self-confidence and I am a very insecure person.
"I think Louis will look damn hot in the flesh," I said randomly after we had discussed the matching onsies we had got for the trip. They laughed then as we all got up, seeing Beth's car making its way down the road. She must have picked Jordan up too as they both ran over and hugged us after dropping their suitcases off.
"Hi guys," Jordan said fishing out her camera to get a snap shot of us all together. "I literally can't wait!"
"Dude, you aren't the only one," Beth and I said simultaneously. We laughed then and took a few more photos. By that time it was almost time to go then so we all piled into Cerians seven seated car.
"Shot gun the back to seats!" Beth shouted, dragging me behind her. Cerian and Jordan helped to put all our bags into the back of the car and Polly leant over to the front seat and pushed in my CD. Na Na Na and What Makes You Beautiful on repeat all the way to London I think! Well maybe I would swap it for my CD of all of their X Factor performances, Torn was my favourite and it always made me feel quite emotional.
"Wow! I can't believe this is happening! Things like this don't happen to us," Jordan began. She was busy chatting away to Beth next to me so I leant over to chat to Polly and Cerian.
"This is the perfect way to celebrate my Birthday," I lilted as I put on my fake Irish accent. It's rather good if I say so myself. Polly gets rather excited when I do it as it reminds her of Niall. She nearly pounced on me one time I swear.
"I'm really looking forward to sharing a flat with you guys! Then to top it off we have the next three weeks off school." Polly chirped as she flipped through her photos on her Walkman. I also got about my phone to tweet about our day so far.
"And it'll help you get over you know who," Cerian whispered not wanting to bring us His name. I nodded in response then I spent the rest of the long journey in silence staring out the window.
"Thanks mum!" Cerian called as we waved her mum off at half nine that night. We had all thanked Mrs Fishlock for driving us up here and she had given us he keys to the flat before she left. We were all super thrilled as we walked into the lobby of the plush building. It looked very expensive so we all wandered in trying to look posh but failing and bursting into fits of laughter.
We must have looked a bit lost so a rather fine looking clerk came over. We all giggled again and pushed Cerian forwards.
"Hello good man. I don't suppose you could tell us which floor Mr and Mrs Fishlocks' flat is could you? I'm their niece and I will be staying here for the week end." She said in a snooty voice which sent us into a fresh set of giggles. He pointed down the hall to the elevator and told us it was on the seventh floor. We all rushed down the corridor pulling along our suitcases. I couldn't wait to see the apartment. If it was anything like the lobby it would be fantastically glamorous!
Part 2
Lucy's POV
We decided to let Cerian open the door, as it was her Aunties house. As she turned the key in the door, we all let out a squeal of excitement. We we're finally here and it was fab! We wall rushed around and took in the neat surroundings that would be home for the next few days. I can tell you now that it wouldn't stay neat for long though, not once I've been let loose! I am truly one of the messiest people known to mankind and my bedroom looks like a bomb site even when I've "tidied" it.
The flat, which was on the seventh floor of the block, had mainly neutral toned walls and décor, and the furnishings were simple but effective. One Direction reference, see what I did there?
We were all shattered by now but we were also to hyper to sleep. We had eaten way to many Golden Bears on the car journey here. Unfortunately, there was only one guest bed room and the master with a double bed. The other two would have to crash on the sofas.
"As it's my birthday treat, I think I should have the sofa as you've all done enough for me as it is!" I told them, and I wasn't taking no for an answer!
"You sure, Lu?" Beth asked. As soon as I nodded she charged into the guest bedroom and dived on the bed. "Bagsie my bed!" We all started laughing as Polly Cerian and Jordan ran to try and bag the double bed! I knew instantly she had lost the race when Cerian came limping out of the room. That girl could hurt herself inside a plastic bubble I swear!
"It looks like we're going to be sofa buddies!" I said as I patted the sofa next to me. She slumped down and tossed a pillow at Jordan who was now walking out of the Master suite with Polly.
"Hey!" she shouted and threw the pillow back at Cerian but it missed her and hit me in the face! Rude! It then turned into an all on all pillow fight. After about ten minutes of fighting we were all out of breath and hungry. I am also always hungry, no matter what time of the day I'm always starving and up for some food, a fact the girls like to tease me about.
"I vote we raid the fridge, fancy giving me a hand Pol?" Beth walked into the open kitchen and riffled through some cupboards until she found a family bag of Doritos and some popcorn and tossed them at us. Polly on the other hand went through the fridge and poured us some lemonade.
"Guys, how long is it until we see them?" I said suddenly after a huge mouthful of popcorn. I started to get really excited then and the anticipation bubbled in my stomach like an army of mad butterflies.
"12 hours and 20 minutes!" Cerian did a little happy dance as she said it. That made it approximately twenty to twelve, we had better get some sleep otherwise we would have bags under our eyes tomorrow and that would not be good!
As if reading my mind, Polly instructed us to go to bed so we all just crashed out into our PJ's. I couldn't get to sleep for ages though because I was too busy worrying about meeting One Direction tomorrow. I had been waiting for this day ever since I first saw them perform together at Simon Cowells house. I eventually drifted off and dreamt about the day that would follow.
"Hey, Lucy!" Louis said, his tussled brown hair was being lifted slightly by the breeze. He was wearing his chinos and a plain white shirt, which conveniently showed of his muscles rather nicely. I was walking towards him and I too, felt the wind on my face.
"Lucy!" he called out my name again. This time his voice sounded different…more feminine?
"Lucy! Wake the Hell Up!" Jordan was shaking my shoulders trying to make me wake. My dream was over and I was momentarily disappointed, well until I realised what was happening today!
"Grr! Not a morning person!" I moaned as I dragged myself off the sofa, tripping over a pair of shoes as I did so. Did I mention how clumsy I am?
"We know!" They all shouted together, you see they have learnt from experience that I can be a right Moaning Myrtle if disturbed when sleeping. However, I shrugged it off and slowly shuffled across the room and unzipped my suitcase. There it was. My outfit was sat there waiting for me to put it on. I had picked out the purple strapless dress a few weeks ago as I was going to wear it for my party, but I could think of no better occasion than meeting the boys of my dreams. I put it on with some leggings and my converses, because I am cool like that. Cerian and Polly were in the bathroom so I strolled in and finished getting changed in there. I let Ceri loosely curl my hair then I applied my eyeliner before taking a look at all of the girl's outfits.
Cerian was wearing a black leather jacket, some denim shorts and some sort of indie top, typical her but she absolutely rocked the look. Personally, I've always said she looks like Sinead off of Hollyoaks, a claim which she disputes. Polly was opting for casual chic with a pair of red skinnies and a waistcoat, to complete the look she wore a trilby style hat, the type of clothing she favoured the most. I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room where I saw Jordan's outfit, some beige chinos and an American Flag print T-shirt and Beth was wearing a navy blue long top over black skinnies and a long grey cardigan.
"Even if I do say myself, we look absolutely spiffing!" I said trying to mimic Cerians posh voice from the night before. This sent the girls in to a fit of laughter. Beth took some pictures on her red digital camera and we all pulled silly faces, and they did some nicer photos.
"Yes Lucy, we are all looking like sexy beasts," Polly said, using one of my favourite phrases.
"What time is it by the way guys? Hadn't we better leave soon?" Jordan asked, giving her hair one last brush.
It was only then that I saw the time! Damn it was half past eleven and the signing started in half an hour and we don't even know how to get there! The other girls saw my face drop and we all rushed out of the room grabbing various handbags as we left, and locking the door frantically behind us. It was just as well we had thought to sort out our bags the night before. As quickly as we could, we piled into the lift.
"Bugger! Where did all the time go?"
"Language, Polly!" Beth scolded as we all willed the damn lift to move faster!
Thankfully, we had found a taxi and had only arrived ten minutes late for the book signing, which was being held at a nearby shopping centre. We all rushed out and stumbled out of the taxi, practically falling over one another. Beth had now put her tiger hat on and was wearing it proudly on top of her sleek black hair. We quickly joined the end of the already long queue and began to wait for our chance to meet One Direction. The signing was already under way, despite the fact that the boys are usually late for everything and we could hear What Makes You Beautiful playing loudly inside the shop and all the other fans, as well as ourselves, began to bounce and sing along to our favourite song.
Whilst we waited we tried various ways of entertaining ourselves, including cracking awful jokes and generally remembering memories from school. One of my personal favourite was Beth singing;
"The sun is up, the milk is chilled, it's gonna be a good one, yo yo"
"Dude, why are you singing the Yeo Valley advert?" Jordan shot her a puzzled glance as I made gangsta rapper dance moves in the back ground. In case you were wondering, yes my friends are weirdos, complete and utter weirdos.
We were slowly creeping forward in the line and you could see all the fans closer up in the line screaming, and others who had already met the boys having fits and crying outside the shop. I could feel a knot of anticipation forming in my stomach as we got closer to the front, the girls and I hurriedly riffled through our bags trying to fish out various items we wanted to be signed. I had to get out my camera too and Tabitha's picture of the boys she wanted me to give to them. I took a few snaps of Polly and Beth mucking around, and another of Jordan balancing the One Direction Calendar on her head like a hat. Like I said, mad.
About an hour later, we were so close that I could see perfection. And I think I may have just died and gone to heaven. I felt all fluttery in my stomach but I tried my very best to compose myself. We had prearranged that Jordan would meet them first, then Polly, then me, then Beth and finally Cerian. We shuffled in between the barriers until we were more or less in the right order and we began to nervously chatter.
"This is it!" Cerian said, I could hear the excitement channelled in her voice.
"I know! I can't wait any longer I feel like I'm going to burst," I replied as calmly as possible. This was becoming more of a challenge, the closer we got.
"Next," called a man in a black suit. This was it!
Jordan walked over and handed Zayn, who was wearing a grey letterman Jacket and black jeans, her calendar and took a few shots on her camera with the boys. Polly walked along, in what I can only describe as a daze, until she got to Niall.
"Hi," she smiled as he looked up at her.
"Hello Beautiful," he replied in his gorgeous Irish voice as he adjusted the collar of his blue shirt. Wow that boy did things to me. Polly let out a small giggle and began to nervously chat with the boys with Jordan, until they felt more comfortable that is and then they were chatting like old friends. It was my turn next! Eep! Zayn was first so I handed him my copy of their single cover and blushed furiously when he looked up and asked me my name. Next was Liam, who was looking mighty fine today in a deep blue polo and jeans, and I had a chat with him for a while because my family are from Wolverhampton, like he is. I felt so comfortable around them; they had definitely lived up to, and surpassed my expectations. I then handed Tabitha's picture to Niall, as I had done to Liam and Zayn before him. I started speaking to him in my accent and I think I fooled him for a few minutes too! He was so sweet and I could tell that he was genuinely interested in what I was saying but I had to move on and see Harry, not that I am complaining in the slightest. He is so gorgeous and his curls bounced just above his shoulder which was very sexy, and that voice – sounds even better in the flesh!
"Hi, how are you?" He asked me, as I took a picture of me hugging him.
"I'm good thanks, you?" I replied flirting a little bit by putting my hand on his arm, I was so thrilled to be here right I front of him. He turned to Beth to start talking and when he noticed her hat they hit it off straight away.
"I like your hat gorgeous," he said, pulling a matching hat out from under the table. She laughed and they started comparing hat tips. They were really hitting it off. That was when my life was made.
"Hey Babe!" he said. Louis bloody Tomlinson. Phwoar! He was wearing red chinos and a navy stripy top, similar to the outfit he wore in their music video.
"H…Hi…" Compose yourself, "I'm Lucy,"
"Hey Lucy!" Louis replied, his brown hair flipping across his face. I was well and truly overwhelmed. It was then that my darling best friends decided to make distracting noises, much to my annoyance. Many kissing noises featured heavily to say the least.
"Would you mind signing this?" I asked sliding Tabitha's picture along the table to where he was sitting. "My sister drew it and as she couldn't come along today, and I promised I would get yo to sign it." I blushed again as he smiled at me affectionately.
"That is so sweet what you are doing for her, I have a younger sister too, well two because they are twins." I already knew this, but didn't say anything; I was actually standing in front of Louis Tomlinson. I could have stayed chatting to him all day, but we were soon ushered along, past One Direction and out of the shop. We all stood there outside clutching signed goodies, and it was only then that I realised that I had left the picture on the table.
"Buggar!" I cursed, turning round trying to get back in.
"What is it Luce?" Cerian asked, she looked rather please with herself as Zayn had kissed her on the cheek.
"I left Tab's picture in there," I replied trying to go through the door, a tall man dressed in a similar black suit stood in my way.
"Sorry Miss, you can't go back in there," He said gruffly.
"But, you don't u…"
"I don't understand? Yeah, I get that along miss, now just move along please." He stood firmly in my way up and I resigned myself to defeat. I would just have to work something out for Tabs. I can't believe after all that, that I have let her down.
"Don't worry, we'll sort something out," Beth said outing her arm round me and giving my arm a squeeze.
I had gotten over losing Tab's picture, but I was still on a high after meeting the boys. Of course I was disappointed about Tabitha but it was still one; of the best moments of my entire life, it was fantastic! I just couldn't believe it had happened, I had gotten so many tweets of jealous friends it was unreal. I volunteered to go out for food as the girls had already done enough for me. We had eventually decided, after a long discussion, that I would go to Nandos to get a takeout meal.
I had taken a while surfing the net for directions to the closest one to the flat, then printed them out. I spent about twenty minutes walking, probably in the wrong direction, instead of the five minutes Google promised. And after all that I had no idea if you can get a Nandos take out but our fall back plan was a KFC. I was busy texting Beth for the orders, which I had by now forgotten, I am usually very good at walking and texting at the same time, I have only nearly fallen in a bin once…okay twice. I was so busy looking at the screen I jumped out of my skin when I walked into something solid.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," I began tearing my eyes of the screen of my phone, "I wasn't looking where I was going! Sorry."
I had just walked into a boy of around eighteen, nineteen. He was wearing a very familiar outfit, red chinos and a stripy polo shirt. He turned around then and I flushed scarlet.
I had only just gone and walked in to Louis Tomlinson. The sex god!
Part 3
Lucy's POV
"Oh God! I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going I'm such a Douche sometimes," I fumbled with my words as I clicked by phone shut and shoved it hurriedly in my coat pocket. I was sure I must have been blushing and I was winding myself into such a state. I can be such a fool sometimes!
"No worries, Babe." Louis grinned, clearly seeing how flustered I was. How embarrassing? He couldn't have caught me at a worse time, I looked a mess as it had been a long old day and by now I was shattered. I was wide awake now though!
He in comparison looked gorgeous as usual. It took my breath away and it made my reply slightly late, "I..urm..better be off," I said turning to leave Nandos, the girls would just have to deal with a KFC or something because it would be too mortifying to stay here.
"Hey, wait!" Louis sad catching my arm as I went to leave. Oh God, what now? This was just too much! Wait; don't tell me, I must have had toilet paper on my shoe or something! "Have I seen you before?"
He couldn't possibly remember, could he? I'd just have to lie, and then it'd be over sooner and I could mourn my problems over a boneless bucket. I shook my head, but as I did so, I could tell he didn't believe me.
"No, I definitely have, I always remember a beautiful face," FANGIRLING – DID HE JUST SAY THAT? Stay calm! "Oh I remember now, you were at the signing weren't you… That's right; you gave me your sister's picture to sign. Am I right?"
Was this actually happening? "Yeah, I was." How was my voice staying so calm? Oh my goodness! I was having a conversation with Louis Tomlinson, himself!
"You left it behind. I found it after the signing, wow I really hoped I'd be able to give it back to you and now I can. I kept it, I have it back at the apartment." He was smiling again, mischievously this time. I wondered what he was thinking.
Louis' POV
Ever since the signing I hadn't been able to get this girl out of my head, and here she was right in front of me but I don't even know her name. I didn't believe in love at first sight until now. She was so…different, but in a good way.
"Oh cool thanks. That was so kind of you," she was still blushing but I thought that was really endearing. I always like it when fans don't scream in your face because that makes things really awkward. Most do though, but like I said, she was different. "Erm, maybe you could post it to me or something?" she got out her notepad and began to scribble down her address. Then she handed it to me and I put the small piece of purple paper into the pocket of my chinos. I would have to keep that somewhere safe.
"Or, you could always come back to mine and I could give it to you myself, that way I would now it got home safely." Okay so I knew I was being a bit cheeky but I don't think she minded. I saw her cheeks flush a pale scarlet, which amused me. everything she did drew me in more and more.
"If you're sure, I wouldn't want to get in the way or anything." She tucked a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear, exposing more of her face. She wasn't looking me in the eye so I quickly grabbed hold of her hand in the hope it would get me a look at her eyes. It did.
Lucy's POV
OH MY GOD! I couldn't believe what was happening to me. Wow. I would have to tell the girls all about it, they would be so jealous! Louis was still clasping my hand, and his felt warm but it sent cold tingles through my whole body. It was exhilarating, exciting and a totally new experience for me. I had never felt this way before, outside Nandos too – I'm a classy bird me. He pulled my hand which pulled me out of the trance like state I was in and I followed him out of the door. Usually I would have minded being dragged away from the smell of spicy chicken; I can honestly say that this time was a very rare exception.
"Where are we going?" I asked retrieving my hand, as I did so I noticed that he looked a little hurt. Maybe I was imagining it. "I mean I know your apartment but where is that exactly? I told my friends I'd be back soon and..." I trailed off as he gave me another smouldering smile.
"That's a secret, for me to know and you to find out." He paused and got out his phone. "Excuse me a moment," he then swiftly dialled a number and told me to wait here. I waited until he had finished the call and tried not to listen as best as possible, it was quite hard not to though.
"Alright babe?" he asked when he walked back over. "Sorry about that I just had to call the boys and check they were decent. By the way, I think Zayn is a bit keen on that brunette friend of yours, so why not invite your mates along? We can make a night of it." Cerian would absolutely die when I told her, so I quickly pulled out my phone and texted her and the girls with the address. It wasn't too far from the hotel we were staying at, so they would just have to walk. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't mind though, I can't wait to see their reactions when they get to the flat.
"I take it you know the way? It's quite a well-known spot in London." He was guiding me along and it was getting dark now. The lights of London were lighting our way like little stars – it was all very romantic, but things were bound to go wrong because things like this didn't happen to me.
"Not really, I don't live locally, Gloucester actually, but I doubt you know where that is," I replied nervously. He probably didn't care anyway, not many people have heard of it.
"Near Wales, yeah?" He looked rather amused. I grinned back sheepishly, feeling bad for doubting him.
We walked in a comfortable silence the rest of the way there and I was wrapped up in my own crazy thoughts until I saw the block of apartments. Talk about swanky, I was gobsmacked it was fab! I felt really out of place until Louis still his hand back into mine and lead me to the lift. I felt reassured then and more secure in my surroundings. He pushed the button which would take us to the very top floor.
"I'm Lucy by the way," I said casually as I felt the elevator move upwards. I was ever so slightly amused that he hadn't even asked yet.
"How embarrassing is that? I'm so sorry I didn't ask before! You must think I'm so rude. Louis, although I take it you already know that."
"Pleased to meet you, let's make a clean slate of it," I extended my hand and he shook it, then he held it a little too long afterwards. If I wasn't mistaken, I would have thought that Louis Tomlinson was flirting with me.
Ping.
We had reached our floor and we both stepped out. I felt under dressed in my chinos and converses as I saw one of the other residents walk by in a posh suit. Not mentioning any names but I'm talking famous, like television famous.
If I thought that the tower block was fancy, it was a shocker to see the lads home. It was posh, don't get me wrong, but any space occupied by five rowdy teenage boys was bound to get messed up soon. "Ready to meet the lads…again?" he ushered me through the door before I could answer.
"Did you bring back the food Lou?" Niall's Irish lilt drifted in from the kitchen. Louis shouted a reply and Niall made a sound which resembled that of a sulky child. I passed Liam as I went to sit down and he gave me a wave and a polite smile, as we made our way into the living room I was greeted with a semi naked Harry. Not that I was complaining.
"Hello…" Harry said as he quickly rushed to cover his dignity with a cushion. I guessed that Zayn forgot to say company would be arriving as Harry ran into one of the bedrooms and muttered something about putting on some trousers. I laughed at that as he poked his head back round the door and asked if my friend with the tiger hat would be coming along. Clearly we had all made quite an impression.
