When We Meet

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Piper’s POV

“Let’s go,” Riley says, pulling me towards our parked car.

“Sheesh, somebodies impatient today,” I grin. Conveniently, both of the last classes we had today ended at 3:00, so we were both able to drive home together. Instead of one of us taking the car and the other getting a ride with a friend or taking the bus.

“I’m not impatient,” Riley argues. “I just don’t wait well,”

“Well, when you put it that way it makes much more sense,”

We both clamor into the car and throw are stuff in the back. After a little ride we arrive back at our flat and go up to it. I unlock the door and we both walk in. I flop down on the couch as Riley shuts the door behind her.

“We have no food left,” Riley calls from the kitchen as I turn on the TV to watch Family Guy. “I’m heading over to the market, I’ll be back in a little while,”

“Ok, have fun,” I say with my attention still focused on the TV. “Drive aggressively, make enemies, try not to get killed,”

She laughs at my advice and grabs her coat and purse. The door closes behind her and I’m left alone.

It’s only 3:30 now so I decide to paint my nails a cute mint colour. A little while ago, the greenish mint colour became my new favourite colour and now I’m kind of obsessed with it.

I finish putting on the topcoat and hold my nails out in front of me to examine them.

I nod to myself, fairly pleased with the result. After the nail polish dries I find my mind wandering back to thoughts of tonight, and seeing the boys.

I glance over at the digital clock we have hanging on the wall.

“Riley, it’s 6:45. Time to go!” I call out to her from where I’m sitting.

“Okay, I’m coming,” She rushes down to were I’m waiting and grabs her phone of the counter, shoving it in her pocket.

“All ready,” She announces.

“Great,” I grab my jacket and we head out the door.

“PIPER, RILEY,” Louis says as he opens the door to let us into their massive flat.

“Hey, Louis,” I say and he pulls both of us in for a hug.

“The boys are just in the other room,” Louis explains and then leads us the living room where we eat dinner the other day.

“Hey girls,” Liam greets us and gives us both a hug.

“Hey,” Zayn says and also gives us quick hugs.

“Food Buddy!!” Niall yells and runs up to me as he walks into the room.

“Nialler!” I yell back at him. He pulls me into a bone-crushing hug.

“Well, don’t crush her,” I hear a deep voice say from behind me. Niall releases me from the hug, still grinning and I turn around to see Harry standing there.

“Harry!” I go up to him and pull him in for a hug too. He’s kind of like hugging a giant teddy bear, because he’s so warm and tall.

“Nice to see you too,” He chuckles as we pull away.

“OH MY GOD, WE’RE MATCHING!” I yell when I see his 'Hipsta Please' tee shirt and gesture to my tank top. He laughs and yells back at me.

“TEE SHIRT BUDDIES!” I laugh at him and turn to Zayn.
