t w o - shes a keeper

Having a 6th beer was probably not the brightest idea i'd ever had. Especially when I was drinking with 4 people I just met today, who also had at least 6 beers. Living the party life? I don't know I don't think I've ever been this cool. This reminded me of the highschool parties i'd been to. I stood in the corner for the first half of them, but the rest turned out pretty great! I think! I can't really remember to be honest.

Michael, Luke, Calum, Ashton, and I all sat in a circle, with music playing on the background. Luke and Ashton had seemed to sober up a bit. Michael, Calum, and I were pretty delusional and laughing historically.

Luke sat across from me, and I tried to avoid his penetrating blue-eyed gaze. I'm not going to lie, he's pretty hot.

I don't know what i'm thinking,

I'm drunk as my aunt on Christmas. He probably wasn't even looking at me.

My thoughts were interrupted by Michael "Vanessa truth or dare?" He slurred. "Are we 7th graders? We're playing truth or dare" I snorted.

"We are now, and yeah i'd say i'm mentally a 7th grader." Michael said. "Now pick"

"Um dare?" I said unsure.

-- Lukes POV --

This was going to go south fast. "I dare you to strip dance on the coffee table" Michael said.

Drunk Michael had officially arrived.

"Michael that's a bit much don't you think?" Ashton said.

"Fine I'll do it" Michael said getting up.

"NO!!" We all shouted in unison.

"In that case I'll do it" Vanessa said getting up, and stumbling. She stood up on the coffee table. She didn't get too far. She pointed at Michael and said some thing along the lines of "Turn up the music DJ" And then fell. She was just about as clumsy as me. I liked that. I'm sick of being the one who always falls. I had been like that for a while, my legs are just awkwardly long.

She hit her head coming down. I was worried for a minute, before she sat up. "Ow" She said. She rubbed her head and held her ankle.

"Okay that's enough" I said. I walked over to her, and helped her up. I took her hand and tried to lead her to the room she was staying in, but she didn't want to go. I scooped her up and brought her to the room.

"Thankyou" She said eyes already closed as I tucked a blanket over her. "No worries, you won't remember it in the morning." I chuckled, and turned out the lights, and left.

-- Vanessa's POV --

Fuck. I don't think i've ever had a worse head ache. I slumped out of bed to get water. No one was awake yet.

I felt like the least I could do, for the boys letting me stay in their house, was make breakfast. I made them each three pancakes, and set up a buffet of toppings.

The first up was Ashton. "Pancakes?" He smiled. "Yeah, it's the least I could do" I replied.

Not long after him were Calum and Luke. The boys ate the pancakes and I joined them. "I'm gonna get ready" I said getting up and walking away.

-- Lukes POV --

"Before Michael gets up, I have a proposal." Ashton said. "Why don't we just see if Vanessa wants to stay here? Until she finds a roommate?" Ashton said.

"She's really fun. I want to keep hanging out with her.I think it's a good idea. Plus, i'm sure she has a lot of friends, or will. And I mean girl friends." Calum smirked, putting emphasis on girl, and raising his eyebrows.

"Wow Calum. Asshole much?" I wouldn't mind having Vanessa live here. I wouldn't mind at all. I'd like it. "I think it's a really good idea." I said. "Maybe she'll cook like this all the time." I smiled.

"Now we just have to ask Michael." Ashton sighed.

Right on cue, Michael entered the room. "Ah. Pancakes." he said. He sat down with the four of us, and ruffled my hair. I shot him a glare, and then smiled.

We all stared at Michael.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT" He said finally.

"What do you think about letting Vanessa stay here?" Ashton said, with his world famous smile.

"What?" Michael said.

"Well she needs a place to stay. We have an extra room. She's really fun too. Michael think about it. Maybe she'll cook like this all the time, think about all the girl friends." Calum said again.

"Can we keep her Michael?" I said hugging him from the side. "Please" Ashton said. "She's funnnnn"

Michael sat for moment. "Fine. I can't really say no can I?" He smiled.

This was the best thing that had happened in a while.

Vanessa entered the room again, a bright smile on her face, and beautiful eyes.

--Vanessa's POV--

"Hey guys. I guess I should find a hotel..." I said. I could always go stay with Georgia, but she already had like, 3 model roommates.

"Vanessa? Why don't you just stay here? We have extra room." Ashton said.

"And we need someone to make sure we don't hurt ourselves" Michael said.

"Plus we like you." Calum said.

"Your loads of fun" Luke said smiling.

I thought about it, I was suddenly relieved. I had figured this out on my own, I found some roommates, of course I was going to say yes,

"Sounds good" I smiled.

"Feels good" The boys said in unison

"What?"
