Hey, Love (One Direction)

Five: Butter on the Floor

Five

Alex’s POV

We watched anxiously as the others ran off, Harry stopping to pick Jasmine up, throwing her over his shoulder. I let out a laugh and Ally glared at me. The man with the scary snake tattoo had previously introduced himself as Barry, which is a pretty scary name if you ask me. It had turned out that he was actually a manager here too.

We walked inside after the others had run off too far, a few of the security guards disappearing after them. Barry was going to give us a lecture about public disturbance.

“You know what? I actually wanted to see that movie,” I groaned as we walked towards an office.

“Are you joking?” Ally asked and  I laughed and she shot me a poisonous look. Zayn and Niall walked ahead of us, and when I was sure they were out of ear shot, I grabbed Ally’s arm.

.“Guess what?” She was silent, waiting for me to reply. “I scored a date with the Niall Horan.” I started jumping up and down, Zayn and Niall turned around. “I’m-uh- trying to touch the ceiling.”

I saw Ally hold back a giggle. “She always does that.” She admitted, after the boys turned around we giggled like little girls.

“Oh my GOD!” Ally said suddenly, and I quickly jerked my gaze up to what she was looking at.

“Zayn’s ass? Really?”

She nodded and grinned, we stepped inside. Barry sat behind a large, wooden desk in the middle of the room. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at us expectantly. “Well?” he asked. “Why shouldn’t I call the police? You assaulted me with popcorn. I could charge you for that, you know.”

We argued that throwing popcorn isn’t assault and that heaps of people talk in cinemas. We even managed to somehow convince the guy that it wasn’t us talking, but the people across from us. He let us off with a stern warning, telling us never to do it again.

 “They owe us big time.” Zayn mumbles as we walked outside. Ally nods in agreement.  Niall pulls out his phone suddenly, pressing buttons before he holds the device up to his ear. He talks for a while and we stay quiet enough so we can hear half the conversation. When Niall’s done, he shoves the phone back in his pocket and turns to us. “Alrighty, Liam and the others went back to their apartment, so I told him we’d meet him there.” We all nodded and looked around for a bit, realizing that they probably had taken our transport. We ended up deciding to take a taxi.

 “Ally remind me to call Grace when I get home.” I said as we climbed into the vehicle. Grace was my sister. She was in France being a midwife.

“Alex call Grace when you get home. “ She joked.

Niall sat in the passenger seat, and Zayn sat in between Ally and I. The radio was playing softly in the background and I felt awkwardly uncomfortable with the taxi driver staring at us oddly every now and then. I pull out my phone and ear-buds.

“So where are you guys from?”Zayn asks, breaking the silence.

“Australia!” Ally says a bit too excitedly. Whenever we talked about home, it just made everyone homesick. I let out a sigh and put my phone away. “Allyyyy!” I moaned.

“What?”

“When we go back to our apartment can we watch Batman? Puh-lease?”

“Which one?”

“2005 Batman Begins, actually, maybe some Clooney, I don’t know.” I moan again.

“I wouldn’t mind some Clooney either.” Zayn looked confused.
