Friends with the Sidemen// A Miniminter Fanfiction

Chapter 9- Football & Friends

Simons pov
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today me and sidemen are off to a local football (soccer) pitch, to film some football videos. Even though its cloudy, and cold as hell, we already paid to use the pitch, so we're going. I grab my cleats and ball and shove them into a bag, I get dressed in some nike strikes, a nike compression shirt, and a dri-fit half-zip jacket. I throw a sweater in my bag for after, along with my soccer socks, and normal socks, a deodorant and a pump just in case one of the balls needs air. I grab my bag, phone and camera and head downstairs.
When I get downstairs all the sidemen are eating breakfast, they all stayed over night here last night after the meet up.
"Good morning Simon." Ethan says
"EMON IS REAL. NO PDA PLS" Vik screams, we all laugh and I throw an orange at his face, but he catches it. I get cereal and eat it quickly. We plan to be at the pitch for 10 am, its 9:30 and half of the boys aren't done eating, we're always late.
"C'mon boys, we're already going to be late!" I yell as I slip on my shoes, and take my things out to the car. I see Holly, she's just getting out of her car. She's wearing shorts that we're almost the same color as her skin, and a black, flowy, tank top. She looks gorgeous without even trying.
"Simon?" She asks
"I'm sorry what?" I say, my face feels hot.
"I said, where are you heading?"
"Oh! Me and the boys are heading to the football pitch for the day" I tell her, she nods.
"HI HOLLY" Harry screams from the door and comes out and greets us.
"Hello Harry, you seem to be in a good mood today" Holly says, looking him up and down, examining his sporty attire, I feel anger bubbling inside of me.
"I am, I love football! Its my favourite sport." Harry says, a little less excitedly
"Really, a lot of people here like soccer, I mean, football." Holly says, blushing a little because she called it soccer.
"Oh right, I keep forgetting that your from Canada, even though your accent kinda gives it away" Harry teases her. My hands are now clenched in fists. She blushes at Harry.
"Ok first of all, you're the one with the accent." Holly jokes, "And in Canada we play a real mans sport. Hockey."
"Shots fired" Vik laughs, walking up behind us.
"Ill show you a real man!" Harry exclaims, then throws holly over his shoulder and runs into the house.
"What the fuck." I say. Im speechless. "Hes so smooth." Vik just laughs and puts his things into the car.
We walk back into the house to see Holly playing fifa against Harry. Its 2-0 for her. She gets another goal as I walk closer.
"HOW?!?!?" Harry screams, placing his hands on the sides of his head.
"Well, there you go Harry," Holly says sassily, "now you guys have to get to the football pitch, Ill see you later" She says standing up from the couch. All the boys are watching her in silence. She walks over to me and stands on her tippy-toes and whispers "Sorry for delaying your plans" then she places a light kiss on my cheek, and walks away.
My face turns bright red.
"Holy shit." I say.
"Well, I think Simon might like our new neighbour. And, she might like him back." Josh says, examining what just happened.
"Congrats man. I wouldn't of thought a girl like that would've fallen for any of us." Tobi says, looking shocked.
"Boys, we gotta go." Vik exclaims. We all hurry out of the house and to the cars.
We finish playing football around 4 pm, we decide to go get something to eat and then head home. All the sidemen are going to come over after because we're renting the pitch again tomorrow.
We decided to eat at Nando's, which is all of our favourites, so it wasn't a hard decision. Josh has a crush on one of the waitresses at Nando's so that was another reason we went. He tried to flirt with her, then later found out she had a boyfriend. After that, we decided that we shouldn't go back to that Nando's for awhile.
"I just don't get it." Josh says, sadly, "She acted like she was single all the tikes before this, but she said they'd been dating for almost a year! What the fuck"
"I don't know, man. Girls are weirdos, no one understands them." Ethan says, trying to comfort him.
"Boys. Maybe another girl could enlighten us." I say, they both look at me in confusion, "Holly. Maybe she could come over later and explain women-logic to us"
"You just wanna see her, but I mean, it wouldn't hurt to try it..." Josh trails off.
"Fine then its settled! When we get home we'll invite her over!"
We get home around 7pm, I walk over to Jakes door and knock.
"Ay Simon! What can I do for ya today? Wait, theres not another football match, is there?" Jake exclaims excitedly.
"Oh, hahah, no, not today, I was actually wondering if Holly was home?" I stutter nervously. Jake steps out of the house and shuts the door behind him. Maybe this wasn't the best idea.
"What do you want her for?" Jake says quietly.
"Oh, well earlier she played a match of Fifa against Harry, and she said she would play me later! Also Josh is having girl troubles and would like someone to explain women to him." I explain
"Ok. I trust you. Just gimme a minute." Jake says as he walks back into his house. A few minutes later Holly opens the door, shes wearing very baggy, black sweatpants that say 'Hockey' across the bum, and a blue, tight fitting tank top that enhances her curves. Still looking flawless.
"Uh, hi Simon" She says, laughing a little. She must've seen me check her out.
"Oh, uh hey" I start, scratching the back of my neck. "I was wondering if you wanted to come over for a little and play some Fifa with me and the boys?"
"Uh, yeah, sure, I think that'd be fun! Just let me grab my phone!" She says hurrying back inside. She appears in the doorway again after a few seconds and we start towards my house.
"Boys, listen up!" I yell while pausing the tv. "Holly is here to play fifa with us and have a good time, so don't kill her please." I don't know why I said the last part, it doesn't really make sense, I just really wanted to tell the boys that Holly is here. To be seen with her, associated with her even, its a pleasure. She comes in and sits on the couch between Harry and Vik, she walks weightlessly and she doesn't seem nervous at all, maybe shes just good at hiding it.
"WOO YES" Harry screams, "I WON! I FINALLY WON" Him and Holly had played 4 matches of fifa the rest of us have been shooting a video.
"Wow, congrats man, it only took you four tries" JJ teased harry.
"Oh shit." Holly says, we all look at her. "Its 2:30am! I was supposed to be home!" Time really flies when shes here, we're too distracted by her beauty, and how fun she is to keep track of time."Ill just text my mom and say that I'lll be home soon." She says, not seeming too concerned about it anymore.
"Do you want to stay and watch a movie?" Harry offers
"Uh, yeah sure, if thats okay with the rest of you" She turns around and looks at us all, we quickly nod.
We decide to watch Identity Thief. Harry, Holly, Vik and Josh sit squished together on the couch underneath a blanket. I sit with Tobi and Ethan on the other couch. JJ decided to go to bed. I turn out the lights and press play.
Around 4:30 am the film gets over, I turn on the lights. Holly is sleeping and Harry is almost asleep too. I flick him in the forehead.
"Get up shithead we have stuff to do tomorrow." I say firmly.
"I can't. Im supposed to be sleeping right here, but she's here." Harry whispers. I look down at Holly, she looks precious, like a princess waiting for her prince. I can't wake her.
"What should we do then?" I ask. Harry and I make eye contact, I know what he wants me to do. I pick her up and carry her up the stairs. Once I get to my room I place her gently into my bed. I grab a pillow and a blanket for myself and get comfy on the floor.
"Goodnight Holly" I whisper and then doze off into a deep sleep.
