Hey!! There's a surprise coming in, in this chapter! ;) See if you can guess what it is! ;D
Reece's P.O.V:
'We've got an interview now!' Louis shouts, leaping up.
'Have we?' Zayn asks, lifting his head from my lap.
'Yeah! If we don't get a move on, we'll be late!' Liam says, pulling him up.
'Right. Okay.' Zayn replies, following him.
'What are we gonna do while they're gone?' Abi asks us.
We came back from AppleBee's to see the girls and the rest of the boys. We'll probably go back to our place later.
'Hey! What about we go shopping?' Lana suggests, leaning over the back of the sofa.
'NO!' Abi screams.
'YES!' Rizo yells back.
'NO!'
'YES!' Hannah shouts too.
'NO!'
'YES!'
'NO!'
It's about ten against one. That isn't fair.
'STOP!' I scream at the top of my voice. There's silence.
'Abi, we went with you to find a hidden room...' I point out. She slumps.
'Aw Reece! Don't play that card!' she cries, fainting dramatically onto the sofa.
'What card? We're not playing cards...' Nikki, being Nikki, says confused. I burst out laughing.
'You idiot!' Lana giggles.
'What did I say?' Nikki asks, making me laugh even more. Even Abi is laughing. And she was grumpy two seconds ago.
'Nothing Nikki, nothing. So, we're going shopping. Okay, Abi?'
'Fine.' she grumbles.
We all stand up and put jackets on, just as the boys are about to leave.
'We're off, bye girls!' they leave, after kissing their girlfriends.
'Bye Reece.' Zayn smiles at me before pulling me closer to him and kissing me.
'Ugh. Get a room.' Abi moans. I roll my eyes at her and we all leave.
I pull on my black leather jacket and put my Aviator RayBans on as we walk along the path towards the shopping centre.
'Have we got money?' Hannah asks an obvious question.
'Yeah.' Sam replies.
We start talking about music until we get to our destination.
'Clothes first!' Rizo and Chelsea cry. I always thought they were closer than best friends.
We all trudge behind them slowly.
'I wanna go to the music shop.' I whine.
'After.' Lana says. So Abi and I spend about an hour looking through racks and racks of t-shirts, jeans, skirts, shorts and dresses. Oh joy.
Don't get me wrong, I love clothes. I love shoes too. But I just can't spend two hours looking through the same shop.
As they keep on talking I quietly slip away, tiptoeing out of the shop as if they could hear me.
Which they can't, if you're wondering.
I go to a refreshment stand first.
'What can I get you?' the woman asks me.
'Ooh, I want a slush please!' I say, smiling like an idiot.
'Strawberry or lemon?'
'Erm...Strawberry please.' I reply.
She laughs at me, but in a kind way.
Then she hands me a strawberry slush and a straw. I take a gulp. Mm! I love slushes!
I hand her the money and start walking away. I look in windows before I actually enter a shop.
I enter the first music shop I see, which is called CD World.
I look around for a few minutes before I decide to buy a CD. I pick up one. I gasp. I wanted this CD! Lickety Split. I wanted to get her album a while ago, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
I walk to the desk and see another girl with brown hair, standing there with my album.
I wait behind her. Then she turns around and knocks my hand, luckily not moving my cup of slush.
'Oh, that was close.' I laugh softly, making sure I was fully clean.
'Oops, sorry.' she grins at me.
'That's Okay. Didn't do any harm.' I put the CD on the counter and hand the man the money.
'You like - '
'You like - ' we both start at the same time.
We laugh. 'You first.' I tell her.
'You like Lickety Split?' she asks me.
'Yeah. She's awesome. You like Risk?' I ask her.
'Yes! She's a great singer! And she can play the guitar.'
We both look at each other closely.
'You're Risk!'
'You're Lickety Split!' we both cry in surprise.
'Ssh!'
'Ssh!'
A crowd of girls are staring at us. Uh-oh.
'They know.' I squeak.
'Yeah. What are we gonna do?' she asks me.
'I don't know...' they come closer to us. 'Run!' I yell. We both take our bags of each others CD's and run, pushing past the girls.
We start laughing as we push past loads of people, with the girls following us.
We run and run and run until we're out of breath.
'Where now?' I ask her.
'I don't know!' she laughs.
'Toilets!' I push her into the ladies toilets and slam the door.
'What the hell?'
'It's the best I could think of in a minute of panic.' I explain. She bursts out laughing again.
'What if they find us?' she asks.
I shrug. 'So, maybe we'll wait.'
'Yep!'
'What's your real name?' I question her.
'Emily. Yours?'
'Reece. How old are you?'
'Twenty. You?'
'Aw man! I'm eighteen. Why were you buying my album?'
'Because I like your music. You?'
'Yeah, me too. I like your music.' I reply.
'Have we finished with the questioning yet?' she winks at me.
'Yeah.' I laugh at myself.
'I wanna know about you, if you get what I mean. Not in a stalker-ish way either.'
'No, I understand. I'm the same. Which singers do you know?'
'Justin Bieber, Pixie Lott, Cher Lloyd, The Wanted, One Direction...And a few more I think. You?'
'Pretty much the same.' she makes a face.
'You know One Direction?'
'You know One Direction?' we both ask each other, surprised.
'Yeah.'
'Yes.' we reply at the same time.
'This is getting freaky! Why do we answer at the same time?!' I exclaim.
'I don't know!' she replies.
After a minute's silence, she asks me: 'So what now?'
'Let's go search the area.' I stand up and open the door slightly.
'No go, no go!' I say, slamming it again.
'What? Why?' she asks.
'They're still out there!'
'Damn. I need to go. I've got a meeting!' she yells.
'Whoa! Calm down!' I say. I glance around.
'How thin are you?'
'Huh? What kinda question is that?!'
'Not a stalker one.' I point to the window. It's open and, we might be able to climb through it.
'Okay. Lemme see.' she stands on the sink and puts her leg through. After two minutes she's gone.
'Is it grass or concrete?'
'Neither. It's path.' I roll my eyes. I climb out after her and soon we're standing side by side on the path.
'Well, this is where we go our separate ways.' she says. I nod.
'We'll keep in touch though?'
'Yeah. Sure. I'd like to!'
'Me too!' I grin. I give her my number, then we hug and we both leave, making sure we don't bump into any fans on the way.
I get back to the clothes shop, not expecting my friends to be there.
I see Nikki and run up to her. I make her jump and she screams: 'SMURFS!'
I look at her weirdly. What the heck?
'Sorry! You flipping scared me!' she cries.
'Where have you been anyway?' Abi asks me. 'You left me on my own!'
'I met Lickety Split!'
They crowd around me.
'No way!'
'Yes way!'
'Awesome!'
'Fantastic!' they all squeal, say and shout.
'Ssh! We got chased and we hid in the ladies toilets together.' I laugh.
They stare at me dumbly.
'You dirty-minded things!' I cry, pushing past them.
'Well, how was it?' Lana asks me.
'She was really down to earth. She's two years older than us though.'
'We knew that.' Nikki points out.
'So? And she knows One Direction too.' I smile at them.
'Cool!'
'That's not a coincidence.' Abi shrugs.
'ARE YOU BEING ANNOYING ON PURPOSE?!' I yell at her.
'No! I'm just pointing out a clear fact!' she cries, grinning.
'Well, please don't!' I laugh. We all start laughing for no complete reason and then we leave the shop.
I look around at the crowd of people and lift my hood up and put my sunglasses on as we leave the shopping centre. I'm glad I met Emily. Lickety Split. I can't wait to meet up again!
Anyone recognise Emily (Lickety Split) from MissHoranette's story Louis Tomlinson's Love Story? Go read it, it's great! And sorry, it's not as long as I wanted it to be :( I hope you guys enjoyed it! :D
