Irresistible
chapter four
"Right foot on red." Louis smiles as he watches Harry, Liam, and Zayn struggle to twist their bodies.
"Aw, come on! You can do better than that!" Niall laughs at the three struggling boys.
"I hate this game. It's awful." Harry crosses his arms and pouts once his body touches the wrinkled Twister mat.
"Maybe cause you suck." Zayn's strained voice teases, followed by Harry's annoyed groan.
Harry gets up and pushes Zayn, laughing when he falls on top of Liam.
"Ow." Liam moans in pain but soon laughs.
"Okay, who wins?" Charlotte shakes her head as the three boys tangle themselves together.
"I say Liam." Louis says.
"Yup." I agree.
"New game?" Niall claps his hands and snatches the board from Louis, despite his protests.
"Zayn, Louis, and...... Kennedy." Niall winks at me and then Zayn.
"I don't want to be in the middle of that." Louis groans.
I look over at Liam, who frowns and fiddles with his fingers. Zayn shrugs and pulls me over to the mat.
"Alright," Niall hums as he waits for the spinner to stop on a color. "Right hand on yellow."
Louis quickly finds a yellow circle and smiles. Zayn follows quickly behind.
"I have to play?" I groan in annoyance.
Harry nods. "If I played, you have to. Right Liam?"
Liam smiles at me, seeing my absolute self-pity. "Not if she doesn't want to."
"Don't go soft on her." Harry rolls his eyes in disgust.
"I think she should play." Charlotte says forcefully.
I glance over at Liam, who's in the same state of shock as me. I shake the feeling out of my system and try my best to feign nonchalance.
"Anyway, Kennedy, you're playing. Hurry up." Niall nods towards an empty yellow circle.
I rolls my eyes and place my right hand on the circle, waiting impatiently for Niall's next instructions.
"Left foot on blue."
My leg brushes against the back of Zayn's thigh as I place my foot on the only blue space I see from my position. I look over at Liam and mouth a subtle sorry. I take his grin as a response and look down at the mat.
"Right foot on red."
"I'm done." Louis announces and throws his hands up in the air as a surrender. Harry pats his shoulder, causing Louis to blush slightly.
Zayn's leg slips under my body as he reaches a distant circle with his foot.
"This hurts." Zayn moans in pain.
"Can we stop?"
"Not until you kiss." Louis smiles and leans forward in his seat.
"You guys have been dating, for what, a couple weeks? Months? And we have never seen you two kiss." Harry urges.
Zayn sits up and pulls me close to his face. "Sorry." He whispers into my ear before kissing me.
"Yay!" Niall and Louis cheer in unison, completely unaware of Liam's burning stares.
Zayn pulls away first and clears his throat. He gives me an apologetic smile and turns to the group of friends. "Anyone hungry?"
"Starving." Niall is the first to rush out of Zayn's apartment, everyone following quickly behind.
"You alright?" Liam offers me a hand and smiles down at me.
I nod and he pulls me up with a tad too much force, causing our bodies to slam together.
"You did that on purpose."
He smiles, winking before turning to go join the others outside.
