six.
The next morning we all woke about the same time, and due to me and Josh being the least hungover of us all it was our duty to make sure everyone got some headache tablets in their systems and plenty of water.
Me and Josh were chatting quietly when the first person to wake up walks in- it was Vik.
"My head is pounding," Vik complains, sitting at the kitchen counter, resting his head in his arms.
"Here," Josh says, passing him some water and the packet that held the tablets.
Vik swallows them easily and returns to having his head in his arms, resting on the counter top.
The next to wake is JJ who complains about how bright it is in the house. I roll my eyes and pass him some water too.
I receive a text from Kylie telling me her and Harry slept together last night.
I show the boys and they all smirk and instantly make a few jokes.
The final person to wake up is Simon. He walks into the kitchen, rubbing his face with his palms. His hair was messy and his eyes were slightly squinted in the bright light pouring through the windows.
"Morning, sleepyhead," Simon says and I sigh as he slips into the seat beside JJ, I was currently sat beside Vik and Josh.
"You two look fucked," Simon comments, looking at Vik and JJ.
"Thats because we are bro," JJ chuckles and finally Simon looks at me.
I bet he doesn't even remember last night.
Something flickers in his eyes, I wonder if he's remembered?
"We lost at Fifa didn't we?" He asks and the boys all laugh, I'm left slightly disappointed.
"Yeah, we lost to Elise," Says Josh and Simon nods.
"Typical I'd lose to my rival," He says and I watch as everyone turns to me, expecting me to throw a snarky comment his way. They all, even Simon, look thoroughly disappointed when I don't and I just stare absentmindedly at the table.
"You okay?" Josh asks and I just nod, "You sure? Normally you'd reply to something he says?"
"Not today," I mutter and Vik watches me, completely confused.
I stand up and pull in a rugged breath.
"I'm going for a jog," I announce before heading out of the kitchen and into the hallway. I grab my trainers and lace them up. I plug in my earphones and head out.
SIMON
"Did I do something wrong?" I ask, looking round at Josh, Vik and JJ
"Well, maybe today she's just not feeling well," Vik shrugs and I just nod.
I breathe in deeply, I was so worried she would hate me even more after last night, I don't know what came over me when I just kissed her, but what I thinks worse, is that I liked it.
I kissed the girl I hate and liked it.
"You alright, Simon? You seem a bit shaken?" Josh asks and I shake my head.
"Just got a banging headache after last night," I reply.
"Well, I think I'm going back to bed," JJ says, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Alright, JJ, we'll keep the noise down for you," Josh says, smiling at JJ.
"Spoken like a true dad," I laugh and the boys all laugh, Josh rolling his eyes.
"I'll see you losers later," JJ says, getting up and dragging his feet as he leaves the kitchen.
I sigh deeply, looking at Josh and Vik.
"Who fancies breakfast?" Josh offers and Vik and I nod.
"Sure thing," I mutter, yawning as I take my phone out of my sweatpants pocket.
I see a few mentions on twitter, photos of me with fans. I like as many as I can and then I see a retweet of the girl me and Elise met in Nandos the other day. I can't seem to take my eyes of Elise. She was really beautiful.
"What you doing Simon? You've been staring at your screen for a good 5 minutes," Vik asks and I sigh deeply.
"I think I fucked up," I say, trying to keep quiet so Josh didn't hear.
"Why?" Vik questions, seeing me give a weary glance at Josh.
"I think I actually like Elise," I mumble and Vik laughs, causing Josh to look our way.
"Simon, fuck off," Vik laughs, trying not to by covering his mouth.
"Wait, what?" I mutter and he smirks.
"Ah! You fancy Josh's cousin!" Vik laughs, holding his hand over his mouth to try to stop himself.
"Vik, I don't," I say, firmly, frowning at him.
"He doesn't fancy my cousin, Vik, they hate each other, she wouldn't go out with someone she hates anyway," Josh says, laughing as he cracks the eggs over the frying pan.
"She hates me that much?" I ask, and Josh nods.
"All she does if you mention your name is complain, saying you're an idiot and what not," Josh says and I blink.
Why did she kiss me back last night?
Maybe she didn't and was just being polite...
Fuck.
"There's always hope though, right Simon?" Vik gives me a soft smile.
"Thanks Vik," I mutter, taking a sip of my water.
After about 15 more minutes Josh serves the breakfast- sausage, eggs, bacon and toast.
We're chatting between ourselves when the front door opens.
"Back!" Elise calls and my mind thinks of JJ.
"JJ's in bed, keep quiet," I reply, a little softer than she had called.
I hear her head upstairs, and I continue eating.
Afterwards I make my way upstairs. I turn to go to the bathroom and I see Elise exiting, a towel wrapped round her body and her hand running through wet hair.
"Oh, Simon," She mutters finally looking over her shoulder at me.
"Elise," I say and she gives me a soft smile, "Nice jog?"
"Yeah, worked hard," She says and I smile.
"Listen, I'm sorry about how nasty I am to you sometimes okay? You're honestly not that bad, and these dinner things we've been having are helping me see that," I say and she nods.
"You too, you're a lot better than I thought, Simon," She smiles and I just stare into her eyes.
"Anyway, I have a video to film with Tobi later, are you coming to the tower with me?" She asks me and I shrug.
"I might, I have some videos to catch up on so we'll see," I say and she nods.
"Well, let me know," Elise says before turning on her heels and walking into her room.
I sigh deeply, trying not to think about her too much.
I do like her though, I just hope I don't like her so much that it ends up causing a shit show.
