Erm... So... Basically (One Direction Fan Fic)

Chapter 3

We made our ways into the hotel where Paul escorted everyone in, people were noticing Lyla and I now and I could tell she was a little nervous about it, so I did what I had to do. I stood up tall, and walked like Paul. Completely mimicked him to the point where fan girls watching starting laughing and taking videos, I really hoped I would end up being made into a gif. None of the boys turned around except for Harry, who ended up doing his signature laugh where he laughs so hard that his eyes are completely shut. I giggled also, and then of course, Paul turned around.

“Great…” He said, “You boys brought back a replica of you all, just cuter.”

A compliment from Paul? What a day. I thought.

    We entered the room and there sat Zayn and Liam, Liam sitting up perfectly straight on the couch and Zayn laying on the floor, they looked at us curiously, wondering why these two girls were here. They gave each other a grin and leaped up to say hello.

“So are these the newest girls, Harry?” They joked teasing.

“You know I haven’t done that in forever guys! Besides, Niall found them.” He said rather seriously.

Liam pointed to Niall and scrunched his eyebrows.

Niall nodded and said, “Well, Marilyn sort of found me, and then Lyla showed up which was a bonus.”

“Lies.” I said. “Niall practically begged me to come, he baited me with food and music, how could I refuse.” I said sarcastically, then gave a cheeky grin. All the boys laughed and figured I was ready to give as much banter to them as they were going to give to me.

“She’s sassy. I approve.” Laughed Louis. I turned to see Harry smiling at me, I smiled back and ran my fingers through my bangs. I assumed me and Harry had an inside joke now after the Paul thing, we were friends! Sick. Niall then jumped in front of me in the line of my eye contact with Harry, then pulled me aside away from everyone, and had the biggest smile on his face “Okay! So I was thinking we’d have a bonfire later and sing songs and stuff! We can all get all comfy in pj’s and stuff and it will be great fun!” Niall was so enthusiastic. My smile grew wider and wider until I found myself easying up to ask, “Why… like… I’m nothing special. And you’re getting so excited to help Lyla and I have a fun time. You could have said thank you to me at the shop and went on your way, but you didn’t… why?” He looked at me with those sparkling blue eyes and got very, very close to my face. My blue green eyes and his beautiful pale blue ones met and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. He then stuck his finger up to my face, and poked my little nose and laughed. now he put his hands on my shoulders and distanced himself to say these simple, two words that, as Olly would put it, made my heart skip a beat.

“You’re special!”

    What was it about me that Niall thought was special? I was just some girl he barely knew, that just so happened to sing in front of him, and talk to him like a normal person… it really wasn’t that different. But him saying that gave me the urge to give him a hug, I had always wanted a Horan hug, and I felt like this was a decent time. So without a word a lunged toward him and wrapped my arms around his neck and dug my face into him, for this was a Marilyn hug, I hoped it did him justice. He gasped when I did it, I don’t think he was expecting it because it took him a second to react. Then I slowly felt his arms wrap around my waist and he pulled me in closer to him. It was really nice.

The hug lasted for a good 6 seconds before I pulled away.

“No one’s ever said that to me before and actually looked like they meant it, and you barely even know me… thanks.” I said smiling, almost getting emotional. But I knew I couldn’t get emotional, I didn’t want Niall to see me vulnerable… not now…
