All's Fair in Love and One Direction

7: All's Fair in IHOP & Vegetarianism

Chapter 7

In the morning, when I wake up, I roll over and see on my phone:

TEXT MESSAGES: 2

From Liam

Wow.

I pick up my phone and scroll through the messages:

Liam: You awake?

Liam: You wanna get together with us for breakfast? 10:00 sound good?

Aww. Then I look at my clock. Ohmygosh it's already 9:15!!!

I quickly text back: Sure, where?

In a few seconds my phone beeps again:

Liam: IHOP?

Me: Yesss meet you there

I shower in record time, change, throw my hair into a messy bun and put on some makeup. It's 9:50 when I finally pull out of the apartment parking complex and start for IHOP.

By the time I walk into the restaurant, its five minutes past ten. I look around and see five hands sticking up from a booth, waving with all their might. Hmm, wonder who that could be?

I make my way over to the booth and see Liam, Niall, and Zayn crammed into one side, Harry and Louis on the other. "Hey Andie!" Louis calls out. "We were beginning to think you'd bailed!"

"Bail? Maybe on you, but on IHOP? Never!" I joke. Harry squishes himself closer to Louis to make room for me, and I sit down next to him. Our knees touch, and I feel a flutter inside. I convince myself it's just leftover fangirl that hasn't quite left my system and reach for a menu.

"The bacon here is really good," Louis tells me. "- Mm, bacon!!! I should get some!!!"

"As opposed to banana onions?" I tease. He turns pink and smacks me with a menu.

"He's right, though," Zayn interrupts. "The bacon here is amazing. Or should I say - amayZAYN?"

The boys groan. I laugh.

"Actually, I'm vegetarian," I tell them. "So I'll just stick with the pancakes."

Niall stares. "You're vegetarian? Then we can't take you to Nando's!"

"I can still eat Nando's, Niall! I just don't eat the chicken," I correct him.

Niall gives me a look. "Nando's is chicken, Andie. You can't go to Nando's and not eat the chicken!"

I shake my head and smile.

We order (our waiter is a guy, which visibly depresses Harry. Haha) and our food comes - just pancakes for me, pancakes and bacon for the boys, plus an extra order of waffles for Niall. I guess the rumors are true - Niall really does never stop eating.

(A/N: Hey butterflies!!! It's Maria!! I know, I know!!! This chapter is ridiculously short and I'm sorry :( There will never again be a chapter of this length in our fanfic. I promise!!! But sympathize with me - when I wrote this, I had the worst writer's block EVER. I could barely put together a sentence! I think it's a miracle I made it this long, to be honest. But I am sorry. So, to make it up to you, Katie is going to upload chapter 8 right after I upload this one, and then you will have a double upload to make up for the inexcusable shortness of this chapter. So forgive me??

...

Yay!! Thank you :))
