Perfect Picture

Not What I Seem.

Just fyi, I wouldn't go out alone with a boy but in this story it's ok because Becca is very mature. Ok I'm good.

Katy and Becca knocked on the Styles' door, waiting for about five minutes before someone finally answered. Mrs. Styles answered, and Becca took over, as Katy had a sudden burst of shyness.

"Hi Mrs. Styles. We made these cupcakes for you." Mrs. Styles, or Anne as we shall call her, looked delighted as she took the plate of cupcakes.

"Oh, thank you girls! Won't you come in?" Becca grabbed Katy's arm, pulling her inside gently, and Anne introduced them to Mrs. Horan, or Maura as she insisted they call her, and soon they were enveloped in friendly, comfortable conversation. 

Until about an hour later, Harry and Niall ran in, falling over and landing on top of each other as they slipped on the slippery marble tile. 

"Harry, Niall! Behave yourselves, we have company." Becca covered her face, trying to stifle a laugh.

"What's funny?" Katy whispered, looking at her friend weird. 

"It's so awkward being called company." Becca laughed quietly. Katy rolled her eyes but nodded in agreement. Maura and Anne hadn't noticed their little exchange as they were helping up Harry and Niall, so Becca and Katy stood up, Becca pushing her hands into her jeans' pockets, Katy just letting her hands hang down by her side. 

"Harry, Niall, this is Rebecca-" 

"Just Becca." Becca said, not taking her eyes off the floor.

"Oh, this is Becca Sawyer and Katy Black." 

"Yeah, we've met." Harry said, not sounding angry to Becca's surprise. Becca glanced up then shifted her weight to one leg.

"Yeah, sorry about that." She said, slightly awkward. Harry laughed and said, 

"It's fine, it was my fault anyway." Becca looked up and smiled uncertainly. Then Anne took it upon herself to say, helping up Maura,

"Well, we'd better get to making dinner. Will you girls stay?" Becca started.

"Oh we wouldn't want to intrude-"

"Nonsense! Maybe these lads will finally mind their manners at the table." Maura said, pretending to glare at Niall and Harry, if such a kind woman could glare. Niall flushed a little bit, making Becca laugh.

"Well, if you're sure we aren't intruding." Katy said, looking at Becca.

"No of course not. Sit down, we'll get started right now." Anne and Maura went into the kitchen, and Niall, Harry, Katy and Becca sat down on opposite couches.

"So, not to be rude or anything, just curious, but why are you two always in this house?" Becca queried, trying to get a conversation started.

"Why do you say 'always'?" Niall asked. Becca realized her mess up and bit her lip then shrugged.

"Um, no reason. Just...assuming." That was true, she'd only seen them in the same house twice.

"Oh. Well my mum and his mum got lonely with just us in the house so since we moved here, we live in the same house." Niall explained. Becca however was now confused.

"But my mom said your mom has a daughter as well." She said, looking at Harry.

"Yeah, Gemma. She's going to college right now, she won't be done for another year." Becca nodded then asked,
