SEVEN
We just talk and watch movies all night. The eight of us all sit in my living room and watch movies. I bring out blankets and pillows, and we all make ourselves comfortable. Since my family will be on vacation for another two weeks and I'm house-sitting, I don't have to worry about my parents coming home, either. All I have to think about right now is this moment sitting together with all the boys.
I pop The Notebook into the DVD player and walk back to the couch where I was sitting next to Liam. Resting my head on his shoulder, I curl up into him and he pulls the blanket up over us. Sitting next to us on the couch are Iana and Zayn. They're sitting in the same position on the other side of the couch. Louis and Niall are spread out on the floor hogging the popcorn, and Harry and Scarlett are curled up together at my feet on the floor.
I can't help but wonder if any of us are official yet. It's been running through my mind the whole day. Spending this much time with the guys has made us fall in love with them even more, and I keep wondering if they might love us a little bit, too. Harry wraps his arm around Scarlett's shoulders, and Zayn pulls Iana in a bit closer.
"Guys management sent a car to take us back to the Hotel. Are you ready to go?" Louis asks the rest of the guys. I look up and Liam is gazing right into my eyes. He quickly looks back to Louis.
"I kind of would like to stay. Did management say that was fine? We're sharing rooms anyway so I don't see a problem," Liam says. He pulls me in a little closer, like if he did he'd be able to stay.
"I don't see a problem. If Zayn and Harry wanna stay, too, Louis and I can just go back by ourselves," Niall suggests. We all look at each other and nod. Louis announces that the car is outside and I stand to walk them to the door. I hug the guys and say I'll see them tomorrow. Louis is basically my best friend now. We stand there laughing a bit until the driver starts honking and I have to send them off.
I crawl back onto the couch just as the movie's starting. We all decide to go out and get some MacDonald's as a midnight snack. Harry, Scarlett, Zayn, and Iana go to pick up the food and I stay at the house with Liam. I sit up on the edge of the couch and Liam rests his head on my lap.
"Ceiba?" he says my name softly and sits up. I pause the movie to listen to him. "I really like you, but I'm afraid. Harry and Scarlett are official, and Iana and Zayn are basically inseparable. I really want to make it official between us. I'd love for you to be my girlfriend, but I know you'll get a lot of hate from the fans."
"Liam, I don't care about what the fans think. I really like you and I want to be your girlfriend. Most of your fans already like me, and you've seen how well I deal with the ones that don't. There really isn't anything to worry about," I look right into his eyes and he hugs me.
"So then are we official?" he asks. I nod and smile, looking right into Liam's eyes as he slightly leans in. We hear a knock on the door and I jerk back slightly. We stand together to open the door for our friends. They're carrying 4 bags of food. How much could they have bought?
"Hey, we got the Chicken Nugget Bucket and like 10 orders of fries. Is that enough?" Harry asks. I can't help but laugh. That's so much more than enough. I help carry the food to the kitchen and take out some sodas. We distribute the food and take our places again in the living room.
"Guys, we'd like to announce that we're official," Liam says causually. He kisses my forehead and rests his head on mine. Everyone looks at us, startled.
"I think we're official too, right?" Harry asks Scarlett. I can tell they've been talking about it. Scarlett nods and I give her an approving look. Iana and Zayn just look at each other. I look at them and catch Zayn's smirk.
"They've been official since Zayn tied her shoe," I joke. I'm so glad we're all finally official. It's basically true because since the day at the pier those two were basically inseparable. After we all eat together, Scarlett and Harry stay in the kitchen. They're still eating and laughing together. Iana and Zayn go to the family room next door. We all just stay separate for a bit, and each couple acts like they're in their own little world.
