The Catch | Zayn Malik

The Catch ; Chapter 25.

25.

"Weeeee- wish you a merry Christmas, weeeeee- wish you a merry Christmas, weeeeee- wish you a merry Chriiiiiiiistmas, and a Happy New Year!" Blythe screamed happily. Her feet were dangling in the air as her fingers made circles on her couch. Currently, she was laying down on the floor with Niall as they both started to sing Christmas Carols. Everyone else- including Eleanor and Danielle - were seated on the couch, watching Blythe and Niall with interest.

A loud groan came from Danielle as she tugged the hem of Liam's shirt. Liam sighed and looked at her. Danielle had a pouted look on her face, in which Liam knew what she was thinking. He glanced at the singing duo on the floor, then glanced at the clock.

"Alright, let's go." He mumbled, getting up. A relieved smile washed over Danielle's face as Louis and Eleanor stood up as well.

"Where are you lot going?" Niall asked, seeing the four stand up. Harry and Zayn were kept on the couch, continuously kicking eachother with laughs. Blythe stopped singing and stared at the four.

"We're leaving, because we can't take your singing!" Eleanor burst out, her hair flying in all directions. Louis snorted, then quickly slapped Eleanor's bum. Eleanor sighed of frustration and spun on her heel, stomping towards the door. Louis immediately followed.

"But you're going to be twenty minutes early!" Blythe remarked. Liam helped to get a coat on Danielle as they were already at the door. Eleanor and Louis, as well as Liam and Danielle, made reservations to an expensive restaurant. It was somewhat of a week before Christmas (Wednesday, fourteenth, two-thousand-and-eleven) and the couples wanted to squeeze in a last minute date before the holidays.

"Sorry B', but your singing is absolutely awful." Danielle replied. Blythe sighed and looked at Niall, who shrugged at her.

"Am I that much of an awful singer?" Blythe asked, her question forwarding to Harry. Harry looked up from his kicking fight with Zayn and pulled a face.

"Your singing would be better if you were in a bikini. Or better, naked." He replied calmly. Blythe's eyebrows rose as a hearty laugh came from Zayn and Niall. Blythe gasped and threw a discarded pillow at him. Wanting to smoothly dodge it, the unexpected happened as the pillow flew right in his face. Now, it was Blythe's turn to laugh.

"Have fun, children!" Harry called out after Liam, Danielle, Eleanor, and Louis.

"Use a condom!" Zayn shouted right after, but sadly the entrance door closed right after. A chorus of laughter went around the room as everyone's laughs echoed around Harry's and Louis' condo. Soon after, the laughter died down, causing everyone to go silent. Blythe stood up and fell on the comfortable chair adjacent to the couch. Niall sat in a criss-cross, remaining on the ground.

"Christmas is in a week and three days." Blythe said in the lone silence. Zayn, Harry, and Niall all nodded their heads. More silence came to follow, but it was a comfortable silence.

"We got only today, and Friday to see eachother before next year." Harry stated, in which everyone nodded again. It was a true statement, as the time they had now, and the few hours they'll have at the airport. And, since they wouldn't be seeing eachother at New Years, the next time they'll see eachother would be in two-thousand-and-twelve. Blythe hadn't even ordered her ticket yet to go home. Seeing as the three boys who she was sitting with now, she guessed that they haven't bought their ticket either.

"Have you all bought your tickets?" Blythe asked. She thought right, as they all shook their heads 'no'. Blythe knew that Harry lived in Cheshire, Zayn in Bradford, and Niall in Mullingar, so tickets wouldn't be as expensive as she thought. Perhaps for Niall, as he was flying over water.
