That One Summer

Chapter Five

“It’s settled then, you’ll stay with us then!” Abby said a smile tugging at her lips. I smiled and blushed as I felt Niall staring at me.

“Okay boys, this is what is going to happen, I’m going to get you guys two cars and one will go to a hotel and the other will follow the girls to the house. I’m going to ride in the car with Josh and the rest of the band to the hotel. You guys are going to go to Megan’s house and stay there until I give you any further directions, and Louis now is not the time for a One Direction joke.” Paul said as Louis hung his head and sighed.

“Fine, ruin all my fun.” Louis told him with a pout, but stopped when he saw the look Paul gave him.

“Girls I want your addresses, phone numbers, and parents’ names.” He said looking us in the eyes. I saw Megan gulp.

“Are you going to call them?” She asked nervously, knowing her parents would have a fit and probably tell my dad which would mean no nothing my whole senior year. Paul looked at us clearly torn, should he tell our parents and run the high risk of the boys having to stay in the cramped tour bus, or allow the boys to stay with two eighteen year olds and seventeen year old, when he himself  had a daughter.

“How old are you girls?” He asked us his Irish accent coming out a bit.

“I’m 18 and so is Megan. Riley turns 17 in August though.” Abby told him, her bottom lip jutting out a bit trying to use the puppy dog pout.

“Fine, I won’t call them, but that means I don’t want you guys messing around with each other okay?” He asked looking directly at Harry who had been staring at Abby all night, I would have thought I’d be jealous but they looked perfect for each other, I thought quietly.

“Gosh, Paul what do you think I am?” Harry asked with a smirk, but Paul was clearly not amused.

“Harold, behave or I will talk to your mother about limiting you conversations with her.” He told him, looking straight into Harry’s green eyes. Niall snickered trying to hide it with a cough, failing epically. I almost giggled earning me a glare from Abby

“You wouldn’t.” Harry said trying to call the security guards bluff.

“Don’t try me. Anyway girls, full names, dates of birth, parents’ names, home addresses, parents phone numbers; don’t look at me like that Harry it’s just a precaution.” He told us as we dished out all our information.  When we finished Megan brought her car around towards the back of the arena while the boys switched outfits with the other members of the band.

We quickly fled and watched as the boys pulled out behinds us and followed us to Megan’s. I saw their faces light up with a smile when they got out.

“This reminds me of my house.” Harry said as he put his hood down and walked up to the door waiting for Megan to unlock it. The other boys were struggling with their suitcases, apparently Paul couldn’t find an available hotel for two months and the boys would be staying here. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a bag from Zayn who had the most bags at four, and helped him lug it up the stairs.

“Okay so for tonight I figured we could all just have a big sleep over movie marathon in the living room and tomorrow we could figure out who will be rooming with who.” Megan told us, taking charge as usual. We nodded in agreement. “Boys I don’t know about you but if I had just performed live jumping and dancing for quite a few hours I would want to take a shower. We have five, but only three can be running at the same time.” She explained watching as a grateful look crossed the boy’s faces.

“I think Louis, Niall and I should go first because Zayn and Harry use up all the warm water and take the longest.” Liam said, showing us why he really is Daddy Direction. Harry and Zayn nodded in an agreement and stayed in the living room while I showed Niall to his shower, Abby showed Louis, and Meagan showed Liam. I led Niall into my room and asked him to stand outside the door while I hurriedly ran to my bathroom and picked up any of my cloths that might have been laying around and was grateful I had, because as soon as I walked in I saw two of my bras laying on the floor I went to pick them up and tripped causing a loud thud to be heard and Niall to come running in.

“Riley! Are you okay?” He asked as I quickly shoved the bras behind my back.

“Yeah, the floor looked lonely and I thought it might need a hug.” I told him, causing him to chuckle. I backed out of the bathroom and threw my bras in the closest, and sighed. That was close. I heard the water turn on and grabbed two towels and sat them by the bathroom door. I grabbed a pair of sweat pants, a kami, and an over-sized t-shirt and changed while he took a shower. I exited my room and made my way to the kitchen to make some pop-corn and other little snacks for the movies.  By the time everything was finished all of the boys had taken their showers and were laying in the living room.

“Um boys, I know I said we would all stay in the living room but I think the basement would be a better idea, there is way more room down there.” Megan told them as she grabbed a bowl of popcorn and led the boys down stairs.

“Need some help Riley?” Niall asked as I tried to pick up two bowls of pop-corm and almost dropped one. I blushed and nodded as we walked down the stairs and laughed when I saw his face. Megan’s parents had this huge couch made for her and her siblings and the movies were played on a projector and two love seats filled the room. I sat down the pop-corn and chuckled when I saw Niall almost dive for it. I turned around and grabbed a couple of pillows and blankets and sat them on the huge couch and grabbed a pillow and blanket and laid down on one of the love seats.

“Do you mind if I lay with you? The other couch is getting kind of crowded, and Liam claimed the other love seat.” Niall asked. I looked around and saw that Abby, Megan, Zayn, Louis and Harry were all lying on the big couch comfortably but there wasn’t much room for anyone else. I nodded and lifted up my blanket and snuggled in close to him while Abby started the movie, I fell asleep cuddled up to Niall before the movie even started.
