"So..." I said to Niall.
We were by ourselves, the boys having gone elsewhere. Louis was driving around, his excuse to be out and about- and to keep Niall and I alone, he thought we were a couple. Harry was refusing to talk to anyone, he was that mad, and he was walking around- he'd be back in a hour. Zayn had decided that he'd like to buy new C.D.s, just for the heck of it. And then Liam.... he was trying to comfort Harry, he left a bit after him. He wanted to let Harry know he was there for him.
"Yeah..." Niall said, taking out his iphone to check twitter.
At the sight of his iphone, I took out my own. I knew Jake had replied- I had ignored the message at bowling.
From: The Annoying One
Fine. Bye....
I smiled, knowing he now got the point, and slid my phone in my pocket. Niall didn't notice, he just smiled like he was having the best time.
"Well, we could do something.... but what, I don't know..." he said.
He looked at his phone, which he pulled out and smiled. I leaned over and looked at it. He didn't notice.
From: Harry
Well, just warning you, I'll put up a good fight. You can have her for now, till I think of a good plan. I will be gone an extra hour.
I pretended that I hadn't seen anything and slid back into sitting position.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Oh, just Harry. He said he'd be an extra hour," he said, not saying anything else about it.
He leaned over into his phone and texted back. Out of the corner of my eye I saw his phone.
To: Harry
Right, right. Alex is mine until you sort out your "issues".
I giggled to myself. "Issues". Niall looked up from his phone like nothing had happened.
"So, plan," he continued our thought.
"Okay, how 'bout.... what do you like?" I asked aloud.
He muttered something under his breath that sounded oddly like "you and Nando's." He covered it up, and continued.
"Well, we could surprise the boys with a homemade dinner," he suggested.
I wasn't sure if he liked cooking or what, but I agreed.
"Let's do it," I said with a smile.
___________________________________
So, right. When the boys came home, they were surprised by our homemade, no we aren't lying, food. We also had a cake, which Niall called to eat the most. He called the biggest piece, which I think he cut purposely to be big.
"Yeah, this is yummy. Who made it?" Liam teased. "Maybe... a box?"
Niall laughed.
"Us," we said in unison.
Louis laughed, "You guys are so cute together."
I blushed, and Niall shrugged and smiled. Harry glared at him. Him and Niall had basically fought for a seat next to me. Then Zayn pointed out that, yes, there ARE two seats. Niall sat to my right, with Harry on my left.
"Hey mom," Niall said.
His mom walked in, and looked strangely at all of us, already ready with food.
"Who made it?" she asked, like she couldn't trust us. "I'm not eating it if Louis made it... He's a good cook, but he might add extra carrots."
"The couple did," Louis said proudly.
Niall blushed and so did I.
"Who is this 'couple'?" she asked.
"Niall and I. He's been teasing us about that for the WHOLE day," I said.
She laughed, and took a seat at the head.
"So, what is this?" she asked.
"Chicken pot pie," I replied. "And cake. Niall called the biggest piece."
She smiled, and started to eat. Harry was staring at me in a puppy-like way. I just smiled politely, like someone that was denying to say anything.
________________
"IT'S CAKE TIME!" Niall shouted when his mom was finished eating.
She had been eating slowly, just to annoy him.
"NOM NOM NOM!" Niall said as he grabbed his freakishly large piece of cake.
I laughed, and dove for the next biggest piece.
"Nom nom nom," I said as I started to eat.
It was actually pretty good for our pair of cooks.
I smiled at Niall, and he smiled back as he shoved large pieces of cake in his mouth. I observed that Harry wasn't really eating, just picking at his food. Oh well....
