Follow the sun - Xavier Rudd

"So which way is the wind blowin',

And what does your heart say?"

As soon as we got home I got everyone to help me rearrange the sofa so that it's in more of a semi circle so that we could do this properly. We all sat down, Harry and Sam next to each other, then Harrison, then Tom, then me. All eyes were in my direction asking questions without actually using words, by now I was just as tipsy as I was when we left.

"Okay. So since tonight is my first proper night in London, because apparently last night didn't count." I say sarcastically whilst I look at Tom beside me.

"I thought we should get to know each other more by playing truth or dare. Well really it's a chance for me to get to know you guys and you to get to know me as well but it's fun so why not." I say with a smile. Once everyone agrees we all grab a couple drinks, obviously I was given water, before settling back down onto the sofa.

"So who's first?" Harry asks excitedly.

"I think Maisie should, you know because she's the one that suggested it." Harrison replies.

"Okay then, give it your best shot." I raise my arms up as though I'm surrendering.

"Truth or dare?" Harry asks smugly.

"Mmmmm it's going to have to be truth."
I would usually go with a dare first but I have to easy them into my personality.

"Okay" He says looking up the ceiling and tapping his finger on his chin.

"What made you want to move to London, and why into this flat?" He asks.

"Well Harry, it was time to go out on my own. I didn't want to live under my parents rules anymore. I couldn't have the life I wanted as a teenager and so I made a spontaneous decision to move to a different country. And as for moving here? I don't know, I knew I wanted to live with guys because I get along with them more. But I guess I just felt like this was a good place for me to go." I say with a smile and earning a couple aws from all of them and a nudge from Tom.

"Anyway" I say dragging the 'ay'.
"Now I ask" I say with a smirk.

"Sam! You've been utterly quiet this whole time. Truth or dare?" I say with a devilish grin.

"Uh... truth" He says. Hahaha this is going to be fun.

"Well Sam... are you single?" I ask, everyone stops and looks at me immediately. Tom coughs in his drink, spilling over his front and quickly wiping it away from his mouth.

"Unfortunately not" He says with a little chuckle. Harrison's eyes go from mine to Sam's in shock, I just sit back and smirk. I know I said I'd ease them into my personality but I couldn't help myself. I wasn't interested in Sam, sure he was very cute but I just wanted to see everyone's reaction when I said it.

"Moving on" Harrison said, still in a little bit of shock. After my question, the truths and dares started getting worse from there. Tom has to read dirty fan fiction to us, Harry had to give Harrison a lap dance, Sam had tell Nikki he got his girlfriend pregnant, Harrison had to let us post what ever we wanted on his Instagram and since it was my go I decided to do the most petty thing in the world.

"Alright that's me off, I'll see you guys in the mornings." I say getting up and waving them goodbye

"Excuse me young lady you come back here right now" Harrison said standing up and walking over to me.

"You are not leaving this room until you do this." He said furrowing his eyebrows, knowing the kind of person Harrison proves himself to be, he was being serious. I cross my arms over my chest and left out a big huff.

"Truth or dare?" He asks.

"Dare" I say sadly, letting my bottom lip hang low. Suddenly a smile appears on his face and he starts to laugh.

"Well Miss Clark, since you were oh so eager to hop off to bed why don't you have yourself a bed warmer. I dare you and Tom to sleep in his bed together tonight." He says, the smirk not leaving his face.

"That's not up to me Harrison" I say with a shrug.

"I'm fine with it." Tom says standing up.

"And since it's your dare, you have to do it." Harrison says, giving me a little wink.

"Have fun you two." He pushes Tom towards me and smiles. We make our way up to his room, as soon as we get in there I sit cross legged on his bed. He shuts the door behind him before taking off his shoes and coming to join me on the bed.

"I can sleep on the floor if you want." He says twisting his thumbs around in his palms.

"I mean it was my dare, you can sleep there if you want to. I'm not making you do what you don't want to do but It's your fault if Harrison bullies us for it." I say nervously.

"Either way he'll end up saying something about it." He laughs.

"But I mean, you aren't wrong. You can't exactly not finish a dare" he says shyly rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah, exactly." I say. We both slowly crawl up the bed and lay flat on our backs underneath the covers. Laying there for a couple seconds before saying something, it was an awkward tranquility.

"Goodnight Maisie" He says, turning off the light beside him.

"Goodnight Tom." I reply, slightly smiling to myself. We lay there, just facing opposite ways. My hand started to shake when the cold, I rub them together and then put them between my legs to try and warm them up. When I can't warm them up I just lay back on my back and let out a shaky sigh. After another couple quiet seconds I hear a soft voice from beside me.

"Are you cold?" He asks in a raspy sleepy voice.

"Yeah, it's fine though. I'll just get used to it." I say back quietly.

"Do you want some help?" He asks, I can feel my cheeks immediately get flushed with blood.

"Sure" I say, trying not to freak out.

"Come over here." He says. I wriggle my body over to the other side of the bed, his arm wrapping around me and pulling my head into his chest. I rested my leg over the top of his and melted into his warmth, stooping me from shaking straight away.

"Is that better?" He asked softly, his breath brushing over the top of my head.

"Much" I smile onto his chest as I let myself fall asleep on him.
