A Twist of Fate (Harry Styles/Niall Horan love triangle)

(chp 9) Movie Night

Riley, Belle, and I walked downstairs and into the parlor, equipped with our pjs, The Hunger Games blanket, and of course the movie. As we entered the room, we could see that the boys already prepared the room by laying blankets and pillows in a circular shape near the tv and on the couch. The bar at the far corner of the room had on top of it liters of every type of soda you could possibly think of and bags upon bags of chips and sweets. I felt fatter just by looking at it. Niall had already started helping himself to the snacks as he stood with Zayn, Liam, and Louis near the bar. I stared at Liam and Louis to see if I could see the faintest hint of awkwardness or maybe even anger, but nope, they chatted away as if nothing ever happened. So all boys need is to punch each other in the face once to make amends? Boys are weird.

Louis spotted us at the entrance. “Ah, ladies can I interest you in some chips….butterfingers…” he looked at Niall. “Anything Niall hasn’t shoveled into his stomach?” He joked.

Niall laughed. “Shut up Lou! I didn’t eat everything, I simply sampled, well except for the Reese’s pieces cuz that’s Cass’s favorite, right Cass?” He said smiling at me and lightly shaking the small box in his hand.

I smiled back. “You’re my hero Horan.”

“So what have you guys decided to watch, because whatever it is, is being vetoed.” Riley said matter of fact. “We’ve decided on The Hunger Games.”

“But we want The Cabin in the Woods!” Zayn said.

Belle walked over to him. She gave a sad pout and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Please Zayn! Im so excited to watch it with you.” She sadly whimpered as she continued to pout. Man is she good.

“Alright, I vote The Hunger Games, too.” He said giving in. Belle smiled and hugged him tightly.

Riley looked over towards Liam and Louis. “I want to see it really bad too.” She stated as she clutched the movie to her chest.

“I’m in!” Liam and Louis stated at the same time, all too eager to impress.

“What the hell is wrong with you guys?!” Harry said from behind me. I turned to look at him. Of course he was the only guy who decided to only wear pj pants to the movie night, leaving his chest bare. Realizing that I was staring a bit too long, I quickly turned back to my original position. “Sorry girls, but majority rules and the guys want to watch The Cabin in the Woods.”

Belle gave him the dirtiest look possible.  Before this got violent I thought of an idea. “Why don’t we watch both?”

“Great idea!” Liam said.

“The Hunger Games first!” Riley said as she popped the movie into the dvd player.

Harry didn’t look too happy about it, but he just sighed and let it go. As he walked toward the bar, he brushed past me and whispered in my ear, “Like what you see?” I quickly turned toward him, flushed, knowing that I had been caught. He smirked and winked at me. “I see all.”

“You clearly don’t wear all. Put on a shirt.” I said, trying to regain my composure.

“We both know that’s not what you want.”

Completely stumped, all I could do was stick my tongue out at him and head towards the couch.

Belle excitedly led Zayn away from the bar and sat on the floor closest to the tv. “You’re going to love it!” I could hear her whisper as she leaned against him.

Riley sat down on the couch, with Louis and Liam sitting on either side of her. Liam was trying to make her as comfortable as possible, while Louis was offering her every snack and beverage under the sun.
