The Lovers
A Mysterious Phone Call
Valentine's P.O.V:
"Hannah! Can you go start the car up?" I called as I went to turn off the TV. My friends Hannah, Kay, and Rachel had stayed over at my, and Sami's, house for a sleepover. I had to have everything perfect before we left for the restaurant.
That's not weird... I'm a neat freak. It helps when Lou comes over because he's the messiest person I know. Usually, unless we have a girl's night, he comes over whenever Rachel does... seeing as they're dating and all.
"Yeah! I used my remote start!" she said from the kitchen, where she and Sami were handling all the trash and excess food from last night.
"Hey, guys..." Kay said, coming into the room where I was. She and Rachel were cleaning the bathroom and they came in, looking ready to die of laughter.
"What?" I asked, fluffing couch cushions.
"Uhm... who's phone is this?" She pulled a dripping iPhone from behind her back. It was wrapped in a plastic bag.
We all checked our pockets. Everyone stated they had theirs and I felt my back pocket in shock.
"Fuck. It's mine..." I murmured. They all bust out laughing. "Oh, well." I said, opening a drawer under the entertainment system. I took out a new iPhone and smiled at them.
"I hate you, bitch." Kay said, staring at me.
"I love you, too." I winked at her. "Now, let's go!"
"AND WE DANCED ALL NIGHT TO THE BEST SONG EVER," we scream/sang with the radio. There was something refreshing about being able to sit in a car where no one would scream in our faces and just sing with our boyfriends to the radio. When we finally got the restaurant, Hannah turned the radio off. We got out of the car and went into Poe's Tavern. The waiter approached us.
"How many?" he asked.
"Five, please," Kay said, never looking up from her phone. He pointed us toward our table was and once we were seated, he left. I was surprised that we got in so fast. Usually the wait was about fifteen to twenty minutes.
"Kay, are you sexting Liam?" I wiggled my eyebrows at her as I noticed her red face as she was texting.
"Um, no. Sexting requires taking pics, Val. We're just texting... in a very dirty manner," she laughed, still not looking up from her screen.
"Hey, keep it PG at the table, babe." Hannah joined in the conversation as she looked through her menu.
"Yeah, you guys are gross." We all laughed at Sami, who was like the baby of our group.
"Sami, you think holding hands is gross. Let me know when something doesn't disgust you," Rachel smiled, her eyes glued to her phone as well.
"Food. Food is never disgusting," Sami smiled. We all laughed, amused by her come back.
"Sorry guys, be right back." Rachel smiled as her phone rang. As Rachel made a clean getaway for the bathroom, our waiter reappeared.
"Can I start you ladies off with drinks?" We all ordered our preference of Coke products, Kay ordering for Rachel. We waited for a few minutes, some searching menus, some searching their Twitter feed, for our drinks.
"Are you ready to order?" the waiter asked, when he returned with our drinks.
"Yes, we'll have..." Kay ordered chili cheese fries, Sami ordered a Tell-Tale Heart; Hannah and I had The Sleeper, minus the blue cheese.
"And can I get a... Black Cat?" Rachel said, quickly glancing at the menu as she reclaimed her seat again.
"Chicken or beef?"
"Veggie would be fine, thanks."
"So, Rachel who was on the phone?" I asked, always the curious one. After I'd gotten used to these girls, I didn't bother using subtlety.
She just shook her head, "No-one special, but I did have an interesting poem read to me by Edgar Allen Poe in the bathroom." We just shook are heads and laughed, all of us familiar with the extent of Poe decor the place had. After the laughter died down, we waited for our food, deciding to let Rachel's mysterious phone call go for now.
"The first time I went in there, I thought it was haunted." Kay finally set her phone down and looked at us.
"Why am I not surprised by that?" Rachel asked, the rest of us just chuckling slightly.
When our food came, we literally ate like wolves; we were so starving. After finishing, we paid the bill and left.
"Rachel, who was on the phone?" I asked again, for the thousandth time. I wasn't hungry anymore and I was full of curiosity.
"Will you just answer her already, so she can shut up?" Sami yelled, impatiently from behind me.
"You, shut up!" I said, yelling back. Sisters are a pain in my neck.
"Fine... ugh, it was Louis. He said that I can't tell you what it was about. You have to wait till tomorrow." She said, speaking over our arguing. This is gonna be hell... They know I have no patience. That's why me and Harry almost broke up, once. He showed up late to my birthday party. But he explained why he was late.
We made our way to Hannah's Range Rover, our stomachs full. Our post-food glow was interrupted only by Hannah speaking.
"Do you guys realize that the boys leave for tour tomorrow?" We all mulled it over in our minds. No late night cuddling... no making out in the secret corners of Modest!, no group dates..
"Yeah, Liam and I were just talking about that. I kinda don't want to think about it." Kay looked down at her hands as Hannah placed the car in gear, taking us back to my house.
"It's just... that means no more soccer games with Nialler, or making up stories for snooty looking people with him..."
"Sami, are you actually saying you're going to miss Niall? A boy?" I asked from up front.
"Shut up, Val... he's not like an actual gross boy, he's... Niall. That's completely different."
"Hate to break it to you, Sami, but it's not, actually. It seems like you might have a crush on our Irish bestie..." Rachel said, lifting her eyebrows at my baby sister.
"Ew, gross, no! That's just... repulsive!" So, she does know more words than gross. Needless to say, she didn't speak to us for the rest of the car ride.
"Hey, guys pack some stuff up... we're going on a trip soon," Rachel said, a few minutes after we walked into my house.
"Why do we got to pack?" I asked her.
"Because you do."
"Just do it," she said, obviously getting annoyed with me. I stuck my tongue out and flipped her the bird when she turned around, making Sami laugh.
Looks like I have packing to do...
I went into my room and threw everything I could find into my suitcases and sat down on their tops to zip them. That should do it...
"Now, will you tell me where we're going? I packed up like, my whole room," I told Rachel when i found her texting on my living room couch.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pleeeeease?"
"No. It's supposed to be a surprise." She didn't look at me but by the way she was tapping her foot, I could tell she was getting impatient.
"Please? Please, please, please, pretty pleeeaseeee?"
"You know what? I did not sign up for this shit!" She stopped texting and dialed someone's number. When the voice on the other end said hello, she began screaming. "I can not keep this secret much longer! Everyone is sad and depressed and fucking Val won't shut up and she keeps begging and I am about to go find a hobo and stab them in the eye!" Rachel wasn't one for yelling, or losing patience, but if she somehow did, everyone was in trouble. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
Lou's voice sounded on the other end.
"Oh, okay then..." Rachel's face faded back to it's normal color and she slowly began to breath easier. "Kay, bye, love you." I opened my mouth to begin begging again, but she grabbed my lips, smooshing them together and pulled me down on the couch.
"The secret is that we're going on tour with the boys, now shut up. And please, leave me alone."
"Oh, my God!" I screamed, releasing only one twelfth of my excitement.
"Is someone dying?" Kay came running into the living room with Hannah.
"No, we're going on tour with the boys!" I screamed once again, jumping up and down and stomping my feet. We all had a short fangirl moment, except for Rachel, who was rolling her eyes at us. Wait, Sami!
"Come on, we have to tell Sami!" Hannah said, pulling my wrists as the other girls followed behind her.
We walked into her room as she was smiling hugely at her phone.
"Sammi, what the fuck are ya doing?" Kay shouted, which made her fall off her bed. We all laughed.
"What?" she said, peeling herself off her floor.
"We have to leave in a few hours. You're the only one not ready to go," Rachel said.
"I am too lazy to pack," she fussed, groaning into her comforter. We exchanged glances, deciding what we had to do. I pulled out her suitcase and shoved everything in it that she hates: V-necks, lace panties, push-up bras, things of that nature.
"What the... Get out! Get out! I will do it myself!" We all stepped back and let her cool down. We went back into the living room, half watching Spongebob as we waited for Sami.
"Where the hell are we even going?" Sami asked.
"SOMEWHERE!" I shouted, deciding that she could wait. We packed up our cars and took Kay, Rach, and Hannah to pack up.
"Guys, come on, we'll be late!" Harry had texted, telling me the time we needed to be at the airport.
We put the last few things in the car, everyone stating how excited they were.
"I still don't know what the fuck were doing," Sami said, looking up from her phone.
"Well if you weren't texting lover boy non-stop you would know." I snapped at her.
"'Scuse me, bitch, you don't need to shout. And he's not my lover boy. We're just friends." Sami and I were always the type to fight. It was like our day by day ritual.
"We're going on tour with the boys." Kay and Hannah said, ruining the effect I had going on. That's when Sami gave us her infamous, 'are you fucking kidding me,' face.
"Hannah! Can you go start the car up?" I called as I went to turn off the TV. My friends Hannah, Kay, and Rachel had stayed over at my, and Sami's, house for a sleepover. I had to have everything perfect before we left for the restaurant.
