Crazy, Stupid, Love (A One Direction FanFic)

Chapter 4

Niall’s P.O.V

I knocked loudly on the door, slightly annoyed that I’d left my house keys in the house. How useful were they there.

There was the sound of a scuffle inside and a roar of laughter, so I rolled my eyes. Must be Harry and Louis mucking around. Or Zane and Louis. Or Liam and Louis. Really, anyone with Louis. He always manages to make some kind of mischief, even when he’s with the most sensible people.

Someone crashed into the door, followed by laughing, and I rolled my eyes.

‘Come on, you idiots. Stop stuffing around and open the bloody door,’ I said dryly, and I heard people getting up. The little peep-hole flipped open and a blue eye stared back at me.

‘Ah, the Nialler is home. Hide the Nandos, Harry!’ called out Louis.

I perked up a bit. ‘Nandos?’

The door swung open and Louis gave me a grin. ‘Just joking.’

‘Ha-ha, how funny,’ I said sarcastically, walking in. We were staying in a house away from New York while on tour in an attempt to escape the crazy amount of fans.

Louis raised an eyebrow at me. ‘Someone’s grumpy. What happened? And we actually did order Nandos, by the way. I just wanted to piss you off.’

‘Well, you succeeded, and nothing happened really. Well, something did, but it wasn’t bad. Actually maybe it was? I don’t know, but I’ll tell you at dinner.’

Louis nodded and moved off to the kitchen, probably to terrorise Harry. I went into my bedroom and unlocked my phone, scrolling through my Twitter messages. I noticed one from Taylor Swift- unusual. I opened it up and read it.

Hey Harry- I’m having a party tonight. Was wondering if maybe you and the boys would like to swing by?

Taylor xx

It was obviously meant for Harry and she accidently sent it to me, but we were all invited anyway so I went and told the boys.

‘Yeah, sure, I’ll go,’ said Louis, shrugging.

‘Well, I’ve got a double-date with Danni, Zayne and Perri. We’ll see you guys back here,’ Liam said, grabbing his keys and walking out the door with Zayne.

‘Harry? Louis? You guys going?’ I asked them, and they both nodded.

‘Great. See you guys down here in ten, I’ve got to have a shower,’ I said.

…

Ten minutes later we were in the car and off to where Taylor was having the party, Harry looking especially happy.

‘She totally likes me,’ he said, grinning victoriously.

‘You keep thinking that…’ said Louis, and Harry hit him on the arm.

‘She does! I might ask her out tonight.’

He leant back, crossing his arms behind his head.

‘You do realise she’s what, 4 years older than you?’ I put in, and Harry was about to say something when Louis shrugged.

‘There’s been older.’

I nodded in agreement and Harry looked annoyed at us, so he just sat and stared out the window.

‘Aw, c’mon Hazz. We’re just playing. I guess age doesn’t matter when it comes to love,’ said Louis.

Harry nodded. ‘That’s a bit more like it.’
