Always You || Simon Minter (miniminter)

Chapter 3

1 Week Later

I wake to the noise of shouting, Jide's voice rumbles throughout the house making we wince at the pitch of it, how does his voice go so high. I get up and head to the bathroom, the bathroom it's self is massive it's honestly the size of a small bedroom. I quickly shower and get dressed into leggings and an oversized lilac sidemen hoodie that Jide kindly gave me, He gave me one hoodie and t-shirt in every colour which is what I'll live in for the next few years. I head down to the kitchen and the shouting gets louder the closer I get, I open the kitchen doors to see most of the boys, minus Simon and Ethan, hunched over the kitchen island while Jide who somehow seems fine is shouting and annoying everyone.

"Good afternoon Millie," Jide mocks while giving me a hug, he squeezes me tight to the point where I can't breathe again.

"Can you get him to shut up please, we're all dying slowly and JJ is annoying." Vikk pouts while he sips his tea, clearly sick of Jide's loud mouth.

I laugh and slap Jide playfully across the face, "stop it you, give these boys a rest!" He gives me a questioning look before pacing towards me and throwing me over his shoulder, me screeching and hitting to try to get down. This was a regular occurrence, he would always pick me up as he knew I hated anyone picking me up, twat.

Soon enough he puts me down and right on queue Simon and Ethan walk in, both looking miserable. "How you feeling?" I chuckle as both boys walk over to get some food, Ethan looks at me and frowns clearly telling me he's not good.

"I feel like I'm dying." Simon slumps down onto a barstool, "we all do mate." Josh laughs and everyone else joins in, it feels weird to wake up to other people here, to wake up and smile, to even get out of bed is weird to me.

"So what are the plans today?" Jide's sitting on the kitchen island, "Well we need to plan what video we are doing today." Simon looks around the boys waiting for any ideas from anyone, but there was just silence.

"Okay great." Simon laughs and everyone else joins in, everyone apart from me is tired and hungover so we decided that today we would just take it easy. I need to unpack my stuff and sort out what I'm going to do with my time here, I want to get to know the boys a bit more they all seem like great characters, I need some new friends.

"Why don't we do a you laugh you lose video?" Ethan pipes up, offering ideas. Everyone glances at each other and they all come to an agreement.

While they set everything up I head off to my room, I begin to unpack my stuff placing them into the drawers next to my bed, it has taken me a full week of living out my suitcase for Jide to finally convince me to unpack. I empty the rest of my suitcase onto my bed and sort everything out, my makeup, my laptop and worst of all my chargers which have all tangled together.

"Hey Millie!" I stand up from the mess of my wires and open my bedroom door, Jide is looking down at me with a massive grin on his face which can only mean bad things. "What is it?" I question, I probably should've just closed the door but he grabs my arm and drags me upstairs to a room where I presume they are filming.

There's a black table with two chairs at each side, they have set up a camera at the end of the table facing the two chairs. "Right so JJ and Simon go first." Tobi points to the two chairs and Jide and Simon take a chair each. They stare at each other until Simon ushers for Jide to go first.

"Why do cows have hooves instead of toes?" Jide questions, trying his hardest to not laugh as he reads the answer. 

"Because they lactose." And just like that the room erupts with laugher from the boys and I, none of us could contain it especially Simon who ended up losing.

"How rich are garbage men?" Simon asks Ethan, who happens to be wearing a pair of swimming goggles, "how rich?" Ethan smirks, "filthy." Simon replies, earning a laugh. I didn't join in on the video but I was happy enough to just sit and observe, it was also hilarious and soon enough it came to an end.

"Hey Millie come help me make dinner?" Simon asks as we all leave that room to head downstairs, Simon usually cooks everyone dinner and since I'm staying here basically for free I'll help.

"Yeah of course." I smile and we both head to the kitchen. Simon has decided to make pasta and some sauce he claims he made earlier, I think he just poured it from a jar. "So how are you liking it?" Simon asks, focusing on stirring the boiling pasta as I chop some onions and mushrooms.

"Honestly, I love it." I look over at him and smile, a genuine happy smile and he smiles back at me, his adorable dimple showing.

"So do you have a boyfriend?" I'm startled by this question as it was so out of the blue, but I composed my self and turned to look at him, before laughing.

"No I don't, why?" I raise an eyebrow and a look of worry spreads across Simon's face, "I uh was just asking." He awkwardly runs his hand though his hair, he's clearly embarrassed but I find it cute, as his cheeks hint a rosy colour.

"What about you, do you have a boyfriend?" I grin trying not to laugh, Simon turns to look at me and I burst out laughing, "fuck off," he groans and puts his face into his hands, holding back laughter. Soon enough we finish making dinner and we all join Harry and Josh who are currently in the living room.

"So guys, how about having a little party tonight, give our guest a proper sidemen welcome as we're all lazy bastards and have been busy all week," Harry suggests to the rest of the guys as we all eat our meals, the boys glance at each other, not sure how to answer.

"Fuck it, I'm game." I catch Simons eye, he smiles and winks at me playfully, his eyes are hard to look away from. "Yeah let's do it," Jide cheers and everyone else agrees, here's to becoming a borderline alcoholic.
