Aycie Locke

"Is that an apple?" is the first thing I hear, looking to see Louis squinting his face in disbelief.

"She's feeding me 'real food'" he nods putting air quotes on the last two words.

"I've not actually seen you eat a single fruit or vegetable the last year" another man observes, I didn't know his name yet, so I smile at him acknowledging what he said.

"She even made me this pasta the other night, you should all be jealous of me" Niall says from my side taking another bite of the fruit.

"That's not fair, what about me?" I look to see Harry speaking, getting offended at my lack of hospitality.

"I can make you some" I nod at him, smiling, sometimes it was hard to tell if he was being serious when he got all dramatic, but I wanted to be nice to him so I tried my best to offer what I could.

He stops flinging his arms around and softens his expression, smiling back to me.

"I like you" is all he says relaxing back against the sofa before he looks back to Niall "Are you jealous now?" He continues to ask him

"Not in the slightest, I already had some, so technically I'm winning" he glared back making Harry shrug his shoulders, they were just like kids.

Niall turns to me and gives me a reassuring smile before letting me follow him into the living room. We sat on the sofa with another person, I also didn't know his name, Harry, Louis and the man I smiled at earlier were on the other sofa

"What's their names?" I quietly ask under my breath to him.

"Oh shit, right Aycie that's Zayn" he starts talking pointing at the man on the other side of him on the sofa, I look to see and he smiles at me, I wave my hand back, smiling yet again.

"You know Harry and Louis, and then that's Liam" he points to the brunette sitting in the middle of them.

"You're the songwriter?" He speaks up with a friendly voice.

"Yeah, I brought my book for you" I answer picking my book up in the air pointing to it and he nods, smiling back at me.

Lots of smiles.

"Okay so before we get into the logistics of this whole thing, let me show you a few more songs" Niall says to them, I pass him my book, trusting that he was going to show them the same ones he saw earlier without going through my other ones.

Luckily I guessed right and he turned straight to the last bookmark at the back and signalled with his hand for them to come and look at the book informs of him.

"We performed this one, clouds, and it's one of my favourites, I think that's definitely one we could perform, it's meant to be on the electric guitar, but we only had an acoustic so we can try it out later" he nods and they all scan their eyes over the lyrics.

"Why didn't you tell me about these songs when I saw you the other day?" Louis looks to me after observing the page.

"I didn't know you needed songs" I reason.

"Ready to run" he nods at the next page and they scan the text, all agreeing that they liked it and he skips to the next song.

"Wait slow down" I hear zayn stopping him from turning over the page.

"One thing" he says pointing to the song on the page, the rest of them looking to see what he was looking at.

"How do you sing it?" Liam asks, leaning over the sofa
