Truly, Madly, Deeply

Chapter 15

"Guess what?" Niall jumped on top of me, pinning my hands down on the hotel bed.

I grinned. "Getting a bit frisky? Niall, slow down." I sent him a wink as he playfully rolled his bright, irredescent eyes at me.

"You were supposed to say what."

"Sorry. What, Niall?" My lips curved up into a grin. Now that I know how I feel towards Niall, it was much easier to flirt and mess around with him. Even if we are best friends, I find myself being much more comfortable around him.

"As an apology for being so mean to you and calling you mean names, I'm taking you out tonight."

"You didn't call me mean names," I commented.

He looked down, then realized he was looking at my body underneath his. My shirt had riden up far past my belly button. Niall's cheeks heated up before quickly looking back at me.

"I did in my head."

I gasped, fidgeting so I could kick him awkwardly in the shin. "Niall!"

"Hey, I said sorry!"

"Where are you taking me?"

"I can't tell you, dollface. But dress pretty. Not fancy, pretty," Niall clarified, raising his eyebrow at me. "You could let me pick something out for -"

"Nope." I smirked up at him. "You really are the best person in the whole world."

"I know." He climbed off of me then headed for the door. I pulled my shirt down then sat up to watch him leave. "Be ready by three!"

I waited for the click signalling that the door was closed and that Niall was gone before going into sycho mode. I squealed in happiness, jumping up and down on my head like a mad woman. This was basically the way I acted when the boys had introduced me to Justin Timberlake.

Suddenly, the door opened, and in walked my twin. "Uh, are you okay?"

Caroline appeared behind her, then Lou. Both girls sent suspicious glances in my general direction. "Either she just got fucked, Adam Levine asked her out, or she's going on a date."

"The last one, the last one, the last one! Eep!" I squealed, stomping my feet happily on the hotel bed. The women that cleaned up in here would probably be pissed at me for messing up the bed.

"Who asked you out?" Lou wondered aloud. She took my mad grin as an answer. "It was Niall, wasn't it?"

I nodded giddily as Caroline made her way over to the kitchen area. "I figured. What happened to being just friends?" she questioned, appearing with a strawberry-kiwi Capri Sun.

I shrugged. "I dunno. Something just changed, you know? Ever since we got back, I've been looking at him differently. He isn't the same little Niall anymore. He's... sexy."

"Ew." All three girls made gagging noices and disgusted faces at me, causing me to giggle.

"He told me to dress pretty, but not fancy. How do I do that?"

"Let me dress you!" Caroline and Lou shouted at the exact same time. I grinned while jumping off of the bed, letting the two girls drag me away. Ariana followed us with a sly smile across the hall towards Lou's room, where the magic began.

Honestly, I don't know what changed. Maybe it was me, maybe it was Niall. Whatever it was, I liked it.

"You look amazing."

"Flawless."

"Can I borrow that dress sometime?"
