The Boys Next Door

Swimming with Annabelle

When I finally make it home I have four unread texts three from Louis and one from Benton.

What's wrong? Come on you've seen me in my boxers before. This really is not a big deal! -Louis

SAWYER!! You're still coming to Zayn's right??? -Louis T

Come on beautiful text me back! This really shouldn't be this big of a deal... unless you're a virgin?! Holy shit. -Louis T

Baby...come back..... -Bent Tastic!

"God do guys get on my nerves. So what if I'm a virgin!?" I called Beckett before I texted either of them back. We're still going to Zayn's we just had to change clothes. No way we're we trekking over there just to have them try and feel up our skirts. "Hey at least Louis figured it out. Benton's just being needy."

I can hear her car pull into my driveway and I slide into my converse. It's too hot outside still for pants so I'm wearing another pair of my jean shorts and a The Maine tank top. My hair and make up are still the same from school and I've only just touched it up.

I hang up on Beckett and make my way downstairs. "Where are you going miss?" The house keeper/cook/my babysitter is standing in the door way to our huge kitchen as I try to make my way to Beckett. "Out with Beckett." I say smiling at Maria. She puts her hands on her hips and sighs. I know I have her. "Go. But be back by 11. Your parents are supposed to be calling by then to check up on you." I nod "Where are they this time?" They're always gone on business trips so I'm almost always alone. Maria works days and then Tyson the ex military sergeant works nights. He's pretty cool but he takes the fun out of most normal teenage rights of passage. No boys at night, no parties, and no sneaking out. He ALWAYS catches me. "I honestly don't know my dear, just be home by 11 okay?" She gives me a small smile before turning back to the kitchen.

Beckett's readjusting her make up when I climb inside her black Audi 500. She has on a Star Wars t-shirt and a pair of red shorts. She's curled her hair and has on eyeliner and mascara. "You ready?" She asks closing the overhead mirror and starting the car. "As I'll ever be." I mutter as she drives away. "I still don't know if this is a good idea." I say looking out the window. "Well I could take you back and go hang out with them by myself." Beckett says turning up the radio. I shake my head and start singing along with the 5 Seconds of Summer song.

We pulled into Zayn's driveway and all three boys come running out to greet us. "Hey you made it!" Liam yells opening my car door. "he seems so." I say smiling at him. They lead the way into Zayn's house were the grand foyer opens up to a massive living room. "I thought our houses were big." I mumble to Liam who sits down next to me on the couch. "Just wait. It gets better." Zayn pushes a button on this small black remote and this tv comes out from the ceiling being every bit 90" . "Wow." I say stunned. "It's every gamers dream." Louis says seeing me eye the play station 4 and Xbox ONE. "Games later. Let's go swimming!" Liam chimes in. Beckett protests but is already getting up to go get our spare swim suits from her car.

Once dressed we follow the boys out to the backyard which reveals a huge in ground pool with a massive water slide that looks like it's made of rock beside the waterfall. "Dude what does your dad do for a living?" I say eyeing everything. "He's an investment banker." Zayn says as he runs for the pool. I take off running next diving right in followed by the boys.

Beckett being Beckett walks over to the steps and sits down putting her feet in as she lathers on sunblock. I swim over to her, "Okay Morticia we get it. Your just missing your big black sun hat to go with you black 50's style swimsuit." She smiles brightly before saying, "You say that like you had no idea I would be this way." I shake my head and swim off to trip Louis underwater. He comes back up and takes me bridal style into his arms. "You've done it now!" He says as he throws me across the pool. I resurface beside Liam and I yank his swim trunks down. "Hey! No fair! I wasn't in on this!" Liam yells pulling them back up as fast as he can. I look over to see Zayn's tongue firmly down Beckett's throat and I make gagging sounds joined in by the boys until finally Beckett flips us off and starts asking to go inside and watch a movie.

Our biggest issue was picking which movie we are going to watch. The boys want Expendables 3 and we want Annabelle. Finally the boys give us what we want. I cuddle in the couch trying to ignore being placed between Liam and Louis while Beckett is sitting in Zayn's lap in the recliner. "If you get scared don't be afraid to hide in me. I'll protect you." Louis whispers in my ear. I can feel his breath grazing it. I shudder a little at the feeling, but I don't respond. I can feel him chuckle beside me. "You can take my hand if you need to." Liam leans in and says holding out his hand. I shake my head and grip the blanket I'm holding tighter. I will not be that girl.

I get up to go to the bathroom and when I come out I find Louis standing there. "Are we going to talk about you not texting me back?" He asks. "Nope." I say popping the P. "Well I think we should." He pushes the hair back from my face. Why do I always get this feeling when he's around?? He slowly leans in, our lips are almost touching, I close my eyes- "What's takin- Oh." Liam says staring at us as we jump apart. "Damn it." I hear Louis say under his breath. I can feel my face heating up. And I turn to go back to the living taking two steps and running right into the wall. I fall bashing my nose and causing it to start bleeding. "Well shit." I say looking up at the two boys who are now dumbfounded and trying not to laugh at me. "Hang on." Liam says grabbing some toilet paper from the bathroom. He holds my head back and helps me stand up a little wobbly.

I convince Beckett I want to go home, but before we leave the boys demand to take me home telling her not to waste her gas. "Are you saying I'm a waste of gas?" I huff. "No beautiful they're trying to make it where I can have alone time with Zayn." Beckett says with a wink. I nod strolling out of the house and into Louis' red Chevy Silverado climbing in the back seat. We sing 90's flash back songs the whole way home.

At my house Louis tells Liam he can go on inside he'll be there in a minute. He's going to kiss you. My mind says as Liam waves goodbye. Once Liam is inside and the door is firmly shut Louis pushes me up against my door kissing me deeply. "God I've waited since the very first moment I saw you to do that." Louis says when he finally pulls back. "Really? Because all I can think about is when I bashed my face into that plate of cookies." He smiles kissing my nose. "We ate those cookies ya know?" My jaw drops. "You ate my face cookies?!" Now he's full on laughing. "Best cookies we've ever had." He kisses me again before telling me goodnight and going next door.
"Oh god what have I gotten myself into!!!" I say to Pudgy my red and white corgi as he follows me to my room. I collapse on my bed and he scrambles up his steps so he can reach my face and shower me with kisses. "I love you too Pudgy."
