Coincidentally By Chance

Chapter 16

Around ten-thousand years later, the pizza man delivered the pizza. And I'm not going to lie, he was actually kind of attractive. He had messy brown hair that was swept off his face, similar to those youtubers, Jack and Finn Harries, and gorgeous grey eyes tinted with specks of light blue and green. I can't remember his name, which is quite a shame, but I guess it's not a big deal.

By now, I had eaten a whole pizza, Niall had eaten one, and Laelah was about three-fourths of the way through the last one. The TV was on and between bites, we were playing Guitar Hero- we had already completed all of the Mariokart races. I had the main guitar, Laelah was on the drum set, and Niall was playing the bass guitar, which he wouldn't quit complaining about.

"I hate the bass, the normal one is so much better... The chords on here are so boring and it's not nearly as fun."

"Quit nagging, you sound like my brothers..." I said while I moved my fingers on the buttons.

"Oh, how old are they, eighteen? Nineteen?" Niall asks.

"Try five."

He snorted, "I do not!"

"You do so! They constantly do the same thing you're doing right now!"

"Whatever."

We continued the song and I was winning. Thirty seconds later, it was over and the scores were displayed. I dropped the guitar on the floor and started running around the room, screeching at the top of my lungs 'I won! I won! I won!' Niall sat dumbstruck at the screen at our percentages, his mouth hanging open and his shoulders slumping down. 

Guitar 1..... 96%

Guitar 2..... 94%

Drums....... 99%

Laelah stood and joined my happy dance in front of the television- which included jumping, shimmying, butt-shaking, and Laelah twerking.

"I BEAT NIALL! MARK YOUR CALENDERS, I'VE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING! WOO!" I boasted while fist-pumping.

"How?" Niall whispers, "I actually play the guitar, and I've beat you the whole time we've been playing- all thirteen songs we've done so far- at 100% the whole time... How?"

I stopped and shrugged. Then I resumed to my previous actions, "I BEAT NIALL HORAN!"

He chuckled as I started doing random disco moves with a duck face plastered onto my mouth. I walked over and grabbed his wrist, forcing him to dance with me. Thankfully, he obliged and did some similar moves like mine.

Once we finished, we all agreed we were done and Niall was no longer accusing me of cheating. Laelah headed to her room, leaving me and Blondie in the living room downstairs. I pulled my phone from my pocket to see the time displayed on the screen.

"What time is it?" Niall wondered, moving closer to me.

"Nearly nine-thirty."

"Oh... Seems like it would be later than that."

"Yeah," I agreed, "Feels like eleven to me."

"Same here."

I slid my phone back into my pocket, "So what now?"

He thought it over for a few moments, "Come with me."

I didn't have a choice at this point, due to the fact I was being dragged away. He opened the door and before it shut, I screamed to my cousin, who was upstairs for all I knew.

"BYE LAELAH, I'LL BE BACK-uh... EVENTUALLY!"

The door closed and Niall lead me to the elevator at the end of the hallway. When we left Laelah's flat, Niall moved his hand so instead of gripping my wrist, he was- more or less- holding my hand.
