Chapter 12

“Niall, could you please help me set up the lights?” I ask Niall and held out the endless string of lights. We were at the bakery today. Niall, Taylor, Carter, Charlie, Danny and I were currently decorating the place. The place was empty. Yes, empty. It was just 9:00 in the morning anyway.

“Where do you want the Christmas tree?” Danny asked, as he and Charlie brought in the tree from outside.

“I’ll help Niall.” Taylor said and started helping Niall untangle himself from the string of light. He was only holding the lights for about a minute. How could he tangle himself in that short period of time?!

I smiled at Taylor then I walked over to Danny and started telling them where I’d like the tree. “Place it at the corner over there.” I said, pointing to the corner near the fire place. They lifted the tree to where I asked. Charlie looked at me as if to say ‘Here?’

I shook my head. “A little to the right.” They moved it but is still didn’t look right.

“Um, a bit to the left.” I said and the moved to the left. It’s still didn’t look right!

“To the right maybe?” They moved a few inches to the right.

“Maybe to the—“

The two boys groaned making Niall and the girls laugh. “Brielle!”

“This is heavy you know.” Charlie said.

“Ok, fine. Set it down there.” I said. They placed the tree carefully and looked at me. I shrugged and said, “It doesn’t kill to be a perfectionist.”

“It kills the people who do the work for you.” Danny said, jokily. I rolled my eyes and swatted him on the shoulder. He laughed and went over to Carter who was setting up the stockings. I heard the little bell ring, signalling a customer. I looked to see who it was, only to find Louis and Harry.

“Santa’s helpers are here!” Louis exclaimed, holding a box of decorations. Louis was wearing a clown wig and Harry potter glasses. Harry’s curls were tucked into a beanie. He was wearing contact lenses and rectangular glasses.

“Hey guys!” Niall greeted. The others greeted them as well.

“Hey, babe.” Harry greeted as he walked over to me. His use of babe instantly reminded me of Liam. I hate how he always seems to get in my head.

“Hi, Harry.” I greeted him. He smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek making me blush. I still don’t know if we’re a couple or not. But it seems like we are.

“We could use another pair of hands over here!” Taylor called and gestured to Niall who was still tangled. Harry rolled his eyes.

“I’ll be back soon.” He said and walked over to Niall and Taylor. Louis was still there standing near the doorway wearing that ridiculous wig.

“No kiss for me?” He asked, smiling cheekily. I rolled my eyes and said, “Louis, do you have to wear that wig?”

“What? It’s my disguise.” He said and he put the box down.

“Next time, just put a hat on.” I said and pulled him into a hug. I put my hands on his wig and pulled it off his head. I pulled away and examined it.

“This,” I said gesturing to the wig.” Is for the circus.”

“I—“ Louis was cut off by Taylor screaming, “Yes!”
