We all sat crowded around the little coffee
table in the middle of the room eating our dinner. Louis and I
had received the food as it was delivered by a boy in the hotel
uniform who made a show of his annoyance at having to carry up
so much food. “No tip for you!” Louis yelled
at the boy as he left down the hall. I slammed the door quickly
and burst into a fit of giggles. Zayn said he wished he’d
ordered a whole other meal while the boy was up here since he
seemed to enjoy his job so much. I wish he’d done
too. As we ate, the boys filled me in on the plot of the
soap opera (though I hadn’t really taken them as
soapie-watching kinda guys…). They asked me about my
friends back in Australia - I told them about my best friend
Sara and another friend Maria - and Louis of course wanted to
know if we really rode kangaroos to school.
“Only the kids in the outback do,” I told him.
After we’d finished dinner, I started to clear the plates
off the coffee table.
“Are you mad?” Louis asked incredulously.
“Sweetie pie, this is a hotel. You
don’t do dishes, they’ll clear them tomorrow
morning,” he insisted. I stopped half way to the kitchen
with the stack of plates in my hands.
“I can’t just leave them for other people to pick
up.”
“As conceited as this is going to sound,
it is kinda their
job.”
“I’m my mother’s daughter. I clean, I
organise everything,” I said smiling.
“You’re not one of those creepy OCD people are
you?” Louis laughed.
“No I’m not that bad. But I’m
not a hobo either. I’m not going to live amongst dirty
dishes!”
“Ah, go ahead then,” Louis sighed.
“Boys, boys, boys,” I sighed. “You’ll
do anything to get out of cleaning won’t you? ‘This
is a hotel!’” I said,
mocking Louis’ laid back tone. Harry chuckled and pushed
himself up from the floor. “I’ll help,” he
said following me into the kitchen. He rifled through the
cupboards and produced a blue checked tea towel. “You
wash, I’ll dry?”
“Sure,” I replied, filling the sink.
“So, I bet you’re regretting not buying that dress
yesterday,” he teased as I handed him a plate to dry.
“Not in the slightest,” I replied.
“Can’t have my mother thinking you boys are already
having a bad influence on me!”
“You could easily hide it from her”
“You are a bad influence!
And no, I’m not like that anyway.”
“I’m only kidding, Mellisa,” he chuckled. I
smiled and handed him another plate.
“You must be glad to get away from school for so
long,” he said stacking the crockery with a clatter.
“You have no idea,” I
replied, focusing my eyes on the bowl I was scrubbing.
“You don’t like school?”
“Er, no not really. Where I go is like a prison for
girls, with bricks for electric fences and a ‘get out of
jail free’ card that allows us out each night to go home,
eat dinner and then return again in the morning,” I said,
letting the sarcasm seep into my tone.
“really... It’s that bad?”
“No,” I said smiling up at him, “but I cant
wait to get out of there all the same. You pop stars are lucky
you don’t have to worry about that kinda stuff anymore
eh?”
“Maybe, but ‘we pop stars’ are faced with a
whole set of other problems,” he replied, detecting the
teasing note in my voice.
“I can only imagine,” I said, shaking my head,
solemnly. “Having beautiful girls follow you around all
the time must be hell.” He responded to
my taunt by hitting me on the arm with the dish cloth. I looked
at him with my mouth wide open. “That was uncalled
for.”
He smiled cheekily. “So was your
comment.”
“Know your boundaries, Harry,” I said, narrowing my
eyes but trying to hold in a laugh. “You already owe me
three hot chocolates.”
“Speaking of,” he said pointing a finger at me,
“Why don’t we go get those hot
chocolates?”
“Sounds like a good idea to me,” I smiled
sweetly.
Free hot chocolate…in London…with five of the
most genetically blessed boys I’d ever set eyes on. Good
idea? That was an understatement.
