During the second interview I decided to go to the bus and spruce up a bit. My hair was in a ponytail that morning. I hadn't done anything to it, so I quickly curled it. I also fixed my makeup. I had just done it enough to make it where I didn't look like a tomato-faced hobo this morning. I had white eyeshadow on already, so I put a brown eyeshadow in my crease to give it a little something extra. I put on another layer of eyeliner, winging it out. I changed my clothes because I just had on some jeans and a t-shirt. I wasn't expecting to go site seeing Rome with Niall, so I had just dressed enough to fix their hair for the interview. I put on a white dress with a floral kimono. You might call it a cardigan, but I say kimono. My shoes were some brown wedge booties. As for accessories, I wore a simple necklace and a watch with a few bracelets. I checked the time and it was almost 11:45. The interview was supposed to be over at noon. Since I had time and nothing else to do I quickly painted my nails a light blue. By the time I was done it was 11:53, so I just sat on the couch and messed around on my phone.

"Hey I'm gunna go get something from my bus. I'll pick you up at yours and we can go get lunch. Okay?" Niall texted me.
"Okay!! 😊" I replied.

•• Niall's POV ••

I text Aspyn letting her know that I had to go to the bus really quick and then I'd be ready. Once I got into the bus I decided to change my shirt. I put on a white t-shirt and a little vest thing over it. I sprayed on some cologne and grabbed my phone, keys, and wallet.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked.
"Me and Aspyn are going to look around and hang out," I smiled.
"Oh really?" Louis raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Yeah," I smiled even bigger. I started to the door and waved goodbye. "Later guys!"
"Bye!" They all said in unison.

I walked over to Aspyn's bus. My hand shaking of nerves, I knocked on the door. I didn't know who was in there or what they were doing, so I figured I better knock, before just walking in.

•• Aspyn POV ••

I heard a knock on the door. I sat there for a second and then opened it. What? I didn't want to open it as soon as he knocked and then seem like I was desperate or something.

"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey. You ready?" He said returning a smiling.
I turned to grab my purse and phone. "Yep." I walked out the door, but stopped and turned. "Hey, Carmen?" I yelled.
"Yeah?"
"Will you shut the door please?" The doors on the bus had to be opened and closed with a button, which was only on the inside.
"Yeah sure." She didn't yell that time, for she had walked into the room.
"Thanks, girly!" I smiled at her showing gratitude.
"No problem. Have fun!" With that we waved and the door shut. I turned to face Niall."
"So where are we going?" I asked. We started walking, but I didn't know where to.
"It's a surprise." Niall looked at me and smiled big. We kept walking and eventually stopped at a car. He had keys in his hand and unlocked it.
I gave a confused look. "Um.. Whose car is this?" I knew it wasn't his. We've been on the bus. Only a few workers had cars that they drove on tour. Only like two people did though, and this car wasn't either of theirs.

"I called the nearest car rental and had them drop it off. They gave the keys to Caleb and he held 'em for me while I was in the interview." Caleb is their bus driver, by the way.

I nodded my head, "Ohhhh. Okay." I started to walk to the passenger side when Niall quickly got in front of me. He pulled open the door and held it as I crawled in. "Thank you." I blushed.

Niall walked around the front of the car and got in himself. "Are you hungry?" He started the car and started to back out.
"I'm starving!" I replied. I watched out the window as we started to drive. As I have said before, Italy was beautiful.
"Good. I know a restaurant that has amazing food."
During the ride to the restaurant we talked about different foods that we liked, which isn't surprising when Niall is around. After about 15 minutes we arrived at this really nice restaurant. It was called Castello. I know it means castle, but why would they name a restaurant that.
"Why would they name a restaurant Castello?" I asked Niall. We were walking towards the front doors.
"Because they want you to feel special in this place. They like to treat their customers like royalty. The place itself might not be much, but the service and food here is outstanding."
"Oh cool." I smiled. That explains a lot. We walked in and there was a young guy standing at a podium.
"Quanti?" He asked. He was asking "how many?"
I wandered how Niall would reply. Would he answer in English or Italian? "Due, per favore." He replied. Well, that answered my question.
