 *Rikke's POV*

I woke up to my phone buzzing under my pillow. I looked at the screen and saw Eleanor's name.

"Hello" I answered, still half asleep.

"Hi Riks" she said happily "Wait a second, are you still seeping?"

"I was... but someone ruined that" I mumbled.

"Yes, and I'm glad I did, it's almost noon!"

"Yeah and I like sleeping. And I'm going back to sleep now, if that's okay with you..." I groaned.

"No it's not Rikke! I need to talk to you. I've heard something about you and Niall kissing last night?"

Last night tumbled over me and suddenly I was awake "I'm so gonna kill Zayn!"

"Haha, you'll get used to it, those boys can't keep a secret from each other" she laughed.

"No, I see"

"You wanna do something today?" she asked "Maybe go shopping?"

"I don't really feel like leaving my flat... What if you came over here?" I asked "I could show you the pictures I took of the boys the other day."

"Sounds great. I'll be there in an hour!"

She hung up and I checked my phone. I've gotten two messages, one from Zayn and one from Niall. Zayn told me to go for it and Niall wrote goodnight. I told Zayn to shut up and then stood out of bed to take a shower. Since it didn't took me long to get ready, I started up my laptop and transferred the pictures from the camera to my PC. I took a quick look trough the pictures and froze at the picture of Niall. Just the thought of last night made my heart race. Before I got to deep buried in my thoughts, someone knocked at the door. 

"Hi babe" Eleanor said as she hugged me.

"Hey El" I replied. I had a feeling that this would be a good day. And crazy enough I felt good with Eleanor, I didn't knew her yet, but I liked her. She was great.

We sat down on my bed and talked about everything and nothing. It was nice talking with another girl than Mie, especially Eleanor, she was just so easy to talk to and the awkward silence didn't excised with her. I felt like I had known her for a longer time than I actually had. But as soon as she began to talk about Niall, I found my computer and started to show her the pictures of the boys. She gave me a strict look, just to tell me that this wasn't the end of that talk which I just laughed off.

As I leafed through the pictures, she got more and more excited. 

"Wow these pictures are really good Rikke! Like, really good!"

"Thanks" I said with a shy smile. It made me happy. 

She kept on saying things like "Oh look at this picture of Liam" and "Louis looks good here"

After a time I said "I've thought about something"

"What?" she said, still looking at the pictures.

"I was just thinking, maybe I could take some pictures of you?"

"You wanna take pictures of me? Why?" she said, now looking at me.

"Because you are really really pretty El, you would be a perfect model" I said.

"I don't really know about that" her cheeks were a little pink.

"I have some pictures from a photo shoot I once had with a friend, if you wanna see? I thought that we maybe could do something like that... Or... the pictures we took were pretty extreme, but you know, just a photo shoot" I said, trying to convince her.

"Well, show me the pictures" she said. "So you are gonna be at the pictures too?" 

I found the pictures I had "Sure, if you want me to" I said. The pictures I showed her were all taken in B/W and the only thing we were wearing was some black underpants. I had painted our bodies like a lot of different things, and the pictures were actually pretty good.

"Stop" she said at a picture of me standing against a wall, covering my breasts with my hands, my hair stood straight up in the air and my make-up was kinda wild. "OMG Rikke, this picture is amazing! Niall should totally see it! You look really sexy" 

"Haha, yeah right" I said.

"No seriously, he really should see it. Can I show him?" she asked.

"No way!!"

She laughed at me but suddenly she was all serious. "You like him, don't you?"

"I... I ehm..." Yes I do. I really like him. But I couldn't tell her. Instead I said "It takes a long time for me, letting people in. And with Niall it's just really hard, because it's like there is this thing about him that makes me wanna tell him all my deepest secrets and it really scares me" 

"Louis said something about you and not trusting other people, but he told me that he had promised you not to tell anyone" she said with a frown "You wanna tell it to me?" 

"I feel very happy today, and I don't wanna ruin it... Is it okay if Louis tells you?" I asked.

"Yeah of course Riks. And we'll just talk about Niall later then, yeah?"

"If you insist" I said with a smile.

We went down in the city to get some lunch. Suddenly the clock was 4 and Eleanor had to get ready for a date with Louis.

"I'll talk with him tonight" she said while hugging me goodbye.

"Thanks. Call me when you're done, okay?"

"Sure" she said and gave me another hug before she went home.
