Chapter Three: I’m not a Baby!
I then see a grinning Harry and my insides are filled with so much happiness I could probably burst. “Harry!” “Dee!” we shout at the same time. We open our arms and throw them around each other. “Guys! Dee’s here!” Louis shouts, coming over to hug you as well. “Dee!” Niall, Liam and Zayn shout too. “Oh my gosh, you guys!” I exclaim hugging them all. My lungs were basically being crushed as they hugged back. “Guys, I…need…to…breathe.” I choked out. “Oh, our bad.” They say letting you go. We exchange mischievous smiles.
“So how’ve you guys been?” I ask as they lead me into the lounge. “Great.” They reply. “What about you Dee?” Liam asks. “I guess I’ve been great too, but uh you know, life gets a bit boring around here.” I say, sitting down on the couch. “That’s why you have us Dee!” Laughs Zayn. “Yeah. I’m so grateful.” I laugh, sarcastically. “So how was the tour?” I ask curiously. “It went really well. It was so amazing to go out there and perform again!” Niall grins. “Yeah but I think we also missed home a lot too.” Louis adds. Their hums of agreement fill the air. “And I missed you guys!” I pout. “Awh! We missed you too, love.” Liam laughs.
“Well Dee, I think it’s about time we come out and say it.” Harry says mysteriously. I thought that was Zayn’s job. “Say what…??” I ask cautiously. “We’re taking you on a Holiday!” Harry shouts, raising his arms in the air. “What? Where? When?” I ask in shock. “Hawaii in the next few hours.” Liam shrugs like it’s nothing.
Hawaii, next few hours?
Hawaii, next few hours. Are they out of their minds? I can’t go out of the country in the next few hours! What about my parents, would they even agree? “Guys, you must be mad?!” I pose this more of a question rather than a statement. “Well we know that. But it’s not mad to go on holiday.” Louis laughs. “Yea it is. Will my parents even agree?” I ask.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about the whole idea but if I know my mom and dad I’m sure to get a no from them about this. “Of course they will! Just put us on the phone and they’ll be stuttering yes’s before ya know it.” Niall laughs in his gorgeous Irish accent. “Alright, then” I laugh. “I’m trusting you guys.” As soon as I say this I see each of them grinning ear to ear and getting up, shouting triumphantly.
I shake my head disapprovingly at them while still holding a smile. I reach into my pocket to pull out my phone and dial my mom’s number. Three rings and she picks up. “Diana? What’s wrong? Is everything okay?” - Talk about an over protective mother. “Chill mom, everything’s fine. I’m just calling to tell you that I’m going to Hawaii in a couple of hours.” I knew exactly how she’d react to this so I pulled my phone away from my ears so she could have her rant session.
She was screaming so loudly that the boys could hear her too. We simply looked at each other and laughed. “Give me the phone.” Liam giggles. I don’t argue and simply hand it over. “Hello” he says. “Hi, Mrs. Livingston.” He says in the most charming way possible.
Ha. I can just imagine her facial expression.
She must be in shock and now smiling in embarrassment. My mom just has to talk to one of these lads and she’ll be the most placid mother on this Earth. “So you wouldn’t mind Dee coming to Hawaii with us, would you?” he says putting my oh so lovable mother on speaker phone. “Of course I wouldn’t mind, Liam. It’s just how safe is she going to be?” I roll my eyes at her over protectiveness.
“She’ll be perfectly fine. I promise, and you know I’m nothing if I’m not a man of my word Mrs. Livingston.” Liam says maturely and winks at me, signaling he’s got it all under control. “Ah, I know that, Liam and I trust you boys. How long are you going to be there?” She sighs. “Just a couple of weeks, is all.” He says. “Okay, fine then Liam but only because I know she’s going to be with you fellows. Look after my baby okay?”
My smile immediately fades.
Really mom? Really? I’m nineteen not a one year old! They laugh uncontrollably. “Oh we will, don’t worry.” Liam smirks. I find myself yet again rolling my eyes at my mom’s ridiculous antics. “Alright goodbye, Liam. Tell the rest of the lot I said hello.” “I will Mrs. Livingston, Goodbye.” He smiles, tossing my phone back to me.
“You guys are lucky I brought my passport.” I smirk; finding the need to change the topic to anything else besides my mother’s supposed love for me and Liam being the manipulator of the room, just by using his voice.
“Dee’s mom is awesome though!” Niall says as they continue to laugh despite my efforts to stop them. “Whatever guys” I wave a hand as I laugh too. “What time are we leaving?” I ask on a more serious note. “2am.” Louis replies. “What time is it now?” asks Zayn. “It’s only like 8.” Says Harry. “How about a movie?” suggests Niall. “Sounds great!” I say as they all agree.
We decide to watch Twilight even though I know they don’t want to watch it. They still suggest it since they knew that it was my favorite movie, again making them all the more lovable. “I dibs sitting with Dee!” Niall shouts. “Niall you can’t do that.” Says Liam. For a second the atmosphere in the room changed it was intense and silent. Everyone except Niall and I seemed genuinely unhappy about the fact that Niall was sitting next to me. But those few seconds ended and they shrugged it off.
Perhaps I was just imagining things. Yea, that must be it; I’m sleepy so I’m seeing things.
So Harry and Lou shared a couch so did Zayn and Liam as well as Niall and I. We got comfy with blankets as Niall lay his head down on my lap. He smiled up at me and I giggled at him. I felt it again; burning stares, I turned to check if it was true but they turned away. Boy, I need to sleep. The movie started and we shared our big bowls of popcorn.
Although this was my favorite movie I couldn’t concentrate on it because my mind kept drifting elsewhere.
Like on the fact that in a couple of hours I am going to be on a plane to Hawaii with my best friends. Could life really get any better? A couple of days ago I wouldn’t even consider the question. There’s an adventure up ahead and I just cannot wait. As all these thoughts fill my head, I feel my eyes become heavy as I slowly drift off to sleep.
