All's Fair in Love and One Direction

15: All's Fair in Truths & Surprises

Chapter 15

"So," Liam says, flopping down on the sofa. "Since we're pretty much under house arrest, and it's only eight ... What do you want to do?"

"Movie?" Louis suggests.

"Too much sitting," Zayn says, crossing his eyes at Louis.

"Nando's?" offers Niall.

"We're in the States, Nialler," Liam reminds him. "No Nando's."

Niall looks depressed. "Pizza, then?"

"Sure." Liam reaches for the phone.

Louis snaps his fingers. "Hide and Seek!"

"Teams!!" shouts Harry.

"Dibs on Andie!!" Louis screams before anyone else can.

((A/N: KATIE TROLL. Silly Maria. So silly.))

"Boobear ..." Harry looks like he's about to cry.

"Aww, Haz, you can be with Niall!" Louis tells him, patting his shoulder comfortingly. I guess that leaves Liam with Zayn. This should be an interesting game.

" - three large pizzas, one pepperoni, one ham and pineapple, and one cheese," Liam is saying. Louis sneaks up behind him with an evil glint in his eye. "Hotel Mauve, 119 West Taylor Str - HEY!!" as Louis snatches the phone from his hand.

"SAVE MEEEEE!!!!" Louis screeches into the phone. "THE SPOONS, THE SPOONS!!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!" He swats Liam's hand away, "OOOOOHHH, YOU ONLY WANT MEEE WHEN IM BACONNNNN," he sings out. Probably sensing that the pizza guy is about to hang up, Louis surrenders the phone back to Liam amid hysterical laughter.

"Sorry about that," Liam says. "What? No, that wasn't me - it was my ... little brother." He glares at Louis, who cracks up laughing.

"Yes...yes....no....yes, Hotel Mauve, Suite 15-1. Thank you." He hangs up and shoots daggers at Louis, who is still clutching his stomach with laughter. I can't even breathe, I'm laughing so hard.

"I'm going to get you later," Liam tells Louis. Louis just nods, still convulsed with laughter.

"Okay ... Me and Hazza are seeking, three-two-one-GO!!" shouts Niall out of nowhere. "THIRTY!!! TWENTY NINE!!! TWENTY EIGHT!!"

Three-fourths of the room jumps frantically into action.

"Come on Andie!!" Louis grabs my hand and runs to the next room, dragging me behind him. "Where can we go?"

"You know this place better than I do!"

I can hear Harry in the other room screaming, "TWENTY SIX!! TWENTY FIVE!! TWENTY FOUR!!!"

Louis looks panicked. Good grief, it's just a game Louis! "Umm..."

"Bedroom!" I tell him. "Come on!"

The countdown is at nineteen when we reach the left bedroom and see Zayn and Niall already trying to cram themselves under the beds. "Find your own hiding spot!" Zayn yells at us. We dash out and reach the right bedroom as Harry screams "FIFTEEN!!"

"Under the beds?" Louis asks.

I shake my head. "First place they'll look. Umm ..."

"TEN!!! NINE!!"

I look around frantically, caught up in the adrenaline. I scan the room and spot the closet. Its a moderately large walk-in, nothing special, with a shelf just above head level ...

"Shelf!" I point. Luckily Louis understands. He lifts me up and I scramble onto the shelf and lay down flat. He pulls himself up and lays down next to me just as Harry yells, "TWO, ONE!!!"
