Misadventure (One Direction)

10 - Confusion

Niall's point of view...

Thursday, January 9, 9:23 PM

Lesley was about to pull out of the street when our black Mercedes pulled by her. "Beep... Beep... Beep..."

Lesley rolled down her windows and I rolled down the passenger's seat windows.

Then I asked her, "Hey, can I come over?"

"Agh... I don't know..." she responded.

"C'mon... I just need to talk to you," I begged.

"Well, we do need to talk..." Lesley added.

"Great!" I got off the Mercedes and walked around Lesley's car and entered through the passenger's seat.

Lesley proceeded driving without looking back at Louis and Zayn.

"So what do you want to talk 'bout," she asked me.

"Oh, just a little 'bout your life and your cousins... how did you guys decided to become musicians?" I tried to act perfectly normal.

"Back when we were in tenth grade, Stephanie and I started to play the guitar, and Stephanie mastered the piano just this year. Our first year at uni. Vanessa has been a DJ since high school."

"Oh, that's cool!" I couldn't stop grinning at her.

"So, you guys also write and compose your music?" I asked.

"Well, the three of us compose the rhythm, beat and melody, but my sister writes our songs. Some though; we all take part of it. She wants to become a writer."

The car ride was not as long. Lesley parked in front of their house. It was two stories, thin and compressed by the neighboring houses.

"So this is where we live, really cozy, eh?" said Lesley, while she unlocked the front black door of the white house. The house was pressed by the two houses beside it. Two two houses seemed to hugged their house well, since they were hallway filled with brown bricks. We stepped in carefully.

Light bloomed once she turned on the light switch. We were standing in a long, white hallway that had little lights hanging on the walls. Lesley glanced back at me and I smiled back at her. I still had on my tuxedo. Luckily, I also brought in extra clothes for the night.

Lesley and I proceeded down the hallway until we turned to the right and met the living room.

"You can take a shower and change in the bathroom right across from the kitchen," suggested Lesley, while she paced towards her room.

"Okay," I responded.

Lesley remained in her room for awhile. Apparently she was also showering in her bedroom's bathroom. After my shower, I changed into a white t-shirt and gray sweat pants, then I went back to the living room.

Moments later Lesley came out and went towards me. She also had sweatpants but there were black, along with matching long-sleeve shirt. Her thick, long brown hair dripped tears as she asked me,"Coffee or tea?"

"Tea will be excellent! What kind do you have?" I asked.

"Mint tea, earl grey tea, chai tea, green tea, jasmine tea... We used to have more but Alexia finished all of those."

"Wow you have everything! I will take green tea, please," I responded.

"Okay, I will be right back." Lesley paced back to the kitchen.

I hope everything goes well tonight, I thought as I glanced at the music set by the stereo. Underneath the CDs there was another shelve where a couple of binders sat. Each binder was labeled with Alexia's whole name. I grabbed a blue binder titled Short Stories and flipped it open. The first page had a table of contents. I mumbled each titled under my breath as I read.
