A/N: So sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple of days I've been super busy. I want to thank you all for the nice comments on the last couple of chapters, I'm so glad you like this story because I love writing it. To make up for the fact I haven't posted in a few days this chapter is a little longer and quite eventful. Hope you like it! Oh and please keep commenting your comments make my day!

The rest of the week goes by fast. I go to One Direction's band practices and watch them. They're really good and I love seeing Niall do something he's so passionate about and proud of.

Lou and Harry have been closer than ever. The rest of us started calling them Larry Stylinson, which is kind of smooshing their two names together to make one name because at this point they are basically one person.

Today I go to Big Ben with Niall and tomorrow I go shopping with Gemma, Harry, and Louis. Back home, I didn't really have busy weekends I just stayed home watching Netflix or writing short stories. Now I have a reason to go out. I have friends.

I smile as I look in the closet for clothes.

I pick ripped high wasted jeans and a cropped sweater. I put my long dirty blonde hair into a ponytail and take a look in the mirror.

I put a little bit of makeup on which I only do on special occasions and spray some perfume and I'm ready to go.

I put on my converse and grab my purse just as he texts me that he's here. I smile when I get out the door and see his car. Today's gonna be a great day.

"You look nice," Niall says once I get in the car. "I mean you always look nice but you look especially nice today. I'm not always like looking to see how nice you look I just-"

"Niall," I say cutting him off. "I get it, thank you," I say with a smile.

"Oh, you're welcome," he says, seemingly nervous.

He turns on the radio and the entire way to the Big Ben we blast early 2000s pop and scream the lyrics. At one point I absentmindedly grabbed his hand and we stayed the rest of the way to the Big Ben. It was nice, his hands are so warm and soft.

He parks the car and turns the radio down.

"You ready to climb all the way to the top?" he says, pointing to the clock that says it's 12:15.

"Hell yeah," I say, with a grin.

We get inside and look up at the stairs. It looks never-ending. Like I'll start climbing up the stairs and never stop.

"You sure you wanna do this," Niall asks, his voice unsure.

"I'll race you!" I say running up the stairs.

"Hey!" he calls after me, trying to catch up.

I get tired and stop running quickly and Niall does too so we start trudging up the stairs at the same pace chuckling.

"So... uh do you have a boyfriend back home?" Niall asks, stumbling a little on his words.

"No, I've never really... had a boyfriend," I shrug.

"Wait really?" he asks, sounding shocked.

"Yeah, why is that so surprising?" I ask.

"Because you're beautiful," Niall says before clapping a hand over his mouth. I look over to see him blushing like crazy and chuckle.

"Thanks, Ni," I say nudging him a little with my elbow. "What about you? Gemma told me you just got out of a serious relationship," I say.

"Oh... um yeah it was... rough... but I'm fine now," he says.
