*LOUIS'S P.O.V*

"Let’s go boys!" Paul ordered from outside the dressing room. We had just finished our photo shoot for our Take Me Home album.

I shot out the dressing room and raced out of the plain building and into the sleek black car that was waiting for us. I situated myself into the leather seat and patiently waited for the lads. The darkness inside the car was soon enveloped by the bright light of the sun’s rays when Paul opened the door.

"About time. I’ve got places to be. People to see!" I complained dramatically.

"The only friends you have are us and the girls." Niall remarked, sliding next to me.

"Touché."

As soon as everyone gathered into the car we made our short trip home - or Harrys home to be exact.

When we pulled out the driveway, we were a bit surprised to see Jaz sitting expectantly on the front porch. Once she spotted us, she skipped toward us.

"Okay, Louis. I must warn you. Addie and I felt a little bad about what I did last night so Addie baked you a cake. I tried to help, I really did. But Addie’s a scary girl." She began to explain to me. She baked me a cake? How sweet! Maybe I should let them prank me more often...

"Now, don’t expect any of those fancy cakes you guys buy. Let’s just say Addie’s not the best. So act like you love it okay?" She asked hopefully. The lads and I would never disrespect someone like that. We informed Jaz we would never let her down and we would fake it if we had too but we knew we would love it.

She shrugged her shoulders in response.

"Well, we will be over in a few. Act surprised!" She shouted at us while jogging back towards her house.

"Yes! We get cake!" Niall cheered while galloping into the house.

We all followed behind in cheerful moods. Those girls were too sweet. We’ve known them for a couple of days and they are already so close to us.

"SUPERMAN!" I yelled, jumping on the couch and landing on my stomach.

A millisecond later, Niall was on top of me followed by Liam then Harry and then Zayn topping us off like a cherry on a sundae.

My lungs constricted inside me and my breaths became shallow.
I tapped my hands on the couch signaling I was about to die.

After a few more seconds, they eventually toppled onto the ground leaving me breathing for fresh air.

"Air! At last! Lay off the chips lads!" I scolded them, breathing heavily. In response they laughed at me. I was about to commence into a stern scolding on why they should not laugh at the Tommo when short, rapid knocks cut me off.

"Cake!" Niall whisper-shouted, sprinting for the door.

"It’s mine!" I yelled, racing after him.

Instead of Niall opening the door it was Mrs. Anne who did the pleasure.

"Ello! You must be the two beauties the lads have mentioned!" Anne greeted them. Addie and Jaz seemed pleasantly surprised to see Harrys mum.

"You're a Rodriguez, eh?" Anne asked Jaz with a smile.

"Yes ma'am, I am." Jaz grinned.

"Your father is a wonderful man! Come, come! I see you’ve baked a cake! How thoughtful!" She exclaimed, leading the girls into the dining room.

The lads and I followed quietly.

"Shame I can’t stay! Save me some cake, okay Hazza?" Anne remarked after setting down the cake. She then proceeded to embrace all of us, including the girls, into a comforting hug and kiss on the check.

"They seem sweet." She winked at us before strolling out the door.

"Aw! Your mom’s sweet, Hazza!" Jaz cooed.

Harry rolled his eyes in response.

"Louis, I just wanted to apologize for pushing you into the water and making a complete fool out of yourself." Jaz began before Addie’s elbow jabbed into her side. With a groan, Jaz collected herself.

"I meant for making a complete out if myself. Therefore, we baked you a cake. Actually, Addie did. Hence the reason it’s pretty hideous." With that another jab was inserted into her side.

"I accept your apology." I said matter-of-factly with a curt nod.

"Cake time?" Niall spoke up, his eyes sparkling. I didn’t know if it was because of the cake or Jaz.

"Heck yeah!" Jaz high-fived him.

"You can do the honors." Addie informed me, handing me a rather large plastic knife.

I grabbed it out of her petite hands and approached the cake which was covered in a cardboard box.

"Reveal yourself to me." Jaz whispered in a dark voice while slowly lifting the cover.

The cake was awful. It seemed to have one huge air bubble in the middle and it was lopsided. It was concaved like a bowl upside down. The blue icing was slathered messily across the vanilla cake. In sloppy, yellow icing was the word "sorry". I couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. I also couldn’t help but to admire the thought they put into it, or mostly Addie.

"Cut right in the middle." Addie informed me with a huge grin spreading across her lips.

I smiled as I brought the knife down. As soon as the knife sliced into the soft, moist cake, a deafening noise blasted through the quiet house.
