Chapter 22; Stephanie's POV

My eyes fluttered open to see a peacefully sleeping Niall. I smiled softly at his light snores. I began to roll off the bed when his arm stopped me.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked groggily.

"To make breakfast," I replied, turning back to face him.

"Stay for a while," he whispered softly. I snuggled close to him and kissed his nose.

"Aren't you hungry yet?" I asked, smiling.

"Not hungry enough..." he pulled me closer. I played with his hair a bit; I let the strands slip between my fingers. He took my hand and pecked at my lips a couple times.

"So what do you wanna do today?" I asked.

"Well, what's your favorite thing to do?" he asked.

"I really like going rollerskating, it's really fun and really close by. I usually walk," I ran my hand up and down his bicep.

"Didn't we do that already though?" he asked.

"Yeah, but this time it could be just us," I shrugged.

"Alright, as long as we're together and having fun!" he smiled. I pressed my lips to his slowly. He played with the ends of my brown hair. I snaked my hand up his chest and felt his toned body. 'I don't work out' my ass! My phone gave out a shrill ring.

"Are you kidding me?" I groaned. Chance's name flashed across the screen. What a stupid name 'Chance'. I always told her she should go by her middle name 'Serena', but she refused! I picked up the phone and clicked the 'accept' button.

"What are you doing today?" she asked before I could even get a word in. That was always how it was, she always came first.

"Doing stuff with Niall," I replied.

"Oooo like what?" she asked curiously. I sighed and shook my head.

'Seriously? Can't I just have my own time with Niall?' I thought.

"Um, we're going to the skating place," I replied.

"Didn't we already go there?" she asked.

"No one said you had to come Serena!" I replied, frustrated.

"My name is Chance!" she sighed and hung up.

"Ugh," I balled up my fists, "why does she ALWAYS make me look like the bad guy?"

Niall slipped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.

"Don't worry about her okay?" he kissed the top of my head.

"She has two guys madly in love with her and she's COMPLAINING! I don't understand! She's not even that pretty," I blew up.

"Why do you care? Let it go and let's have some fun!" he smiled. I loosened up at his smile.

"Alright...I'm going to go make breakfast," I got up and walked down the steps and into the kitchen. I pulled out some pancake mix from the cupboard and took out a bowl. I took out everything I needed and got started. As I was mixing the batter I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist. I turned to face Niall.

"Listen...how about instead of going out...we stay in..." Niall suggested in a low voice.

"Hmm...now what exactly do you mean?" I asked innocently.
