Our Summer of Direction

TEAM NIEM!!!!

Emilea’s POV

“I miss her already.” I joke pretending to tear up a little. Niall laughs at me and leads me back towards the house.

“What did you slip in her pocket?” Zayn asks turning to Louis. Louis and I share a look and dissolve into giggles.

“What?” Liam asks looking back at us.

“It was Emilea’s idea!” Louis starts, trying to stop laughing so much.

“What did you do?” Niall asks knowingly. I keep a straight face and then laugh again.

“Condoms.” I gasp finally.

“Come again?” Liam asks slowly.

“Louis stuck condoms in her pocket.” I laugh collapsing onto the couch.

“You guys gave them CONDOMS?? That’s like an open invitation for them to have sex!” Liam shouts looking like a parent.

“Would you rather them be unsafe?” Zayn teases, punching Liam’s shoulder.

“I’d rather them stay home!” He yells running his hands over his head.

“Easy there Daddy Direction; they’re not little kids.” Eleanor says bring everyone a soda. Liam takes Dani’s soda and comes back with water. Dani protests at first but finally takes the water and drinks some.

“Good girl.” He laughs patting her hair. We laugh at the dirty look she gives him and I crawl over to Niall.

“Sooo, how with high school be without your bff?” Niall asks slinging an arm around me.

“Awful; Katie and I have done everything together for like 15 years. We’re always together. I do hope she has fun over the next few days. I cannot believe she talked her mum into letting her miss Harvest Festival so that she could stay with a boy for a few days.” I admit, leaning against him.

“She did ask right?” Louis asks looking over at us.

“I hope so.” I say shrugging. Louis chuckles quietly and we sit in silence until Eleanor and Louis run upstairs and slam their door.

“You should probably get some rest Dan. It’s really early.” Liam coaxes, picking up Dani and carrying her upstairs.

“And then there were two.” Niall says after Zayn leaves to go call Perrie.

“I’m so impressed you can count that high!” I tease tapping his nose.

“Did you just smirk at me?” He asks raising his eyebrows.

“I did indeed Mr. Horan…I did indeed.” I say smirking again.

“Well that deserves a…TICKLE FIGHT!!!” Niall screams loudly before jumping on me and tickling me. I scream at him to stop and he grins mercilessly. I writhe and wriggle trying to break free and once again Niall shoots me a sexy smile.

“You have 10 seconds to get off of me.” I gasp trying hard not to laugh. In my head I am screaming at him just to stop tickling but not get off. God he looks hot.

“Your wish is my command.” He winks letting go of my wrists which he managed to have in his left hand while his right hand tickled me. He gets off of me and pulls me up so I am just leaning against him. He buries his face in my hair and takes a deep breath.

“Your hair smells nice…” He says after a moment. I sit in silence and get a happy grin before getting out my smartass mouth.

“Thanks…I shower every now and then. In fact I think I showered last month.” I laugh closing my eyes. I can feel Niall roll his eyes and I stifle another grin. I take a deep breath and smell his fresh cologne.

“I like this.” I say after a moment. He shifts me slightly and looks down.

“Like what?” He asks with a small smile. I look at him knowingly and he kisses my forehead before I close my eyes again.
