Rumor Has It (HIATUS)

Chapter 26

-Lauren's POV-

25 minutes later, we were searching for a valid parking spot at the mall. Many memories of Niall and I at this mall that were tucked in the back of my mind, were immediately flowing through my brain again.

Niall and I looked around a few shops for a bit; he then needed to use the restroom. While he was gone, I decided to buy him one of those leather band bracelets that said my name. On the inside, it says 'Love you to the moon and back.' I tucked it away in my bag. 15 minutes later, Niall reappeared.

"Well that took you forever and a day." I said cheekily.

"Oh shut up," he said in his cute Irish accent, while chuckling.

"Let's go to Yoforia!" I suggested.

"You must have definitely read my mind."

We made our way down to cute little frozen yogurt shop that was about five minutes from the kiosk we were at now.

"One minute challenge?" he said, smirking.

"You're on," I retorted.

The one minute challenge was where we filled up a large frozen yogurt cups with as much stuff as we possibly could, and then we would give each other the other person's cup, and eat it.

"3...2...1!" he said, laughing.

We went our separate ways, running around the whole shop making different mixtures of everything in there.

"5...4...3...2...1!" I counted down.

We got in the line so that we could pay. I looked into Niall's bowl, and wrinkled my nose.

"Probably tastes better than it looks." He said, shrugging.

"I hope." I said, laughing.

"I tried to put everything that I knew you liked in it."

"Aww, how sweet." I said, blushing.

"I try." He replied cheekily, putting his arms around my waist.

We were moving up in line, and me being the clumsy person I am, bumped into someone. 

I quickly apologized. "Sorry."

"It's okay."

"Harry?! What's up, mate?"

I was so shocked to hear this. I looked up to see that it was in fact, none other than Harry Styles.

"Ay, mate!"

"This is my girlfriend-"

"Lauren. I know." He said, cutting Niall off.

Niall looked from me to Harry, then back to me. "You two know each other?"

"Yeah, we um met the other day at work." I said.

"Yeah. She's a lovely girl Niall. Very beautiful too." He said winking at me.

Niall cleared his throat. "I know. I'm glad she's MY girlfriend." He replied, making a big show of putting his arms around me, while grinning.

Harry just smiled.

"So um, where's Piper?" I asked, while paying for me and Niall's fro-yo.

"She should be here in 3...2-"

"LAUREN. I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaimed.

I just laughed and hugged her back, while trying to make sure my frozen yogurt didn't fall. "Oh, this is Niall," I said.

She shook his hands and stared a little longer than necessary, which caused Niall to pull me closer.

The four of us sat down, and talked for a little, all getting to know each other better. Niall and I began spooning, and so did Piper and Harry.

"You and Niall's couple name is going to 'Nauren' or 'Liall' or maybe even 'Niaren!" she said, looking as if she was directing a hit movie in her head.

"Woah there Piper, slow down." I said, while dying of laughter. "You and Harry could be Hiper." I began to laugh at my own joke. "See what I did there? I figured out that Piper and Harry makes 'hiper' and Piper's hyper? Eh, eh?" I said reasoning to a crowd of blank faces.

"Oh that rhymed!" I said. "Shoot, I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! I'm on a roll guys! You-"

Niall silenced me with his lips, basically telling to shut up. I surrendered the moment he kissed me.

At least I tried, I thought to myself, giggling. Niall and I said bye to Piper and Harry after about an hour and a half of talking.

"Wait!" Piper exclaimed grabbing my arm.

"What?"

"I need your number!"

I smiled, giving it to her. Little did I know that Harry was copying it into his phone too.

Niall and I waved goodbye, and headed back to his car. We got in, and buckled up.

"Last stop." He said grinning, as if I was about to lay eyes on the best thing ever
