Val's POV

"Come on Val! You have to wake up sometime!" says Ellery. We are in a cab. At 8 am. On a Saturday. El is way to cheery in the morning. I mean just look at her. Bouncing up and down in excitement. SHE HASN'T EVEN HAD ANY COFFEE YET!

"Oh screw Zumba!" I mumble sitting up. Maya giggles while El looks at me hurt. I muster up all my energy to give her a cheeky grin. Her face relaxes and she smirks at me. El hands me another Starbucks double shot and says, "We'll be there in about 5 minutes so WAKE UP!" Starbucks is like her drug. Besides Ice Cream. And I guess dance. And Lou of course. They are like the perfect couple! I sigh as I think about how great it would be to have a relationship like theirs... But with Niall. I am left with little time to ponder this because, as El said, we are now arriving to Zumba. Maya pulls me up, pushes me out of the car, and leads my into class.

Maya's POV

"GEEZ. THIS IS HARD WORK. I can't barely even whisper this!" I whisper to Val who nods in agreement. We are doing Zumba. We are all dying. The room smells like sweat and desperation. I look around the room and can't help notice that we are the only young girls here. The rest of the people are like 35 at least. I glance at El and Val. We all smirk and try to hide our giggles.

All of the sudden the next workout song starts. "YOUR INSECURE DON'T KNOW WHAT FOR!!!" Liam's voice sings. We all look around frantically to find the instructor glancing at us as she begins the workout. One by one we all speed walk out of the room. El begins to laugh. I look at Val and we both crack up as well! I notice a drinking fountain nearby. I go and dunk my head under it. This brings more giggles from El and Val who both do the same. "I declare that we have done enough Zumba for one day!" I say through the hysteria and lead the way to the changing rooms.

Val, Ellery, and I grab our stuff and bring it to the shower area. We each choose a stall and hop in. I leave my sports bra and shorts on. The cool water feels wonderful. I forget that I'm in a public shower. All I am aware of is the pounding water and the thoughts running through my mind. "Kiss me like you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved. This feels like fallin in love, fallin in love, fallin in love," I sing out. Before I can continue this Ed Sheeran tune a voice stops me. "Maya, that was amazing." I can tell its El. I am silent. Red begins to creep on my cheeks. "I bet she was singing about Liam!" Val says to break the silence. The awkwardness breaks as we all burst out in giggles. I can already tell that these girls are going to become some of my best friends.

Ellery's POV

The girls and I gather all our remaining stuff from the changing rooms after showering. I lead them out onto the street. "Anyone up for lunch?" I ask. "YES WE'RE STARVED!" Maya replies cheekily. I laugh as I lead them to a cafe called Magianos.

"Why hello Mrs. Tomlinson!" the elderly maitre'd Benny says. I blush as Val and Maya burst out in a silent fit of hysteria. Lou and I come here so often I am a remembered face. "I have your shrimp scampi, bowtie alfredo, and and pesto linguine set out on a balcony table for you! Along with an extra basket of bread," Benny informs me. "Thanks!" I cheerfully say as I lead the girls onto the balcony.

I see their mouths open wide at the size of the pasta plates and the view. Without so much as a word we all dig into our pastas and 2 bread baskets. The butter from the shrimp scampi heats up my taste buds. The shrimp is fantastic, as it always is. By the look on Val's face her bowtie alfredo is delicious too. I glance over at Maya to see that she is already done with her pesto linguine. Val and I finish shortly after her. "Well that was a Nialler sized lunch!" Val pipes up. Maya and I laugh as we stand to go. Our lunch has been prepaid.
