The Corner Cafe [Connor Ball]

Chapter Twenty-Nine

-Nicole's POV-

Everyone was starting to pack their things and go home, it's almost midnight and we all have work or other stuff we need to do tomorrow.

We walked out of the club, James, Tristan and Jacob are slightly tipsy and laughing at nothing at particular. Connor had his arms wrapped around Kylie's waist protectively, they look so freaking adorable!

"They look cute, huh?" a sudden voice behind me made me jump. I turned around and James smirked at me, his eyes look droopy.

"Yeah, I'm happy Kylie's finally found someone who loves her." I smiled and James smirk disappeared, frowning a bit.

"Hey mate, you guys ready to go?" Brad asked, waving at a cab that was slowing down. Victoria has her arms on Tristan's shoulders, trying to help him stand while Jacob was leaning against Ella, both of them looking tired.

"That's my cue, bye Nicole!" James laughed and kissed my cheek, his sudden flirty move making me blush.

"Bye." I whispered, watching his figure enter the taxi. Connor kissed the tip of Kylie's nose and walked in the taxi too. The other boys were already in there, laughing.

"Jacob, Ella and I will be heading home this way. I'll see you tomorrow!" Victoria said, waving at us.

"Do you guys mind if I crashed at your place tonight? Normally I would go home or stay at Brad's place but the boys are going to sleep at his place and I don't want to be there." Ingrid asked, shyly. "My place is kind of far away and I don't wanna take a taxi alone at this time of the night."

"Of course it's fine! I'm sure Brad would kill us if we said no." Kylie joked and the three of us linked hands and started walking back to Kylie's flat.

Ingrid, Kylie and I were sitting on the sofa with hot chocolate in our hands. We decided to chat for awhile before we went to bed.

"So, what do you think about the boys?" Kylie asked me.

"They're very nice and good looking too."

"You and James seem to get along well, I see." Ingrid smirked, wiggling her eyebrows at me. Even though Ingrid is the shy girl amongst the group, I got along well with her the moment we started talking earlier at dinner.

"He's cool."

"That's all?" Ingrid was obviously not happy with my answer.

"Mhmm." I nodded, smirking at her disappointed face.

Suddenly, Kylie's MacBook started ringing. "What the hell?" I laughed.

It was a Skype call request from Victoria. Kylie pressed accept, a few seconds later, Victoria and Ella's face appeared on the screen.

"What's up ladies!" Ella greeted in her 'manly' voice, making the four of us burst into laughing fits.

After we stopped laughing, Ella told us she was crashing at Victoria's place tonight since she was too lazy to walk back home (which was only a few blocks away from Victoria's house).

"So, what you girls doing?" Victoria asked.

"Nothing much, just talking about James and Nicole here." Ingrid smirked again as I blushed, glaring at her.

"Oh by the way, what happened between you and James just now, Kylie? Connor and the boys didn't seem happy when he asked to talk to you privately but they were okay again afterwards." the four of us looked at Kylie as she gulped nervously.

"It was nothing, I promise." she faked a laugh, but me knowing her for so long, knew that she was lying.

"Tell us, Ky. We're here for you." I said, patting her shoulder.

"Argh, it's just... James told me he likes me, but he knew I love Connor." all of us gasped as she frowned, "he started sobbing and it was heartbreaking, but then he just suddenly said he had to tell someone about his feelings. I guess it's a good thing though, if he keeps everything to himself, he's gonna explode one day."

"So, what happened next?" Ingrid asked.

A smile slowly creeping back on her face, "we were too focused in our chat, we didn't realise that the other boys were standing there, listening to our conversation. Afterwards, they comforted James and went back into the club and I told Connor I love him." She started blushing, "the best part was, he said it back."

We looked at her in awe, you can see how much they love each other just by the look in their eyes.

"We told you you should've gave him a chance!" Victoria and Ella cheered, high fiving each other.

"You. Guys. Are. So. Adorable. Can. You. Not." I said every word slowly before laughing again. They all joined in as Kylie's face reddened by seconds.

"Now that I think about it, you and James are the only single ones left. Girls, I think it's time we do something about it." Kylie recovered quickly and all of them smirked at me.

"What have I gotten myself into?" I sighed and covered my face, also covering my blushing cheeks.

We ended up staying up all night, the four of them teasing each other about their lovers, and making plans for James and I.
