-------------------------------------------------

Hayley's POV

I wake up on something soft, a bed maybe,and feel something wrapped around my waist. The events of yesterday coming back to me, I remember Niall insisting he stay with me and smile.

I also remember that he sleeps in nothing but his underwear. I snuggle in closer to his body, and hear a soft chuckle behind me. I turn around, eyes finally open, and see Niall, his eyes bright as though he'd been awake for quite a time. As if he had just been watching me sleep. Normally, the thought of someone doing that would creep me out, but I found I didn't mind it one bit.

"Good morning, beautiful." he said. I blushed as soon as he said 'beautiful', no one but my parents ever calling me that. I quite liked the change.

"Good morning yourself."

"You're adorable when you sleep."

"Why, thank you."

I smile, thinking about Niall, and Niall only.

LOUIS' POV

"THAT BASTARD!" I shouted at the curly-haired twenty-year-old on the chair in front of me.

"I-I don't know where they went, honestly, mate." Harry says.

"Well find them!" I yell, making it clear that I want them here, and now.

"Tell me, was it there, was anything there?"

"Err, no, mate. Sorry. I searched it before I came out, there was just some bloke getting into a black Chevy."

"DAMN IT!"

This is why I needed the girl, she's too valuable to lose and I know she would be able to navigate all of these places for me. Now I suppose I should have listened to Harry and not let Niall do this one, maybe he is too close to the girl. But then again...

"Harry, how on God's earth did you know about their past?" I ask him. He hesitates a moment before he answers.

"When I first came here, Niall took me in. After a while, he opened up and told me all about it, and he was rather reluctant to mention her, as if he was trying to keep her safe."

"Alright. I suppose you could take the other van, go down your list from where you left off and don't leave a particle on any of those properties untouched."

"Alright."

He left, allowing me to ponder over the situation. Where would Niall take someone he so obviously cared about?

Then, I realized. The place where he could be romantic, he was indeed the type, and I know him well enough to do that.

"Get Payne on the phone," I told one of the remaining men in the room, "and tell him it's an old friend."

NIALL'S POV

We drove around that day, in my car so that we wouldn't be noticed by the others involved in her now crazy life, and just wandered around the city. We drove to our favorite place from when we were younger. Then, in the car, she siprised me.She grabbed my face and kissed me. I put my hands on her waist, kissing her as passionately as she did me.

"Niall," she finally said, her forehead on mine.

"Hmm?"

"Take me back to your place."

"Gladly."

I drove as fast as the speed limit would allow back to my flat. Once inside, I kissed her, softly. Lovingly.

And it was then that I realized that I loved the beautifully brunette, adorably small, undeniably beautiful, amazing, girl.

Now, in only I could only find the courage in myself to tell her.

HAYLEY'S POV

I look into the blue eyes as they stare into my brown. As I looked into his eyes, I sorted through my feelings for the adorably blonde, sexily Irish boy in front of me. And the further I dug, the more I realized that I loved him. But I had not near the amount of courage needed inside of me to tell him, and I was too terrified he wouldn't love me back.
