5 //Rose//

  As soon as Jemma, Cas and I close the front door of our house behind us, I start squealing.

  “I can’t believe Calum gave me his number, this is amazing!”

  “I know. I thought I was going to die when Luke made a contact in my phone!” Jemma responded. Cas just smiled and nodded, looking happier than she has in a while.

  “Do you think they’ll come to visit?” Jemma asks.

  “I hope so. I really like Michael.” Cas says.

  “Okay, I think you know what this means. IT’S MEAN GIRLS TIME” I shout, and Jemma starts jumping up and down and Cas launches herself to the couch.

  “THIS SPOT IS MINE” She shrieks, falling into a fit of laughter.

  “I’m going to go make some popcorn, any special topping requests?” Jemma asks.

  “Cheese please.” Cas responds.

  “May I have caramel?” I ask. Jemma nods, and then walks into the kitchen.

  “I’m so glad Jemma can cook.” I say with a sigh, flopping down on the couch.

  “Yeah, we would probably starve without her.” Cas says, and we both start laughing. Soon Jemma walks in with three bowls of popcorn, and for a second she stands in the doorway and looks Cas and me collapsed on the floor in a fit of giggles.

  “What were you two laughing about?” She asks.

  “JEMMA I’M SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE! DO YOU HAVE FOOD? I THINK I’M ABOUT TO STARVE.” Cas yells, and sends both of us into another spasm of laughter.

  “Weirdos.” Jemma mutters, and steps over us and sinks into the couch. She hands each of us our bowls of popcorn, mine with caramel, Cas’ with cheese, and hers with Nutella.

  “Jemma, you didn’t put enough cheese on my popcorn!” Cas whines.

  “FINE THEN! STARVE! SEE IF I CARE!” Jemma says, exaggerating her British accent to the point where she sounds like the Queen.

  “OH MY GOSH QUEEN ELIZABETH I LOVE YOU” I shout, and we all start laughing hysterically.

  Soon the movie is playing, and all of us are silently mouthing the words along with the characters. Even though we’ve all seen this movie seven trillion times, we still laugh at every part like it’s the first time. About halfway through the movie I look over to Jemma and see her sound asleep, her phone still on the Tumblr app in her hand. I tap Cas and point at Jemma, silently giggling. Cas hold up her index finger and mouths “one second”. She grabs her phone and quickly snaps a picture. I have to admit, it’s adorable. Jemma has a hint of a smile on her lips and every so often she mumbles gibberish. Cas point at my phone and mouths “twitter”. I quickly open the app to see Cas tweeted the picture just a few seconds ago. I quickly favorite and retweet it, adding “this so called party girl passed out before 10:00 pm. Soon we’ve finished the movie and start heading off to bed. Just as I’m about to walk upstairs, I realize that we can’t get Emma back in her bed. If she realizes she spent the night on the couch, she’ll know that one of us did something to her while she was sleeping. Plus, the sunlight may wake her up, and no one likes a Jemma operating on less than eight hours of sleep. I sit on the couch with Cas for a second, trying to figure out something, and then I realize- just today we met and got the numbers of four strong boys. I quickly shoot Calum a text, telling him to come over with the boys, but to make sure they’re quiet when they enter. Soon I hear a quiet knock at the door and open it to find Calum, Michael and Luke standing there. I close the door and step outside so I can explain the situation.

  “Where’s Ashton?” I ask before anything else.

  “He’s asleep, and we decided it would be best not to wake him up.” Michael says. I nod.

  “Okay, so we were watching a movie and Jemma fell asleep on the couch and neither Cas nor I can move her back upstairs. Do you think you guys could help?” I ask. Luke immediately nods.

  “You only need one person. I got this.” He says, determinedly, and pushes open the door. He walks into the living room and when he sees sleeping Jemma on the couch his face melts into a smile. He gently picks her up and starts walking up the stairs.

  “It’s the room at the end of the hall.” Cas whispers.

  “You can sleep over if you want.” I blurt out, and then realize what I said. I couldn’t help it though, the look he gave Jemma was adorable, and I really want them to get together. “You guys can sleepover too.” I say, pointing to Michael and Calum.

  “Great.” Michael says, and plops himself on the couch next to Cas, immersing her in conversation. I gesture at the couch to Calum and we sit down next to each other. We talk for a while, and at some point I put Finding Nemo into the DVD player. After a while, we both get too tired to talk anymore, and end up cuddling. The last thing I remember before I fell asleep was how amazing his beating heart sounded in my ear as I rested my head on his chest.
