Beautiful Mistake
Four
The two friends were finally able to relax now that they officially bought their own flat and weren't living on the streets of London. It's a huge step from living in America with your parents. This new lifestyle could be difficult but they both prayed that they wouldn't have to move back home.
“You have one more fucking suitcase to unpack.” Felicia stated to Alexis who was laying on the floor whining about how tired she was and how she just wanted to lay down in her bed.
“Why can't you just do it for me?” Alexis groaned, rolling onto her stomach, reaching for the Doritos as she continued to scroll through her Twitter feed. The sound of One Direction's album faintly played from the other room.
“Because I have my own shit to unpack, plus you've been laying on the ground for the last 20 minutes on your phone.” Felicia shot back as she folded jeans and put them into a drawer.
“I need to do my research on when and where we can find One Direction. You can't just trust anyone on Twitter, and of course we would never get lucky enough to bump into them on the streets. Or a coffee shop like they always seem to do in fanfics.” Alexis commented, weeding out the phony accounts. She had to find the most reliable sources on Twitter that know One Direction's whereabouts.
“Did you find any good ones that know what they're talking about?” Felicia finished filling her drawer before joining her lazy friend on the ground.
“Na duh. Most of them are ones that have no clue what they're talking about and others update after they've left.” Lexi huffed, setting down her phone. “I give up for tonight. Just leave me here to lay with my Peri Peri cashews.” She clung to the bag of cashews, slipping a few into her mouth. Felicia rested her head on her friends behind as her eyes became heavy.
“Your butt makes the perfect pillow. Whatever you do, just don't fart.” Felicia warned as she slowly started to drift off to a peaceful sleep.
“Don't forget we're going to the London Eye tomorrow.” Alexis grumbled, wiggling her butt around to make sure Felicia had heard her. Her friend just groaned in return.
“Lexi, please tell me you have our fucking tickets for the London Eye. I put you in charge of them back in the States and if we don't fucking have them, UGH. If we had to walk all the way over here for nothing, your ass is grass.” Felicia said frantically, searching for the girls' tickets in her purse. Alexis smacked Felicia with her London guide book, moving behind her friend, lifting the back of her shirt and pulling the tickets that stuck out of her back pocket.
“Did you forget you shoved them in your back pocket when you rushed me out of the flat to go eat?” Alexis rolled her eyes at the forgetful dark haired girl who slightly blushed with embarrassment.
“Okay so I forgot. Big deal!” Felicia shrugged, shaking her head as the two made their way to the London Eye queue that had only a handful of people. They noticed a family trotting quickly behind them to get onto the London eye. The two moved aside letting them go and got right back in line.
The line moved as families boarded. “We might get a capsule to ourselves.” Alexis whispered to her friend who was too focused on a huge crowd 100 feet away.
“What do you think's going on over there?” Felicia asked, not taking her eyes away from the scene, hoping to get a glimpse through the crowd for different aged girls and guys. Alexis cringed at the loud shrieks, shrugging her shoulders as they moved up in the line, “Does it really matter? They're giving me a headache.” The next capsule came around and the girls were thankfully the only two in the line. They handed over their tickets and skipped arm in arm onto the glass inclosed oval. Before they knew it they were shoved onto the ground with a loud thud. The doors closed behind them as they heard figures around them panting heavily.
“Who's the asshole that fucking pushed us on the ground?” Alexis exclaimed, pushing herself onto her hands and knees. Felicia mimicked her friends actions, “Yeah, who's the fucking asshole!”
“Oh my god we are so sorry! We were being chased by-” one boy with a familiar voice and accent spoke before getting cut off by another. “A pack of wild billy goats!”
“They have those here?” Felicia questioned Alexis quietly enough so only she could hear. The figures around them rush to the girls' sides helping them off the ground.
“We truly apologize if we've injured you in any way.” the first boy spoke again. Once the girls were steady on their feet they brushed themselves off and stepped away from the group they haven't had the chance to check out. As their eyes made their way up the figures, they made out they were five guys dressed casually in jeans and t-shirts. Their eyes locked in on the boys faces and they froze in complete and utter shock. There stood One Direction right in front of the girls that dreamed of having sex with them. Felicia clenched onto Alexis' arm as if she had just seen a ghost.
“Nice shirts.” Harry grinned, nodding in the girls direction. Both looked down and their faces simultaneously shifted to a dark shade of pink. Felicia pulled at the bottom of her shirt, “Oh these old things? Everything else was filthy so we had to resort to these.” she replied sarcastically, waving her hand in Harry's direction. Zayn's eye roamed to Felicia's feet with a smile forming on his face without broadcasting them to the others, if they hadn't already noticed. Louis smirked at Felicia's sassy reply, “What's your name, babe?”
“Felicia.” she answered, holding out her hand for Louis to shake. He snickered, grabbing her hand and pulling her into a hug. “I'm a hugger, not a shaker.” She embraced his hug, taking in his scent and warmth. She went down the line hugging each of the guys as they introduced themselves, as if she didn't already know.
“And you, love?” Harry directed to the other girl who looked like she had seen a ghost. Alexis froze in her place unable to move or speak. It was apparent that she was the shy one out of the girls. With One Direction standing in front of her, how could you blame her? Felicia came up behind her lightly pushing her towards the boys waiting on an answer.
“Alexis. I'm Alexis.” she managed to get out with Louis quickly pulling her into a hug. “Are we really that scary? Is it our stench?” Niall asked as she went in to hug him next. Lexi quickly shook her head, blushing “Not at all. I'm just a shy person.” She continued down the line before making her way back over to Felicia.
“So are you girls on holiday?” Liam asked to start some sort of conversation for this 30 minute ride. “We actually just-” Felicia was shortly cut off by Alexis' loud ringtone.
♪♫ I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin', now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'. I want you back, I want you back, wa- want you, want you back. ♪♫
Both girls turned to each other instantly and spoke in unison in their best english accent. “Do I sound like a helicopter? Bbbbbrrrrrrr” Niall joined in from the sideline, the rest of the guys laughing at them. Spit hitting each girls' faces as they laughed before hitting the answer key and putting the phone on speaker.
“Hi mommy!” Alexis chirped happily into the speaker, Felicia chiming in behind her. “Hi girls! What are you two doing? Are you having fun?” her mom asked.
“Yeah we just had Nandos for the first time and now we're on the London Eye.” the excited girl bragged to her mother.
“Oh fun. I won't keep you long, just wanted to check in and see if everything was running smoothly and you're both alive.”
“Ow!” “Stop it you two.” “Get your hands off of him Haz.” “No he pushed me first.” “Have a little respect, lads.” All five guys began to argue. Felicia and Alexis quickly turned to see what all the commotion was about, only to see Harry holding Zayn in a headlock while Liam tried getting between them to break it up. Niall and Louis stood to the side of them watching the whole thing in amusement. Felicia strutted over to Zayn and Harry, smacking them both on the top of their heads. “Ouch!” they both exclaimed, letting go of each other to rub their sore heads.
“What on earth was that? Are you guys being mugged?” Alexis' mom asked frantically. “I'll get on the next plane out if I have to!” The car keys already in her hand.
“No ma, it's just a couple of hooligans stuck on the London Eye with us.” Lexi quickly answered with a smirk at the mention of hooligans.
"And by hooligans, she means assholes," Felicia replied with a chuckle while walking back over to Alexis' side.
"Hey we are not assholes." "Hooligans? Who uses that word anymore?" "Guys, will you shut up can't you see they're trying to talk on the phone?" The guys began to argue yet again, causing Felicia to have to smack them all once more.
"Okay mom I really have to go before Felicia does something stupid or illegal to these boys. I talk to you later, ok? Love you!" Alexis said before getting off of the phone with her mother and practically dragging Felicia away from the boys before she could hurt them.
"Oh, illegal huh?" Harry replied with a cheeky smirk. Zayn nudged Harry in the ribs causing him to put Zayn in another playful headlock. Liam was at their side once more breaking them up. Niall laughed at the girls annoyed expressions, walking over to them with Louis.
“Don't mind them, they're just being a bit..” Louis searched for the right word to call his two band mates. “Immature, unpleasant, idiotic, ridiculous, just plain stupid.” Felicia rambled on crossing her arms in front of her chest. Niall nodded his head in agreement, “That's actually it.”
“This will go on for the next 20 minutes if they're not split up.” Liam interjected into the conversation, to get Niall and Louis' help with separating.
While the boys were off in their own world fighting or trying to break up the fight, Felicia pulled out her cell phone to check twitter. Thinking it'd be funny, Felicia decides to tweet the boys and see if they'd even notice.
@felicia_carmela: Hey I'd like to thank @Real_Liam_Payne @NiallOfficial @Harry_Styles @zaynmalik and @Louis_Tomlinson for pushing us down at the london eye.
@felicia_carmela: also @Harry_Styles and @zaynmalik stop fighting or @loversoify and i will start crying
The next 20 minutes consisted of Felicia, Zayn, and Louis sassily insulting each other while Liam tried learning more about Felicia and mediating the play fights they still occasionally happened. Then there was Alexis who was bonding with Niall over Nandos and some great places he has eaten in America. He also gave her a list of some place in London for the girls to check out at some point. Harry tossed in some sly, cheeky comments and compliments to make her blush.
"So are you two here on hoiday?" Liam interjected, asking the two girls because their journey on the London Eye was coming to a close sooner than all of them would have liked.
"No, we actually just moved here together. We'll both be going to University here in the fall as well," Alexis told the boy band.
"Does this mean we'll be seeing more of you lassies around then?" Niall asked excitedly while both Harry and Louis quickly looked at each other with similiar expressions on their faces. Before the group exiting the London Eye, Liam gathered the girls twitter usernames and promised to tweet them later once the boys had returned to the studio. The girls then made their way back home, having already decided they were going to paint the town red that night, to prepare for an evening they wouldn't forget.
“You have one more fucking suitcase to unpack.” Felicia stated to Alexis who was laying on the floor whining about how tired she was and how she just wanted to lay down in her bed.
“Why can't you just do it for me?” Alexis groaned, rolling onto her stomach, reaching for the Doritos as she continued to scroll through her Twitter feed. The sound of One Direction's album faintly played from the other room.
