Tough Decisions

Real Hot

1 Day Til Ireland...

I woke up and felt myself slowly rising and falling. I opened my eyes to see Niall below me, arms gently wrapped around me. I thought it was all a dream, but I guess not. Sneakily, I tried to move out of bed to get freshened up and make some breakfast, however, Niall spoke in a whisper, "Where are you going love?" His voice made my knees weak, "Off to make some breakfast for the most handsome Irishboy I have ever met." He giggled and nodded and began to get up, "Um, where do you think your going?" I asked. "To help you make breakfast, where else?" he said. "I don't need your help, go back to bed." I told him. "Food was mentioned so now I can't go to sleep." he said almost sarcastically, but I knew it was true. 

He sat at the table, while I began to cook some breakfast. He sat with his face in his hands with a colorful smirk, "What?" I asked questioningly. "Your really cute when you cook, ya know that, right?" his Irish accent made me melt. I giggled and accepted the compliment, going back to cooking. When I was finished, I had set up the plates, both containing 2 pieces of toast cut diagonally, 3 strips of bacon,  and and omlet with ham and cheese. "This looks delicious love." he commented. "Thanks, I used to make this exact same breakfast for my dad everyday when he came home on 2 weeks leave from Iraq. He taught me how to make omlets the first morning, then i beat him to it every morning." I said. "Your father was in Iraq?" he asked shocked. "Yeah, he had 2 tours, the first for a year and a half, and the second for almost a year." I added.

Niall kept quiet for the rest of breakfast. I wasn't sure why, but I left him to his thoughts. Once we finished, I took the dishes and washed them and cleaned everything up. I finished straightening up the kitchen and noticed Niall hadn't moved. "Babe? Are you okay?" I asked concerned. "Yeah, it's just-just-, I'm sorry." he said shaking his head. "What are you sorry for?" I asked confused. "You had  to deal with your dad being gone, not knowing if he would come back, not knowing if you would ever see him again." he said. "I made it through and so did he. He is alive and I am grateful for that. Some kids aren't as lucky as me to have their father come back." I said. He nodded and looked down at the ground. "You get to meet him tomorrow." I said. He had forgotten we go to Ireland tomorrow together. "I meant to tell you he apologizes for not getting to meet you when you first came to our house, he was at work and couldn't come home." I added. He looked excited, "I can't wait to meet him. I strongly admire his dedication to his country. And there is no need for him to apologize, I still get to meet him." he happy said.

Niall and I got ready for the day and packed up our things for the most part. We went to get the other guys rooms and they were all still sleeping. I decided to have some fun with this, and so did Niall. We quick went down to the hotel gift shop and bought an air horn. First, we went to Zayn's room. Poor Zayn, lets see how much of a bod boy he is after this. I put the coffee table of his room above him on the bed, so the legs were on either side of him. Niall hit the air horn and Zayn's head flew up and he hit his head off the coffee table. Niall and I immediately started laughing, so hard that we fell to the floor. Zayn looked at us in utter disappointment. I went over and kissed his cheek. He went to lay back down and we let him. I moved the coffee table back and we headed over to Liam's part of the room. This time. I went on top of him with my legs on either side and Niall laughed. He sounded the air horn and Liam flew up. He wrapped his arms around me in a death grip, hugging me so tight. I laughed and Niall commented, "Let go of my las mate, she's mine only." Liam didn't even realize it was me, he apologized and laid back down. I laughed at him and told him to go back to bed.

We continued to wake up the boys, heading over to Louis and Harry's room. Boobear was already awake, booo he is no fun, but Harry wasnt, so we had to get him good. I went to the fridge and found some whip cream, why would Harry and Louis have whipped cream? Larry moment perhaps? Just kidding. I pulled out a premade pie crust, Harry does love to cook and worked in a bakery, so that explains that. I filled the pie crust with whipped cream and was trying to contain my laughter. Boobear and Nialler were on the floor laughing. I told Niall to get ready as I positioned the pie above Harry's head. Niall sounded the horn and Harry's face flew up into the pie. I fell to the floor, laughing the hardest I had ever laughed. The boys all stopped and stared at me. I immediately tried to stop laughing, but I couldn't. The reason they were looking at me was because I had the most embarassing laugh on the Planet. They all broke out into laughter, causing me to blush and hide my face. "Aw, I'm sorry love, your laugh is just so funny." Niall said. I went back to our room because I had to laugh some more. I hated my laugh, especially when I did it infront of my biggest crush.

Niall came into our room with a worried look on his face. "Love? Don't be mad. We didn't mean to hurt your feelings." he pleaded. "You didn't hurt my feelings, I know I have a funny laugh, trust me, it's pretty embarassing." I told him. "Well, I think it is adorable." he added. I blushed and giggled. We decided to go out to a nearby ice cream parlor. We walked hand in hand, fingers interwined. I was blushing, I knew he noticed. I was wearing jeans and and PINK hoodie with a sports bra underneath and black crocheted uggs. I wanted to be comfortable today. I had my hair in a high pony and had my glasses on. I was comfortable, but I knew I looked disgusting. Niall squeezed my hand and I looked up at him, "Penny for your thoughts?" he asked. "Just thinking about how comfortable I am, even though I look like utter crap." I told him honestly. He shook his head as we walked into the ice cream parlor. "Your perfect to me." he whispered in my ear. I blushed and smiled at the ground. The woman working there was in her 50's I would say, and she had the biggest smile on ther face, "What can I get for the happy couple today?" she asked. I blushed at her assumption of us being a couple. I waited for Niall to deny it and say we were just friends, but he didn't. "2 Large Chocolate in a cup." he ordered for me. I laughed at the fact that he remember what I told him when we first started talking, I like chocolate ice cream the most in a cup, I don't like cones. She nodded and went to work, getting our ice cream for us. The shop was empty besides me, Niall, and the woman.

After paying and finishing our ice cream, we said goodbye to the lady, and began walking back to the hotel. We got in out room and were greeted by four farmiliar faces, all with devilish looks. Zayn looked and us with the scariest smirk I have ever seen in my entire life. I got closer to Niall because I was afraid what might happen. All the boys came over and put a hand on my back. "Guys look what you've done, you scared her to death." Niall said protectively, keeping me hugged tight in his arms. "We're sorry, Lauren, we thought it would be funny to get you back, kinda as a going away present, but we never meant to scare you." they apologized. I turned my head and nodded and went into Niall and my room to get changed into some yoga pants. "Where do you think your going?" Harry asked. "Down to the gym, I need to burn the calories from that large ice cream I just had." I simply added and trotted out of the room. While waiting for the elevator, all the boys came out in cut-offs and basketball shorts. I assumed they were coming with me. We got in the elevator and headed to the gym. I  headed over to start lifting some weights and the boys looked at me in shock. "I am a cheerleader, ya know?" I said. They looked at me and shook their heads. "I lift girls about the same weight as me over my head and hold her there." i said matter-of-factly.

After working out for what felt like 4 hours, but was really only an hour and a half, I was exhausted. The boys were drenched in sweat, not being weird or anything, but it was so hot. We went back up to our rooms to get showered. I called dibs to shower first and Niall sighed. I laughed and went in the bathroom, turned on the water and stripped down. As soon as I got in the shower, I heard the door open. "Niall, what do you think your doing?" I asked. "I have to pee, please can I go?" he asked. I giggled, "Yes haha go ahead, I promise I won't look." I said. I heard the toilet flush and the water scolded me. I quicked jumped out, wincing at the pain, "Sorry love, I didn't think that really happens." he pleaded. I looked at him, just realizing I was completely naked. "Um, Niall? Can you hand me a towel?" I asked awkwardly. He blushed and nodded, handing me a towel. He turned around so i could wrap it around myself. "I promise I didn't look." he said. I nodded letting him know that I didn't really care and that it was ok. He shut off the water, so we could let it cool down.
