Chapter 14
••••••••••••••••••••••••
Finally, this painfully long work day has ended and I can leave. I have no idea where the boys are; after that wonderful experience with the chili-pepper flakes, they got lost. I swing open the front door of La Ruche and I do a double-take as a gust of cold air gives me goosebumps. Right - it's the middle of December. Oh my gosh, its already almost Christmastime.
I sprint across the parking lot to my car. It takes me about half a second to hop in and turn the heater all the way up. (haha that made me think of One Direction. All the way. ☺) Am I picking up the guys? I'll text Liam.
I listen to the clicks of my iPhone's keyboard while I type my message:
"Hey, just got off work. Where r u guys?"
He replies almost instantaneously;
"ok, we're here. we'll come to the car"
I'm thoroughly surprised when I hear a knock on the passenger's side window and look over to see a very familiar curly-haired boy with a cheeky grin. I unlock the doors and Niall, Liam, and Louis file into the backseat. Zayn ends up getting shotgun this time, after telling Harry NO HE CANNOT SIT IN THE FRONT JUST TO BE NEAR ANDIE BECAUSE KISSING WHILE DRIVING ISN'T SAFE.
I chuckle and brush off the teasing.
"What did you do all day?" I ask, navigating my car out of the parking lot.
"Nothing." Liam quickly answers.
Silence ensues.
"Okaaay, so you spent six hours after lunch doing nothing..."
"Not exactly, but we didn't do much of anything."
"I find that hard to believe... Especially with Louis Tomlinson..."
More silence.
"We need to check in with security. Would you mind stopping by our hotel?" Liam asks, changing the subject.
...What are they trying to hide from me?!
"Sure. I am hopeless with maps and I have no GPS. I used to say I was directionally challenged before I became obsessed with One Direction." Internal facepalm. I'm talking to One Direction. They all laugh, especially Niall.
"I'll drive back to the hotel, if it's okay with you..." Zayn turns to me.
"Yeah, that's good. We will end up in New Mexico or something if I try to drive somewhere I haven't driven before, I kid you not." I pull over.
"Can you sit back here with us?" Harry, your voice ruins my thought process every time you talk.
"Sure, I guess.... Liam should sit in the front with Zayn. It seems smart to have the two most responsible people up front." I smirk.
Liam and Zayn look flattered. Louis dramatically slaps his hand over his heart and whines, "HURTFUL..."
The car comes to a complete stop on the side of the road and we shuffle around until I'm the only one left outside of the car. There are only three seats in the back, which means only three seatbelts in the back, which means - awkward for me. Louis steps out of the car and motions for me to get in. Harry is patting the space beside him and smiling expectantly. Andie, why did you not think this through...
I get in and sit next to Harry.
"You'll need to scoot over a bit more, Andie. Louis has quite a fat bum." Harry snickers. Niall laughs uncontrollably from my left... Oh, Niall. Silly child.
