Just Like a Stallion (Harry Styles)

Chapter 4

I walked over towards the entryway, bracing myself for what was to come, and opened the door to find four attractive looking boys beaming at me.

“Hi Charlie!” they said in complete unison.

Before I could say anything, they barreled on in greeting Harry as they situated themselves on the sofa and armchairs. I felt a bit uncomfortable, and mumbled to myself “Hi, thanks for coming though I really didn’t invite you.”

After closing the door, I entered the living room to find them all relaxed and watching a football game on the television. I was at a loss for words on what to say, when the blonde one began to speak.

“Well I hear you don’t know us, so boys why don’t we introduce ourselves’?” he said with a smile. 

“I’m Niall,” the blonde one said, taking a funny bow. He must be Irish, the accent sounded like a St. Patrick’s Day sound card I’d receive from relatives.

“We technically already met on the phone,” he grinned, “but I’m Louis.” I had to admit, I found myself very attracted to Louis. His brown messy hair, pretty eyes, and such a sweet voice. Before I stared at him for too long another voice sprung up.

“I’m Liam!” said another brown haired guy as he went to shake my hand. What a gentleman.

Then finally, the dark haired fellow with such a sweet face and stubble, said “Hey, I’m Zayn.”

I hated admitting this to myself, but they were all extremely handsome. None of them gave off that arrogant, oh I’m better than you, vibe. They all seemed warm, funny, and genuine. I smiled at all of them and gently sat myself down on the carpet near Liam’s leg. My flat was tiny as it is, seating arrangements for 5+ people really was not an option. 

“Harry you dick, let your girlfriend sit in your spot!” Louis yelled.

Come again?

The boys all started to snicker, and I just had a look of complete confusion plastered on my face. As Harry began to stand up, he shot Louis a look of disapproval.

“Whoa… whoa… whoa…” I growled. “I’m NOT his girlfriend….I’m nobody’s girlfriend,” I said quietly. 

I cut Louis off saying, “I am perfectly fine sitting on the carpet, thank you very much!” Crossing my arms like a little child might.

They all gave each other grinning looks when Maxine trotted to me, rubbing against my arm to show some sympathy for me. 

Harry then broke silence, “I didn’t know you had a cat.” In a tone, that sounded like it was something I should have mentioned to him.

“Maybe if you weren’t so busy drooling over my underwear, you’d of noticed,” I growled. 

The other four boys exchanged looks of amusement while me and Harry had this lovely banter. 

“Ermm… I think we missed something here,” Liam spoke awkwardly, giggling with the others. 

Niall, completely ignoring the subject, then said, “’Oi Charlie, got any food? I’m starving!”

I was furious, but satisfied that Niall drifted the discussion away from my lingerie. I calmly stood up and headed for the kitchen. I didn’t realize that Niall had also gotten up and raced ahead of me opening the fridge.

“Damn Charlie, are you some type of health freak? All that’s in here are fruits an’ vegetables!” He yelled jokingly. The others gave me a funny look.

“I’m a vegetarian smart one!” I said laughing slightly.

“Oh, well that explains it then, I could never do it, congrats to ya” he said giggling, “Well got any type of junk food?”
