"Hey is it okay if a few of my friends come over?" I asked Zayn.

"Of course, you don't even have to ask."

"Thank you!" I gave him a quick kiss and headed back to my room to let my friends know.

Niall, Dom and Luke were coming over. It had been a while since we last hung out together and so I wanted to make up for it. 

I tried to clean my room the best I could before they arrived. You know, like normal people do. Thankfully my room wasn't that disorganized to begin with.

"Hey, baby!" Niall's voice surprised me. Oh, I guess Zayn let them in.

"Hi, Ni," I greeted him and my other friends with a hug.

Dom jumped on my bed. "I'm still so jealous of you for having this," he told me, making me laugh.

"I know, it's amazing. I definitely don't miss my bed at home," I said truthfully. To be honest I really haven't missed home much. I do miss my mum though.

"So...what should we do?" Luke asked.

(Okay but actually what the fuck do guys do when they hang out except for drinking or playing video games?)

"Do you guys wanna play monopoly?" I questioned. I've wanted to play it for a while but Louis refused to. Apparently it always gets too competitive with them.

"Oh I'm so gonna beat your asses," Niall announced.

"It is on," Dom smirked.

"I'm down," Luke also agreed.

"Great!" I went over to the shelf and took the game. We sat down on the floor and they all helped me set it up. As always, I ended up being the banker. 

○●○●○

"Yay I won!" I cheered about two hours later. All the other boys had sour looks on their faces.

"I can't believe you won! It's so unfair!" Ni whined.

"Goddamnit!" Dom threw his cards all over the room. It made me let out a giggle because I knew he wasn't seriously upset. None of them ever were.

Not to brag but I'm quite good at board games. I always win.

"You're so good at this game. How are you so good, princess?" Luke asked me.

"Just luck I guess," I answered with a blush.

"I think you're just brilliant at board games. And everything else," he told me with a smile and played with my hair a bit. It made me blush again.

"Do you also feel like we're interrupting? I totally feel like we are," Dom whispered to Niall very loudly. It made Luke and I look away from each other.

"Of course you weren't interrupting anything," I told my two friends with an innocent but confused smile.

"No, we know baby, we were just teasing you," Dom let me know. I was puzzled. Teasing me about what? I shrugged it off though. My friends often say things I don't understand so I'm pretty much used to it by now.

"Ooh ooh ooh I just got an amazing idea!" I suddenly exclaimed very excitedly and started bouncing up and down while still sitting. I often get very random ideas at completely random times. Sometimes I think I might have ADHD.

"What is it baby?" Niall asked me.

"Let's sing karaoke!" Immediately I heard three loud groans.

"What's so bad about karaoke?" I questioned with a pout.

"Nothing....." Niall trailed off.

"You know what? I'm down!" Luke agreed with me.

"Thank you! What about you guys?"

"Fine..." they said like from one mouth.

"Great!" I got off the floor to get my karaoke machine. Yes, I have a karaoke machine. I got it for my birthday a few years ago.

It was a bit heavy and I totally wasn't about to drop it and Luke definitely didn't save me from it falling on top of me and probably breaking all my bones. 

"Careful, princess, or you'll get hurt," he told me and gently placed the machine on the carpeted floor.

"We wouldn't want to see our little sunshine hurt now would we?" he asked and booped my nose. I, of course, giggled at that.

I looked at my other friends and saw that Niall had a frown on his face. Is he sad? Did I somehow make him sad?

"Come here, Hazza." He opened his arms for me. I went over there and sat on his lap.

I reached over to the karaoke machine and connected it to my phone.

"Any requests?" I asked the boys.

"You can choose," Dom promised. I grinned at the answer, it was exactly what I was hoping to hear.

I picked out my all time favorite song to sing, especially with my friends. It was Take me to church by Hozier.

All three of them obviously recognized the song immediately and smiled widely. It's kind of like our song.

"Take me to church...."

○●○●○

The singing was great. I love singing. I'm seriously considering a career in the music industry, although it would probably be really hard and I most probably wouldn't even make it.

But I'm dating two of the richest men on earth and they could and most definitely would make it happen if I asked. But that would be cheating. And I guess technically we aren't dating since they haven't asked me yet. What if they don't want to ask me? No, they made it clear that they want a relationship.

"Is anyone else hungry?" Niall asked out of the blue. Of course that boy is hungry, he always seems to be thinking of food. Sometimes I truly think that food is his soulmate.

"Let's order some food!" I suggested. Okay, I must admit that I might have been a bit hungry as well.

I took my phone and opened the app. They all told me what they want and I placed the order.

"Oh no, it says that they don't do deliveries. Someone has to go and pick it up."

"I'll do it," Niall volunteered.

"Thank you! It should be ready in about 20 minutes."

"Oh, I better get going then."

Niall's POV

Both Louis and Zayn were sitting in the living room downstairs.

"You two better watch out, Luke was seriously flirting with your boy," I warned them.

"Pardon?" Louis asked. He honestly looked quite scary in that moment.

"He's um flirting with um Harry."

"Oh no he isn't-" Zayn got up and looked like he was gonna storm upstairs and seriously hurt Luke. Lucky for Luke, Louis held him back.

"Don't do anything stupid, love. You know our Harry, he probably doesn't even realize."

"You got that right. He's completely oblivious," I chimed in.

"See? We gotta relax. As mad as we are at that stupid little boy, we can't do anything rash that would make Harry upset at us," Louis tried to reason.

"You're right," Zayn sighed.

"I like you guys. I think you're good for Harry. You better make him your boyfriend soon though before someone gets ahead of you."

"Thank you, Niall. I'm glad he has a friend like you." Zayn smiled.

"I'm glad I have a friend like him. But since I'm such an amazing friend of your future boyfriend can I please borrow one of your cars to go pick up our food? Pretty please?" I attempted to make puppy dog eyes but I probably ended up looking like a dying cow.

The two shared a silent look and then sighed in sync.

"Sure, come with me." Louis motioned for me to follow him. He took me to their garage that accommodates a variety of sports cars. 

Woah, this is so cool. It's literally every guy's dream.

"Can I please take the blue one?!" I asked with excitement.

"It's a bit cold for driving without a roof, don't you think?"

"I guess so." I frowned. I really wanted to drive the blue one.

"You can pick any car with a roof. You do have a license, right?"

"Of course I do."

"Great. I will never forgive you if you hurt one of our babies," he warned me completely seriously. Oh God please don't let me crash, I still value my life.

"I'll take that one," I pointed to one of the white ones.

"Oh thank goodness. That's one of Zayn's cars." Louis let out a relieved breath. Now that's offensive. How bad of a driver does he think I am? I've only gotten into one accident! Okay,  nevermind.

He gave me the keys and made me promise not to hurt it. I did so with a roll of my eyes and was on my merry way.

The drive was unfortunately quite short. I was definitely enjoying driving the car. I mean who wouldn't like driving a car that cost more than their whole life?

Inside the restaurant I noticed a person I recognized. Liam Payne. He was sitting at a table alone. In that moment he looked up and we made eye contact.

As I was walking past his table he stopped me by grabbing my arm.

"Hey, Niall!" he greeted me. Oh. My. God. Liam freaking Payne remembers my name. I can die a happy man now.

"Hello, Liam." I hope I sounded cool on the outside. Inside I was freaking the fuck out.

"Would you like to sit with me?"

Oh you cruel, cruel fate. Why do you have to do this to me?

"I wouldn't love anything more than to do just that, but I'm only here for pick up." It physically hurt to say those words.

"Are you free tomorrow evening?" he asked with the same welcoming smile that had been gracing his face the entire time. Holy shit.

"Are you asking me on a date right now?" I asked, completely flabbergasted.

"Yes, I am. Only if you want it to be a date though. We can go out just as friends if that's what you wish."

"It's a date then."

"Great! How about you give me your number so I could text you the details?"

"Sure, give me your phone."

He unlocked it and handed it to me. I put in my number and, of course, added a bunch of emojis behind my name.

He let out an extremely attractive chuckle when he saw the contact. Fuck, can this man get any hotter?

"I'll see you tomorrow then, Niall."

"See you tomorrow, Liam." I gave him a short wave and walked up to the counter. They gave me my food and then I left. On my way out I said another bye to Liam.

Once I got back, the boys were watching something in the living room. I quickly joined them on the couch and placed all the food on the table in front of us.

Harry's POV

"Oh, this is delicious," I moaned out. The food was truly heavenly.

"If I could marry this food I would," Dom said with his mouth full.

"God I was so hungry." This was Niall. Obviously.

"This is so fucking good," Luke also joined us.

And then the moment was ruined by my phone ringing. I was sad about stopping eating for even a second until I saw who it was. It was my mum. It had been at least a week 'since we had last spoken and I was really missing her.

"I need to take this," I told my friends and left the room. I walked into the kitchen and sat down.

H: Hi, mummy!

A: Hi, my baby! How are you!

H: I'm really good! But how are you and Nana doing?

A: Everything's great. She's getting the cast taken off in two weeks. After that I'll stay for an extra week, just until she can walk again.

H: That's really good. I miss you a lot.

A: Oh I miss you too. So much. How are Zayn and Louis?

H: They're great too. I love living with them.

A: I'm so happy about that. You know, at first I was hesitant to ask them but now I'm so glad I did.

H: I'm so glad you did too.

At that moment I really wanted to tell her that I loved them. But that's not something I can say over the phone and especially since I haven't even told the people in question.

A: Baby, I have to go now. I'll call you again tomorrow, alright?

H: Okay mummy, bye!

I hung up the phone and went back where all my friends were waiting.

"Who was that?" Luke asked.

"It was my mum."

"Is your granny okay?" Dom asked.

"Yup, she's getting the cast taken off in two weeks."

"Is she coming back then?" Luke asked with what sounded like a hopeful tone. I wonder what that was about.

"She's staying for another week after that but then she'll be home."

"That's great!" He seemed very excited about that.

"I know right? I've missed her so much."

Before anyone else could speak Louis entered the room.

"Hey, darling. I have a meeting with my manager so I need to leave. If you need anything then get Zayn. He's in his art room," he let me know.

"Okay, bye!" He walked up to me and kissed me in front of all my friends. It was a short and sweet kiss but still managed to wake up a whole zoo of butterflies in my stomach.

He left after that. I looked at my friends with an embarrassed blush. They all had different reactions. Dom was smirking, Niall was grinning and I think Luke looked a bit sad. Maybe his tummy was hurting from all the food.

"That was so adorable!" Ni gushed. The compliment definitely didn't help me with my blushing situation.

"Okay, now the reason we all actually came here. You have got to tell us about your date," Niall commanded.

"Alright. It was perfect in its own way," I started off.

"Hey guys? I have to leave," Luke suddenly announced.

"Oh no," I pouted. "I guess we'll see you tomorrow in school."

He gave me a hug, waved at the others and then left. I was sad he had to leave early but didn't let it bother me and just continued to tell them about our date.

"We made dinner together. Well technically Zayn and I made dinner while Louis just sat there but it was still fun. And Louis and I may or may not have kind of burnt that said dinner? We were um distracted and the food caught on fire! Luckily Zayn put the fire out. After that we ordered pizza and talked for the whole evening."

"So you two were distracted, huh? What were you doing?" Niall asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. That little bugger.

"Weweremakingout," I said as quickly as I could.

"What was that? Maybe try speaking a lot slower this time," Dom asked.

"We were making out." I answered with my cheeks as red as ever.

"There you go, that wasn't so hard, now was it?" Niall teased me. He's a meanie.

"Are you guys picking on my baby?" Zayn's voice came from the doorway. I didn't even hear him walk here.

"Yes, they are!"

"Oh you poor little thing." He rubbed my cheek and gave me a kiss.

"Did you finish your painting?" I asked him. He's been working on that thing for weeks.

"Not quite yet. I feel like it's missing something but I can't figure out what."

"Can I take a look at it?" I asked. I was pretty sure I couldn't help but I really wanted to see it.

"Oh sure, why not?"

"Can we also see it?" Niall asked excitedly.

"Sure. Follow me," he instructed. The three of us walked after him like little ducklings.

The painting looked magnificent. It was a beautiful green forest with birds and everything. It looked truly great.

"Wow."
"Woah," Dom and Niall said at the same time.

"It's amazing, Zee," I told him.

"Thank you, all of you."

"You should totally paint a deer. It would look so cute. Ooh and a bunny too!"

"You know what? That's actually a great idea. Thank you, sweetheart." He rewarded me with another kiss. I love his kissies.

○●○●○

"The craziest thing happened at the restaurant earlier," Niall stated.

"What happened?"

"Liam was there. And he asked me on a date. Me. Liam fucking Payne asked me on a date tomorrow night. Can you believe that?"

"That's amazing Ni! I'm so happy for you!"

"That's great mate."

"Gosh I'm so excited. I can't believe my first date will be with someone famous."

"That's gonna be your first date?" I was surprised. He always gives a lot of relationship advice, and I don't know, he's just so confident and obviously attractive so it's surprising.

"Uh yeah. There's not a lot of gay boys out of the closet in high school."

That's true I guess. I think it's sad that so many people have to be afraid to be themselves.

"Oh no, my mum just texted me and I gotta go. This was a lot of fun, we should do it again soon."

"Yes, definitely!" I agreed. I really enjoy hanging out with my friends. 

"I guess I should go too," Dominic said.

"Oh, alright. See you tomorrow!" They also said their byes and left. I decided to go back to the art room to hang out with Zayn.

I plopped down on the armchair there and watched him work.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Nothing. My friends left so I'm bored."

"I'll finish this in a minute and then we can go do something, alright?"

"Okie!"

True to his word he did finish his painting in a few minutes. He showed it to me and it looked even better now. He painted a bunny and a deer booping their noses together and it looked adorable.

"Aww it's so cute! I love it."

"Thanks, baby. What do you say we go get ice cream now?"

"Oh my god, yes please!"

○●○●○

"Woah this place is fancy," I commented. Louis and Zayn decided to take me out for dinner that night.

"I guess it is. Is that okay?" Zayn asked.

"Oh yeah, sure."

"So....did anything interesting happen today?" Louis asked.

"I finished the painting. Our baby gave me a great idea that just tied it together."

"Oh that's nice." Lou smiled.

"You won't believe what happened! Liam asked Niall out!"

"Really? Good for them."

"Do you even know what this means?" I asked them.

"Obviously not. What does it mean, darling?"

"We can start going on double dates!"

"Oh...yay," Louis said sarcastically.

"Why don't you like double dates?" I asked with a pout.

"Have you ever been on one? They're so awkward," Lou explained his dislike.

"I haven't, no. Before you guys I had never been on a date before."

"Well you definitely need to experience it at least once so if their date goes fine and they want to keep seeing each other then we can definitely ask them on a double date."

A huge smile broke out on my face. "Thank you thank you thank youuu!"

"Of course, love, whatever makes you happy."

"My mum also called today. She said that she's coming home in three weeks! Isn't that great?"

"Oh, sure. But that also means that you wouldn't be living with us anymore and I'd miss my little baby," Zayn pointed out. I didn't even think about that. Now I'm sad.

"And she probably wouldn't be happy about our relationship."

"Why wouldn't she be?"

"Well, for several reasons really. We're older than you, already married and she trusted us to take care of you."

Okay, fair point.

"But I love you and I'm sure she'd be hap-" Oh no. That just slipped out.

"Oh no I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that."

"You didn't?" Louis raised his eyebrows.

"Well I did but-"

"No buts, darling. Just calm down. I love you."

"I love you, sweetheart."

Oh. Oh. They do? And just like that, a thunderstorm of butterflies erupted in my stomach.

"God I love you both so much," I told them sincerely.

"Will you be our boyfriend?" Louis asked me in a hopeful tone.

"Oh my god, yes! Definitely!"

Is this what pure heaven feels like? Cause I think I've found my heaven on earth.
