In Your Dreams

Chapter 27

Louis lets out a small squeal and hides behind Eleanor, thinking that he is no longer in the security guard's sight. All the other boys expressions are a mixture of nervousness and fear. Why are they so scared?

"Um.. hi Paul," Liam says nervously to the bigger man of the two. Seriously is this a man of a freaking skyscraper? Maybe he just seems like that because he's so intimidating.

"Heard you boys have been busy today," Paul says, his face set in stone, the other one of the boys bodyguard's mimicking his expression.

I think it is fair to say that I am beginning to feel a little nervous, as are the other girls. Well all of them apart from Eilidh. She is sitting in the sofa opposite me sending me bored looks and expressions that say 'seriously?'

When none of the boys reply to Paul's statement his jaw clenches as he stares each of the boys down, making them slump down in their seats, as if ashamed. "What have I told you boys about going anywhere without a bodyguard?!"

"Sorry Paul," they all mumble.

Paul only seems to become angrier even with their apology. "No, sorry isn't going to cut it this time. You do this all-"

"Actually it was us that asked the boys to take us to The Statue of Liberty," I say suddenly, not even realising that I am taking the blame on the boys behalf here. Seeming to notice my presence for the first time, Paul gives me a questioning look.

"And who exactly are you?" He asks rather rudely.

I scrunch my face up at his tone, it somehow reminding me of the way Jessica speaks to me. But I push the memories to the back of my mind and put on my best smile to show Paul that I am not a fangirl out to the the boys. "I'm Rebecca Clarke. The winner of the contest to meet One Direction."

The confusion disappears from his face and is instantly replaced with a smile. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" he asks as he holds his hand out for me to shake.

I let out a breath I didn't even realise I had been holding and take his hand in mine. "I don't know. Nice to meet you."

"Yes I know it's absolutely amazing to meet me, now let's talk."

The amount of thhanks I keep getting from the boys is unbelievable. I saved their butts back there. If it wasn't for me, Paul probably would have ended their career there and then. Apparently they do this sort of thing a lot - going places without bodyguards- so I can see how it frustrates Paul.

But after our little talk together, I now have a better undertsanding of Paul and his personality. That angry side to him I saw earlier was just him taking out his frustration with the boys on me. But he is actually really nice and is easy to get along with and talk to.

Unfortunately soon after and definitely too soon for me and the girls liking, we were told to go home and get some rest for the day of shopping ahead of us with Eleanor and Danielle tomorrow. I called for Sebastian to come and pick us all up and we said a rather sad goodbye to the boys probably fearing that this is all a fantastic dream and we are going to wake up tomorrow and never meet the boys again. I even got a hug from the boys and a cheeky peck on the cheek from Harry, which he stole without my permission. Not that I minded in the slightest.

Now the girls and I are sitting in out hotel room, speaking about the day's events. We all laugh uncontrollable about Louis' childish behaviour and the boy's personalities behind the fame, still in utter disbelief that we have actually met them.

"Zayn totally likes you," I state matter-of-factly to Zoe.

She blushes at my statement and tries to deny it. "Don't be silly, of course he doesn't... do you really think he does?"

We all burst out laughing at her which only causes her cheeks to flame a brighter shade of red than they already are.

"Becca's not the only one that's observant you know. I noticed the way he looks at you too Zo, it's the same way you look at him," Natasha says, taking us all by surprise. We hadn't really heard her speak all day so just hearing her voice was a big relief. Hopefully she would be more herself tomorrow.

"Well then he must be a crazy stalker because I'm pretty that's the way I look at him most of the time," she says and we all burst into fits of laughter again.

"Don't think you two are the only ones that take notice of things," Eilidh says as she points towards Natasha and I. "Zoe and I noticed something rather interesting ourselves."

A smirk is on Eilidh's face as she says this and I instantly know that the conversation is heading in my direction. 

"Niall has taken a shine to our very own Becca Boo here," Eilidh says as she points a finger at me.

I wave her statement off. "Don't be silly of course he doesn't."

"Looks like you're not that observant then," Eilidh says with a smug smile on her face.

I just shug like her comment hasn't affected me in the slightest, like it isn't that big of a deal. But on the inside, I am freaking out. What if she is being completely serious? I mean yeah, Niall is adorable, funny, a fantastic singer, has a great personality and has one hell of an appetite but would I really go out with him? Well I know for a fact I would never turn him down... what am I even saying?! I'm dating Nathan, a boy who I have liked for years and have finally gotten the oppurtunity to go out with.

"Doesn't matter if he does anyway, I'm with Nathan," I say to remind them that I actually have a boyfriend.

"Yeah I know but it's Niall. A boy who we have fantasised about being with ever since we first laid eyes on One Direction on the X Factor. Wouldn't you give up Nathan to be with Niall?" Natasha asks as though the answer is obvious.

I start to get a little annoyed. Yeah, Niall may be famous, but I've known Nathan my whole life. I can't just throw that away because some famous Irish boy takes a fancy to me.

"But Nathan gave up a whole lot to be with me. What if things with Niall didn't work out, which they probably wouldn't since the boys travel all the time, what would I do then? I would have given up a fantastic relationship to be with a far too famous popstar."

"But-"

"Right, I think it's time for bed. It's been a long day and we're starting to get a little aggrivated and bitchy," Eilidh says, breaking up the argument that was sure to go down if she hadn't stepped in.

"You're right, I'm sorry Becca. Of course you should be with Nathan, we don't even know for certain that Niall likes you. Just ignore me and follow your heart,"Natasha says, wrapping her arms around me in a hug. I return it ans smile at her as she and Zoe leave to go to their bedroom.

Eilidh and I get changed for bed and flop down onto our beds. I close my eyes and muurmur a goodnight to Eilidh, which she returns.

I've just about droppes off into a sleep when Eilidh says. "I'm not lying Becca, Niall likes you. You just need to pay attention. Give him a chance and get to know him before you go making any decisions. Turst me, they might be the most important ones of your life when it comes to him, I know it."

I can't help but let Eilidh's words bounce around in my head before I drift into a dreamless sleep, not realising how very true her words would turn out to be.
