Girl Almighty

Part 17

Liz awoke to find Harry wrapped around her, his long legs tagled around hers. She could smell bacon and coffee from the other room, but couldn't find a nice way to extricate herself from his grasp.

"Harry" she said "Time to get up". He groaned and pulled her in tighter.

Out of desperation, she turned in his arms and began to tickle his naked torso. At first he merely grunted, but soon she found his weak spots and he opened his eyes.

"Hey!" he cried, grabbing her hands in his.  Before she could say anything the bedroom doors flung open and the rest of the boys pulled her into the living room.

"I could have been naked" Liz protested as the sat her on the couch.

"Wouldn't have mattered" Louie said, passing her a plate piled with eggs and bacon. "True" she agreed.

Liam emerged from the kitchen in his boxer briefs, and Liz couldn't help but smile. How was it possible that when they were not trying to impress her they walked around in sexy underwear?! She must have laughed out loud because Niall was looking at her strangely.

"Sorry" she said. "Just admiring the view" Liam's jaw dropped in shock.

"Oh hell no!" Niall cried and immediately stripped down to his underwear.  Harry chose that moment to come out of the bedroom. He looked at Liam and Niall, then to a smiling Liz.

"Finally" he said, stripping off his pajama bottoms.

Liz's phone rang, breaking the spell of the moment. "Liz, it's Diane at the clinic. Can you come in for treatment today? We want to draw some blood and thought we could do both at once."

"Sure, no problem" Liz agreed. "What time?"

"10:30?" Diane asked. Liz agreed and hung up.

"Problem?" Harry asked.

"No" Liz shook her head " I just have to go in for treament today instead of tomorrow." She stood up from the table.

"Thank you guys for all of this, it has been truly amazing" she said. "I'm going to run through  a shower and get ready to head out"

She hugged them each and went into the bedroom to get ready.

She soon emerged, wearing the jeans and shirt provided in her duffle bag. They were a really good fit. The guys were on the couch engrossed in a movie, so she smiled and snuck out the door.

When the room phone rang, Niall raced for it. It was the concierge wondering is he should call a car for Liz, as she was standing in the lobby. Niall cursed and told him to call her a car, but to find out where they were going.

"She snuck out" he told the boys. They looked at him with disbelief, and Liam checked the room. Her pajamas were folded neatly on the bed and her dress and jewelry hung in the closet. "She's gone" he confirmed.

"Well let's go" Louie said, running to get dressed. As Liz pulled away in her car, Niall had made arrangements for his car to be waiting downstairs.

The concierge had been very sweet to Liz, and she was touched when he insisted she allow him to call her a car. She tried to explain that she didn't have much cash but he interrupted her bysaying it was already taekn care of.  Helping her into the car, the concierge spoke to the driver for a moment and then stepped back, smiling and waving.

Liz had asked the driver to take her directly to the hospital, knowing she didn't have time to go home first. The drive was smooth, but Liz found herself getting frustrated as he stopped for every yellow light. On a few occassions he even stopped to let people cross the street against the light.

Finally arriving at the hospital, Liz practically jumped out of the car. She had just enough time to get to the oncology suite without being late.
