"Ok guys, I'm giving you 20 minute to find everything you need and get back to the front to pay and leave" Liam says, glancing at his watch. "I want to be out of here before people realize we're here and get swarmed" he adds, sounding very much like a general. A giggle escapes my lips, as I think of him in army uniform, ordering a bunch of troops around. Instead of Daddy Direction it should be General Payne. Liam glances at me, raising an eyebrow and I immediately put on a solemn expression and nod in understanding.
"Ohhh now you're in for it. You made Daddy Direction mad" Niall breathes into my ear. I grin, sticking my tongue out at him, nudging him slightly. He chuckles under his breath, slipping his hand into mine.
"Ok go" Liam says and the other boys dart off in pairs, Harry and Louis, Zayn and Liam, and then Niall and I, shopping carts at the ready.
"Quick, grab everything!" I call to Niall as I start grabbing boxes off the shelf. Liam made a horrible mistake letting the two of us pair off on a grocery store trip. Niall grins, running back to the cart, and dumping an armful of crisps into the cart. We pause for a split second, smiling widely at each other before snapping back into action, grabbing pretty much anything we could get our hands on.
"Times up boys" Liam shouts, the store echoing with his voice. I grab one more box, tossing it on top of the pile as Niall and I head back to the front, his arms loaded with more food. As soon as the boys see us, Harry and Louis are bent over laughing. Zayn stands there chuckling to himself shaking his head and Liam is just shaking his head.
"No" he says instantly. "No way. Go put it back."
"But Liam" Niall whines.
"I said no. Do you see how much the rest of us have?" he asks motioning to him and the other boys, who all put together probably had half what Niall and I had collected. "What are you even planning on doing with pickled eggs?" he asks picking up a jar from our cart.
"I dunno" Niall says sullenly, shrugging his shoulders.
"Aww c'mon Liam" I plead.
"Cat you're not even living with us, why do you need all this food?" he asks. I shrug slightly looking down.
"I dunno.. I get hungry when I come visit" I say earning a chuckle from the other boys. Even Liam's mouth quirks up in a quick smile before being serious again.
"And this is why she's Niall's girlfriend" Louis chimes in. I smile up at Niall who looks down at me over the pile of food in his arms, returning my smile. Liam glances down at his watch with a sigh, running his hand through his hair. He looks back at the amount of food we have and I can tell he's debating on whether the time it takes to put it all back is worth it.
"Ok, come on" he finally relents.
"Yay!!" I cheer, pushing the cart forward to the checkout line as Niall dumps the things he's carrying into Harry's cart. He comes up behind me pushing the cart so I'm trapped between him and the cart.
"You're the best shopping buddy ever. I never get away with this" Niall says with a grin.
"We make a great team" I reply smiling up at him.
"The best" he replies, pecking my lips.
