Having just walked Elle back to her dorm I had now arrived at my dorm room, making it back just in time to go with Liam to meet the rest of the guys.

As I unlocked the door I walked into be engulfed with the smell of Liam's usual aftershave and the sounds of Drake blasting through the speakers.

"Hey, I thought you'd be back later" Liam greeted, glancing at me through the mirror as he stood there sorting out his hair.

"I probably would have but Elle is going out with a couple friends tonight" I replied, shutting the door behind before chucking my keys onto my bed.

"So how was it?" Liam asked as I reached to he bottom of my hoodie and pulled it off, over my head.

"Yeah it was nice" I simply smiled before going over to my wardrobe and grabbing out a denim jacket to wear over my white tee.

"Is that it? It was nice?" Liam chuckled, narrowing his eyes at me as he turned around, away from the mirror.

"Yes, it was nice. We just talked and watch netflix" I explained, not understanding what kind of answer Liam was expecting, before grabbing my aftershave and lightly spraying it over me.

"Well do you like her?" Liam asked, raising his eyebrows at me, as a smirk planted itself on his face.

"Yeah I do, I really do" I faintly sighed, my heart almost swelling at the thought of the Elle.

"You think this could be the real thing then?" Liam said, a genuine pleased smile across his lips.

"I hope so" I returned the same smile, feeling giddy yet so terrified at the same time as to how a girl could have this effect of me so quickly.

"Anyway, we should get going. The others are probably already there" Liam then said before grabbing his phone off his bedside table and shoving it into the back pocket of black jeans.

Leaning down I had my arms extended across the pool cue as I aimed to hit the black ball. Pulling the cue back I then let it go forward before hitting the ball and landing it swiftly into the right corner pocket.

"Fuck sake, man. We never get to play pool long because you always shoot the balls too quickly" Liam whined from across the table as he held the pool cue up straight, infront of him.

"You're such a poor loser" I chuckled before passing the cue to Brandon who was going to play against Kyle next.

"You've known that for ten years Shawn, don't act like that's some new information" Liam rolled his eyes, making me laugh out loud as walked over to where Chris was sat on a stool.

"You could still ease up a little bit" I replied before joing Chris and sitting on the stool opposite him, a tall table being in between us.

"As if, you remember when he missed three shots in a row in practice?" Chris rose his eyebrows as I picked my coke with ice off the table and took a sip.

"Remember? He nearly ripped the bloody net off the basket" I laughed before looking over to Liam who was practically playing tug of war with Kyle for the cue, not wanting to give it up.

"Would you girls please just pack it in" Kyle sighed causing Liam to shoot him daggers as he finally let go of the cue stick.

Laughing to myself Liam then walked over to our table before taking a seat on the other stool.
