The Malik Triplets

Chapter 21: Bonfire

Perrie's P.O.V

As expected, when we arrived home, our friends and family were already inside. They had helped themselves to food and beer or soft drink and were mingling amongst each other. Harry and Liam were outside, trying to stoke up the bonfire, succeeding as the flames began to grow bigger. Seats around the bonfire had been set up and were waiting for us to sit on.

"Girls, how about you go get changed into something warmer? It's getting chilly outside and I don't exactly want you sitting right up against the fire" I explain.

"Sure. We'll be just a minute" Vexi said and they scampered off upstairs and into their rooms.

I wondered into the kitchen and started to help mine and Zayn's mums with setting out the food I had organised before we left. There was a lot, but in my defence there is like five young adult boys, that eat like teenagers, as well as five actual teenagers in the house at the moment. Everyone will eat a lot, even though half of us just went out for dinner, so the amount of food didn't bother me.

Minutes later, the girls emerged from the stairs in comfortable and warm clothing. They all wore leggings with a oversized jumper over the top with different coloured beanies on their heads. They looked warm enough, especially since the temperature had dropped a lot since we first headed to the restaurant.

"Can we help with anything?" Letty asked when they had stopped at the kitchen breakfast counter.

"Nope. We've got it covered, so just go outside and start talking to everyone" I said, jokingly shoving them out the back door.

"Perrie, we're really proud of you and Zayn" my mum said, unraveling the foil from some hot food I had in the oven.

"Yeah we are. I can't believe it though. It seems like you were never gonna find a child and now you have three" Trisha rambled.

"What do you think of them?" I asked, a smile forming it's way across my face.

"They're so lovely and so mature" Trisha smiled.

"And they're beautiful and talented. Gosh Perrie, I'm just so proud of you" my mum repeated and wrapped me in a hug.

"Thanks mum".

"Ok, let's get the food out there before the boys start to get feisty" Trisha laughed.

We took the food out, setting it on the back table. Almost instantly the boys seemed to be at the table and quickly getting some food on their plates. I laughed in responce.

"Thanks Perrie" Louis said and returned to Eleanor.

I noticed Niall wasn't at the table getting food. Zayn came up to me, wrapping me into a sweet hug.

"Where's Niall?" I asked him.

He instantly looked at the table of food. When he noticed Niall wasn't there he began to look around for the Irish lad.

"There" he pointed to him seated with my brother and Kyra by the bonfire.

Niall was handing Kyra a guitar, giving her puppy dog eyes. I think he was trying to get her to play. I had been anxious to hear her after reading her lyrics. We had seen Letty's artworks and Vexi's dramatic side, but we hadn't heard Kyra sing or play yet. We've only read her music. Letty, Vexi and Harry sat on the ground in front of Kyra's feet, encouraging her to play.

I slowly tugged Zayn's attention back to the group that had formed.

"Is she going to play?" Zayn asked with a tone of curiosity.

"Maybe" I hummed.

I watched Kyra's cheeks tint pink as she lifted her hand to strum a few cords.
