When Past Becomes Present (an Alex Turner fan fic)

Chapter 31

AN: Hey guys, so I'm at camp right now, but as promised, here is the update! It's fairly short because I'm pretty busy, but I also needed a bit of a filler chapter as well to get to the juicy stuff. I love you all, and please keep commenting and rating! I love to hear from you. x Laurel

*Lillia's POV* 

I heard the doorbell ring and ran to answer it. Alex stood outside with a flat of beers in one hand and his phone in the other.

"Hey, you're here! Vi is ordering pizza right now and then we'll choose a movie." 

He smiled and walked in to sit on the couch when Vi walked into the room. 

"Okay, I got 2 cheese and 2 pepperoni. Is that good?" 

Alex turned around obviously shocked, and I laughed. 

"Vi, why did you get 4 pizzas? There's only 3 of us, you know." Vi looked at Alex alone on the couch before turning to me. 

"Oh, well, I anticipated that Alex would be bringing the entire band, and I wanted to make sure there was enough for all of them." 

I could tell she was really excited for this night; after all, she had only just met Alex, let alone the rest of the guys, and she was still a huge fan. 

"Don't worry, Vi." Alex stated. "If the rest of the guys had been here that wouldn't have been near enough. Total pigs, they are; but not me. I only eat around 10 slices." 

He laughed and so did she, but I knew he wasn't kidding. Despite the fact that he was average sized, Alex ate like an overweight person, and no one was sure how he was keeping from going on The UK's Most Obese. 

"So, what do you guys want to see tonight?" Vi, who was usually the opinionated one of the too of us, looked directly at Alex, waiting to see what our "guest of honor" wanted to watch. 

"Uh, anything is fine with me." Alex said nervously with Vi's eyes glued to him. "Whatever you want, girls." I sat down on the couch beside him, and he put his arm around me while I turned on the T.V. 

"Vi, what do you want to see?" Vi snapped back from Alex to reality and looked at me blankly. 

"Vi, what do you want to see?" I repeated. 

"Oh, well, uh… Let's watch Scott Pilgrim V.S. The World!" 

Alex looked up from his spot on the couch, "I'm good with that! That movie is amazing!" 

I just knew that Vi had looked that up on a fan website because the twinkle in her eyes followed by the smile of excitement and pride she always had when she had given the correct answer flashed on to her face the moment Alex agreed, but I wasn't just about to spoil the fun. 

"Okay, sounds good. I'll queue it up." 

The doorbell rang again, and Vi walked to the door to answer it. "That must be the pizza, hold on a second guys." She shouted as she opened the door to reveal 3 more boys carrying taco bell bags and more beers. I looked into the hallway to see them, and I could almost hear Vi's breath she was hyperventilating so much. I walked to the door. 

"Hi, boys. Sorry about Vi, y'all are her favourite band, and I don't think she was quite expecting all of you to be here." I said as Vi nodded and tried to catch her breath. 

"No problem, Lil." Jamie responded. "Oh and nice to meet you, Vi. You look beautiful when you can't breathe." He winked at her and walked with the rest of the boys inside while Vi began to breathe heavily again. She pulled me into the next room and looked at me obviously shocked by what had just happened. 

"Lillia, there here!" She cried silently. I nodded; "Yeah, I know. I wasn't expecting them, and I don't think Alex was either, so they must have just decided to hang out here. Don't worry Vi, they're just normal people; They're nothing to get nervous over." She looked back at me and took as much sass as she could manage through the excitement to say "Easy for you, Lillia. This is my favorite band, and one of them just complimented me!" I laughed. I tried to see how anyone could think the boys were anything better than just the boys, other than there awesome musical talents, but it was beyond me. 

"It's going to be fine, Vi." I said. "And as for Jamie, I think you should go for it. He's single right now." I winked and nudged her before heading back into the living room. 

"So, you guys came out of nowhere. I hope you brought enough food for yourselves." 

They all nodded and returned to munching on their tacos. 

"Hey, Lillia!" Jamie motioned to me, and I stepped over towards him. "You're friend looks great." I laughed. "Vi? Well, if you think she looks so great, then go for her! I'm not stopping you." He chuckled, and I laughed along with him. As long as I had my own match back, why couldn't I play a little matchmaker? I sat back on the couch with Alex as Vi walked in and motioned for her to sit down next to Jamie. I looked at Alex, and we both smirked. This would be interesting.
