A/N. I'm so so so so sorry I haven't updated in forever! Please forgive me I know its dragging on a little but I'm trying to build their relationship up but I'm going to try and get the ball fully rolling in the next chapter :D So yeah it might be a but better than this one but enjoy anyway...

He didn't even notice me looking at him I think he was subconsciously doing it but I wasn't complaining it was really cute. I couldn't help but shuffle closer to him it made me feel safe and secure. Like all of my problems with my mum, the memories the haunt me and my cutting could melt away. I have never felt this way with anyone before. When the film finished there was a loud grumble someone's hungry I thought to myself I looked around to see if I could figure out who's stomach made the bizarre noise. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted Carlos clutching his stomach and telling it to shh. I couldn't help but laugh "You hungry Carlos?" I managed to say through the giggles. Everyone turned to look at him his face turning slightly pink.

"Yea just a bit" His voice timid and shy

"Well how 'bout we order some pizzas or burgers?"

"Yea think that would be a good idea if we are to get through the next film without and growls" Logan said I just smiled and went to get up to see if I could find any take away leaflets when I noticed the girls looking at me with huge grins on their faces. That's when I remembered James still had his arm wrapped around my shoulders. I tried to get up even quicker but tripped over one of the blankets but luckily I didn't fall flat on my face like I expected I managed to regain my balance and walk out of the room as quickly as possible.

I was looking through the endless take away leaflets when I finally found the one I was looking for. As I turned around James caught my eye standing in the middle of everyone. He looked like he was pouring out drinks well someone feels at home I thought to myself I have no idea why it just popped into my head I was glad he felt at home. "Hey do you lot want another beer or something else?" I asked as I was stood in the doorway watching everyone chatting and getting along.

"Do you mind if we have some of that with use we aren't big fans of beer" Dustin spoke for what felt like the first time tonight. I couldn't help but smile they were all so sweet and polite

"It's fine, here's the leaflet" I handed the leaflet to the guys because I already know what Beth Helen Steph and Ellen would want. "Girls the usual?" They nodded their heads like the toy dogs you can get to put in your car. I laid myself of the sofa behind Kendall, Logan Carlos and Dustin leaning my head on Logan's shoulder as he examined the menu. "James do me a favour since your standing go into the kitchen and get another bottle out of the fridge and then come see what you want. See anything you want?" Logan turned quickly and smiled

"I'll just have a burger"

"Okay, Kendall what did you want?"

"I'll have a meat feast pizza it sounds nice" My eyes must have exploded "What?" He asked innocently

"It's nothing but you have never had a meat feast pizza?" He shook his head I couldn't believe he had never had a meat feast pizza before. My thoughts quickly changed back to James he was taking a long time to get a bottle out of the fridge. "James have you found Narnia in my fridge?" He walked back into the room he was apparently the only one who didn't find it funny… "What's up?" I was slightly confused he went out happy and come back unhappy

"Ohh just the whole contents of your fridge nearly fell on my head" Clearly being sarcastic

"Humm yeah maybe I should sort it out, but are you okay? I didn't even hear a crash" I remembered how much of a mess the fridge was when I went shopping I just piled stuff on top instead of putting it in its place.

"Yeah you really should, ohh I managed to catch it before it made it to the floor"

"I would but I dislike cleaning life's too short to be organised!" I felt like a little kid being forced to clean their room. Beth's head snapped up from the conversation she glared at me but then softened into a smug smile. I knew that I had used one of Kendall's famous quotes I only did it to see what their reaction would be.

"I say that!" Kendall exclaimed

"I know" I looked at Beth who was laughing "She taught me well" Causing her to laugh more

"Who's 'she'" Kendall asked confused probably thinking he was sitting in a room full of stalkers

"Beth" I only had to say the B in her name for her to put her head down and try to hid from us even if we could still see the top of her head. 'Ohh' Kendall mimed then told us to be quiet as he got up and walked towards Beth who was still covering herself with the blanket. He walked right around the back of the couch behind her and jumped behind her causing her to scream and reveal her face as she was struggling to get out of his grip. Everyone else including me was sitting laughing at her struggling.

After 5 minutes of her struggling she gave up and just led back leaning against his chest. I couldn't help but think how cute they would be together. "Okay so does everyone know what they want before it gets too late to order" There was a chorus of yeps yeahs and an a yupp. "Carlos what are you having?"

"I'll have a cheese pizza please"

"Sure, James?"

"Erm… I'll have a Hawaiian please no mushrooms"

"Ooo nice choice" I couldn't help but smile at how we like the same pizzas "Beth-Meat feast pizza Helen-Cheese burger Ellen-Cheese pizza Steph-Kebab" I said it out loud for no reason other than to make a mental note to myself. "Oh Dustin what are you having?" he was so quiet I almost forgot about him I'm so glad I didn't though.

"What's the kebab made with?"

"It's lamb in a pitta bread with salad an sauce" Steph interrupted me before I could even start, kebabs had to be her favourite food even though she refused to have them more than once a week. She blushed slightly as she smiled at him

"I'll try one of them then" I nodded and walked to grab the house phone off the stand. I could hear them all chatting and laughing.

I ordered our food the man on the other end said it would take 10 minutes. When I walked back into the living room everyone was sat boy girl in a circle with the table pushed off to one side. I couldn't help but be confused as I went and sat in-between James and Carlos. "What are you lot doing now?" I sounded a little annoyed even though I wasn't.

"Were going to play spin the bottle while we are waiting for the food" Ellen explained "There is no point in starting the next movie and we have a empty bottle of vodka sitting there so yeah we are playing spin the bottle, an yes I do know you hate these games but you're not getting out of this one"

"Ohh but-" I wined only to be cut off by Beth

"No buts we ARE playing"

"Urgg only if it's okay with everyone else" I really did hate these games I always felt ashamed

"Actually I don't even know how to play" Carlos spoke up

"Well what you do is take it in turns to spin the bottle and whoever it lands on you have to kiss for 5 seconds-" Beth started only to be cut off by Helen

"And if it lands back on you then you have to pick someone on your right or your left but if it lands on you another time then you have to go to the person you didn't kiss before" I smiled I was glad I sat next to James now I would have an excuse to pick him as he was on my left and that was my favourite side.

"Okay I that's simple" Carlos stated I couldn't help but laugh I thought it was simple to but apparently the others thought it was a great way to pass the time. With that everyone said that Steph should go first as she was the one who suggested playing the game in the first place. Her spin landed on Dustin. She smiled sweetly at him but Dustin looked nervous she crawled around the circle until she was in front of him and placed a kiss on his lips. When they pulled away they looked at each other longingly. Once again I couldn't help but think how adorable they would be together. They both had brown hair that was a little wavy at the tips. I was snapped out of my thoughts by someone punching my shoulder I turned to see who it was but I was met by a pair of lips touching mine. They were soft and gentle which made me relax a little I still didn't know who it was and I didn't want to open my eyes to look because I knew all the others would be looking. When the person pulled away I quickly opened my eyes to see it was Logan. I smiled sweetly towards him before he crawled back towards where he was sat. We carried on around the circle until it reached James. He spun the bottle around as he had a stupid grin on his face. His turn landed back on himself.

"Ohh you would be the first one wouldn't you" I joked

"Ohh thanks" He said back sarcastically

"Well who you going to pick buddy…" Kendall said probably thinking he was preventing a argument

"Erm I don't know…" I couldn't help but smile… As he shuffled nervously in his seat

"Come on you have to pick someone"

"Stop pressuring me! I don't like it" He wined

"We aren't this is the whole idea of the game so just pick someone" Carlos said getting irritated by the looks of things

"Alright then close your eyes and I shall pick someone" Everyone rolled their eyes at his stupid behaviour but I couldn't help but think it was cute at how he was ashamed to pick someone in front of everyone else.

"Fine everyone shut your eyes!" I demanded people soon stopped with their protests and shut their eyes. I couldn't help but keep mine open a little just to peek who he kissed.

"Including you" He whispered in my ear I signed and shut them as tight as I could

"Happy now…"

"Yeah" I could hear the others getting restless probably impatient.

"Have you kissed someone yet…" It sounded like Steph but I couldn't quite work it out

"No hold on one minute" I heard James say back but it sounded as if he was in front of me rather than next to me. Then I felt a pair of soft lips touch mine almost as softly as they had when we were at the riding school but this time I couldn't help but smile and return the kiss. Making it more passionate he traced his tongue along my lower lip but I refused and kept my lips sealed together teasing him. When we pulled away I opened my eyes to find everyone else looking at me and James who was now sat in front of me with his legs either side on me. I couldn't help but hold a smile across my face even when the blush set in on my cheeks I glanced at James as he scooted back next to me with his million dollar smile spread from ear to ear across his face.

"Now that you too love birds are finished let's carry on" Ellen said rudely I couldn't help but sigh with relief when the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" I skipped over to the door well that wasn't awkward at all was it I couldn't help but think to myself that I felt something between us in that kiss then. I opened the door to find the delivery guy standing there with a handful of pizza boxes and a bag with other containers in. I handed him his money before heading inside. I put the boxes down on the table and started going through them to find out who box belonged to

"Erm has anyone else realised that these are big pizza not little ones…" Helen pointed out

"Ohh yeah well we will just have to share wont we, I don't mind if you don't mind James…" I turned knowing that we had the same pizza he looked at me dazed

"Umm yeah sure whatever"

"You okay?" I was a little concerned that he was in such a day dreamy mood he was fine before.

"Yeah am fine just a little… hungry"

"Come on then let's get stuck in!" Carlos exclaimed and with that was all devoured our shared pizzas. A couple of times me and James would grab for the same piece of pizza and our hands would crash into each other causing us to randomly giggle as we had a mini hand war over the piece of pizza even though the box was filled with plenty of other slices. Once everyone was finished I started taking the boxes out into the kitchen. I placed a couple down when more were placed on top. I turned to see Beth and Helen give me a sceptical look

"What?" They just looked at each other and I should have known what they were going to say

"You ask us what when we were the ones who should be asking you what the hell was that before!" Beth practically shouted in a whisper kind of tone if that is possible

"It was the game" I was trying to avoid the question because the truth is I really didn't know the answer either.

"That was more than the game Ashley and you know it!" Helen butted in

"Yeah come on you kissed for ages it was only meant to be 5 seconds" Beth said her tone a little more of a whisper now

"Well I guess we just got carried away that's all!" I sounded innocent even though I had no idea why

"Ohh okay then but that was more than just the game he likes you!" What they both thought James liked me don't be stupid you must have misunderstood

"He doesn't like me…" I said trailing off

"What he so does I mean how can you miss how he looks at you how he had his arm around you during that film befo-" I cut her off before she could finish

"Wait you saw that… I thought no one noticed" They both laughed at me

"Ohh come on even the guys noticed, not to mention the way you two were flirting when eating your pizza!" Ohh god they even noticed that. I thought they were all too busy eating their own food and talking to the other guys.

"You noticed that to then" They both nodded I couldn't help but shake my head at them. It felt like we were back at school sitting on the playground discussing which boys we liked and who talked to them first.

"So if you get to have a American guy then we can to" Beth said with a wink

"How did I never guess that you two would want to sit with Kendall and Logan" Beth had a huge crush on Kendall and Helen had a huge crush on Logan even since we started listening to their music a year or so back.

"Well go for it… I can't exactly stop you can I" With that they both skipped back towards the living room. As I predicted Beth was sat next to Kendall and Helen next to Logan but now everyone was sitting next to someone different. I took my place next to James where we had been sitting all night. "Shall we put then next film on?" everyone stayed silent and just nodded.

I pressed play only to find out it was the worst film they could have put on… The Strangers I was petrified of this film. I tried not to show it but I was even when it was showing the title of the film I started shaking. Usually I can watch scary films but this one didn't seem right I don't like anyone with a mask on to cover their faces. I could always imagine that I would turn out to be like that girl and end up being killed.

I managed to get through some of the film before I got really scared and ended up jumping at anything. Then one of the characters tries to get her through the door that pushed me to the limit I grabbed James' arm and hid my face with it as if it was a pillow. I shuffled closer to him to see if that would make me feel any safer but it didn't really. I could feel James chuckle every time I jumped and eventually he put his arm around me and whispered in my ear "Are you okay?" I looked up at him my eyes must have been filled with terror as he pulled my body closer to his

"Yeah I just don't like this film" He wrapped his other arm around my front as if cuddling me but he kept them there hooked around me. I soon relaxed and came to my normal senses that it was just a film and would never happen in real life.

I glanced around the room to see everyone else either sitting really close, laying close or using each other as pillows to either hide behind of lean on. I smiled tonight really was perfect so far. Suddenly my body felt heavy and tired I couldn't stop yawning "Lean on me and go asleep if you want" James whispered again into my ear I smiled up at him

"You sure" he nodded in reply and I sat up as he shuffled so he was laying down with his head properly on the pillows and he held his arms open for me to lean in. I placed my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around him. Gosh he is so comfy, I could stay here in this moment forever! It was truly perfect I could feel him tracing patterns into my arm what felt like swirls and stripes but I couldn't be bothered to open my eyes to look. Soon I felt the sleep take over me and before I knew it I was in a deep sleep cuddling up to someone I never thought I would meet yet alone spend any time with.
