Stay With Me

Chapter 3

Ok so, so far the chapters have been pretty short, I promise it'll get better. And the story may be boring now but I promise once I get past all the introduction stuff and actually get into the interesting stuff that it should be good. Hopefully xx

*The First Day Together*

I only just pull up into the driveway of my apartment when Jake bursts through the front door and runs down the pathway.

"Lou!" he screams.

"Honey, I'm home!!" Louis dramatically opens my car door and awkwardly runs to Jake. They engulf each other in a massive hug and jump around in circles.

Zayn opens the door and steps out of my car before grabbing his bags. "Are they always like this?"

"Unfortunately, yes." I say to Zayn and open the boot of the small beetle. "Louis Tomlinson, I am not taking your bags for you! Come get them yourself".

Louis trots back down the pathway, "Awww! Why not!?"

"I'm not your maid".

"Respect your elders, young one". Louis grabs his bags and smirks.

I roll my eyes, grab Niall's bag and hand it to him. His hand touches mine as he reaches for the handle and it startles me. Our eyes meet and he looks away, blushing. "Sorry for startling you" he mumbles.

"That's ok. Anyone can scare me easily. I'm a bit jumpy".

I hear Harry whisper a quiet "Yes!" from the doorway of my apartment as he clenches his fist.

Jake giggled and whispered to Harry, "Scare her a bit extra for me".

"No, no... Umm. I didn't say that. Ugh.. This is going to be a long week..." I bury my face in my hands.

Louis runs inside screaming "I get Ally Poo's bed!"

I roll my eyes. "Come on in guys. I have to sort out sleeping arrangements. Otherwise, if Lou gets his way, I'll be bedless".

Jake followed Louis into the house and they climbed up the stairs and the boys follow me inside and take a seat on the sofa in the lounge. "Lou! Get your bum down here".

"'No!' Jimmy protested!" he yells back childishly.

"If you don't come and sit on this couch, you are not getting any carrots!"

I hear Louis and Jake stumbling down the stairs and they appear and sit on the couch, smiling as me innocently. "I want my carrots," Louis persists.

"I lied. I don't have any carrots".

Louis glares at me. "You. What?".

"No fighting today guys!" Liam steps in.

"So what happens now?" Harry smiles at me.

"Ok who is going to share a bed? I have 2 spare bedrooms and a sofa bed."

"I'll sleep with Louis. Someone has to try and keep him under control". Thank God for Harry.

"Thank you, Harry," I turned and looked at Liam, "Liam?"

"I don't really care. I'm not fussy," He replied.

"I want my own bed!" Niall piped in, "If i can have my own bed, I'll take it". He smiled and fiddled with a small leather hole in the arm of the couch.

"Sure that's fine. So Liam and Zayn are in a room together, Louis and Harry are sharing a room and Niall has the sofa bed. Sound good?"

The boys nodded in response. "Awesome! Feel free to go and choose your rooms. I'll be in my room. Help yourself to food and make yourself at home. What's mine is yours and all that jazz".
