My Once in a Lifetime (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 24: Truth Be Told and Fun Be Felt For

Alyssa's POV

I cannot believe I'm boiling water with THE Eleanor Calder. Yea, I'd imagine a more formal first-meets but this could do.

Am I awkward? Am I that anti-social!? AM I WEIRD!? Because the silence here is deafening here! Maybe she doesn't like me after I yelled at them before they took their hoodies off..

"The water is done!" Eleanor exclaimed as she took a a crisp from the giant Walkers from the cupboard. She then took the kettle and poured the contents in all of the cups. I don't know but she does it perfectly and with grace.

"Really? Then let's drop it while it's hot!" Okay wait, where the hell did that came from!? Oh god, of all the puns!? THIS IS WHY YOU THOUGHT OFF!? Really brain? Really?

Thinking that she'd probably roll her eyes at the thought of my joke, she just laughed loudly.

"That's funny!" She said, laughing as she held her sides to refrain her from expressing her humor loud enough. Yes! She took it. I don't know why though. That pun sucked.

I laughed as well. "Well come on then, let's flavor these tea."

"No wait. I believe we haven't introduce ourselves yet. Formally, that is." She said, smiling. Aw! "I'm Eleanor. Eleanor Calder." She smiled, extending her hand to me.

I shook her hand, "And I'm--"

"Alyssa Brighton. The oh-so girlfriend of Harry. Nice to meet you." She laughed. She is adorable. "How did I know? Well for the past week, there's nothing I've heard from Harry's mouth that isn't you." She giggled, as I blushed.

"Is.. Is that so?"

"Aww, you look cute when you blush. I am looking forward to be bestfriends with you!"

She wants to be bestfriends with me. WITH ME.

"Hello Elle! Hi Lyssieeee!" Kristina greeted as Emma followed her trail. "Thought you guys might need some help."

"And I thought that I should be more polite with guests." Emma added as her smile on her face got wider, seeing Eleanor beside me. Nice timing guys! Exactly when I was conversing with Eleanor.

"No need to, Emma dear. This isn't your house and all. Hehe." I said as Ems glared at me then went back to her pretty face when switched her gaze at Eleanor.

"Oh hi! My name is Eleanor! You guys are?" Eleanor exclaimed, approaching her. She is so nice, now wonder Louis fell for her. Not only for her looks because dammit, I would go lesbian for her. Oops. Joking.

"M-m-my name is.. Is.." Emma said, gobsmacked at Eleanor. Eleanor giggled. Look at her, forgetting her name.

"Her name is Emma. She forgot, sorry." Kristina said frankly.

"I didn't! You're just so pretty." Emma replied smiling at Eleanor, her eyes glistening.

"Is that so? Well, nice meeting you Emma. I hope we become good friends."

"Certainly!" She replied as they shook hands.

"And I am Kristina!" She laughed, "Nice to meet you finally, Eleanor!"

"You guys are so cute, pretty and courteous. Nice to meet you beautiful people." She smiled. She is so nice. And she isn't fake either. I want to be her but I can't.

Look at them, laughing and having a nice conversation while I put the cups on the tray. Yep, they were here to help me alright.

"The snacks are done and ready!" I said as the girls approached me. I started cleaning the mess I've made while making the tea and the crumbs of the crisps. "You can go ahead and give it to them. I can handle these."
