After our coffee breakfast, Niall and I walked to the hotel the boys had gone too.

'Hey Cass....you wanna play a joke on them?' Niall asked, a mischevious twinkle in his eyes.

'Sure, what you thinking of?' I replied, turning to face him.

'Well, we can either pretend we're not talking, or we can do the opposite...which is, well yeah.' he nervously mumbled the last part.

I laughed, continuing to walk down the street.

'How about we pretend, that, I...ate some of your food, then they'll be all sad, cause we didn't get together, but them we can fake make out, and they'll be all confused' I said, muffling a giggle.

He laughed along, showing his beautiful smile.

We rounded the corner, and entered the hotel.

'Hello, The Hilton London, how can I help?' the smily receptionist asked.

'Um, do you know what room Rob Zakoni is?' Niall said, glancing at his phone.

'Room 235' the woman said, still not changing her monotone chant..

We walked away, and got into the elevator. before I burst out laughing.

'Rob? Zakoni?' I said between giggles.

'I know it's a crap name!' Niall said joining into my laughter.

I leant on him, my legs going weak with laughter.

He held onto me...before my laughter stopped and I looked into his eyes. He didn't take his eyes of me, he leant in.....

He coughed, and mumbled 'this is out floor' and the doors to the elevator opened.

I sighed. He is so confusing.

I walked towards the room 235 just in time to see Niall knock on the door.

'Showtime' he said smiling at me, this boy is so confusing, he nearly kisses me and then acts like nothing happened?!

I heard Louis from behind the door, the door knob wobbled and we were faced with a grinning Louis.

'Well hello lovebirds- oh' he said, disappointed with our angry faces.

Niall stormed in, playing along with the act well, I followed, maintaining my distance from him.

I looked around the room to see the faces of the other boys, joined by Niamh and Dani.

They all looked confused and slightly disappointed.

I muffled the giggle that was desperately trying to escape my mouth.

'Well, mind if I sit?' I asked, nodding to the space next to Harry.

'Oh yeah um sure' Harry replied, caught of guard.

I sat myself down next to him, and I could feel Nialls eyes on me.

'Can we at least know what happened?' Louis asked, after seating us all down in a circle.

'Fine....we woke up, and I looked around and found that she had eaten my chocolate stash on my dressing table' the boys winced, obviously remembering what Niall got like when people ate his food.

He fake glared at me, before smirking slightly so I knew he was joking. I felt butterflies, but ignored the feeling, blaming it on hunger.

I pretended to roll my eyes, whilst the everyone looked at me.

'Ok Cass, you didn't know that Niall was protective over foo.....' I heard Louis continue,

but I didn't concentrate, I was so distracted by Niall who kept winking at me and flashing funny faces.

'So just a misunderstanding' Harry concluded, and I nodded, as though I had heard everything.

Suddenly Niall was up from the sofa and charging towards me, I smiled at the thought of what we had agreed the plan was, Step 2: Confuse them with our sudden affection

He lunched at me, but Louis grabbed onto his arm, restraining him.

'Lou, it's fine, let me talk to him in private' I said, as I loosened Louis grip.

Louis nodded, reluctantly letting go.

I led Niall into another room, and as soon as the door was closed, we both fell into a fit of giggles.

We were on the floor laughing so much, I'd never been so happy in my life.

We walked over to the door eager to hear the conversation....we pressed our ears against the door, and listened.

Louis voice was louder than the others so easier to hear.

'Guys...I was sure....Niall said he......and they are......for each other....'

'Cass....been through a lot...been happy...with him' Niamh voice said gently but loudly.

I awkwardly stood back from the door, realising Niall had heard that I was happy with him.

I faced the other way, my hands round my stomach....I closed my eyes, and tried to disappear.

I felt a hand slip into mine and I was spun around.

I was face to face with Niall Horan. Our noses were about to touch, our bodies pressed tightly together.

'Niall, you confuse me' I said honestly.

'Why?' even when he whispered, I could feel his breath on my neck.

'Because you act all dreamy and amazing at first, and then you just disappear. you've had plenty opportunity to kiss me, or hold me, yet you don't I said, looking him in the eye.

'Cass, I know about your past, I asked Niamh, I know it would take you a while to trust me...I didn't want to risk it, or give myself the temptation.'

'What if I gave the temptation to you. Said yes?' I replied, my gaze deepening.

'Well, I wouldn't be able to deny it' he replied, his lips brushing mine.

'Niall Horan, I say yes'

I crashed my lips onto his, his warm lips pushing against mine.

His strong arms pull me closer, my arms around his neck and in his hair.

'I KNEW IT' Louis screams, but we ignore it.

Too busy in our own slice of happiness.
