It had been a hectic day in the studio and I wanted nothing more than to just relax for the rest of the night with Scar. I softly knocked at her door. She opened the door. Suddenly my day had gotten ten times better.

‘Hey babe.’ I said whilst kissing her lightly on the cheek.

‘Hi sexy, come in’ She replied.

‘How was your day?’ I asked.

‘Mmm, tough. Paps were everywhere.’

‘I’m so sorry. I thought it wouldn’t have been out there already.’ I said sympathetically.

‘It’s okay. I’m pulling up alright.’ She said with a smile.

‘So, erm I brought movies’ I stated

‘Ooh! Which ones?’

‘My sister’s keeper and paranormal activity.’

‘Oooh okay. Let’s do it.’

She flicked on the tv, and put my sister’s keeper on first, making a promise to herself that she wouldn’t cry for the 100th time she’d seen this movie. We sat on the couch waiting for it to start. Half way through, tears started to fall down her face as she tried to keep her sniffling to a minimum. But this didn’t cease for me to see it. Our fingers were already laced together as we held hands. I stroked my thumb against her hand and looked down on her through my lashes. My other arm was around her shoulder and I pulled her in closer to my side. I then unhooked my arm from around her shoulders and used my thumb to wipe away her fallen tears. I kissed her forehead and she looked up and smiled through teary eyes. That movie had ended and we were now watching paranormal activity. She’d told me how she’d practically grown up watching these movies, so they didn’t usually phase her. But this one seemed to be different. She jumped as things popped out and held the doona over her face with her eyes shut tight. I laughed and switched the tv off. She looked up.

‘Aw, soft are you? Had to turn off the tv cos’ you were scared right?’ She mocked.

‘Ha nice try but I’m pretty sure you were the one with your eyes shut tight under the doona.’

She hit me, seeing as she had no come back. I then tickled her. She squirmed all over the place throwing the doona and popcorn everywhere. The maid would have fun cleaning this tomorrow. She dived onto the bed begging me to stop. Finally she surrendered. We got into bed and just laid there talking. Her head was rested upon my chest and I had my arm placed around her back, tracing my fingers up and down her smooth back, kissing her forehead every so often. I asked her what is was like back home and how different It was in comparison to here. I told her about the boys, all the places we’d toured and how we rose to our fame. I was really interested in her, because I’d never met anyone so interesting and that had an affect on me like she had.

‘Actually. I’d love you to meet the boys. Yesterday they were saying how much they wanted to meet you.’ I brought up.

‘Yeah, I’d love to.’ She smiled.

‘How about tomorrow? We’ll go out for dinner then hit up some clubs?’

‘Sounds great to me.’ She replied as our faces got closer and we shared a kiss.

We soon drifted off to sleep.

Zayn examined my facial expressions. I looked up and gave him my best reassuring smile, although it wasn’t so convincing.

‘Don’t worry Scar. They’re going to love you.’ He said as he squeezed my hand slightly tighter, bringing it up to his lips and placing a soft kiss on the back of my hand.

I looked down on what I was wearing hoping it would do. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/app

I wasn’t usually the nervous type, but I really wanted to make an impression for mine and Zayn’s sake.

We reached the restaurant, as I hopped out, I had obviously shown nervousness in my face and as I spoke, I almost choked.

‘Scar. Seriously, from what the boys have heard about you, they love you already!’ He said showing that gorgeous smile of his.

I gave him a quick smile and looked down at the ground, feeling a little better after what he’d just said.

He placed his hand around my waist and lead me into the restaurant spotting the boys almost instantly. They all stood and had beaming smiles spread across their faces. I smiled in unison.

‘You must be Scarlett!’ Louis chirped.

‘Yes! Hi!’ I said as I shook all their hands as they kissed my cheek, one after the other.

‘It’s so nice to finally meet you all!’ I said happily as I took my seat next to Zayn.

‘Yes, you too! We’ve heard a lot about you.’ Liam said. I saw Harry shoot Zayn a look and wink at him.

‘All good I hope.’ I said consciously.

‘Oh course.’ Niall said eagerly eyeing off the waiter signaling for him to bring out the menus.

‘Zayn never stops talking about you actually.’ Harry explained. Moments after I looked over at Zayn laughing, he looked down shyly with a smirk, whilst nodding.

‘Yeah, keep ‘em coming boys.’ He said clearly embarrassed.

They asked me about Australia, How Zayn and I first met, and multiple other subjects. I then asked them about their journey on x-factor and asked each one individually about something Zayn had told me.

‘So Harry, I hear you like older women?’ I mocked.

A burst of laughter came from all the boys.

‘Oh, she’s a keeper Zayn!’ Louis exclaimed.

Harry sat there laughing .

‘Your cheeky! Zayn, She’s cheeky!’ He said in his broad, deep british accent.

I don’t know why I had under-estimated myself. We all seemed to be getting along so well.

After dinner, we decided to head off to the clubs.

‘Now Scar, keen to hit up some clubs with us?’ Harry asked.

‘So keen.’ I replied.

‘Scar, you may have to prepare yourself for our pulling moves.’ Liam embraced.

‘Now I’m really keen!’ I exclaimed.

Zayn squeezed my hand softly, and kissed me on the cheek.

He leaned in close to my ear.

‘They absolutely love you.’ He whispered.

I smiled at him whilst biting my bottom lip.
