Chapter 20

*Liams POV*


"So, today's your last full day here..." After the Niall incident, we were just sitting on the bed talking, just as we did last night. "Yeah... Cat's really upset. I had like 17 texts and 3 missed calls when I checked my phone this morning." I raised my eyebrows.


"Trust me, that's a lot, even for Cat. The first ones were asking me where I was and had I been kidnapped and was I still alive, that's what the first 2 calls were about too. Then I got the texts about her stressing over this being our last day. I just texted her and said it wasn't our last day, and that it's tomorrow, and she calmed down."


I will miss little Cat Valentine. Her mood swings and bubbly, innocent personality make it impossible not to become attached to her. "Well, we know how she is. She just adds a bit of fun to things, although can go a bit over the top sometimes..." I smiled.


Jade laughed. "You're telling me! I've been friends with the girl for nearly 7 years!" We both started laughing and it was just... Perfect.


"Hey, I need to go find the guys, why don't you get dressed and stuff?"


"Do you not like me being in your clothes?" She teased me. I knew she was joking, but I still felt the need to give a reason. "I-I do, I just don't think they're suitable for breakfast." Jade just smiled and I realized what I'd said.


"Oh, and I'm keeping this by the way." Referring to my t-shirt. I guess the old Jade wasn't completely gone. I know some guys hate when girls steal their clothes, but if it's only like one thing very rarely then I actually kind of like it. She looked better in it than I did anyway. Since I'd slept in sweatpants and a t-shirt, I just grabbed my key and walked out of my room. I was headed for Zayn and Niall's room, which was just a few doors down from us across the hall. I knocked. No answer. I should have just called them instead of guessing where they were. They could have been in breakfast for all I knew. I reached the lift and went to the next floor up. I tried the door handle. You see, Louis and Harry's rule is if the door is locked, go away, but if it's unlocked then all are welcome.


The door opened and I could hear what the boys were saying. I closed the door a little so they wouldn't notice.


"-And when I walked in, there they were. They really should have the same rule as you guys Lou. I mean seriously, not a sight I'd like to be greeted with in the morning. Oh, and she was in his clothes as well, and he had his hands on her waist." They all looked so shocked and sincere that I couldn't help it. I started to laugh and couldn't stop, so I had no choice but to go in.


As soon as they saw me, everyone's faces changed. Niall was awkward, Harry was smirking as if he knew it would happen, Zayn looked like he wanted to give me a medal and Louis seemed to be upset.


"Why are you guys just looking at me like that?"


*Louis' POV*


"Are you serious? You seem confused. I don't think you should be. We're the ones who were told that you and Jade got down and dirty this morning." I'm only upset because he didn't tell us. It has nothing to do with Jade. Obviously.


"Calm down Lou. Do you mean did Jade and I sleep together this morning?" I made a 'well yeah, duh,' face at him. "Then yes, we did. Last night too." Everyone exploded at the same time. Niall was yelling that it was too much information, Zayn was telling Liam how awesome he was, Harry was laughing at Niall and I just sat there, stunned. I hadn't expected him to be so open about it. I mean this is Liam we're talking about. Calm and sensitive. He's never been so-


"But that's all we did. Just sleeping, nothing else." Everyone went quiet. Zayn was the first one to speak.


"So, if you and Jade didn't have sex this morning, then what did Niall see?"


"Well for a start, the one correct thing that Niall saw was that Jade was dressed in only my t-shirt, but what he couldn't see was that Jade's underwear was exactly where it was supposed to be. I know this because I was the one who took off her dress and put on the shirt."


That lucky man. "But- What- How...?" I stammered out. He started to explain what happened last night, about her falling asleep while they were talking and him not wanting her to be uncomfortable. Harry spoke up. "But Li, you still haven't explained what Niall saw this morning. He said it looked like she was... Well... Riding you." He went all quiet and awkward at the end, even though I know that Harry has a sex life to end all sex lives. I guess it was the Jade factor. Even if we didn't want to date her, we all agreed she was really hot.


We all looked at Liam, who'd gone a light shade of red. Even if he had a perfectly innocent reason, that was enough to make anyone embarrassed.


"I guess it must have looked like that, but I promise you that wasn't what was happening. We were wrestling. I underestimated her and dropped my guard and she flipped us over. Jade stupidly left my hands free and I started tickling her. She put her hands over mine to stop me. That's what you saw. I understand that if that was happening you wouldn't want to look any longer than necessary, but if you had, you would have seen Jade was straddling my stomach, not my hips."


We all turned to look at Niall, who just held his hands up in surrender. "I also have some more news."


"Is this confirmed?" I asked. "You're not just going on something you saw?" Niall gave a sheepish smile. "No, this one I'm very sure of." We all looked at him expectantly. "Last night I asked Cat to be my girlfriend, and she said yes."


"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my effing god! I can't believe it that's so awesome! I can't breathe, hold me." I flung myself into a surprised Harry's arms. Everyone was looking at me like I had two heads. I don't, but if I did, lucky them. I'm gorgeous.


I stood up straight again and fixed my hair. "What? Can I not let out my inner fangirl? She needs to be released once in a while you know. How would you like being hidden away for weeks at a time?"


Everyone shook their head at me. I looked at Niall, and he looked back at me. He wasn't happy. I could tell. "Hey Ni, what's wrong? An amazing girl just agreed to be your girlfriend and you look like your dog just died."


"Cat's leaving tomorrow afternoon."


"Jade is too. We have the worst timing." They both gave little sad smiles.


Harry butted in. "Well I beat you all. The girl I like has a famous boyfriend who was a complete arse to me when I met him."


"Well actually, Zayn and I have had no love interest on this holiday, so we beat you all." I clicked my fingers in a Z formation making everyone smile. "And Harry, he was probably an arse because you said that you like his girlfriend."


"So we've established we need to make today and tomorrow morning extra special for Cat and Jade." Everyone nodded at me and we got thinking.
