“Oh my god. Niall! What are you doing here?” I screamed in happiness.
“Ashlynn! I knew it was you, the bands taking a break and I decided I might as well hop over to see my mum.”
“Shouldn’t you be in England then?”
“No. She got that job at Hobkins.”
“Wow really? That’s so strange I'm on my way there for college.”
“No way! Lou’s coming to visit in a week and then the rest of the band is meeting up in a month. They are going to flip when they hear about this.”
“Yay! It’s been forever since I’ve seen you all.”
“I know! Wait what seat are you sitting in?”
“Ummm 4A why?”
“Here, I’ll be back in a second.” Niall said before walking off.
I quickly dashed off to the bathroom and got back in time to see a new woman sitting in Niall’s seat. I went back to mine and saw him sitting in the seat next to mine.
“Perks of being in a popular boy band.” He explained.
For the rest of the long twelve-hour flight back to America, we sat, talked and caught up with each other. I learnt that he’s renting out a mansion for the boys and him, where he then invited me to stay.
“Its only a five minute drive from campus, and a ten minute walk.” He persuaded.
“I don’t know.”
“Come on. Please. Please please please.” He begged.
“Ok fine but won’t it be a little weird?” I finally agreed, accepting defeat.
“What do you mean?”
“Five guys in a house and then one girl.”
“Oh no don’t worry Eleanor is coming with Louis.”
“Oh…ok”
“So will you stay?”
“Yeah sure”
“Yay”
“But.”
“But?”
“None of you can bring any one night stands into that house. Deal?”
“What?”
“Yeah. I said it. So do you agree or not?”
“I’m not sure Harry will be ok with that.”
“Screw harry hahah”
“You already did.”
“Shut up!”
“Fine, fine, no one night stands got it.”
“Good”
We both fell asleep soon after the conversation. A stewardess telling me we were about to land finally woke me up. I glanced out the window and saw the moon and the stars. Below the sky and clouds you could see glimpses of lights and houses. Niall was snoring loudly and I threw a pillow at him to wake him up. He sat up and rubbed his eyes whilst yawning. Then we both buckled our seatbelts and the plane began to land.
As soon as the plane hit the ground, there was a frantic rush of people to grab their bags and leave. Fortunately Niall and I were one of the first ones off and we were able to avoid most of it. We raced down to the luggage belt and I grabbed two massive carts. As I loaded the large amounts of my luggage onto my cart, Niall looked for his bags.
Once he finally found them he grabbed a cart and threw them on, whilst I was busy trying to squeeze on the last two boxes. Finally, but with a massive struggle, everything was securely on and we found our way to the exit. Niall asked me if I wanted to ride with him, and when I found out it was a limo, I basically screamed yes.
We sat in the limo on the drive over and I quickly called my mom. She answered on the second ring and I lay back in the smooth, black leather seats. Niall poured me a glass of champagne and I talked to my mother slowly.
“Hey sweetie!” she said kindly.
“Hey mom”
“I was wondering if you can change the address for me?”
“Why?”
“Some of my friends are here right now and they want me to come stay with them.”
“Oh. Ok. Will do, but umm do I know these friends?”
“You should. Famous, in a boy band, remember them?”
“Oh my god! Are you with them right now?”
“No only Niall.”
“Tell him I say hi”
I turn to Niall, “My mom says Hi,” and then he snatches the phone from me and has a long conversation with her. When they are finally done I tell her that I love her and then hang up.
We arrived at the mansion a little after midnight, and Niall gives me the tour. We walk into the house and there is a massive staircase, leading up four floors, and I spy an elevator next to it. He shows me the gigantic kitchen, living room, bathrooms and bedrooms. Then we head up to the top level where there is a large telescope and a glass ceiling. It was breathtaking and beautiful.
After standing there staring for a long time, we made our way down to the basement, where we found a bowling alley, indoor pool, movie theatre, and a back staircase leading to the backyard, where we found ourselves flabbergasted. There were three massive pools, a sauna, a garden, a golf course, a lounge, a guesthouse, and a giant garage. We opened the garage slowly where it revealed ten Vespa’s, a truck, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, and five more expensive looking cars. Not to mention the display of motorcycles in one corner, and the arrangement of bikes in another.
“Holy Crap.” I whispered.
“I know” Niall replied.
“This is just wow.”
“I’m never leaving”
“I'm too tired for all this excitement.”
“Yeah lets just go find our rooms.”
We strolled back to the house and checked the lock system as we entered. Everything was secure and the alarm was on. Niall said I could choose whatever room I wanted, seeing as there were at least ten of them. Niall dashed off into a room on the second floor while I continued onto the third.
All of the sudden I spotted a small door in the corner of my eye and leapt over to it. It slid open to reveal another staircase, which I carefully walked up. When I reached the top my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I was amazed. I reached over to the lights for a better look. Around me were glass walls, and I could see outside clearly. The roof was black and twisted to a point, which reminded me of a castle. The room was a circle, and my bed lay against one of the glass walls. On the other side of the room, I found a latch on the floor that I slid into and it lead me down to a bathroom.
I found myself in a big rectangular room covered in tiles, with a large Jacuzzi like bathtub, and a black sink next to a shiny, black porcelain toilet. Along on of the walls was a corner that lead somewhere else, I strolled to the corner and peeked over to the other side.
A gasp flew my mouth in amazement of the sight. There was a glass wall that showed a view of the backyard, where the showerhead was the only thing in the corner, other than the emptiness. I thought of every possibility that was there. Each shower a new breath taking sight. Tonight it was the sight of the stars, and the moon hung low in the sky, its crescent shape catching the light and portraying it down onto us. But imagine tomorrow, possibly a sunset out that very same wall. The glass allowing your shower to be seen by whomever passes, but you couldn’t care less due to the amazing beauty that the shower held. It was simple yet amazingly complicated in ways you could never know.
As I left the shower and headed back up to my room, I felt the sleep hit me and I fell into the soft, warm bed. In a matter of seconds I was fast asleep, everything gone and I was whisked away into my dreams.
