Reunited (A One Direction Story)

Chapter 4

(Harry's POV)

"Okay so when I left here when I was eight, I was originally just supposed to be in America for a few months because my grandfather was dying.The thing is, my parents were getting a divorce and I knew nothing about it. So, my mom decided it was just best for us to stay in America, and I agreed even though it meant losing you...." she looked up at me, and then continued her story. "So, I stayed there and became friends with the girls. Then one day out of nowhere, my dad wanted to see me. It was just to meet some lady and it turns out he had married her and taken care of her children. So that's why I came back at 16 and met up with you. And then I left again after the party situation. So now, I'm back home hopefully for good. But, as far as the accent thing, I mean I don't know really. It's not that I don't use it, but it's not as here anymore if that makes sense. I mean if you spend eleven years in a different country, you learn to adapt I guess. "she explained. "But does it ever come out?" I asked rather confused. "Yea but only when I'm either super sad or really mad. It's kind of like when my eyes get light brown if I"m sad about something, then my accent will be there too. That's why when we talked outside of Starbucks you heard it."she told me. "Oh. Okay." was all I said.

She is hiding something.  There is more to this story that she is not telling me. I can feel it.  After all the time we had spent together throughout the years, I always could tell when something was wrong with her and she always could tell when something was wrong with me. We just worked like that somehow. I really want to know what she is hiding, but I feel like if I push her to give me answers, it could backfire and I will lose her again. I can't risk it.

"Do you want to go back downstairs?" I asked. "Yea sure."she said and we left the room.

(Nia's POV)

"What do you guys wanna do now?" Erinn asked as soon as her and Harry came back outside. "I know!"I yelled. "We'll have a house party. We don't need nobody. Turn that TV off and break that boombox out." I began singing one of Erinn's favorite songs by Sam Hunt. "We'll wake up all the neighbors 'til the whole block hates us. And the cops show up and try to shut us down" she sang. "If you're gonna be a homebody, we're gonna have a house party."Sonia and Alex joined in. We started laughing knowing the guys didn't know what we were singing. "It's a song guys. We just mean we should have like a small party with just the eight of us. Like a pool party but just between us, because we are all already here." Alex had to explain. "Ohhhh" they all said at the same time.

Here we are sitting in the pool. I was actually just relaxing not wanting my hair to get wet, until Niall picked me up bridal style and threw me in. I was so mad because I knew my hair would get curly and unmanageable like it always got when it was wet. I honestly don't see how Erinn does it. She never cares about her hair getting wet. One day we were at the park and she had her hood on. Then it started raining and she took it off and just stood there getting wet. Anyway, I couldn't believe it was Niall. I really like him, so when he threw me in I got butterflies. 

I ended up relaxing at one end of the pool and just started daydreaming about what it would be like if we were together. All of a sudden I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. It was Niall. I guess I must have been really focused on this daydream because he said, "What are you thinking about, baby?" "Nothing"I replied blushing like crazy. I began mentally freaking out. He just called me baby. He just called me baby. What am I gonna do? What do I say? What if he doesn't even realize he said it? Maybe I shouldn't say anything about it. But What if he did mean to say it? What does this mean? Ugh. I need help.

(Niall's POV)

I saw Nia leaning on one end of the pool. She looked like she was in really deep thought. Her eyebrows were furrowed and she as biting her lip. I called her name twice, but she didn't hear me because she was so focused. I wondered what she was thinking about. "What are you thinking about, baby?" I asked her not realizing I called her "baby" until after I said it. "Nothing" she said. Her cheeks turning pink at what I had called her. "Come on. What is it?" I asked. " I was just thinking about this guy I like. It's nothing too serious." Okay now I'm hurt. The girl I liked, maybe even loved was thinking about someone else. Why couldn't it have been me? I thought to myself. "it actually is you Niall."Nia said. "Wait, What?" "I said it is you. You are the guy I was thinking about."she said. "But how did-" "You were thinking out loud Nialler."she gigged. "Oh. Well since we're here right now talking about how we think about each other, maybe you would like to maybe go out sometime." I asked nervously hoping she would say yes. "I would love to Niall." she said smiling. "Really? Okay uh. How about we go to the movies Saturday?""Yeah. That would be great." she smiled,kissed my cheek, and swam away.

We came back inside about two hours ago and just started watching movies in the living room. Everyone was cuddled up with someone. Liam with Sonia, Louis with Alex, Harry with Erinn, which I'm pretty sure they are used to doing, because they cuddled all the time when they were together, and me with my Nia. She had an arm around my waist and had laid her head on my chest. I had my arms wrapped tightly around her and everything just felt comfortable. "I think we should get going guys." Louis said. "Yea it is getting pretty late." Liam agreed. What?! No, we can't. I want to stay here with Nia. I thought to myself, but got up anyway. Everyone was saying their good nights and sweet dreams to each other. "Goodnight Niall." she said hugging me a little longer than usual, but I didn't mind one bit. "Goodnight love" I said kissing her forehead. "I can't wait until Saturday"I heard her say.

Me neither, babygirl. Me neither.

A/N:Sorry for the long wait. I had so many projects to do for school, and I didn't have as much time to work on this, but I'm done with those so I'm back. Anyway I hope you enjoyed and please if you haven't watched the video up top, please watch it. It's the song in this chapter. Sam Hunt is one of the best out there right now, so I had to put that in there. So yea, um thanks again I hope you enjoy it.
