IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 1 “Look, Taylor, you really need to start focusing on your grades – they suck. This is your senior year of high school. It’s your last year of high school. The end will be here before you know it and you’ll be at college.” My dad paused his lecture to chew up a piece of meat loaf. He swallowed then held his fork in the air to make a point. “And to go to college, you nee-“
My phone started to go off. I held it up to my ear and before I could even say hi, my best friend, shannon was screaming into the phone. “Taylor! Go to the site and look at the latest dare! Pronto!” I glanced at my dad and saw him frown. I mouthed sorry and raced up to my room, flopping onto my bed, quickly grabbing my laptop from underneath my pillow. I pulled up the dare site and was instantly horrified by the latest dare. See, there’s five boys at my school – Niall, Harry, Liam, Zayn, and Louis. All five boys are down right gorgeous – stunning, really – and major players. Ever since freshman year, they began running this site where people submit dares. Most of the dares involve playing girls and taking away their v-cards. I was never really bothered by the boys and was never targeted with any dares, until now. “Shannon?” I gulped, re-reading the dare. “It’s finally happening!” She sounded so happy about it. I started to feel sick. How could my best friend be so excited that I was the next target after what they did to her? “I have to go. I’ll text you.” Before she could whine, I hung up and pulled my laptop onto my lap, leaning against the wall. I scrolled down the page, reading all the replies to the newest challenge. My eyes darted back and forth, and I quickly realized Shannon wasn’t the only one thrilled about it. I heard a knock on my door and quickly shut my laptop right as my dad walked in. “Do you wanna talk?” He asked awkwardly. I could tell he was uncomfortable. My dad wasn’t really the type to have serious conversations with anyone – especially since my mother left him and ran off with some guy. “Nah. I’m fine.” I forced a stiff smile at him, hoping he’d get the message that I didn’t want any type of conversation right now and that he’d leave. But he just stood there. “Um, Taylor, I know it’s been hard on you with your mom and all, and you’ve been acting different.” He sighed. “I just don’t want you to feel like you have to go through it on your own.” I looked at him and with all the seriousness I could manage, told him something that would make him squirm. “Dad, I’m on my period.” His eyes widened and I bit my lip to keep from laughing. “It’s kind of messy, so if you could give me some privacy to take a shower, that’d be great.” He nodded and went to walk out but froze and looked at me. My dad hovers, what can I say? “So, you’ve been acting off because of –“ I cut him off. “Hormones.” He nodded and went to leave again but I called after him. “Dad, you know I heard that ice cream can make girls less moody, something to do with their emotions I guess.” He shook his head and slammed the door. “I guess no ice cream then?” I hollered. I could hear my dad chuckling, and with that, I set my laptop on my pillow and went to turn the shower on. Maybe mom being gone wouldn’t be so bad after all. * The best thing about showers is they calm you. I laid my head against the shower wall as the water ran down my bare skin. Out of all the girls in the school, why me? I looked at the faint layer of fog that had settled on the shower door. I sighed and ran my finger tips through the mess known as my hair. Feeling like one of the boys would jump into the shower with me so they could get the dare out of the way, I crossed my legs protectively. No one was getting my v-card, no one. I already convinced myself I’d be forever alone with sixty nine cats. But how cool would it be to say that a smoking hot popular guy took a trip down Taylor’s avenue? I moaned and closed my eyes. “I’m such a nerd.” I muttered out loud. I flipped over onto my side; still keeping my legs crossed, and very gently drew a heart on the shower door with my finger. My dad would kill me and shoot any boy in sight if he knew not just one – but five guys were on a mission to get in my pants. I frowned, remembering the wreck Shannon was when the boys were after her. She fell, and once she fell, she fell hard. I remember her calling me up and telling me all about it the night she was officially no longer a virgin – and officially no longer interested the boys. What if that’s me next? It couldn’t be. I wouldn’t allow it. I had to make the boys want to up chuck a woodchuck if they saw me. If I was so disgusting, maybe they’d give up on the whole thing and move onto someone else. I wrapped myself in a towel and looked at myself in the mirror. I was far from being any one’s dream girl. My dark brown hair hung in waves – or should I say knots – around my shoulders and my blue eyes seemed to pop out of my head. I quickly dressed and looked down to see Shannon was calling me, but I ignored it. Maybe I could sit on the boys and squash them with my thunder thighs. Really, the possibilities and creativity of how I could get them to chicken out of the dare was endless. I plopped onto my bed and logged on to facebook to see I had five new friend requests. I accepted all five and immediately was added into a group chat with all five of the boys. My laptop started to ding with all the messages that were being sent. Before I exited out of the chat, I took the opportunity to give the boys a message of my own. “So I heard you’re a player? Well guess what, I’m the damn coach. Suck it, dick faces.” I pressed send and closed my laptop. I looked up to see my other best friend, Lauren leaning in the door way. “Your dad let me in.” She explained, and then held up two cartons of Ben & Jerry ice cream along with two spoons. She flashed me a smile, tearing the lids off of the cartons. Right before we began shoving ice cream into our mouths, I felt Shannon throw her arms around me. “Those bastards won’t get within five feet of you. I have my gun polished and ready to be used.” I smiled at the wall, relieved that I wouldn’t be dealing with this on my own. Those boys had no clue who they were messing with. IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 2 “Please!” Lauren begged. I shook my head and took another mouthful of ice cream. “Why not? We could have some fun with this!” I looked at her and felt a smile slowly form across my face. “Well, since you put it that way…”“So yes?” I nodded. She shrieked in delight then hit the down load button for Skype. “Once it’s done downloading, we’ll Skype them and show them who they’re messing with.” Truth be told, I didn’t even want to see their faces or hear their voices. Any other day, well, yeah – they were some real eye candy. But when I knew they wanted to get me in bed, the situation was kind of different. When I found out who gave them the dare, I was going to lock the person in a closet. I could imagine it now. They’d go insane because they wouldn’t be able to shave their armpit hair. “Taylor, Earth to Taylor.” Lauren waved her hand in front of my face. I blinked and looked at her. “What were you daydreaming about?” She asked curiously.I shrugged and leaned back against the wall. “Oh, y’know, the usual – locking people in closets and them not being able to shave their armpit hair.” Lauren shook her head and then grinned. “It downloaded! Now what do you want your username to be?” I bit my lip and with a straight face, said “No one is taking a trip down Taylor’s avenue. Maybe add a sixty nine at the end for the full effect, oh, and an underscore!” She laughed but typed it in anyways. As soon as the account was set up, she sent a request to the boys’ skype and it was immediately accepted. Within seconds, they were calling us. Lauren hit the ‘answer’ button and the boys appeared on our screen. I licked my lips. Damn, may I just say that their parents made hot kids? I was wearing a fake mustache and a tank top with booty shorts on, my hair thrown back into a messy bun. “Hey boys.” I tried to sound seductive, but failed horribly, so I winked at them. Niall – the blonde one with icy blue eyes – tilted his head back and laughed. I exchanged glances with Lauren. Was this kid crazy? No one laughed at my jokes except me. It was pretty much law and everyone followed it. Well, they didn't actually know about the law, they just didn't laugh at my jokes. What can I say? Only I understand my sense of humor. Zayn had his black hair styled up in a quiff and he bit his lip, leaning forward, his smoky dark brown eyes narrowing. That’s when I noticed each of the boys – every single one of them – was shirtless. “Nice username!” Louis piped. “It’s really original.” He looked at Harry, whose curls were styled – or should I say Styles – messily. Harry smirked, which made his emerald green eyes crinkle at the corners. Louis pushed his hair out of his bright blue eyes, then quickly added, “But I think Harry’s cat could come up with a better username.” I scoffed. “Y’know, for someone whose goal is to get in my pants, you should really be treating me nicer.” Liam slapped Louis on the back. “Yeah, Lou, show some respect!” Liam’s dark hair was very short, but he was very adorable. Believe it or not, even though he was a player, he had manners. I was going to say thank you but stopped myself, remembering he was the one who took Shannon’s virginity. He might’ve stuck up for me against his buddies, but I didn’t owe him anything. I stood up and heard Harry whistle. I narrowed my eyes. “You can look, but you’re never gonna be able to touch.” I quipped. Zayn smirked. “Oh yeah? Whose gonna stop us?”“Well you can’t make me do anything I don’t want, because that’s technically rape.” I pointed out.“Just for the record, I have a shot gun loaded and I’m not afraid to use it.” Lauren added. “One, two, we’re comin’ for you!” Niall sung.I rolled my eyes and motioned towards my body. “You ain’t getting any of this.Louis crossed his arms and leaned backwards. “We’ll see about that.” “Wanna know something?” I asked, smiling. All of the boys nodded eagerly. I leaned towards the screen. “If you even so much as look at me, I shall cut all of your teeny tiny ball sacks off and serve them on a dinner plate to your favorable whores.”“Hey!” Louis frowned. “You wish you could touch our sacks!”“No, you wish you could get in my pants.” I fired back. Harry laughed. “Suck my dick, Taylor!“Sorry, babe, mom told me not to put small things in my mouth.” I smirked at him.“Who are you callin’ small?” Liam asked, standing up. He pointed at his crotch. “I have ten inches that will make a mess upon your innocence!”I shook my head, laughing, then hit the disconnect button. One thing was for sure – messing with the boys was going to be entertaining.

IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 3 I was sprawled out on my bed, my head hanging off the edge as Lauren searched for a movie to watch. “Do you want to watch the Titanic?” She asked, holding it up. I tossed a small football at the ceiling and when I caught it, shook my head. “It’s too long.” I complained.

“More like you just don’t want me to see you cry like a little baby.” She teased, putting it back on the shelf. Someone knocked on the door and I fell off the bed. My head hit the floor and I shrieked. My dad opened the door and looked away. “Close your legs, taylor. No one wants to see that.” He mumbled. I looked down to see that my booty shorts were practically underwear in this position. I blushed and sat up, tempted to tell him five guys wanted to ‘see that’. But I decided it wasn’t a smart choice, and I was thankful my dad talked when he did. “There’s some guy downstairs claiming he needs to talk to you.” I exchanged a glance with Lauren and she gave me a nod. I slowly stood up. Walking down stairs, my dad was practically right behind me. I opened the door to see Liam standing there, his hands shoved in his jean pockets. I looked over my shoulder to see my dad watching. “Ever heard of privacy?” I put my hands on my hips. He shook his head so I closed the door slightly, stepping out onto the porch. I focused on Liam. “What do you want?” I snapped. “Do you think you could come see a movie with me?” He asked softly, holding up two tickets. I frowned. “Who do you think you are?” He raised his eyebrow. “Liam Payne.” “You can’t expect me to go out with you when I know all you want is to get in my pants.” I sneered. “I want to get to know you.” He mumbled. I admit, the puppy look he gave me almost made me give in, but I stood my ground. I looked up at him and made it to where our bodies were touching. “I bet you’d like it if I went to the movies with you.” I whispered. He swallowed and was breathing heavily. “And I bet you’d like to show me that you really are a ten inch destroying machine, wouldn’t you?” My lips hovered over his, and he gave a slight nod. I slapped him on the back. “Sorry, Liam, you’re not getting lucky tonight.” “So does that mean I could get lucky tomorrow?” He asked hopefully. I snorted. “Listen, Payne, you keep those ten inches of yours tucked away, because you won’t be using them on me.” “That’s a shame.” He stuck his lip out, pouting. “You had me worked up for a second.” I laughed. “You’re like a girl on her period.” “What’s that mean?” He narrowed his eyes. “You’re so horny it isn’t even funny. If you were a dog, you’d be humping a tree.” I remarked. “Why not your leg?” He smirked. I rolled my eyes. “Here’s a tip to get you further in life. Think with your brain, not your dick.” Liam’s mouth opened but no words came out. I smirked, knowing I won the fight. I went to walk inside but froze when I opened the door. “Oh, and Liam?” He looked at me. “I wasn’t kidding when I said I’d chop your balls off.” With that, I slammed the door in his face. I watched him have the walk of shame to the car and saw the four figures sitting in the van. I turned to see my dad pretending to read a newspaper. I went to go upstairs but his voice stopped me. “Any particular reason why you just told a guy to think with his head and not his manhood?” My dad asked. I leaned over the stair railing. “Dad, can you promise me something?” “What?” He set the newspaper on the table. “If any boy asks for me to come outside, slam the door in their face, okay?” I bit my lip. Lauren was suddenly by my side. “If any boy asks for her to come outside, chop their balls off!” She called. My dad didn’t even ask. “Gladly.” I didn’t have to look to know he was smiling. * “Please!” Lauren whined. “No! I’m not going anywhere with any of them! That’s setting my self up for death!” I exclaimed. “Fine.” She knit her eyebrows together in frustration. “I’m going to go take a shower.” “You do that.” I didn’t even bother to look up from the computer, which was regrettable. I heard the water turn on, so I wasn’t concerned. That’s when I heard Lauren talking to someone. IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 4 I slowly walked over to the bathroom and pressed my ear against the door. Sure enough, I wasn’t just imagining things – Lauren was talking to someone. “Sounds great, we’ll see you there!” She sounded so perky. I fumbled with the knob but it was locked. Fuck. I waited until the water turned off and Lauren opened the door, walking out with a towel wrapped around her body.
She set my phone down on the television stand, turning to go get dressed. “So, who are we going to be seeing, and why did you take my phone?” I asked, shutting the laptop and smiling at her sweetly. “We’re going to meet shannon at the movies. So get dressed.” She threw my phone at me and I frowned at her as she shut the bathroom door. I stared at the screen of my phone, tempted to look at the list of recent calls. But after a second, I tossed my phone onto the pillow and decided to get ready for the movies instead. * I sat in the front seat of Lauren’s car, tapping my fingers on my knee, humming to the sound of the engine. I had thrown my hair back into a ponytail, securing the stray hair with a grey headband, and was wearing grey sweats with a dark blue long sleeved shirt. It was snug in some places and hugged my figure, but it was comfortable. She slid into the drivers seat and looked at me. “Are you ready?” I nodded. “Nice sweats.” “Thanks. They compliment my thunder thighs nicely.” I said cheerfully, patting my legs. She shook her head, grinning, and before long we were driving to the movies. “So what movie are we gonna see?” I asked. “The Perks of being a Wallflower.” Lauren didn’t take her eyes off the road. “The one with Logan Lerman in it?” I bit my lip. She gave a slight nod. “That’s the one.” “He’s so hot!” I whined. “If I saw him, I’d probably tackle him.” Lauren smirked. “What pathetic taylor pick up line would you use on him?” I tried to make a seductive face and in a deep voice, imagined I was talking to Logan Lerman. “Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?” Lauren burst out laughing. “That’s horrible!” She hit the wheel of the car, accidentally beeping. Someone honked back at us and Lauren turned into a parking lot. “I don’t know, I think I deserve an award for the best pick up lines.” I teased. I climbed out of the car then frowned. “Is it just me or did the movie theaters change dramatically within a month?” “Just come inside.” Lauren held the door open. I looked at her uneasily, but walked into the building anyways. It was dark and I had to grab onto Lauren’s arm to make sure I didn’t trip and fall onto my face. All of a sudden there was a bright light shining on a pole in the middle of the room. I turned around to see the light reveal Niall and Liam standing behind us, holding chairs. Lauren sat down and yanked my arm, making me plop into the chair. “Why are they here?” I whispered. She avoided my eyes. “You’ll see.” All of a sudden Harry was hanging onto the pole, his leg wrapped around it. He was shirtless, his face covered with make up to make him look like a cat, and he had a bow tie around his neck. Harry winked at me, causing me to raise an eye brow. All of a sudden ‘We Found Love’ was blasting out of a radio and Harry started to climb the pole, twisting and turning. I couldn’t believe it. He was pole dancing. He hopped off the pole, his hands moving to his pants and he slowly started to unbuckle them. I shrieked and covered my eyes. “I came to see a movie, not a strip show!” “taylor, please.” Lauren moaned. I unshielded my eyes and looked at her. I felt betrayed. “You were supposed to protect me, not throw me to the wolves!” I exclaimed. “I’m helping you! It’s better you get it over with now!” She growled. I shook my head and stood up. Lauren grabbed my arm. “Sit down, taylor.” She demanded. I yanked my arm away from her. “Don’t touch me.” My voice was shaky and my lip was trembling. “taylor, please.” Lauren’s blue eyes reflected all of her emotions, hurt being one of them. “You can let them get in your pants instead. But they aren’t getting in mine, not today.” I stormed towards the door, slamming it shut. Louis opened the door and looked at me, amusement flickering across his features. “That’s the closet, love.” “I knew that.” I snapped, walking towards the door Liam held open. I heard Lauren start to say something but I didn’t want to hear it. “Enjoy the strip show.” I called over my shoulder. Right before the door closed, I could hear giggles. That’s when I realized Lauren drove me here. “Fuck!” I threw my phone to the ground, feeling stupid. Then I realized it wasn’t the best idea. I quickly picked it up, and when I stood up, I felt someone breathing on my neck. I spun around. I was face to face with Niall. “What do you want?” I mumbled. “The voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you.” He grinned, his blonde hair sticking up at random angles. I crossed my arms over my chest, feeling vulnerable with a shirt that hugged all the wrong places. “That’s great, Ni, it really is, but I don’t have time for this.” “Do you have a ride home?” He asked. “That’s none of your business.” I muttered. “I’m just trying to be nice.” He offered innocently. I snorted. “Sorry bud, not today.” I started to walk away from him, but froze. He was laughing. I turned to look at him. “What’s so funny?” His face was red and he was gripping his stomach to keep from falling over. “Your house is the other way!” I blushed, but quickly recovered. “Actually, my house teleported. Not so smart now, are you?” He just kept laughing, his eyes practically squeezed shut. I took off running the right way towards my house. Before long, Niall honked and stopped his car right by the sidewalk. “Come on Barbie, let’s go party!” He sang. I ignored him and kept walking. He drove up a little bit. “Get in the car.” I didn’t listen to him. “If you get in the car, I’ll give you candy.” I glanced at him and saw him hold up a Hersheys chocolate bar. Those were my weakness. I tried to look away but he grinned, knowing he had me snared in his trap. “Fine.” I snapped. “But you have to take me to the movies and buy me dinner.” He smiled. “Deal.” I climbed into the car and waited for him to take off speeding to some empty building. But he just stayed put. “Buckle your seatbelt.” I looked at him. “Are you serious?” “Safety first, right?” He bit his lip. I rolled my eyes. “Wow, how clever.” “I know, right?” Niall grinned. “Remember to wrap your willy before you get silly.” I quipped. His smile fell off his face. “What? Safety first, right?” I said innocently. He closed his eyes and sighed. “Just put your seat belt on, taylor.” I smiled and buckled my seat belt, leaning backwards in the chair. Maybe I no longer had someone to help me mess with the boys, but I sure as hell had good comebacks. Speaking of comebacks, I should write the willy one down to use it on the other boys. Either way, I’d make sure no boy would be able to get silly with me – wrapped willy or no wrapped willy. When I said I would be a forever alone lady with sixty nine cats, I wasn’t kidding. I'd be a virgin for a long time. I'd make sure of it. IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 5 “So did you like the movie?” Niall asked, throwing his arm around my waist. I pushed him off of me and nodded. “Logan is hot.” Niall rolled his eyes and opened the car, sliding in. I buckled my seat belt and looked at him. “Are you going to drive or are we just going to stay here all day?”

He frowned and slid the keys into the ignition. After five minutes of driving, he glanced over at me. “I don’t get you.” “What’s not to get?” I bit my lip. “Why does it matter to you so much?” Niall asked. “I could ask you the same question, burrito.” I mumbled, looking out the window. He snorted and the car went back to being silent. Buildings flashed by and it began to drizzle softly, and that’s when I realized we passed McDonalds. “Hey, you missed it.” I pointed out. He shook his head. “No, I didn’t.” “Yeah. We agreed on McDonalds ten minutes ago.” I argued. More restaurants flashed by. “Where are we going?” I whimpered. Niall’s icy blue eyes drifted off the road and landed on my face – or should I say chest? He blinked and swallowed, focusing on the road again. “You’ll see.” I narrowed my eyes. “I don’t want to see. Tell me where we’re going.” “We’re going to a party.” Niall mumbled, running his hands through his hair. “Take me home.” I demanded. “No. We’re almost there!” He exclaimed. “Take me home, Niall.” I looked at my phone. The car stopped and he snatched my phone out of my hand, holding it out of my reach. “Give it back!” I whined, stretching for it. “Nope.” He grinned. I looked at him in disbelief, then unbuckled my seat belt, opened the car door, and started walking on the side of the interstate. Cars honked as Niall slowly drove, trying to keep up with my pace. “taylor! C’mon babe! I’ll take you home after the party!” I shook my head. “Twenty minutes.” “Fine.” He mumbled. I smiled and climbed back into the car. Another victory for taylor, eh? * I sat in the corner in a chair, holding a bottle of Coke. I took tiny sips, my eyes gazing around the room. Niall had left me, claiming he “needed a pint”. My eyes landed on a guy sitting alone on a couch, awkwardly holding a bottle of beer. He had short brown hair that was spiked up and dark chocolate brown eyes to go along with his cocoa bean skin. I caught his eye and he gave a shy wave. I stood up and made my way over to him. “I’m taylor!” I screamed over the blaring music. “aaron.” He held out his hand and smiled. I glanced at it, confused. “Oh! You want me to shake it, right?” He nodded and I quickly shook it, then plopped down beside him on the couch. “So whose party is this?” I asked. “Louis Tomlinson’s.” He shrugged. I looked at him. “You’re friends with Louis?” aaron shook his head. “We used to be friends, but ever since freshman year, he’s been more focused on knocking me down in football than being buds.” I frowned. “Sounds lovely.” He snorted and took a drink out of his beer bottle, then wiped at his mouth. “Could be worse.” Right before I could answer, a very drunk Louis appeared. His blue eyes were glazed and he was holding a glass that alcohol kept sloshing out of. “Hey taylor, want to go to the bed room?” He asked. I rolled my eyes. “No thanks.” He looked like he was slapped then noticed aaron was there. Just then a girl with too short of a skirt whose face was smeared in make up came up and tugged on Louis’ arm. “You two behave.” Louis slurred before letting the blonde drag him away. I stared at my feet, my cheeks burning. “Oh my god.” aaron whispered. I glanced up at him. “I thought I recognized you! You’re the girl on the dare site, right?” “Can we restart this and act like that didn’t happen?” I mumbled. aaron closed his mouth then nodded. I stood up and walked to the opposite side of the room, then danced my way towards the couch. “Hey there, I’m taylor but you can call me tonight.” I winked at him. He tilted his head back and laughed. He sounded like a goat, but it was strangely a turn-on for me. “Do you want me to get you some more Coke?” He asked. I looked down to see my bottle was empty. I nodded and he left the room, heading off towards the kitchen. Someone put their hands on my hips, moving them to the beat of the song ‘We R Who We R’. I felt Harry breathing heavily on my neck. “If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?” He asked seductively. I spun around, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer to me. “If I said you were hot, would you give me your car keys so I can go home?” I whispered into his ear. “But the fun hasn’t started.” He whined. “I’m not having a good time.” I mumbled. “I can show you a good time if you let me.” He grinned, swaying my hips back and forth. I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I bet you would love that.” “I would.” He admitted. I moved my hands down towards his pants and heard the jingle of his car keys clashing with his skin. I patted his butt, and when my hands landed on the pocket they were in, I kept my hand hovering there. “Come closer, I need to tell you something.” I tried to make it sound important, but since he was drunk, he probably wouldn’t notice how desperate I probably sounded. He leaned closer and I pulled the keys out of his pants. I pushed him away and he stumbled backwards, crashing into a group of girls dancing. “Thanks Harry!” I waved at him, but he was already distracted. Hey, I wasn’t complaining, and I bet Harry wasn't either. I walked outside, the cold wind blasting against my face. I unlocked the car door and was about to climb into the drivers seat – willing to take the risk of being arrested for not having my license – when I heard a door slam and someone talk. “Leaving already?” I turned around to see Zayn Malik leaning against one of the other cars in the driveway. “Oh goody.” I mumbled. I just can’t go anywhere without one of these boys following me, can I? IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 6 "Y'all can't seem to get enough of me. Keep it up and I may have to file a restraining order." I teased. Zayn walked towards me slowly, a beer bottle dangling from his hand. His dark black hair stuck out at different angles and his smoky brown eyes observed me playfully. I frowned and leaned against the car. “You’re like a dictionary taylor; you add meaning to my life.
” He held up the bottle, causing beer to slosh out of it. “Wow, that was deep man. I bet you use that on all the girls, right?” I snickered. Zayn frowned. “You think we’re bad guys but we really aren’t.” He slurred. I raised my eyebrows and folded my arms across my chest. “If I thought you were bad guys, would I be talking to you right now?” “That is a very, very good point.” He took a drink out of the beer bottle. “But keep in mind we can’t control the dares.” I rolled my eyes. "Go home Zayn, you're drunk." “Want to come home with me?” He smirked. “Nice try, buster.” I went to climb into Harry’s car but Zayn opened the door and plopped into the other seat. I stared at him. “What? If I drove home, then I’d end up in jail.” He pointed out. I sighed. “Buckle up.” He did and I started driving down the highway. We were almost to Zayn’s house when a police car showed up in my windshield mirror, its lights blaring. It was swerving though, so I was a tad nervous. I pulled over and sat in the car, glancing over at Zayn. “Get rid of the alcohol.” His eyes widened and he tossed it out the car window. “That wasn’t what I meant, but I guess it’ll work.” I mumbled. That’s when there was a light tap on the glass. I rolled the window down to come face to face with a very drunk Louis and Harry dressed up in police costumes. Louis tipped his hat, his shirt unbuttoned. “Are you a parking ticket? Cause you’ve got fine written all over you.” I couldn’t help it, I busted out laughing. Harry leaned against the car and dangled a pair of hand cuffs. “We’ve had reports you’ve been a very naughty girl, ma’am, so I’d like it if you stepped out of the car.” “I’m sorry, Mr. Officer, but I don’t get what I did wrong?” I blinked and looked up at him innocently. “Being sexy is a crime around this neck of the woods, and you’ve been found guilty as charged!” Louis pulled his sunglasses off slightly so he could look at me. I glanced over at Zayn, who was passed out. I sighed and climbed out of the car. Harry opened the hand cuffs and looked me in the eye. “Anything you say will be held against you – and by that, I mean my body.” He ruffled his curls and went to close the hand cuffs around my wrists. I twisted around and heard him whine. “Stop being complicated!” He complained. I hopped back into the car and glanced up at him. “Sorry Harry, I guess you’re going to have to find a new prisoner.” I pushed down on the pedal and swerved back onto the road. In the windshield, I watched Harry throw the handcuffs to the ground. It was like he was a little kid throwing a tantrum because his mommy took away his toy. “Kids these days, they don’t know when to stop.” I shook my head, grinning as Zayn snored. * “Hey dip weed. We’re here.” I poked Zayn in his side and he yelped, sitting up. He looked like a lost puppy with how confused he was. He unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door. “So no thanks?” I teased. He turned to look at me and smiled. “Thank you, taylor.” “No problem.” I waited for him to walk up to the front door, but he just stood there, hesitating. “What’s wrong?” I frowned. “Do you think you could pick me up in an hour?” He scratched the back of his neck and bit his lip. I narrowed my eyes. “Why? This is Harry’s car, I can’t keep it forever.” Although I wouldn’t mind it. I have to admit, the black Audi R8 Coupe was a pretty rad car. I stroked the wheel lovingly, and I could have sworn a purr was rising in my throat. Zayn cleared his throat and I looked at him. “This isn’t my house. It’s my friend Tommie’s house.” He explained nervously. “I don’t have a ride home.” I moaned. “Can’t you just call up one of your virginity-stealing buddies to come get you instead?” Zayn shook his head. “The thing is by the time I’m done, they’ll be passed out in some girl’s bed.” I sighed. “Okay. Do you have my number?” He nodded. “Text me when you’re ready for me to come get you.” His whole face lit up. “Thanks taylor!” He called over his shoulder, already ringing the door bell. I watched a girl in tight, short clothing practically drag Zayn into her house. I guess that was my cue to leave, so I backed out of the drive way. What was I going to do for the next hour? My stomach growled and as if it were the answer to all of my prayers, I instantly pulled out my phone. I held it up to my ear as it rang. “Hello?” I grinned and leaned back in my seat. “Hey shannon, wanna meet me at McDonalds?” IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 7 I sat in the car, humming. I’d been here for ten minutes and there was no sign of shannon. That’s when my phone started going off. I groaned and looked to see Zayn was calling. An hour hadn’t passed, but I guess time flies when you’re having fun, right? “taylor, can you pick me up?” I heard a girl giggling in the background.

“I’ll be there in a few.” I mumbled, hanging up. Where was shannon? * I rang the door bell and stood there, glancing around the dark neighborhood. The door opened and Zayn stepped out, a girl clutching onto his arm while another girl disappeared into a room. Zayn slammed the door shut and slung his arm around the girl. I gasped. “shannon?” “Hey!” She smiled. “Instead of McDonalds, let’s go to the club!” I frowned and looked at Zayn. Was he sleeping with my best friend? Were we even old enough to go to a club? He just shrugged and I sighed. “Get in the car.” I muttered. shannon shook her head. “Have you ever been to a club before? You can’t go dressed like that.” She wrinkled her nose and I looked down at my sweats and shirt. They seemed okay to me. “I think aoife has dresses we can use for tonight. Come with me!” She giggled, grabbing my arm and dragging me inside the house. * “Taylor !!shannon held up a mirror and I frowned. She had curled my dark hair to where they fell in perfect ringlets down my back and added smoky eye shadow to my eyelids to make them ‘pop’. I tried to pull my dress down – it was short, tight, low-cropped, and hugged all the wrong areas. The only thing that was close to being comfortable was the black high heels, and even those were a pain. I stumbled onto the front porch and Zayn caught my arm to steady me. “Does this dress make me look fat?” I twisted around and he just laughed and opened the car door. I climbed into the driver seat and shannon and Zayn slid into the back. I wasn’t the happiest with the seat arrangements, but I wasn’t going to complain. I was perfectly fine being in the front alone. Twenty minutes later, I pulled up at the club shannon told me to go to. She opened the door and started to climb out. “Aren’t we going to find a parking spot?” I bit my lip. She glanced at me. “You find one and meet us inside.” “shannon!” I frowned. “Are we even old enough?” “Nope, but ryan will let you in anyways.” Zayn gave her a nudge as he grew impatient, so she hopped out and waved. Aren’t my friends the best? * Ten minutes and two parking lots away from the club, I finally found a spot to park. By now, Zayn and shannon were probably wasted, and I wasn’t even inside yet. I started to walk, but the shoes became an instant pain in the ass. I slipped off my high heels and jogged towards the club. By the time I got to the entrance, I was out of breath. The guy, who I assumed was ‘ryan’, just let me walk straight in without even sparing me a glance. Worked for me. My eyes drifted around the club in awe. Multi-colored lights were flashing constantly and the building vibrated from the music ringing off of the walls. The clumps of people dancing made it easier to make my way towards the bar, where I spotted a giggling shannon, but no Zayn in sight. I was almost to the bar when someone put their hands on my hips and started grinding against me. “Hey! Hands off the merchandise!” I snapped, twirling around. “aaron?” I blinked. “I keep running into you.” He grinned. “I swear, if I didn’t know better, I found my own stalker.” “Ha, ha. I’d love to stay and talk to pretty boys like you, but I have places to go, and people to catch.” I saw him raise an eyebrow but didn’t stay to hear him say something else. I was swerving in and out of groups, and when I finally arrived at the bar, shannon was no where to be seen. Lucky me, right? I plopped onto one of the chairs that spun back and forth, grabbing the glass of alcohol they had set out. I took a small sip, my eyes landing on shannon’s gold dress. I was about to go after her when someone tapped on my shoulder. I spun around to come face to face with Harry. “I don’t have time for this, Styles.” “Did you like the trick with the cop car?” He grinned. “We really had you fooled, didn’t we?” I rolled my eyes. “How’d you even get the damn car in the first place? Wait, you guys aren’t under-cover cops, right?” Harry picked up a glass of alcohol and poured the whole thing into his mouth. He swallowed and his eyes practically squeezed shut. “Actually, it was a friend of mine’s dad’s car.” “Wow. That’s nice.” I tilted my head back and finished off my glass. Harry held up two fingers and we were instantly given two new glasses. “Listen Haz, I’d love to get drunk with you, but I need to find shannon.” “I’ll find her.” He offered. I was going to protest, but he was already lost in the crowd. I shrugged and turned back to face the bar counter, when someone grabbed my arm. Sure enough, I came face to face with Niall. IRRESISTIBLE // CHAPTER 8 “Come dance with me!” He demanded. I couldn’t even ask why he was so eager for a dance. I was being dragged onto the floor and he started doing the robot. I raised my eyebrow and he looked at me and grinned. “Can you do the gangnam style dance?” “I don’t even know what that is!” I bit my lip.

“Are you serious?” His mouth was practically hanging open. “You might wanna close your trap, flies could nest in there.” I teased. Niall shut his mouth but ran towards where the heart of the club was – the DJ. That’s when I saw the quiff and instantly knew Zayn was tonight’s DJ. Niall mouthed something and Zayn nodded. Niall slipped away from the DJ booth and made his way towards me. Some unfamiliar song started to blast out of the speakers. “Just follow my lead!” He yelled. “Is this song even American?” I shrieked. Niall just grinned and started doing what looked like galloping. He went from his left foot to his right, then back to his left foot twice. He had his arms crossed and already had gathered a small crowd. “Come on! Dance with me!” He yelled. I frowned and tried to copy what he was doing. “Right, left, right, right!” He explained. “It’s easy!” I took in a deep breath and started doing what he instructed. All of a sudden, Niall started waving his right arm in the air. “Do the lasso!” He instructed. After a few seconds he went to his knee. I didn’t realize it, but after we’d been dancing for at least a minute, a crowd had built up and started dancing with us. We all clapped and went back to hopping from foot to foot. Zayn held a microphone up to his mouth and attempted to sing along. “Ayeeee sexay laday! Op, op op op, oppa gangnam style!” When the song finished, Niall laughed as everyone went back to their groups. “You’re sweating!” He grinned. “That isn’t a dance, it’s a work out!” I complained. I couldn’t help it though, I smiled at him. He seemed shocked. “What?” I frowned. Was something in my teeth? I don’t think I needed deodorant yet. “Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?” He asked. I rolled my eyes and he just shook his head. “I’m going to go get us drinks.” I nodded and watched him leave when I felt someone’s heavy breathing on my neck. “The word of the day is legs. Let’s go back to my place and spread the word.” I turned around to see Louis smiling at me sweetly. “The word of the day is dead. That's what you'll be if you don't leave.” I snapped. He threw his arms in the air. “Calm your tits, taylor! I just wanna have some fun!” I shook my head. “Fun’s over. Leave, Lou.” “You gave Niall a chance. Give me one! Please!” He whined. I sighed and allowed him to take my hand. His face lit up and he dragged me to the middle of the dance floor. “Just follow my lead, okay?” He whispered in my ear. I nodded, and I won’t lie, I was excited. He started rubbing up against me, settling his hands on my hips. I let loose and started swinging my hips back and forth. Louis pulled me close to him and his hands rested on my butt. “Was your dad a baker? Cause you’ve got the nicest set of buns I’ve ever seen.” He smirked at me, but I pulled away from him. I shook my head. “No. My dad's a policeman. He's got the nicest jail cell you'll ever see if you don't get away from me.” I started to walk towards the exit, wanting to go home. “taylor, wait!” Louis yelled. I knew he wasn’t going to chase after me, though. Some girl would come along and distract him, and he’d completely forget about me. I pushed the door open and walked outside, the cold wind blasting in my face. I instantly started to shiver, but kept moving. I heard someone call my name, but I didn’t look back. No one I wanted to see was at this club. “taylor, slow down!” Liam hollered. He jogged towards me. When he was right in front of me, he ran his fingers through his short dark hair. “Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes?” I frowned. “For you to go away and leave me alone.” I turned around to continue my walk to Harry’s car when Liam gently grabbed my arm. He held out his jacket. “Take it. Please.” I waited for him to pull it back before I could reach for it. He’d probably slip it on, laugh, and yell ‘sike!’ But he didn’t. He just continued to hold it out for me to take. For the first time ever, something inside me melted when I looked at him. I almost took the jacket, but it was as if something slapped my senses back into me. I blinked and looked to see a car pull up to the curb. “taylor, come on!” Lauren shouted, leaning over the driver’s seat. I bit my lip and glanced between Liam and Lauren. It was either the boy determined to get into my pants, or my best friend who tried to help him get into my pants. I swallowed and started to walk towards the car. Chicks before dicks, right?
