The boys were going to be here any minute, Luke and I were frantically running around the house doing some last minute cleaning. With a heavy breath I looked at the clock and it read noon, any second now the biggest boy band in the world would be sitting in my living room. Luke and I nervously looked at each other, the clock and the front door.
*Zayn's POV*
I couldn't believe that Noel had allowed us to come over, we stood in the lobby of the apartment building she and her friend Luke lived in; as the attendant called up to her apartment. Seconds later she answered and allowed the attendant to let us up. The five of us stood in the elevator as it advanced each level.
"So, Zayn are you excited to see your bird?" Niall smirked, knowing that I liked her.
"She's not my girlfriend Niall,"
"Not yet she isn't," Louis winked towards Niall and I, Liam elbowed him in the chest.
"C'mon Zayn, we all know you like her just admit it." Harry nudged me.
"Fine, I do like her but so does Niall. Also, it's blatantly obvious that Liam and Louis both have a thing for Lacey." I smirked at the both of them, making them shut up and leave me alone.
"I have dibs on Lacey..." Liam said after a long pause.
"Oh fuck you Liam!" Liam raised his voice and punched him in his arm.
"Dibs is dibs Tommo, there's no changing them once they are called."
"Alright drop it guys, let's not argue in front of Noel please? We're here to hang out and make her feel better not make her feel uncomfortable while we argue about girls." I sighed, getting annoyed with all of the bickering.
We finally reached the floor that Noel's apartment, my heart was literally pounding out of my chest. Niall kept giving me looks as if he wanted to race to the door, when I wasn't really paying attention he made a break for it and sprinted down the hall towards Noel's apartment. Not on my watch Horan... I sternly said in my mind. Within seconds I was sprinting down the hall after him, I wanted Noel to see me first out of any of us. She had wanted me to come over, I wanted her main interest on me not to be on him or any of the others.
*Noel's POV*
I could hear many footsteps down the hall from Luke and I's apartment, my heart rate increased more and more with each passing second. Finally there was a knock on the door, I got up from the couch and ran towards the door before Luke could answer it. He put his hands up in defense and muttered something about me calming down, I didn't care, One Direction was literally right outside my front door and I got to personally hang out with them. With a deep breath and swift movement, I opened the door and put on my best smile.
"Hey guys c'mon in!" I tried my best to sound enthusiastic.
"Thank you very much for allowing us into your home Noel," Zayn kindly said and shook my hand.
"It's no problem really, Luke and I should be the ones thanking you guys; taking time out of your busy schedule just to hang out with us." I paused,
"Oh hey guys. Please come on in, feel free to leave your shoes on if you'd like." Luke calmly and causally greeted them, I had no idea how he was keeping himself together.
The seven of us all huddled in our medium sized living room; thankfully that massive sofa that Luke insisted that we buy finally came in handy. Within minutes the air became thick, I nervously got up and dashed into the kitchen; someone must have wanted a drink or something to eat. I stood in the kitchen and prepared glasses of steeped matcha tea and some diced fruit for all of us.
