(BOOK 2) Summer Love - A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter Three - The Beach House

A sudden jolt in the bus causes you to wake abruptly.  You are a bit sore all over from being in the small space.  You try to sit up but remember you can’t when you nearly hit your head on the ceiling.  You can hear the boys laughing in the other room.  You smile and carefully and quietly jump down. 

“Hey wake up (Your Name), we’re almost there!” you hear Louis say.

You push aside the curtain and walk into the main room where all of the boys are watching you.

“Look out the window,” Zayn says, pointing.

Outside you see palm trees and bushes going by.  California.

“We’ll be at the house any minute.  I’ll grab your bag, (Your Name),” Liam says, walking back to the closet. 

“Thanks, Liam,” you say.

“No problem.”

You make yourself comfortable next to Zayn on the couch.  Niall notices and looks at you.  You see him and smile, causing him to smile back.  Suddenly the bus began to slow down.

“Hey, look boys!” Louis shouts.  “We’re here!”

Louis opens the door and the warm California air comes rushing in.  Harry takes a deep breath. 

“Well come on, let’s go!” Louis exclaims, jumping out.

You giggle and follow him while Liam follows you with your suitcase.  The other three boys come eventually while Louis is unlocking the front door to the house.  Now you notice how large it is.  But what is that on the roof?  A pool?!  You almost shriek with delight.  Louis finally gets the door open and everyone is eager to get inside.  A wave of cool air sweeps over you as you step inside.  Liam flips on the light.  You are startled to see this amazingly decorated summer house.  The flooring and walls are wooden.  There were three orange couches with black and white pillows set up in front of a fire, but you wouldn’t know why you would ever need to build a fire with these temperatures.  There was an orange rug with black and white wave designs going randomly across it to match the couch.  Lamps were placed in the corners of the room.  Along the left wall you see a counter surrounded by tiles.  It is equipped with several cabinets for snacks.  Next to it, you are delighted to see a large, crystal-clear window through which you have an excellent view of the beach and the ocean.

“What do you think?” Liam asks.

“It’s amazing!” you say, snapping out of it. 

The other boys go get their things from the bus and begin bringing it inside with some help from people who followed them here for that reason.  You walk around the corner to find a fully furbished kitchen with a wrap-around counter and an island.  Right next to this you see a wooden table on which you will have many meals with the boys this summer.  You exit the kitchen and walk down the left wall past the miniature counter.  You glance behind it and something catches your eye.  It’s a bottle of wine sticking out of a drawer.  You look back at the boys.

“Ah, Niall, why’d you pinch me?” Louis shouts.

“I didn’t pinch you!” Niall protests.

“Yes you did!  Liam, Niall pinched me!” Louis shouts louder.

“I did not!” Niall yells.

You roll your eyes.  You can’t possible picture the boys drinking.  You continue your exploration by walking along the left wall until you come to some stairs. 

“Here’s your bag, (Your Name,” Liam says, coming up to you.

“Oh, thanks Liam,” you say.
