"HELLLOOOOOOO!" I screamed as soon as I stepped into the house. Harry had called Zayn up and asked him where everyone was and to our luck, they were all gathered at Zayn's place. I remember Harry mentioning that they hung out at Zayn's place a lot, mostly because his house was 'clean'. Pffttttt. Messy boys. They were quite a sight actually, Louis was sprawled all over the couch in the living room, half-asleep. Niall was roaming around the place shirtless, wailing about how hungry he was and that there was nothing to eat. Isn't he just the most adorable thing ever? Liam sat in a corner, reading a book and I'm guessing Zayn was in the shower. Aaaahhhh...long showers. They're love.
"KHADIJA!" Louis jumped up, adjusting his skinnies over his bum as he embraced me in a bone-crushing hug. making me laugh.
"LOUIS!" I hugged him back and we jumped around like two hysterical teenage girls who had just found out that there crush likes them back.
"KHADIJA!"
"LOUIS!"
"KHADIJA!"
"LOUIS!"
"LIAM!" Liam called out as he walked towards us, spreading his arms wide. I gave him a big smile as he stopped next to Louis. "What a lovely surprise" Liam continued "Come on in" he gestured with his hand but I just shook my head, making a wave of confusion wash over his face.
"Nope!" I began, popping the 'p', "we're all going to Mcdonald's" My eyes landed on Niall ,whose face lit up. He pulled on his t-shirt and ran towards where we all stood, beaming at all of us.
"Nice to see you too Niall" I rolled my eyes at him and he suddenly looked ashamed, blushing a little.
"Eh umm, I'm sorry Khadijay, it's jus dat m hungry and..." he trailed off, scratching the back of his head as he looked down at his feet, rubbing his shoes against the marble floor carelessly.
"And....?" I raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to continue.
"And ehh...Ayesha din't come?" he looked up, deep blue eyes a bit sad. I couldn't help but give him a sad smile.
"Actually she's not in London these days, but I'll let her know that you miss her when I talk to her, okay?" I winked at the Irish boy who looked down again, blushing, making us all 'awwww' in unison.
"TELL HER I MISS HER TOO! IT'S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HER!" Louis screamed and I had to cover up my ears to stop them from bleeding. I nodded at the loud boy as his eyes sparkled with excitement. This is the first time I noticed how beautiful Louis' eyes were. I realized I was staring at him a little longer than intended, earning a wink from him. Saying that I was embarrassed would be the under-statement of the century.
"What's taking Zayn so longggg?" Harry spoke up, startling me a bit as I hadn't realized how close we were standing together.
"I want Mcnuggets!" I stomped my feet on the ground like a two-year old, making every laugh, and Niall went a bit over-board.
"My girlfriend here has been craving Mcnuggets for the past hour or so" Harry chuckled, pulling me closer to him as his hand rested on the side of my waist. I gave Harry a smile, it was the first time he'd called me his 'girlfriend' out in the open and I can't really find the words to describe how I felt at that moment. I guess it was official then...we were together, and I couldn't have been happier. Harry smiled back at me, planting an affectionate kiss on my forehead before entwining our fingers together. This felt so right, holding hands with him, being here with him, US. It felt so right.
"So you guys are together now?" Liam smiled at us and I found myself nodding, unaware of the fact that I was smiling that broadly.
"I love you Khadija" Harry whispered in my ear.
"I love you too"
"Let's go guys!" Zayn walked towards us dressed up in a white t-shirt with a maroon unbuttoned shirt on top, dark blue skinnies and black sneakers, looking as dashing as ever. "I heard the entire conversation in my room while I was getting dressed, GOD YOU GUYS ARE LOUD" He gave Harry a brotherly hug before passing me a generous smile "Now let's go shall we? I'm starving"
So basically, we had Louis' car ONLY which wasn't that big...and it was 6 of us....the car ride my friends, was pretty interesting. Louis obviously, was driving. Then we made Harry take the passenger seat because his bruising hadn't completely healed yet and we didn't want to take any chances by squashing him in the back seat. Liam, Niall and Zayn sat in the backseats making me standing there awkwadly, deciding whose lap to sit in. Hunh...yes, it was pretty awkward, I would have flopped down on Harry's legs in a heart-beat but given his condition, that wasn't the best of ideas.
"ALL SET?" Louis called out, making sure we were all seated.
"Uhh actually I-"
"Oh for heaven's sake! Just come here already" Zayn grabbed me by the waist, pulling me down on his lap even before I could register what had happened. "All set!" he called out and we drove off. I was sitting in Zayn's lap. I was sitting in Zayn's lap. I was sitting in Zayn's lap. Oh God, this is so awkward. I carefully shifted, trying to make myself more comfortable, causing a low chuckle to escape his lips as he shook his head.
"You know I'm not going to eat you Khadija, so just relax" I felt my cheeks heat up so I kept my gaze down on my lap as I awkwardly played with my hands. Nodding, I shifted again a little. There! that's better.
"M bord, let's do sumthin" Niall spoke up, turning everyone's attention towards him.
"Oh ya? Like what?" Zayn asked him, pulling his cheek. He tried biting Zayn's finger, making us all laugh.
"Like this" Niall rolled down the window, bending over Liam who sat near the door.
"POTATO!" Niall screamed at a random person walking by, making the man jump in fright as we burst out laughing.
"OH MY GOD IT'S JUSTIN BIEBER!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, pointing at a boy who turned and winked at me, making us flip over in laughter.
"POOP!" Niall and I screamed in unison, earning an angry look from an elderly woman as we bent over, hiding our faces, trying to high-five each over but missing every time, my hand eventually landing on Niall's cheek as he let out a melo-dramatic, girly scream. Niall and I pretty much laughed our asses of the entire ride to the restaurant, earning eye rolls from Zayn and Liam as Harry just laughed along and Louis chimed in, screaming things randomly.
"OH LOOK!" Louis called out, making our heads dart towards the windscreen "IT'S MCDONALDS!"
