FIVE

Harry's POV

Since the moment Niall told us Annie would be joining us to study tonight I started cleaning. If I knew anything, I knew that Annie could not study in a mess. I knew she would start cleaning the moment she saw the mess. She would puff up her cheeks until she found the perfect place to start.

God, I missed that face. Those cheeks, popping them softly.

I shook the thought for my head and kept wiping the kitchen down. Louis walked past me with a broom and rolled his eyes, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Listen, we haven't had a girl over here in forever, let's at least make an impression." I shrugged.

"Blair was here last week!" Liam called out from the bathroom.

"Blair is also....Blair." I laughed and they joined in.

Zayn came out of his room and picked up the last of the trash bags in the kitchen taking them out.

I looked around and smiled to myself as Niall walked through the door, "What in the bloody hell?"

"Haz made us clean for Mary." Louis said finally sitting on the couch.

"What for? Mate you didn't need to do that." Niall said placing his stuff down and walking over to where I was. I opened the fridge and pulled out two beers, handing him one.

"Hey, first girl you bring over, gotta make a good impression. It also smelled just wrong in here." I chuckled, popping open my beer on the counter and taking a quick swig.

"I guess you are right about that. Well, I'm going to hop in the shower really quickly. She should be here in a few minutes if you could just let her in. Louis, it's your turn to order the pizza." Niall said as he made his way to his room.

"On it!" Louis called out.

Mary Ann's POV

I knocked on the door and puffed up my cheeks looking down at the baked goods I made. I heard the door start to open and quickly blew the air out. When I peeked up I saw Harry at the doorway. Our eyes locked for a second and I quickly looked away as he stepped to the side letting me in. I looked around the room and couldn't find Niall.

I heard Harry clear his throat and I turned back to him, "Niall is showering, he'll be out soon. I can take those from you." He said, pointing to the baked goods and I nodded, handing them to him.

I made my way over to the couch and sat next to Louis, "Hey Mary. How do you like our humble abode?"

"It's great, Niall made it sound like a nightmare." I chuckled and Liam snorted coming out of the hall and sitting down.

"It was, but Hazza made us clean before you got here, so now it looks like this." Liam smiled.

"Just heard studying in a clean environment is better that's all." He said and I glanced over at him. I watched as he began putting out the muffins and cookies on two separate plates.

I smiled small, "Well thank you, I've actually heard the same as well." But I knew. I knew he remembered I hated studying in messy environments.

He gave me a half smile before bringing his attention back to what he was doing. I couldn't help but watch him as Liam and Louis decided what kind of pizza to get. He finished putting out all the baked goods and then pushed himself off the counter. His arms were now covered in black ink engravings. Some big some small, I wondered what the all meant.

I was about to look away when I saw him come back, and reach for a sugar cookie. He took a bite and closed his eyes, a small smile on his face. He opened his eyes and grabbed two more before coming over and sitting next to Liam.
