Something Great || One Direction

Isabella

Friday came and I got a message that I actually got the job! I was so excited. I start work on Monday and I just want to spend this weekend inside to relax. This is my way of celebrating but when Sam found out, she pulled me out of the apartment and dragged me to the bar. Her workmates where there too. It's a friday night, that's a given, I guess.

As Sam was enjoying her time with her workmates, I stayed by the booth with my iced tea. I know, so lame of me. But I'm never the drinking person. Glad Sam's workmates get that now, so I can enjoy my iced tea alone.

I decided to check the time in my phone when I got a notification, a memory of some sort that Scarlet send me.

Oh, how I miss my other cousin, Scarlet. Scarlet is in the US enjoying the married life. She's been married for a year and now pregnant with their first child. It's nice to see my beloved cousin getting what she has wanted for so long. She's a successful businesswoman at a very young age. So proud of her.

The message she sent me was as photo of me and One Direction, 5 years ago enjoying an afternoon outside Louis' balcony. And I cannot help but recall that moment and how everything has changed for me that very moment.

5 Years Ago

That coffee invitation from Liam, actually happened just a week after the invite.  It seems they had a 2 day off and he decided to inform me that that coffee invite was happening after all.

We didn't go anywhere in London nor went to an actual coffee shop. He actually brought me to Louis' flat, where Niall and Harry were busy minding their own business.  I was just confused. It's their break but they are still together. Aren't they tired of see each other's faces already?

I didn't let Liam explain why we are here. I totally understand, being outside is just not safe for him or for me because tabloids are still a thing.  I didn't worry that much because this coffee thing is just a one time thing, just to thank me for his phone. Up to this moment, I am still lost, as Harry, why Liam is so attached to this phone.

Liam lead me out of the balcony of Louis' flat, where an out door bar was situated. Coffee is just coffee, I reminded Liam, no alcohol for me.  So at the end, I was the only one having coffee while the four boys where having alcohol at 3 in the afternoon.

Louis, Niall and Harry decided to join Liam and I out. I was glad that I wasn't alone, but at the same time still alone.

"So, mind if we get to know some juicy secrets?" Harry asked directing at no one, but we all know it's directed to Liam and his precious phone.

"Ohkay Harold." Liam said. "You've been bugging me about that since last week. The real reason is because I forgot my Cloud ID so I couldn't retrieve any files if I get a new phone."

I couldn't help but crack up at that. I was laughing so hard because as a fan I know Liam wouldn't make that mistake, ever. So I just laughed and laughed and I didn't even notice that I was the only one laughing at this point. They were all looking at me with smiles on their faces but not laughing.

"What?" I just had to asked. I don't know how for a sudden I felt comfortable being here. Maybe because I've been a fan for so long that them being here with me is not so foreign to me.

"Why are you laughing so hard?" Liam asked confused but still smiling. "Is it that unbelievable?"

"Yup!" I said trying to hold back a laugh as hard as I can.

"Why so?" Niall then asked.

"Okay. I dunno, but this is going to be weird." I said feeling uncomfortable now to tell them anything. "Okay. This forgetting the cloud ID is such a Louis thing that it happening to Liam is so irresponsible of him." I paused to look at their faces. Now they seem to be confused. I decided to continue and really explain it clearly, so that they don't think I'm the weird one. So I did and that cracked them up, even Liam.
