What The Heart Wants (Stereo Kicks/ James Graham)

Chapter 5

I woke up the next morning before Tom and slowly slid out of bed so I wouldn't wake him. I quietly brushed my hair and left the room, careful not to make any noise. In the hallway, I noticed that the TV was on so I looked in the living room and saw James, Casey and Chris all sitting down watching some british show that I wasn't familiar with. I walked into the living room and sat down on the floor in front of the couch and faced the TV. "Morning." All three boys said at the same time. "Morning." I turned and gave all of them a smile. "Where's Jake and Barclay?" I asked after I noticed that only Reece and Charlie were sleeping on the floor. "Casey and I decided to sleep out here so they took the guest bedroom." James answered. "Oh. What time did you guys wake up?" I turned around so I was facing the boys instead of the TV. "I woke up at eight, and Casey and Chris woke up about fifteen minutes ago." James told me. I looked at him and shook my head in disbelief. "What?" He smiled. "Nothing. I just didn't have you pegged for a morning person." I replied. "Well there's still a lot you don't know about me." He winked. "Very true." I agreed. "Theres a lot you guys don't know about me either." I playfully stuck my tongue out at them.  "Well go on then. Let us get to know you." Casey said. "Give it time. You'll get to know me soon enough." I smiled. They smiled back and returned their attention to the TV. "What the hell are you guys watching?" I asked, turning around again and focusing my attention on what was on the screen. "The Alan Carr show." Chris answered. "It's actually pretty good. I didn't know what it was at first either but he's hilarious." He added. I didn't reply, I just watched the show. After about half an hour I had to stand up. "You okay?" Casey asked me. "Fine. I just can't feel my butt." I chuckled and so did the other boys. "Here." Chris scooted over offering me the space between him and James. I gladly took it. "Thanks." I gave him an appreciative smile and we all went back to watching the show. After the show was over, James turned the television off and looked over at me, Chris and Casey. "I've got an idea." He said with a devilish grin. He quietly got off the couch and me and the other two boys followed him. He went over to Tom's CD shelf and picked out One Directions album, Midnight Memories. I smiled, for two reasons. One being that Tom actually owned a One Direction CD and two, James willingly picked it out. We all tiptoed over to Toms DVD player and put the CD in. At first I didn't understand why James put it in the DVD player but then I noticed that Toms TV has surround sound. I surpressed my laughter as James turned the TV volume up all the way to 75. It was about to be loud as hell in here. "What song?" James asked me. He offered me the CD case but I didn't need it. "Little White Lies. Track twelve." I whispered back. And with that, James skipped the CD to number twelve and pushed play. The song immediately began to blare throughout the house and Charlie and Reece jumped so bad that Chris, Casey, James and I all started laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. I couldn't help it, I ran into Toms room, opened his door, jumped on his bed and began screaming the lyrics to the song. "IF THIS ROOM WAS BURNING! I WOULDN'T EVEN NOTICE, CAUSE YOU'VE BEEN TAKING UP MY MIND WITH YOUR, LITTLE WHITE LIES, LITTLE WHITE LIES!!" I was jumping and yelling and ran out of breath before I thought I would. Out of nowhere, Tom jumped out from under his blankets and tackled me. "Aahh! James, Casey, Chris!! Help!" I screamed through my laughter. When the boys came bursting into the room they seen Tom on top of me wrestling me and all hell broke loose. They all jumped on the bed and what started off as a wake up call turned into a wrestling match. It was amazing. None of us could stop laughing or smiling and after a few minutes Jake, Barclay, Reece and Charlie all joined in. Needless to say, I lost against all the boys I wrestled. Eventually we got tired and worked up an appetite. "Let's go get something to eat, yeah?" Tom suggested while trying to steady his breathing. We all agreed and went to get dressed. Once we were all dressed, we walked down the street to a little café and ordered breakfast. After breakfast, we walked back to Toms and got down to business.
