There are three things in my mind right now.

1. What?

2. First embarrassing moment of the day

3. I love it but I can't accept it.

"Guys...." I trailed off staring at the candy red ecosport car and then at them, whose faces have turned pink due to all the laughing, thanks to me.

"What, you don't like it?" Harry asked somewhat managing to control his laughter.

God, I'm so dumb.

"No, I love it but..." I hesitated, thinking of how to reject their costly yet lovely gift. "I don't think that I can accept it"

"Why not?" Liam questioned frowning slightly.

"It's too much guys. You all bought me gifts yesterday. Those are more than enough. I love you guys so much." I finished.

They all exchanged glances and gave me a disapproving look. I shook my head and looked at the ground. "Guys, it is the thought what counts," I said looking up at them.

"Unless you accept our gift, we won't talk to you," Harry said crossing his arms across his chest. Liam gave a nod and folded his arms too. Niall looked at me and then at Harry, who glared at him. I giggled.

Niall gave me a small shrug before folding his arms too. Louis was quiet all along with his hands stuffed inside his pocket.

"Niall? You too?" I groaned playfully.

"Ba-"

"Don't talk to her," Harry snapped causing Niall to frown and scrunch up his nose. I giggled at that. Niall was so cute. His blonde hair tousled, his eyebrows knitted, his lips pouty, and his pink lips...

Stop being adorable.

I turned to Louis and he was facing the ground.

"Lou?" I called. He looked up at me not sure, whether I called him or he was imagining it. I chuckled at his reaction and he cracked a smile.

"Why are you so silent?" I think I know the answer.

"Stop acting like nothing happened," he mumbled under his breath and looked at the ground again.

"What happened?" Niall asked. Boy, he has sharp ears.

I turned to him. "Nothing, I told you he got drunk last night. He made a mess in the kitchen and now he feels bad about it" I lied convincingly. But I can see that Niall did not take it and I was just hoping that Louis, Liam or Harry will not spill the beans to Niall.

"Darcy, are you trying to change the topic?" Harry questioned me.

"Um, no"

"Do you want us to talk to you or ignore you like all our other co-workers?"

"I don't want that" I said frowning slightly.

"Then take the car. What is wrong with it? Look at it. It is amazing"

"But guys it is so costly. How can I...." I stopped when they glared at me.

"Ok fine" I huffed. I cracked a smile, "I love it," I said touching my car slightly. It sure was amazing.

"I know you'll love it" Niall said as he walked over to me and pulled me in his arms. I hugged him back, feeling all giddy.

I should not forget to talk to Louis.

I hugged Harry and then Liam. When I walked over to Louis, he held his hand out for a shake. I ignored it and hugged him tightly. He reluctantly wrapped his arms around me softly, returning the hug.

"Thank you so much guys. I love it" I exclaimed.

"Why don't you try driving it around the corner?" Niall asked handing me the key. I took it joyfully as I opened the door. Niall took the seat beside me and the three of them sat back. Harry laughed uncontrollably as he looked at his phone. I turned around to look at him. He showed his phone to Liam and Louis, who started laughing too.

I caught a glimpse of the screen.

No freaking way. He recorded my reaction. Second embarrassing moment of the day.

I shook my head as I started the car.

>>>>>>>>>>

We all entered the kitchen. Harry, Liam, and Niall decided on making a classic lunch for the day. Louis did not follow us. He went straight upstairs.

"What's wrong with him?" Niall asked. Harry and Liam both exchanged glances.

"I'll go talk to him," I said and Niall frowned. I excused myself before following Lou upstairs.

Niall's P.O.V.

Why is Darce taking so long?

I should probably go check on her.

No, idiot. She will think that you don't trust her.

But, I do. I trust her. I know that she won't do anything behind my back.

I just don't like her getting too close to Louis, with him developing feeling for my girl. I know that she does not look at him that way but I can't help but feel insecure when it comes to her.

I want her to open up to me. Like I opened up to her and said that I loved her. I don't want to push her though. I just want to give her some space. I sighed. It's been an hour and she did not return yet.

"I'm gonna go check on Darce" I said wiping my hands in the apron and removing it.

Harry and Liam exchanged glances, again.

What is wrong with everyone?

I placed my apron on the kitchen counter and headed upstairs. I walked towards Lou's room and I heard muffled voices. I recognized it as Darcy's and Lou's voice.

As I got closer to the room...

"It's ok, Lou. I forgive you for kissing me. Don't-"

"What the f uck?"

A.N.
