AJ POV

They turned and looked at me wide-eyed. I grabbed both of their hands and dragged them out of the room. The door slammed behind them and I whipped around looking at them.

“Now listen here. You are both important to me. I would like it if you would stop holding grudges,” I said looking at JJ,” and I would like it if you would stop being rude.” I said looking at Harry. They looked at the ground avoiding my gaze. I let out a deep breath. “Am I clear?” they both grumbled ‘yes’. “Good.” I turned on my heel and walked out.

I stood on my toes on top of the counter, trying to reach the cup on the top shelf. My fingertips brushed the side of cup every time I reach. Finally I grabbed hold of the handle. I maneuvered my feet to turn around but ended up tripping on my own feet and tumbling onto the floor. A deep grunt let out from under me.

            “Are we just going to make it a trend for you to fall on me?” Niall said from under me. A small blush rose to my cheeks.

            “Oh so you don’t enjoy me falling on you?” I said sarcastically.

            “Of course. I love it when the wind is knocked out of me everywhere I go.”

I got off him and pulled him to his feet. The cup that was in my hand was now in a pile of cracked glass at our feet.

            “Dammit. It took me twenty minutes to get that cup down.” I groaned. He chuckled and grabbed another one for me.

            “So what have we found out about this Zack guy?” Niall grumbled changing the tone of the room.

            “Zayn,” I correct, “He’s given us a lot of useful information. He might know where Tomlinson is going to be next. And then we can be that much closer to being done with this mission.” I grinned. There was a distinct sadness in his eyes present when he heard me say this. “What’s wrong?” I asked concerned.

            “Well, when we’re done with this mission we have to…” he scratched the back of his head nervously. It suddenly dawned on me.

            “…go our separate ways.” I finished. My face scrunched up in frustration. Niall saw this I suppose because he started on a rant.

 “We could still keep in touch! You’ll still be my friend.” He said. I smiled. “And I’m almost positive that they will give us time off so we wont be shipped off immediately.” he continued. I stared at him for a second.

            “I don’t know if I want to keep in touch.” I said simply.

            “Oh. I guess I understand that-“ he said sadly. My eyes widened, that didn’t come out the way I wanted it to.

            “No, no! That’s not what I mean at all. I meant I don’t JUST want to keep in touch. I want more than that.” I explained.

            “You want to be pen pals…?” he asked quizzically. I rolled my eyes.

            “No dumbass.” I leaned in and pressed my lips against his. I could tell he was shocked at first but he soon kissed me back. There was clapping and cheering erupting from behind me. I pulled away and whipped around. Harry and JJ were standing there grinning at us like idiots. I could feel my face heating up. Niall was clearly blushing as well.

            “Finally.” Harry stated.

            “Aw Niall grew some balls.” JJ cooed.
