-sydney's pov-
i placed the tomatoes down onto the cutting board and made my way to the door while humming.
as i opened the do- oh man.
it was the four soldiers from upstairs all smiling goofingly at me.
"um hello?" i asked, confusingly.
"we're bored so can we hang out at your place?" Luke asked me.
"um........." i was starving and four boys came to my apartment to hang out because they were bored.
"pleaseeeeeeeee" calum said and his eyes were wow don't even talk about it.
"sure i guess..." i scratched the back of my head and they all ran inside except for ashton.
"thanks for letting us in, they're annoying jerks." he smiled at me.
"no problem." i smiled back and i swear i felt a spark.
"guys im erm actually cooking dinner so, have you guys had your dinner, i can cook for five." i asked as i went back to the kitchen.
"no we haven't had dinner yet, whatchu making?" luke said as he was looking around my apartment.
"your apartment is really pretty" calum said.
"thanks calum, im making bolognese spaghetti." i started to chop the tomatoes.
"bolognese sounds good, thanks syd." Ashton said, smiling and i returned the smile.
"well someone's close." mike smirked.
"shut up mike." Ashton rolled his eyes blushing.
I turned back to my cutting board, blushing a little as well.
i was currently prepping the ground beef when i noticed something and immediately dropped the spoon back into the bowl.
what were the boys doing? why weren't there any noises? something must've went wrong.
i turned back and i was as scared like how someone would scare you.
the boys were all behind the counter, staring at me.
"um what are you guys doing?" i asked.
"staring at you." cal stated the obvious.
"you're hot." mike said and cal and luke nodded while ashton was cracking up a tiny smile.
"yea um thanks but im trying to focus here and i can't focus when you guys are being too quiet so why don't i erm turn on the tv for you?" i said and went to the living room, awkwardly.
i turned on the xfactor show.
"alright so watch the show and i'll be back soon with food." i said, sounding like a mother as they all nodded their heads obediently.
alright, so fried the onions and garlic till they were fragrant, added in the minced beef, poured in the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock, let it boil, add in the pasta, in this case, im using spaghetti, let it cook and the sauce should've reduced by half, added some Parmesan cheese at the top with some fresh greens, parsley.
"IM DONE!!!!" i yelled, i couldn't help it, it was my first time cooking for guests and i was super duper excited.
i placed the bowls of pasta onto a big tray and went to the living room.
"syd, it smells good!!!!" luke said as he gave two thumbs up.
"sure does!" i smiled.
"cal, this ones for you, mikey, here ya go, lulu, careful it's hot and ashton, i hope you like it." i said as i gave each of them their own bowls.
"nice nicknames syd" Michael laughed.
i sat down on the floor infront of the couch and ate with them while watching xfactor.
"wow syd, please be my cook." cal said as he took a giant slurp of pasta.
cal and lulu were both sitting on the couch while ash and i were on the carpeted floor.
"syd, it's really good, thank you for making us a wonderful dinner." ash turned to me and smiled.
"it's no problem, you guys are pretty cool, you guys are free to come back anytime." i said and the room was filled with cheer.
"thanks syd for the dinner!!!" they all said and i chuckled at their cuteness.
"it's no problem, I'll see you next time." i waved goodbye and closed the door.
after freshening up, cleaning up the apartment and the dishes, i sank right onto my comfy bed, hoping for a good first day of work tomorrow.
