My hard pillow slipped from underneath me and I regained consciousness. My heavy eyes slowly opened and attempted to focus. I saw Dan getting out of the bed and walking to the bathroom. I'm guessing he was my pillow. My eyes shut again and I slipped back into a dreamless sleep.
"Lily" someone whispered.
"What?" I groaned burying my face into the fluffy pillow.
"Lily" they said a little bit louder.
"No" my voice was muffled by the pillow.
"Oi, Lily, get up, quick, look" as they spoke in their normal voice I realised that it was Dan.
"No, Dan go away" I moaned.
"Okay, I get it, you're not a morning person, but come on, seriously wake up, we need to go" Dan laughed.
"Noooo" I groaned.
"You'll have to turn up to Glasgow in your pyjamas." Dan laughed.
"I'm not in my pyjamas" I said looking at him.
I remember going to sleep in my clothes, we just fell into bed when we got in, I don't remember changing.
"Yes you are, and you will be staying in them if you don't get up" Dan laughed.
I looked down at myself and Dan was right, I was in my pyjamas.
"How did I get into my pyjamas?" I asked cautiously.
Did Dan change me? Oh god, please say no.
"Don't you remember? We fell asleep but then you woke up complaining that you were uncomfortable in your clothes so you got changed" Dan laughed.
"No, I don't remember that..." I trailed off.
"Some part of me thought that you were still half asleep or something because you were speaking in a monotone voice." Dan laughed.
"Well, I must have been, because I don't remember waking up." I laughed and hopped out of bed.
I padded over to my suitcase and pulled out my blue jeans and my plain white T-shirt. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I quickly jumped into the shower and washed my short hair. I hopped out and quickly changed into my clothes. I brushed my teeth and applied some makeup. I rolled up the sleeves on my T-shirt and slipped my glasses on.
"Lily!" Dan called as he knocked on the bathroom door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming" I laughed as I opened the door.
"Took your time" he chuckled.
"Well, it takes time to look this good" I said adjusting my glasses.
Dan raised his eyebrows in a playful manor and I laughed.
"I'm kidding" giggled.
"I know" he laughed.
"Daniellaaaaaaa" someone shouted as they hammered their knuckles on our door, definitely Kyle.
Dan laughed and opened the door, letting Kyle, Will and Woody inside.
"Morning Lil" they greeted me as they walked past me.
"Hey guys" I smiled and sat on the bed next to Kyle.
"What time do we have to be in Glasgow for?" Kyle asked.
"Well our show is tomorrow, but they want us there today" Dan said.
"Okay, so when are we leaving?" Kyle asked.
"Whenever" Dan shrugged.
"I'm hungry" I butted in. I immediately regretted it because I sounded so rude. "Sorry"
"What are you apologising for? Come on, let's get some breakfast" Dan smiled.
He held his hand out and I took it willingly. He helped me up and we all walked out of the hotel. We walked down the street and found a small cafe. Will pushed open the door and we followed him inside. There was a waitress standing in the entrance. When her brown eyes landed on us she smiled.
"Hello, table for five?" She asked.
"Yes please" Will replied.
"Okay, come this way" she said and trotted off to a table by the window. "Is this okay for you?"
I smiled but Dan exchanged a look with the guys saying no.
"Um, sorry, is there anywhere more private?" Dan asked shyly.
"Yes, of course, right this way sir" the waitress smiled.
She led us to a small booth in the corner of the restaurant.
"How about this one?" She asked politely.
"Yes thank you" Dan smiled.
"Okay, I'll be back shortly with menus" she smiled and dashed off.
Dan slipped into the booth and I followed. Then Kyle, Will and Woody slotted in next to us. We just sat in silence until the waitress returned. She handed out the menus and disappeared with a smile. My eyes scanned the menu for something that caught my eye. Nothing did though. I peered over to Dan's menu to see if his was different, but it wasn't.
"You okay Lil?" Dan asked.
"What? Me? Yeah" I stuttered.
"Do you know what you want?" Dan asked.
"Uh, not yet, what are you having?" I asked politely.
"Well, I might have these" he said flipping the menu over and pointing to some pancakes.
"Ooh" I turned my menu over to see loads more delicious dishes. "Yum"
Dan laughed as I gawked at the pictures of the delicious food. My eyes scanned the page and they landed on a Nutella covered waffle. Perfect.
"Ooh, I think I'll have the Nutella covered waffle" I licked my lips at the thought of eating it.
"Okay" Dan laughed and so did everyone else.
I blushed and covered some of my face with my hair to hide my pink cheeks.
"Are you ready to order?" A woman asked, making my head snap up.
The waitress was standing there holding a notebook and a pen. Dan looked at me and smiled, indicating for me to order first. I blushed and looked back at my menu.
"Uh, I'll have the Nutella waffle please" I smiled, looking back up.
"Of course" she smiled and scribbled in her notebook. "And for you?" She asked turning to Dan.
"The chocolate pancakes please" he smiled.
"Of course, and for you?" She asked turning to Kyle.
"The same as Lily please" he smiled.
"The Nutella waffle?" She asked.
"Yes please" Kyle nodded.
"Sure" she smiled. "And for you?"
"Nutella on toast please" Will smiled.
"Of course, and for you?" She turned to Woody.
"Chocolate pancakes please" Woody smiled.
"Of course, would you all like to order drinks?" She asked looking between us all.
"Uh, yeah" Dan said.
"What would you like?" She asked and I scanned the drinks section in the menu.
"A water for me please" Dan said as my eyes continued to scan the page.
"Make that two waters please" Woody said.
"Three please" Kyle said.
My eyes rapidly scanned the page for something I liked. I stopped on a strawberry milkshake, would I be allowed that? Or is it too expensive? Argh, I don't know.
"Can I have a strawberry milkshake please?" Will asked.
"Of course" she smiled.
"Uh, could I have a strawberry milkshake too please?" I asked.
"Sure, I'll return shortly with your order" she smiled and ran off.
We were just sat talking when I saw a group of very familiar people enter the cafe. My eyes landed on a boy with curly brown hair and glasses. His name popped into my mind and my heartbeat increased. It was Will. Oh my god. I looked down at an attempt to hide my red cheeks. Someone nudged me in the side and I looked up. Dan was sat there with a large grin on his face.
"Lily, look who it is" he whispered into my ear.
Obviously he guys heard as they all turned round to look at who Dan was talking about. They all turned back with large grins on their faces.
"Ooooh Lily's got a boyfriend!" Kyle nudged my side with his elbow.
"Shut up, no I've not" I whined.
"Yeah you haveeee, Lily's got a boyfriend, Lily's got a boyfriend" Kyle teased.
"Kyle! No I've not!" I almost yelled.
"Sorry" he muttered and looked at the table.
"Sorry Kyle" I mumbled and looked at the table too.
"Lily, he's looking over here" Dan whispered.
"Go away" I dug my elbow into his side.
"Oh, Lily he's spotted you, oh crap, he's spotted me looking at him, crap, oh" Dan said slightly panicked.
"Then stop looking over there" I laughed, looking up and meeting Dan's embarrassed gaze. "You fool" I laughed.
"I ain't no fool" Dan said in a failed American accent.
I burst out laughing and put my head on the table. I lifted my head and my eyes met a pair of familiar brown ones. I was staring right at Will and he was staring right at me. We were having that awkward eye contact that you just can't break, no matter how hard you try, you just can't look away. A blush crept onto my cheeks and I heard girly giggling coming from the guys.
"Ooooh" they all sang.
I snapped out of my trance and glared at the guys.
"Shut up" I laughed.
I looked back at Will who was signalling to the toilets with his eyes. Did he want me to go to the toilet? Why? Oh, he wanted to talk to me in private. I blinked a few times and turned to the guys.
"I need the toilet" I stated and shuffled over Kyle.
I walked away from the table and into the door marked toilets. There was two doors in front of me, ladies and gentlemen. I waited there for a minute or two before the door opened and Will walked through.
"Uh, hi" he said shyly.
"Hi" I said back equally as shyly.
"So, uh, I thought you said that you were leaving today?" He asked.
"Yeah, we're going after breakfast" I smiled shyly.
"Oh, cool" he said awkwardly.
We were stood there, trapped in an awkward silence. I looked at my feet and back up at Will. Oh my god this was awkward. I am going to regret this.
"Well, I better go, nice meeting you again. Uh, bye" I said awkwardly and turned to go back out of the door.
Will caught my hand again and spun me round. Before I had chance to object his lips were crashing into mine. After a moment of hesitation, I kissed him back. It was magical and also my first kiss. He pulled away slowly and a large smile spread across his face.
"Wow" he whispered. "You can't leave" he chuckled.
I laughed and turned my head to the door.
"I need to be heading back now, I'll see you later" I smiled and hugged him timidly.
He pulled away and tilted my head up gently with his fingers. He gently brought his lips to mine and kissed me lightly. We pulled apart and I turned around.
"Bye" I smiled and walked out of the door and back to our table.
I tried to stop smiling but I couldn't help it. Damn it they were going to know something was up. I slid over Kyle again and plopped into the seat.
"Hey Lil" Dan said in a tone that told me he knew something.
"Hey Dan" I replied cautiously.
"What's got you smiling? Or should I say who?" He winked.
"W-What?" I stuttered. "Oh, nothing, just, uh, you guys, I love you guys" I smiled.
"Mmhmm, so it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that that boy has just followed you out of their, has it?" Dan winked.
"What boy? No?" I said looking down, hiding my bright red face.
"It does doesn't it? You spoke to that boy again, oohh, come on, tell us the details" Kyle smirked.
"No! Kyle!" I giggled.
"Come on Lily, what's his name?" Kyle asked prodding my arm.
"Who's name? Him, oh, nobody" I looked down.
"Come on Lilyyy tell usss" Kyle continued prodding my arm.
"Nooo" I moaned.
"Yeees" Dan prodded my other arm.
"Guys, stop" I said seriously.
All four if them laughed and turned towards Will and his friends. Will was staring at me and when the guys all turned he quickly looked away.
"Look, he was staring longingly at you" Will laughed.
"What, no he wasn't, shut up Lord Farquarson." I laughed.
Will opened his mouth to speak but the waitress returned with our order. Inside I was thanking her a million times for temporarily ending the conversation. I know it'll come up agin though. She handed out our food and drinks and trotted off with a smile.
I picked up my knife and fork and was about to tuck in when Dan slapped my hands away, causing me to drop my cutlery, which made a loud clattering noise.
"What was that for?!" I half yelled, slightly annoyed that he'd stopped me from eating.
"I want to take a picture" he laughed.
"Oh, so a simple, 'wait, I want to take a picture, don't eat yet' wasn't the right thing to say, rather than slapping my hands away?" I said seriously but then burst out laughing at Dan's shocked expression. "I'm kidding"
"Oh..." He trialled off. "Anyway" he pulled his phone out and took a picture of our food.
I leaned back so I wasn't in the photo. He slid his phone back into his pocket and my phone buzzed. I slowly pulled it out of my pocket and unlocked it. I had a notification from Instagram telling me that bastilledan had posted a photo. I quickly liked it and slipped my phone back into my pocket before anyone saw. It's kind of embarrassing that I set my phone to notify me when Dan posted a picture, when I saw sitting next to him.
"Did you're phone just notify you that I'd put a picture on Instagram?" Dan asked.
"What? No?" I stuttered.
"Yes it did" Dan's aid slightly amused.
"What no it didn't" I mumbled.
"And did you just like it?" Dan asked, even more amused.
"What? No" I protested.
"Yes you did" Dan laughed.
"No I didn't." I crossed my arms.
"Yes you did, I just got a notification saying that BASTILLElily liked my photo. That's you isn't it?" Dan laughed.
"What? No, that's a stupid name" I muttered.
"But it's your stupid name" Dan laughed.
"So? It's not weird if they like it, so why is it weird if I like it?" I said confidently.
"I never said it was weird" Dan chuckled.
"Shut up. I'm a stormer and proud." I said picking up my knife and fork.
"Well, you're one lucky stormer to be living with us" Dan winked.
"I'm the luckiest stormer in the world" I said genuinely.
"Yes you are" Dan smiled and kissed my head.
I smiled and my cheeks turned pink. I looked down and began cutting my food. My phone puzzled again and I quickly pulled it out. I had a twitter notification, saying that BASTILLEdan had tweeted.
"You've set your twitter to notify you haven't you?" Dan asked, the amusement back in his voice.
"No... Okay... Maybe... Yes" I looked down to hide my embarrassed face.
"What's your twitter name? I'll follow you" Dan winked.
"Oh, gee, thanks Dan" I said sarcastically.
"So you don't want me to follow you?" He asked.
"What? I never said that" I stated.
"Okay, so what is your name then?" Kyle asked.
"Lily, god Kyle, I thought you knew it by now" I sighed.
"Not you're real name, I know that, uh, loo, is it?" He paused and laughed.
"Kyle, my name is not loo, I'm not a toilet." I said crossing my arms.
"You smell like one though" Will murmured.
"What?" I said raising my eyebrows and turning to face Will.
"Nothing" he laughed.
"You just said I smelt like a loo didn't you? That's it I'm unfollowing you" I stated pulling my phone out of my pocket.
"Nooo" Will laughed.
"Okay, fine, cause I'm nice, I'll not unfollow you" I giggled.
"Okay, so come on, what's your twitter name?" Woody's asked.
"BASTILLElily" I murmured.
"What was that?" Woody asked.
"BASTILLElily" I said a bit louder.
"BASTILLElily?" Kyle laughed.
"Hey! When I made that name, a year ago, I was a huge stormer, so of course that would be my name" I laughed.
"Okay then" Kyle laughed.
They all pulled their phones out and went onto Twitter. I heard the clicks of their typing and continued to eat my food. My phone buzzed four times and I pulled it out of my pocket. I had four notifications from twitter. I clicked on the icon and went to my interactions. I had four new followers, BASTILLEdan, Woodythedrum, Kyle_JSimmons and willyfarquarson. A smile appeared on the outside, but on the inside I was squealing and fangirling. BASTILLE JUST FOLLOWED ME! I know I live with them and are practically family, but still, they followed me! Butterflies flew around my stomach and I blushed.
"Thanks guys" I laughed.
"You're welcome" they all said in unison.
I giggled and we all tucked into our food, finally. I put the first piece of waffle in my mouth at the same time as Kyle did. We both gasped and dropped our cutlery.
"What?" Dan asked worriedly.
"This is delicious" me and Kyle said at the same time.
I turned to him and he looked at me. We both looked so shocked but delighted. We burst out laughing and so did everyone else at the table. I picked up my knife and fork, still laughing, and continued to eat.
*********************************
We got up to leave the cafe and I glanced quickly over to the table where Will was sat. He was looking over at me and when our eyes met, he smiled. I blushed and smiled back. Someone nudged my side and whistled. I turned to see Dan winking at me.
"Stop" I glared at him.
"Sorry" he laughed.
He draped his arm around my shoulder as we walked out.
"And you wonder why people suspect I'm your girlfriend" I laughed gesturing to Dan's arm over my shoulder.
"What? Oh" he began to remove his arm but I caught his hand and stopped his arm from moving.
He raised his eyebrows, questioning why I stopped him and I smiled shyly.
"I like your arm around me, I feel safe." I said shyly.
"Aww I'm glad you feel that way" Dan said and tightened his grip on me, pulling me closer to him.
