we walked back down the stairs and it had been quiet since me and niall left I'm guessing. everyone had now gathered over by the fire place and were now starring at niall and I. Instinctively I took nialls hand as we had finally met them and now stood in front of all them.
"so..." Liam said breaking the awkward silence.
"how about we open the presents and eat some cake. which ever one you want to so Ashley." he finished off while looking at me.
"um, let's do the cake first. please." I replied shyly. niall was still holding my hand once I finished my sentence so, might as well take him in the kitchen with me.
"so which piece do you want?" Louis said while looking at me.
"HEY! I wanna cut the cake, louis! you said," Liam screamed from another part of the house.
"I said nothing. besides, I'm the oldest. I get to cut the cake." liam looked a little sad but I knew he would get over it soon.
"some convo you and niall had up there."
"you herd?"
"I did. we all did. the walls aren't very thick."
"here," he handed me my cake.
"be good."
"okay dad."
I took my cake with one hand because niall was holding on to my other one and we walked to the couch.
"hey where's Zayn?" I asked liam. niall finally let my hand go but I guess that ment I had to sit on his lap, since that's where I was currently at instead of a cushion on the couch.
"oh, he left a second ago." he replied.
what. three best friends lost.
