Locking lips

Stef’s POV

Louis came in last and went straight to the kitchen. He looked back over his shoulder and gestured for me to come with him. I stood up and excused myself from the rest of the group and followed him through to the back lounge. I hadn’t been here before, but I could see that this was all sort of reserved seating for something a lot more formal. But it was quiet.

He sat down and I sat down next to him. “You haven’t told them about England have you?” He asked softly.

I shook my head. “I figured that you guys might like to tell them, because well it’s your choice really.”

He sighed and looked away from my eyes. “Stef, I dunno what’s gonna happen anymore. The board doesn’t know when the next tour is, but their saying that until they have definite plans, we can’t have any definite plans.”

“So, they don’t want you guys in any serious relationships.” I mumbled, my vision going slightly blurry as tears welled up in my eyes.

“Yeah, pretty much.” He replied. I leaned in and rested my head on his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around my waist and comforted me.

“When do you guys have to go back to England?” I could tell that my voice was shaking as I said this.

“We’re going back next Saturday. We’ve explained our situation to the board and they’re deciding if we can bring you back to England with us.” He explained.

“And when do you find that out?” I asked.

“Tomorrow morning. That’s why we invited you over tonight, so that in the morning, we’ll have a definite answer.”

“Ok.” I mumbled and snuggled up to him. I didn’t want to say anything else, just stay there.

Cassie’s POV

“And then he was all like; oh my gosh! And I was like; yup that’s me. And he just let us pass!” Zayn explained. We all laughed as we sat around the coffee table.

“So you got in for free?” Sarah asked curiously.

“Yup, and he didn’t argue either.” Zayn continued. “So we got you guys all something.” He looked around. “We’re missing two people.” He stated. I looked over at Sarah and she looked at me. I just knew we were thinking the same thing. “Come on Cass, we’ll go find them.” And Zayn grabbed my hand and began dragging me down the hall, leaving Sarah with Josh, Niall, Harry and Liam.

I caught up to him so that he wasn’t dragging me along anymore then he stopped. “Cass, that thing I was gonna tell you about-” He stopped short and we both heard footsteps getting nearer. “In here.” He pulled my into the cupboard just in time, as Stef and Louis walked past.

“Why’d you have to pull me into a cupboard,” I hissed. “We could quite easily have let them seen us. What difference would it have made if they’d seen us? Why couldn’t they have seen us? What is so important that you had to hide me away in a cupboard so that you could tell me? You know that they’re gonna find out that we’re not looking for them so you better hurry up and-” He pulled me close and kissed me. Probably to shut me up.

“Where is it? In here? Oh ok.” At that moment Sarah opened the cupboard, saw us and shut the cupboard. “Never mind.” I heard her say, as she backed away from the cupboard.

“What?” I heard Josh say as his voice gets louder, meaning he’s getting closer. “Was it a spider or something?” He opened the cup board and shut the cupboard and waked away. “No. It was worse than that.” I heard him say.

I pulled back and laughed. It was a funny moment. And awkward. “What’s so funny?” He asked.

I rolled my eyes. “That they think that we’re so cute together and shit.” I smirked.

“And...” He tried to get me to continue.

“And? What else is there?” I asked, confused.

“And that I am amazingly good looking.” He smirked.

“No. Come on.” I pulled him out of the cupboard and was met by everyone else.

“Were you guys seriously making out in the cupboard?” Niall asked.

“We were not making out thank you very much.” I eyed Sarah and Josh and they both shrugged.

“Then what were you doing? Might I ask.” Harry asked with a tang of jealousy in his tone.

“We-we-we were umm...” I spluttered.

“We were having a moment to ourselves.” Zayn explained casually.

“Right.” Josh said, crossing his arms.

“We were.” I defended. Josh rolled his eyes. I gave him a warning look and he just smirked.

“It’s about time to eat isn’t it?” Niall asked loudly, grinning.

“Yeah. I’m starved.” Sarah complained. We all ventured back to the kitchen to get some food.

“Why don’t we have any food Niall?” Louis asked, eyeing him off as we all searched the cupboards.

“I was hungry.” He shrugged.

“Can we order in?” Harry asked.

“Nando's!” Niall screamed.

“Sure, why not?” Zayn asked. He then grabbed his phone and was about to order when Niall snatched it out and ordered like everything.
