Look After You

Ch 12: God! It's like you live here!

*One week later* 

Claire's POV 

"Oh Oh Oh Oh so put your hands up! Cause it's a stand up!" 

Yes. I sing One Direction in the shower. 

I walked into my room after that refreshing shower. I was towel drying my hair, I saw no point in blow drying it if I was just going to go swimming later. 

Lazy for the win. 

I pulled on white shorts and a blue tank top. I put feather earrings in and my "C" necklace. My brown hair was somewhat dry so I figured that was good enough. It's been one week since Louis sang that song to me. Since then, we've been having a lot of fun, just relaxing on the beach. We're not officially together...I think. We kiss and stuff, but that's it. I don't think either of us are ready for a relationship again so we're taking it slow. I'm just enjoying getting to know him and the boys better. 

Lily, on the other hand, is still beside herself. Yesterday, Liam and Zayn came over to hang out. We were sitting in the living room, playing cards when Lily came downstairs. Her shriek was so loud that Zayn swore it pierced his eardrums. It took her ten minutes to calm down and then she hit me for not telling her that 2/5 of One Direction were coming over and she was in her pajamas. The life of having a little sibling... 

I pulled on my blue TOMS(Louis made me buy a pair) and walked downstairs. But now my parents had gotten used to the fact that I was friends with One Direction and they didn't care anymore when we went from house to house. i waved goodbye to my mom, who was eating breakfast. 

I opened up the front door and skipped down the driveway. 

"TONIGHT LET'S GET SOME AND LIVE WHILE WE'RE YOUNG!" I sang at the top of my lungs. As I walked up the boys's driveway, I looked around. Good thing no one saw me... that'd be awkward. I opened up the front door and walked into the kitchen. They never locked the door because it was a gated community and no one had any idea that One Direction was here. Lily and I were sworn to secrecy. 

Niall was in the kitchen, staring mournfully at the stove. I walked over and patted his shoulder. 

"Niall what's wrong?" I asked, really concerned. 

"I want pancakes... but.." Oh god. That boy and food. He pouted and gave me the puppy dog eyes. 

"Fine Niall, I'll make you pancakes." He hugged me, practically choking me. 

"Thank you Claire! I'll love you forever and ever!" 

"Whatever Horan, now get out of my way."  He did as he was told, sitting at the breakfast bar while I made the pancake batter. He was staring at the pancakes the way that I stare at Louis(so I've been told). It was a little odd. 

I was just putting the pancakes in the pan when Harry walked in, followed by Louis. I smiled at them and squeaked in shock when Louis came over and kissed my cheek. I blushed and the snickers from Niall and Harry weren't helping. 

"Hey," he whispered sexily in my ear, wrapping his arms around my waist. I felt butterflies in my stomach..again. "Hey," I whispered back.

Liam walked in and rolled his eyes. "God, it's like you live here." I turned towards Liam with the spatula in my hand. 

"Problem, Payne?" He shook his head, cheekily grinning. Niall was softly laughing so I turned to him. 

"I really wouldn't laugh at the person who's making you pancakes," i said. Niall's eyes widened and he shook his head. "Sorry," he mumbled. 

"Hey, Claire, nice picture on Twitter," none other than Mr. Malik himself said. I looked at Zayn oddly. 

"What picture on Twitter?" 

Louis pulled my phone out of my pocket, causing me to think VERY inappropriate thoughts. He tapped a few buttons then handed me my phone. "Here love." 

@niallofficial: @claireforever I luv u soo much for making me pancakes. I might have to marry u  xxxx twitpic. 657

There was a picture of me at the stove, flipping pancakes. He took a picture without me knowing! Oh that Irish boy was dead. I walked slowly towards him, glaring. Niall backed up and put his hands out. 

"Don't hurt me or I'll tell Sara." Oh he's playing that card now isn't he? I know Sara and I were best friends, but she might take the risk of being best friendless forever if I touched her beloved Niall. Oh how hot guys come between best friends. 

"You got lucky this time Horan." I stomped back to my pancakes, muttering to myself. Louis kissed my cheek again, completely unaware of the effect he has on me. He grinned at me, brushing my hair out of my eyes. 

"You are so beautiful. After breakfast, I have a surprise for you today."
