Those Five Boys {EDITING ATM}

Chapter 27

Louis' POV

We finally make it to the place, seeing a bold cursive sign that reads Splendid.

Fancy place.

Liam parks in front of the place as we head inside. The place is dim and tables covered in cherry red table cloth. Liam whispers to the front waitress as she nods, grabbing four menus and heads to a booth. Me and Niall sit on one side while Claire and Liam sit on the other.

"Any drinks to start off your evening?" She asks us.

"Water." We all say in unison as we laugh. Reading the name tag, it says Sarah. Sarah writes something down before leaving the booth.

Claire is tapping her fingers on the table nervously as Liam puts his hand on hers, slightly jumping from the contact but smiles right after. We all look at our menus while we wait for our drinks.

A new waitress comes to our booth with our drinks and sets them down.

"Hi, my name is Rein and I'll be your server for tonight." She takes out a notepad and a pen, "So, what would you guys like to order." She looks up from her notepad and at me, her blue eyes glaring at me, she gives me a small smile and I smile back. She tucks a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear and waits for anyone to respond.

"I'll have the chef salad." Claire speaks up. Rein gives her a dirty look as she scribbles on her notepad.

"The creamy chicken pasta for me." Liam puts his menu down.

"Your finest steak, well done." Niall practically drools when he speaks, Claire slightly giggles at him as she puts her menu down also.

"I'll have the chef salad also." I tell her, she finishes writing and takes the menus with her, walking away. "So, does anyone have plans for tomorrow?" I start a conversation.

"I'll be at his house the whole break." Claire mentions.

"Yeah, I have nothing to do this whole break so I'll probably crash at your place Liam." I tell him.

The waiter comes back with our food and sets them down. As she puts Claire's food down, she knocks over her water, spilling all over her dress. Claire grabs napkins and starts dabbing her dress, not looking at us.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." Rein says, not trying to hide the smirk on her face. Well she's rude.

"I-It's fine. Where's your restroom?" Claire scoots her way out on the booth as Rein points to the hallway.

Claire's POV

I push through the women's bathroom and look under the stalls to make sure that no ones in here. The water is starting to dry as I shiver, taking some paper towels as dab my dress; but it doesn't work. There is a dark blotch on the mid section of my body.

How am I supposed to get out of here?

I look at myself in the mirror, how my hair kind of frizzed up, luckily, I always have a hair tie with me. Running my fingers through my hair, I put it to one side of my head and start to fishtail braid my hair carefully crossing one piece to the other.

When I'm finished, I secure the end of my hair and look at my reflection, it looks pretty good to me. The blotch on my dress has dried a bit, leaving only a dark, but yet light, water mark.

Heading out of the restroom and back to the booth, I see the boys with food containers as I scoot in.

"Did I take that long?" I ask, Looking down in disappointment.

"No it's not you, it was the waitress, she was rude." Niall speaks up, his facial expression sour. We all scoot out of the booth and I'm guessing Liam already paid.

We pile in the car and head back to Liam's place. I check my phone and it's 9pm, feeling my eyes droop as I look out the window.

Niall's POV

Liam parks in his driveway as I look back, seeing Claire fast asleep as Liam and Louis get out of the car. Getting out, I open her door and make sure she doesn't fall.

"Claire? You asleep?" I lightly shake her shoulder.

She mumbles back at me as I lift her from the seat and close the car door with my arse. As I walk to the door, cradling her in my arms, I push the slightly opened door wider with my feet and walk inside.

Claire is still asleep in my arms when I gently lay her on the couch and head into the kitchen. Looking through the containers of food for my steak--grabbing a fork also--I head back into the living room and sit on the small couch, digging into my meal.

Louis and Liam walk into the room with different clothes on and sit beside me.

"You're still hungry?" Louis looks down at my food then at me. I nod before taking another bite of my food, with them continuing to stare at me as I finish my food. Throwing the container away in the trash can, I heading back into the room. Liam and Louis have fallen asleep on the floor while I'm still up.

I text Zayn to see if he's still up just because I'm bored.

Zayn:

'Yeah I am. Why?'

Me:

'I'm just bored, there all asleep right now. Why don't you come over?'

Zayn:

'Sure, I'll come tomorrow. I have nothing to do this week anyway'

Me:

'Okay, see you tomorrow.'

Zayn:

'Bye'

Me:

'Bye'

I sigh and put my phone away. Resting my head on the pillow, I try to get some sleep.
