Lacey

“Hey!” I called out to Skye walking into her flat after dodging Niall walking out with two boxes piled high in his arms.

“Oh your here,” she said turning to me and pulling me into a hug. I noticed the way that her hair was falling out of her bun and her eyes were looking wild that she was a tad stressed.

“I think you need to calm down,” I joked with her.

“How can I when these lunatics insist on running around and almost breaking shit,” she glared as Louis flinched and quickly walked past us covering his head.

“Where do you want me?” I asked laughing at her.

“Oh that sounds sexual,” Harry said coming up from behind us and slinging an arm around both of our shoulders. Skye rolled her eyes at him.

“Don’t be immature,” she said poking her tongue at him. He returned it before moving backwards so she couldn’t grab his. I raised my eyebrow at them both.

“You’re both immature,” I laughed. Skye turned back to me smiling sweetly.

“If you want you can come with the girls and I to the house and start unpacking. The boys are going to finish packing the rest and anyway if I spend one more minute with Louis I might just kill him,” Skye said smirking at Louis as he walked back into the lounge room.

“Hey,” he said frowning and looking hurt. Skye laughed and jumped on him making them both fall to the ground.

“Lacey!” Tate called appearing in the doorway with Niall and Zayn. I smiled at her and returned the hug she gave me. I waved at both of the boys trying to avoid eye contact with Zayn.

“Okay let’s grab these boxes and us three can go to the house then,” Skye said standing up from the ground and offering Louis a hand up. I threw my car keys and phone in my bag and pulled it over my shoulder before walking over to a box and picking it up. It was heavy but I was able to handle it.

“What the hell do you have in here?” I asked Skye grumbling as I moved to the door.

“Sex toys!” Harry called out laughing with Zayn and Louis joining in. I squealed in disgust and made my way out of the doorway and towards the elevator. I shifted uncomfortable on the spot as Zayn came to stand next to me.

“Here,” he said reaching for it. I moved out of the way.

“I’ve got it,” I said quietly. He rolled his eyes at me.

“Just let me take it Lacey,” He growled taking two long steps forward and pulling the box out of my hand as the elevator doors opened. He stepped inside.

“Are you coming?” He asked turning to me. I hesitated a moment before quickly stepping in the elevator before the doors shut. I stood there awkwardly looking around as the elevator slowly headed downwards. I heard Zayn chuckle to himself but I refused to acknowledge it.

The doors opened and I walked towards the cars packed with boxes. Zayn headed to Harry’s range rover and I quickly followed and opened the boot for him. He placed the box in with the rest.

“Thanks,” I said quietly. He turned to look at me and smirked.

“Do I get a proper thank you?” He asked smirking largely as I looked at him in confusion. He suddenly leaned forward making my breath catch in my throat as I noticed how close he was to me. His eyes stared into mine for a moment before his gaze flickered down to my lips. He leant forwards more and I closed my eyes in instinct. I could feel his breath on my lips before he released another chuckle.

My eyes flew open and I glared at him, taking a step back.

“Just wanted to know what your reaction would be if I tried to kiss you.” He remarked.

“Tosser,” I scoffed at him and walked around to a side door of the car just as everyone else came outside. Before I could open the door Zayn had already opened it for me. I shot him another glare before climbing in.

“See you soon princess,” He smirked at me as I flipped him off. I sat there and pulled out my phone merely to glare at the screen as Tate and Skye climbed into the front seats.

“Drive carefully,” Harry warned Skye through the window.

“You act like I destroyed the last car,” Skye muttered starting the car up. I assumed they were talking about the car that was in the crash. I saw Harry’s eyes widen in shock as he stared at Skye.

“That’s not funny,” he said to her sternly.

“Sorry honey,” She said back softly before poking her head out the window for a kiss. I glanced away and down to my phone as we started to drive away.

“Are you okay?” Tate asked me glancing back at me. I looked up and nodded, smiling at her.

“You just seem a little angry. You know compared to your happiness upstairs. Did Zayn say something to you?” Skye asked glancing back at me before looking at the road. I widened my eyes worrying about the fact that she took her eyes off the road knowing she wasn’t the safest driver.

“He calls me princess,” I told them honestly not knowing how to tell them that I was actually angry at myself because I couldn’t resist him. I saw Tate and Skye exchange a look before Tate turned back to look at me.

“He gives a lot of people nicknames,” Tate said shrugging, I narrowed my eyes at her.

“He says mine in an unfriendly way,” I further explained making them both laugh before Skye pulled into a driveway next to her car. I gasped as I looked up at the house, it was absolutely adorable.

I climbed out and grabbed a box before heading into the house. Skye gave me a quick tour before we found Danielle and Eleanor in the kitchen.

“HEY!” El said excitedly pulling me into a hug. Dani waved but showed me her hands were dirty from the cooking they were doing.

“What are you guys doing?” Skye asked leaning against the counter.

“Louis called and asked us to make lunch,” El explained going back to helping Dani with the pizza’s.

“Figures,” Skye muttered.

“Hey do you have like furniture and stuff?” I asked her staring around at the practically empty kitchen.

“Umm we have some furniture that Louis and Harry split but everything else we are supposed to be buying tomorrow. So otherwise we only have bedroom furniture and well a few kitchen appliances.” She smiled at me innocently. I laughed at her.

“At least you have a bed,” I reasoned.

“Yeah, Harry will be stoked about that tonight.” El said winking at Skye who went red before bursting out in laughter, all of us soon joined.

My phone buzzed and I glanced down noticing it was a text from Tamzyn wondering what I was doing. I bit my lip before glancing over at Skye and asking if Tamzyn could come. She agreed and I headed outside to call her and tell her the address.

As I talked to her the boys pulled up with more boxes. They each waved at me and headed inside leaving the boxes in the car. As Zayn walked past his hand snaked around and pinched my bum making me yelp into the phone. I glared at his back as he walked inside.

I walked back inside as Zayn shoved a plate full of pizza in front of me. I shot him a confused look before thanking him. He shrugged and headed over to everyone who was seated on the floor in a circle in what I assumed would be the dining area. I sat myself down next to Zayn, with Tate on my either side.

I listened and laughed loudly as I watched the group interact with each other. They were a bunch of hypo immature teenagers at the best of times. What amused me the most however was the way Skye, Danielle, Eleanor and Tate would join in with their games. I had been hanging out with all four girls for almost a year and they were fun but much more mature. As soon as these boys were around though it’s like they lost themselves in what the boys were doing.

I was even surprised by each boy as I couldn’t help but believe in their stereotypes but was constantly proven wrong. Liam surprised me as his stereotype always claimed him to be the most mature but watching him now, he was just as immature as Louis as they constantly pulled faces at each other before they would start wrestling.

The person who surprised me the most though, was Zayn. He was portrayed as mysterious and the bad boy. Sure he looked the part with his tattoos, dark styled hair and clothes but the way he acted with his friends was anything but. He was constantly trying to make Niall laugh, which wasn’t a hard thing to do, but he would tell the worse jokes that would in turn set Niall off who would practically be on the ground gasping for air. He pulled pranks on the other boys and just seemed extremely laid back.

The times I had spent with him didn’t contain much talking and when we did talk he would merely tease and anger me. I think that’s what made me the most uncomfortable around him because even though we had slept together twice now and he knew what buttons to push to anger me. I still barely knew this boy but he had already seen me naked. I guess I just wasn’t used to being that intimate with someone I barely knew.

The doorbell rang snapping me from my trance. The boys all glanced at each other confused.

“Tamzyn,” I quickly explained jumping up as Skye quickly followed behind me. Before I could reach the doorknob Skye jumped in front.

“This is the first time someone’s ringing our doorbell. I want to be the first one to open it,” I laughed at how serious she was before raising my hands in surrender and stepping back. I watched amused as she turned and opened the door smiling at Tamzyn and pulling her into a hug. I soon followed.

“Ready to meet all the boys?” I asked her. She looked at me wide eyed before nodding. I laughed and held onto her hand before we followed Skye back into the dining room.

“Sorry we don’t have any furniture so you have to settle on the floor,” Skye apologised taking her seat next to Harry. I sat back down next to Zayn and pulled Tamzyn between me and Tate.

“Everyone this is my friend Tamzyn,” I said before saying everyone else names. They were all kind to her and said hello before they went straight back to playing their games. I watched Tamzyn as she watched the others wide eyes and slightly scared. I laughed at her, she turned to me and glared.

“So how was class?” She asked me. I shrugged.

“Same old, where were you?” I asked. Tamzyn and I had the same lectures. We had been friends for ten years, meeting at school and we both conveniently wanted to do Psychology and ended getting into college together.

“Mum decided that she needed help with her photo shoot and well who am I to say no to fashion,” Tamzyn said smiling at me guiltily. I laughed at her. “Oh also that reminds me. She’s got those outfits for you if you want to come over and get them tomorrow?”

“Sure,” I agreed before discussing quickly with Tamzyn what we had learned about in class.

“Argh, do we have to learn about Freud, the whole sexual orientation thing just freaks me out,” Tamzyn complained. I laughed.

“I know, but I can kind of see some reasoning behind it. I mean some things he states seem to relate back teenagers.” I reasoned. We noticed everyone went quiet and I turned to look at them all.

“Even though that conversation sounded extremely exciting and just plain fascinating, could we um maybe talk about something else.” Louis said, making fun of us. I rolled my eyes at him.

“No one invited you into the conversation Louis.” Everyone’s faces turned shock before Skye burst out laughing.

“She bites back,” Niall commented making me laugh.

We spent the rest of the afternoon helping Skye and Harry unpack as much as we could before we were all exhausted. Tamzyn had left earlier on.

“Zayn’s going to drive you back to get your car,” Skye told me smiling and pulling me in for a hug. I smiled back at her trying to hide the fact that I really didn’t want Zayn to take me back.

Sighing I followed him out to his car none the less and climbed in. We sat in silence most of the way back. However it wasn’t exactly uncomfortable for some reason. We were just silent. I eventually relaxed into his car and leant my head against the window watching the scenery pass. My eyes closed slightly before Zayn gently shook my awake. I quickly sat up and glanced around to see we were back at his place.

“How tired are you?” Zayn asked as we climbed out of the car. I shot him a confused look.

“You probably shouldn’t be driving home if you’re really tired.” He commented. I shrugged.

“I’m fine,” I said walking over to my car, the moment I reached the door however Zayn’s arms wrapped around my waist and spun me around pushing my back against the car door. My chest was flushed with Zayn’s and I squealed in surprise.

“What are you doing?” I hissed at him, my eyes darting around hoping no one else was around to see. Zayn smirked and leant forward and placed his head above my neck before he began to lightly trace his lips up and down sending shivers through my body.

“Zayn, stop, not out here in public,” I protested weakly trying to push him back.

“I was hoping you might say that,” he grinned, stepping back and grabbing my hand before leading me up to his flat. The whole way I scolded myself for not being able to just say no.
