This Is Where It All Begins - Simon/Miniminter FF

A CHANCE

A/N: Sorry this is kind of short, it's a filler before a significant event... but still, enjoy the story xx

LAURA'S POV

She slid off her dress, took the shirt and pulled it over her head. Just as the soft fabric settled on her skin, she could smell the radiating scent of musk around her. Simon's shirt hung on her loosely, it was too big for her and made her look like she was wearing a t-shirt dress — similar to what Jo wore last night.

She stared at her own reflection, blowing air from her mouth upwards onto her messy hair. She untied her hair to let her natural curls take hold, folded her clothes from yesterday and headed downstairs.

'It's now or never,' she thought as she entered the kitchen.

She placed her dress on the marble island and unlocked her phone. She was greeted with a chain of messages:

'Laura where the fuck are you'

'I forbid you from getting kidnapped'

'wait a second did you leave with a dude'

32 missed calls from Jo

'I'm sorry for leaving last night with Connor omg please don't be dead'

'Call me back asap'

'Woah', Laura thought before tapping away...

'I'm safe Jo, dw about it', she texted before smiling, 'I stayed over at the sidemen house, I honestly can't explain over text, ttyl xx'

JJ enters the kitchen to see Laura barefoot and in Simon's t-shirt. 'Well, well, well I think you had quite some fun last night,' he taunted whilst wiggling his eyebrows.

Laura turned to see JJ with his arms crossed, stifling a smile. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and say, 'he slept on the couch JJ.'

He replied with a laugh, but before he shot back another taunt, she asked for the house address.

'Yeah, I need to call a cab,' she said whilst looking at her phone.

JJ was quiet for a while, then replying with "Where do you live? One of us may be able to drop you off."

"I live in Lancelot Place, in Knightsbridge," she replied.

"Oh, Simon needs to film in Hyde park today, which isn't too far away from your place, he could definitely drop you off," he said while opening a Froob.

"I'm sure he'd be more than happy to drop you there, just ask him, he's probably just finished showering," he said as he left the kitchen.

Laura stood there, with a confused look on her face. 'He really is pushing his luck,' she thought to herself before heading upstairs to ask Simon.

SIMON'S POV

He wrapped himself in a towel, then remembered that he needed to grab a new deodorant from his room since he ran out. His ran his hands through his hair, drying it slightly, before entering his room.

Simon had just put on his joggers and sprayed his deodorant before he heard a knock.

"Come in," he said while rubbing his towel on his hair.

Laura entered the room, with his t-shirt on. She was startled to see him half-dressed, and looked away.

"Hey Si- oh, ok, umm... sorry I'll come back later," she said while turning back towards the door.

Simon chuckled and said, "hey, it's all good, don't worry about it. What's up?"

'She's adorable,' he thought, smiling.

"ummm... JJ told me that you have to film at Hyde park today, so I was wondering if I could come with... because I live near there," she said with hand gestures.

Simon took a second to think, 'JJ, you're a genius.'

"Yeah, I have a small filming session today. It's in about 3 hours... maybe we can go get some breakfast first?" he asked with hope.

Her eyes went wide before she replied with "yeah for sure," before smiling at him.

'Thank you JJ,' he thought before putting his shirt on.

"Let's go downstairs, my keys are there," Simon said before leading them both downstairs.
