Chapter 2 – Bucket List

Larissa's POV

"Ummm hi, can I help you?" I asked. Darcy wrenched the door open all the way and then turned to look at me.

"Liss, the 5 hottest guys on the entire planet are standing outside my doorstep and all you can say is 'Can I help you?' What the hell!" she accused. The boys had amused expressions on their faces.

"What was I meant to say? 'Hi, I thought you were rapists that wanted to brutally murder me and my friends?' that seemed a bit long for me. So sue me for settling for 'can I help you?'" I huffed and then turned to the door. "I'm Larissa by the way and this is Darcy and Maree and apparently am not fit to do this so. Darcy it's your house, you talk to One Direction and see what they want. I will be in the living room if I am wanted" I turned on my heels and left.

Maree was rolling her eyes at both Darce and I. I grabbed the knives and took them into the kitchen. I was placing them back into the block when it hit me. OMFG One Direction was in my best friend's house… holy crap! I walked casually back into the living room to see the boys just sitting down.

"Re, Darce before you sit down can I please see you in here for a second" they nodded and then joined me in the kitchen. Once we were out of sight we all looked at each other and then started to silently scream and jump up and down.

"I can't believe Harry Styles is in my house!" Darce sighed.

"I can't believe Niall Horan is in my house!" Maree sighed with her.

"I can't believe there are people who appreciate sleep as much as I do in 2 of my best friends' house" I sighed as well. They both looked at me "Oh and I'm happy Louis is here to" I giggled.

"I suppose I should feed them, I'm hungry so might as well get them something too" We all nodded and walked back into the living room to find them all talking about something. They didn't notice us enter.

"Err guys?" No reaction. Okay then. I let out a loud whistle with my fingers. The boys stopped talking and Re and Darce who were on either side of me whacked both me arms. "Ow what the hell was that for!" I protested while rubbing my arms. The boys chuckled at me.

"Why did you whistle at them? They aren't dogs!" Maree scolded.

"They weren't paying attention it's not my fault! Anyway boys, my friend Maree has a question for you" I nodded to her.

"Oh right, do you guys want to be fed? Because I'm making lunch and I need to know how much to make" she smiled.

"No it's okay, we're not hungry" Liam replied. He was so polite.

"Ha, I highly doubt that seeing as Niall Horan is in the room" Darcy let slip before she could stop herself. Luckily they all laughed and she let out a sigh of relief.

"How about this I'll just triple what I'd usually make" Maree nodded and then disappeared. Darce and I plopped down on the only spare couch.

"Question, what is for lunch?" Louis asked.

"I don't know actually" Darcy wondered out loud. "Yo, Re! What are you making anyway?"

"Chips and salad!" she called back. Louis started to open his mouth to say something. "With plenty of carrots before Louis opens his mouth" she added with a laugh. He nodded his head in approval.

Then there was a silence where we all just looked at each other. Darcy took it upon herself to break it. "How long were you guys stalking my doorway?" She was always a forward person.

"So Liss Niall has a professional over voice?" Louis smirked. I didn't back down.

"Yes he does. So you guys were listening from us introducing High Dive?"

"No, from the yelling before that" Niall grinned.

"Wait so that means you heard basically everything… which means you heard, oh my god!" Darcy's face went bright red and she hid into my shoulder. I patted her back; I knew which part she was remembering.

"Awww sweetie it's okay. I'm sure he's been told heaps of times he's sexy." I laughed.

"Thank you by the way" Harry grinned. Darcy looked up and she smiled back. I had a feeling she couldn't help it. Just the Maree re-entered and sat down on the other side of me.

"Not to be rude or anything, because I can already tell this is going to sound like we don't want you here, but I'm assuming you guys came here for a reason?" She was right it did sound rude.

"Valid question" Liam smiled "Well Harry here has only had his licence for a couple of months and while we were out sight seeing and we ran out of fuel because Harry thought we could make on a quarter tank of fuel back to Brisbane" The three of us couldn't help it, we all burst out laughing.

"Hey! It's not funny, it could happen to anyone" Harry defended himself.

"No it couldn't, it really couldn't" I managed to get out between giggles.

"I believe it could babe" Louis comforted Harry who was pretending to sob into his shoulder.

"LARRY STYLINSON!" The 3 of us all screamed at the same time.

"Hang on I'll be back!" I said and then skipped out of the room. I returned 30 seconds later with a small notebook.

"Really Liss?" Darce raised her eyebrow at me but ignored it and sat back down.

"What's that?" Zayn asked. Everyone was right. He was quiet, it was the first time he had said anything.

"This, Mr Malik, is my bucket list" I smiled and then flipped over a few pages and then found the box I wanted to tick. "Crossed that off my list, oh and I can cross that off too!"

"What are you crossing off?" Niall asked.

"Number 42 Meet One Direction and Number 44 See Larry Stylinson in person!" I felt Maree reading over my shoulder as I flipped back to the front. She stopped it at page 2.

"Hang on you can do Number 22 right now!"

"Re that would be a bit awkward" I muttered. Darcy stole the book and then read what it was.

"Yeah that would be awkward. You should do it and look you could combine it with 23 and get both done!" She grinned.

"What! No!" There was no way I was going to do it.

"C'mon you love making situations awkward! You said so this morning" Damn, Maree had out witted me.

"That is true"

"Hello, anyone care to explain what Number 22 is?" Harry asked.

"Oh what the hell!" I grinned and then stood up and walked over to Niall and… gave him a hug he hugged me back but it was only for a second before I pulled back. "Sorry about that! But Number 22 was hug and Irish person and 23 is hug someone randomly. You had to be the victim, sorry" I shrugged and ticked them off my list.

"I never thought you would actually do it, I'm proud" Darcy smiled. I quickly chucked my book back in my bag and then walked back to the couch.

"So anyway, what did you need?" Maree grinned.

"Oh yeah, do you have any spare fuel?" Liam asked, looking at me.

"Don't look at me I don't live here. Ask these to" I pointed to either side of me.

"Hey I'm sorting out the food. Speaking of which it should be done by now" she hopped up and left.

"Well that leaves me and I'm not finding it now because I'm starving. Sorry boys you're stuck with us for a little while longer" Darcy said.

"Well then come get food" Maree yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah buddy!" Niall let out a whoop and made bee line for the kitchen. Everyone chuckled and headed that direction too.

"Maree that was awesome!" Zayn said happily.

"Thanks" she blushed and looked down.

"So how old are you guys?" Niall asked.

"Well I'm 18 and taking a gap year and these 2 are 17 and in Year 12" Maree replied gesturing to us.

"Wait in Year 12?" Louis said. "Are you guy's super robots?"

"No in Queensland we graduate at 17 but they've changed it so in a couple of years they'll be 18 when they graduate" Darcy shrugged. I was sick of small talk.

"Okay this is something I've always wanted to know, is Harry really that much of a flirt?" I inquired as we stacked the plates in the dishwasher.

"You bet babe" he said with a wink.

"Wow that wink is really…" I trailed off.

"Really what? Sexy, heart-stopping?" Harry smiled wickedly.

"Creepy" I stated.

"Oh you wound me!" He gasped pretending he was stabbed in the heart.

"Did you just call his wink creepy?" Darcy looked at me.

"Maybe…" I knew I had released a monster.

"Oh you gots to get got!" she hollered and then hit me on the arm multiple times.

"Okay women geez! Harry I take it back, you have a knee weakening wink!" I called. Darcy stopped hitting me.

"That's better" she huffed.

"Why thank you Larissa!" Harry smirked at me why the others laughed.

"Didn't you have fuel to get them" I said.

"Oh right well we can all go get that" she walked towards the door and we all followed her out towards the shed.
