Chapter Four

Chapter Four: A Night for a Princess

　

(Isabella's P.O.V.)

I woke up before anyone else. I was tangled up in a mess of blankets on Lil's basement floor with Lil and Vi on either side of me. Zo was on the little couch and Jack was on the bigger one. I quietly slipped away and checked my phone to see the time, but I saw I had a text... from Niall. I literally screamed as the phone fell from my hands. Jack instantly shot up, looking around worriedly. Lil took her time sitting up and staring quizzically at me. Vi and Zo could sleep through anything so they didn't even stir.

"What's wrong?" they asked in unison.

"Nothings wrong! Everything is amazing! Perfect!"

"What happened?" Jack wasn't one to let me keep things from him for long.

"NIALL TEXTED ME!"

"Oh that's it?" He groaned and fell back.

"That's it??? My idol and celebrity crush texted me and you think it's no big deal?!? Jack! This is so cool!"

Lil was smiling wide, "that's really great, Izz."

"Didn't he say he was going to text you though? We already fan-girled about this," Jack moaned.

"Well I wasn't sure he'd actually do it! He's famous. He has a really busy life! He may have just said that..."

"Well then maybe instead of standing there screaming about it you actually reply."

"Oh my god! Jack, you're so right!" I plopped down right there and sent a reply.

A few minutes later my phone chimed again. Jack and Lil got up to make breakfast and let me enjoy my moment. Vi and Zo continued to sleep peacefully.

It was really great meeting you too! I wanna see you again :)

Well you can ;) We're only here one more night so I can take you out tonight if you aren't busy...?

No I'm not busy! Whatever you wanna do works for me :)

Great! Give me your address and I'll pick you up at say six?

I sent him the address and continued texting with him until breakfast was ready. I then woke up Vi and Zo, then when we were all sat around the table I told them about my date with Niall tonight. Zo freaked out and made me promise to let her help pick out the outfit. Lil and Vi said they might as well too. We all turned to Jack.

"Oh dear lord, didn't I get enough of this yesterday?"

We all laughed and shook our heads, knowing that meant he was in.

(Niall's P.O.V.)

"She texted me! I'm taking her on a date!" I yelled in Harry's still sleeping face.

"Great. Thanks for sharing. Now leave," he mumbled sleepily into the pillow. I ran to Zayn's room and told him as well but he didn't even wake up. Liam was already up and he smiled at the news, patting me on the back. When I went to Louis' room he was already up and jumping on the bed.

"She texted you!" He screamed and pulled me onto the bed with him to jump.

"Yeah! How'd you know?!"

"I could hear you! Hooray!"

"Yeah buddy! I have a date!" I stopped dead. "I have a date. I haven't been on a date in such a long time. Louis, what do I do?"

He stopped bouncing as well and plopped himself down flat on his bum.

"Relax. We will figure this out and you will take her on the best date ever!"
