Papillon - HS

Chapter 9

I barely got to say goodbye to Harry because I was instantly pulled inside the room by Louis. He grabbed my arm, pulled me in, mumbled something to Harry, and slammed the door. He then pushed me gently until I ran and jumped on the bed, landing besides Niall.

"I wanna drink tonight," I told them excitedly with a little dance.

Louis scoffed and shook his head. Niall simply looked from me to Louis rapidly.

"Last time we took you drinking you fainted," Louis said.

Niall began laughing like a maniac and I simply hit him on the shoulder, a bit offended. Ouch, he said softly, using his hand to rub the pain away.

"Not fair, that was one time," I defended myself.

"You fainted, literally dropped to the floor," Louis kept saying.

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"We don't have to leave the hotel to drink, you know? Isn't there a mini bar in here?"

Niall began to nod then stood pensively.

"But the mini bar won't do much for the three of us," Niall said, Louis agreeing with him.

"True but we can just go to our rooms and get extra bottles from our mini bars," I tell them.

Louis and Niall looked at each other and nodded like crazy. Louis stayed in his room, looking at the bottles he would be drinking as Niall and I left for our rooms to retrieve our own bottles. I took a little longer and told them I would be changing into much more comfortable clothes. I took my makeup off too, knowing I wouldn't want to do it when I came back. 

I thought back to my afternoon with Harry. My stomach quickly churned with butterflies. I was still confused as to what that was. He did say he wanted it to be date, which I declined but then admitted it was one at the end. I did that mainly to tease him, leave him hanging. I couldn't let him know I was dying for it to be a date so I tried to play it cool. I felt like a little girl with a new crush, something I hadn't felt in such a long time.

I shook my head and headed back to Lou's room. Niall was already there and they got excited when I arrived.

"We were waiting for you, let's get this night started," Niall said.

We all took a mini bottle, opened and lifted it, looking into each other's eyes like it was a toast. The three of us were smiling like crazy as we tilted our heads backwards and let the liquid slid down our throats. I took a big gulp and closed my eyes, enjoying the tingling sensation of the alcohol entering my body. I shook my head once I had swallowed in an effort to have it affect me quicker. April swore by it, she always shook her head like a maniac whenever she drank. I didn't really know if it did work but did it anyway, I was willing to try.

"So, are you really not going to give us any details about your date with Mr. Harry Styles?" Niall asked, moving his eyebrows up and down. Louis laughed and clapped, rubbing his hands after and looking at me accusingly.

I laughed and shook my head, glad I wasn't blushing. I was thankful I was so used to being around them and didn't get embarrassed so easily. 

"I don't know what you're talking about," I tell them, shrugging it off as I took another sip of vodka from the mini bottle. I would be needing a new one soon.

Niall laughed this time and nudged me on the shoulder, Louis simply took another sip from his bottle too.

"Don't lie to us bumblebee, spill the tea. Is Harold a true romantic during his dates?"
