Y/n, finally finding her voice, spoke up, her words a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "We— We'd absolutely love to come," she said, her fingers fidgeting in her lap.
Alissa, her shock slowly turning into pure excitement, nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, we're in. We'll be there," she confirmed, her eyes sparkling. - Niall let out a whoop of approval, followed by an energetic "yes," from Louis. Harry clapped his hands together, a satisfied smile on his face.
Liam, looking pleased, leaned back in his chair. "That's settled then," he said, his eyes meeting Alissa's again. "We'll look forward to your company tomorrow." - As the excited chatter died down, Zayn, finally joining back in the conversation, turned to the girls. His cool gaze focused on Y/n as he asked, "You girls hungry? We can order something."
Alissa's and Y/n's stomachs rumbled in unison at the suggestion of food. Alissa nodded enthusiastically. "Definitely," she said, her hand grazing over her stomach.
Y/n agreed as well, admitting, "I could eat a horse right now."
Niall, hearing this, let out a loud laugh. "A horse? Now that's what I call an appetite!"
Louis, ever the humorous one, quipped, "Yeah, I don't think they serve that here. Maybe a pizza instead, eh?" - The room burst into laughter at Louis' quip. Niall, still chuckling, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I think pizza is more your speed, love."
Liam, his eyes remaining on Alissa, spoke up, a small smile playing on his lips. "A large one, I assume?"
Alissa, her cheeks turning a shade of pink, couldn't help but blush at Liam's joke. "Yeah," she managed to stutter, trying her best to maintain her composure.
The boys, noticing this, smirked and chuckled among themselves. Zayn, observing Alissa's reaction, couldn't help but find her flustered state amusing.
Y/n, noticing Zayn's gaze, couldn't help but shift her own eyes from Alissa to him. She felt her heart skip a beat as his intense eyes met hers. She tried to maintain her composure, but she couldn't deny the butterflies in her stomach. - Zayn, noticing Y/n's gaze, held her eyes for a moment before a sly grin played on his lips. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving hers. "You seem a bit quiet, love. Something on your mind?" he asked, his voice oozing charisma.
Y/n, feeling the intensity of Zayn's stare and the butterflies fluttering in her stomach, instinctively reached for another cigarette. She fidgeted with it in her hands, her nerves heightened by their direct interaction.
Zayn, observing her nervous habits, continued speaking, his voice smooth and nonchalant. "You really shouldn't get so fidgety. It's bad for your health, you know," he teased, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. - Y/n, taking a quick drag from the cigarette, tried to play off her nerves. "I'm not fidgety," she protested, her voice a little shaky.
Meanwhile, Niall, ever observant, couldn't help but chime in with a quip. "Could've fooled us, love," he said, chuckling. - While the others continued their banter, Liam, focusing his attention on Y/n, asked about her pizza preferences. "So, Y/n, what toppings do you like on your pizza?" he inquired, his eyes still fixated on her.
Y/n, caught off-guard by Liam's sudden question, quickly recomposed herself and answered with a soft smile. "Uh, I like pepperoni, mushroom, and extra cheese," she replied, hoping her choice wasn't too ordinary.
As Liam placed the order, Zayn, leaning back in his chair, chimed in. "Seems we share similar taste, Y/n," he said, a smirk playing on his lips. "Can't go wrong with pepperoni, mushroom, and extra cheese."
Alissa, clearly thrilled that Liam and Zayn had similar pizza preferences to hers, nudged Y/n with an excited look on her face. "Can you believe our luck?" she whispered, her eyes wide with glee.
