We arrived at my house and got out of the cars.

“Never put Michael and Jesy with me again,” Strike said, getting out of his car.

“Why?” I said laughing.

He gave me a look. “Because of that,” he said, pointing to them.

“You’re too cute,” Jesy told Michael.

“Well you’re cuter,” Michael replied walking over to her.

“No, you’re the cutest.” They rubbed noses together before making out.

Strike turned back to me. “Now imagine being stuck in a car with that.” We all laughed.

I walked up to the door and pulled out my key. I unlocked the door and walked in. On the table was a note from my mom.

We will be back tomorrow night. Behave yourself. Jesy is allowed to come over. I left some money in the drawer so you guys can order a pizza or something. Have fun and stay out of trouble!

-Love, Mom

“That’s probably what they were talking about this morning,” Luke said, reading over my shoulder.

“Yea,” I said.

“Sweet house," Michael said as he walked in.

"Thanks," I replied.

"Do you have any food?" Ashton asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Really? You just got here and you want food already?" I asked.

"Well, yeah."

"Alright, I'll order a pizza." I picked up the phone and dialed the number. Then I ordered two large cheese pizzas and hung up. "It should be here in about 30 minutes." I grabbed the money out of the drawer and put it in my pocket so I wouldn't forget. Then I joined everybody else in the living room. I turned on the TV and changed it to the sports channel. Biggest mistake ever. Next thing I know, all six boys are yelling at the TV and screaming at each other. I quickly changed the channel to something else and the yelling stopped. I don't even know what we are watching.

Ding, Dong

I got up and answered the door. It was the pizza guy. I gave him the money and took the pizzas to the living room. I opened the first one and it was gone in about thirty seconds. Jesy and I only got one piece, while the boys got multiple.

"Why don't you save some for the rest of us," I said to them.

"But we're hungry," Brent said, his mouth full of pizza.

I opened the second pizza and quickly grabbed a piece. Jesy did the same. That one took a little bit longer to be gone. I brought the empty pizza boxes out to the trash can outside and brought it to the curb because it's garbage night. I walked back inside and took my seat next to Luke. He put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. We watched TV in silence for a while. Then Calum and Brent decided to leave, followed by Strike (who brought Michael and Jesy back to Michael's house), and Ashton was the last to leave.

"I get to go home and get yelled at, again," Ashton said, walking to the door. "Yay." I watched him walk out to his car and drive away.

"I guess it's just me and you, now," Luke said, kissing the top of my head. I rested my head on his shoulder. I looked over at the clock. 10:30 p.m. I turned back to Luke and looked up at him.

"I love you," I said, kissing his soft lips.

"I love you too," he mumbled into my lips. We broke away and I rested my head on his shoulder. Eventually, I fell asleep.
