I Want: My Adventures with One Direction

Chapter 3

"Louis! Give me back my Kevin." Abby shouted as Louis ran away with her plastic dinosaur named Kevin. She started to chase him, but Emily got there first. She tackled him and took Kevin back.

"What did I tell you about taking Abby's Kevin?" Emily asked.

"If I ever stole it agaiin, you would crush my bones nd give them to The Wanted. And that you would take my Kevin and burn him." he said as if hypnotized.

"That's right, child. I'll let it go just this once. Only because I like you so much." Emily walked back to Abby and gave her Kevin back.

"Thank you." Abby said in relief. She hugged Kevin in close.

I then notice that a Frisbee is about to hit my head. I catch it at the last moment.

"Nice catch!" Harry shouted jokingly.

"Why thank you." I replied in the same manner. I then threw it to Emily. Emily caught it and threw it to Harry, who ended up missing it. The Frisbee ended up smacking him in the arm. I couldn't help but laugh my head off. I fell in the grass, laughing so hard. Emily ran over and kissed him on the lips.

"I'm so sorry!" She said in between laughs. She kissed his arm. He then kissed back. They started going full force on the kissing. They obviously didn't need me anymore. I just walked away. Way to much to see. "Get a room!" I shout as I walk away.

Liam and Jordan were laying out on lounge chairs by the pool. Seeing them just laying there and being all relaxed gave me the most genius idea.

"Abby," I called. "Come here."

"What?" she asked.

"I just got the most genius idea. It might be a little mean, but lets throw Liam and Jordan in the pool." I suggested.

"Hmmm..." Abby contemplate. "Sure." she shrugged. "Lets go round up the others." We walked around telling everbody our plan. Niall and Sarah of course were in without any persuading. They wouldn't miss a practical joke like this for the world. Louis was also in. Harry and Emily, though, took a while, but eventually we got them to join in.

"Shh." I said as we approached Liam and Jordan. I knnew Niall was going to laugh his face off at any moment, so it was mostly meant for him.

We slowly approached the lounge chairs. The girls took Jordan and the boys took Liam. We carefully and slowly lifted them up. In one fluid motion, they were in the pool. As soon as they hit the water, Niall cracked up and laughed his head off. Everyone else couldn't help but join in. I jumped in after Liam and Jordan. Everyone else followed my lead.

I swam around and eventually took a plastic duck ring thing from Abby and sat on it. I closed my eyes and started to relax. Just as I was at my upmost relaxed, I felt a tugging at my leg. I quickly let out a horror movie type scream before I was pulled under. I opened my eyes and found Zayn smiling at me. I pushed myself back to the surface. When I saw Zayn resurface, I lightly punched him in the arm.

"Don't do that again!" I said. I have always been afraid that there might be a shark, jellyfish, or stingray in the pool. Yes, it is a strange fear. Don't ask me why I have it. I'm not exactly sure myself.

"I'm sorry, babe," he says jokingly. "Maybe this will help." he picks me up and 'throws' me back into the water a few feet away. I resurface and swim back to him.

"It might've." I say, splashing him. I swim away.

I find a loner beach ball and toss it up in the air. As it falls down, Jordan comes and catches it. "You up for some beach ball volley ball?" She asks.

"Any day." I reply. I knew this was revenge from dumping her in the pool. Lame revenge if you ask me. We set up the volley ball net on land. "Let's do this thing." I say.

"Oh, its on like Donkey Kong."

"What?" I ask between laughs. I couldn't help it. Jordan comes up with the weirdest sayings. She tosses up the ball and smacks it towards me. I hit it back harder. She attempts to hit it, but misses. "POINT!" I yell, throwing up my arms. Louis realizes what's going on and claps. Soon, everybody realizes what's going on and claps. Soon, everybody joins in. "Thank  you. Thank you." I say, bowing. I look to Jordan, who is doing a death eye, and smile. I take the ball and serve it to Jordan. She smacks it. I smack it back. The game basically went on like this. We had to call it because it was time to set up for dinner. The score in the end was 5 (me) to 4 (Jordan).

"Becca, can you help me set up for dinner?" Gemma asks, bringing out a tray full of dishes. I ran over and helped her set the table. "Can you back inside and get the drinks?" she asks.

"Which ones?" I ask.

"The ones Louis and Harry hasn't gotten to." Gemma jokes.

"You," Louis walks over. "Are a meanie." He says, lazily pointing at Gemma.

"And you sire, are an eavesdropper." Gemma retorts, putting her hands on Louis's face and then taking his drink. I head inside to get some lemonade and some alcohalic drinks for the guys.

Walking back outside, I noticed Louis laying in a lounge chair. I set down the drinks on the table. "Why?" I ask Abby, pointing to Louis.

"Its been a long day for Loulou Bear." She replied, shaking her head. She then proceeded to go over and pet his head.

"Okay...." I say, walking away.

I helped Gemma finish setting the table with all the food, and also trying to keep away Niall and Sarah from stealing it. That was very difficult. Niall is really strong. But I mananged to push him back. Somehow, we were able to all camly sit at the table. Everyone was sitting next to their signifigant other. I was sitting by Zayn, even though there is nothing like that between us.

Dinner was New York cut steak, an assortment of veggies (which does include carrots), mashed potatoes, Nandos, and gravy for the steak. To drink, we obviously had alcoholic things like wine coolers, Miller Light, Budweiser, and Jack Daniel's (not sure why). It was a madhouse of hands reaching for food. Niall went straight for the Nandos, Louis and Abby for the carrots (their hands both held the serving thing), Liam went to get a Miller, Jordan took some potatoes, and Harry and Emily gave each other steak. It seemed like the only normal people were Zayn, Gemma, me, waiting patiently for people to stop grabbing and start eating. I reach out to grab some carroots when I feel a hand on my hand. Zayn's hand was on top of mine. I quickly draw back my hand. Am I blushing? I suddenly feel very self-concious.

"You go ahead." He says, gesturing to the spoon.

"Thanks." I take my share of carrots. There isn't much left after Louis and Abby got ahold of them.

After dinner, Zayn, Liam, and Niall set up a huge bonfire. While they were doing that, Louis and Harry prepared things for s'mores (not without eating a few marshmallows along the way). I went in to get Harry's guitar. A bonfire and s'mores with these boys meant only one thing, Super Singy Bonfire Thingy! I gave the guitar to Niall and sat on a tree stump next to Emily and Abby. I look up at the beautiful night sky, filled with stars and mystery. Niall strums a chord on his guitar. "What song is first?" He asks.

"I Got a Feelin'!" Zayn shouts. He looks at me and smiles. We immediately know right where to begin. We shout and sing and just have a good time. I mess up a little with the words and start to laugh. Abby looks at me and starts laughing too.

"What's next?" Niall asks once the song is done. Abby and I look at each other.

"What Makes You Beautiful!!!" We shout.

Niall strums the first few chords. I look around at our little singing circle. I catch Gemma's eye and she smiles. I continue looking around until I got to Zayn. I sit and stare at him. His masculine jaw line. His green v-neck tee fitting perfectly over his well built muscles. His perfectly styled hair (he spent a lot of time in the bathroom today). He notices me looking at him and he smiles. I have never noticed all these things about Zayn before. Maybe I want our relationship to be more than this too.
