Right Now

Chapter 31

It was almost the end of the summer, to my dismay. We had about 2 more weeks left.

It had been about 3 weeks since my first date with Niall, and we had still continued going out on small outings, even on double dates with Julia and Liam! Charlie and I had been spending a lot of time together and she has turned out to be a great friend, very supporting and fun to be around. Louis and Harry and I have been pretty close all summer and I can't imagine life without them. Zayn and Daniella reminded me of parents, so it was always fun to tick them off every once in a while.

Tonight was when we were all going to a club in "downtown" London. This club was cute well known.

I bought Niall something when I went out with the girls. I was planning on giving it to him tonight. It was a key ring holder with a picture of us on it. Yeah, I know, its super cheesy, but I had it custom made to have it say 'I love you infinitely' and I wanted him to love it as much as I do.

I was currently helping Charlie and Julia curl and straighten their hair.

"This should be fun." Charlie happily bounced around in her chair with an unknown mystery to her.

-*-

"How do I look?" I twirled around for the girls in my bright purple dress that had a sweetheart neckline and ended right above my knee. It was tight but not slutty tight so I could dance. My hair was in an updo and my makeup was smokey with shades of purple in it.

Both girls nodded in pleasent terms and motioned me to walk out of the bathroom with them.

"HOLD YOUR EARRINGS, BOYS. THE DIVAS HAVE ARRIVED." Julia hollered down the stairwell as we made our semi-grand entrance.

Niall could not take his eyes off of me. Neither could Harry.

"You look-" Harry started, but was interuppted by Niall.

"Beautiful." He breathed sending light shades of pink to my cheeks.

"Are we ready to party?" Louis shouted while wrapping his arms uncomfortably around Charlie, who looked equally as uncomfortable.

We all yelled responses and left for the club.

-*-

The club was in full swing by the time we got there.

I could hear them blasting 'Thrift Shop' as the crowd yelled and danced. Sweaty bodies were everywhere.

"WHO WANTS DRINKS?" Louis managed to yell over the massive crowd.

I replied with a no as everyone else agreed to part take in drinking. I wanted to stay sober tonight.

I felt an arm wrap around my waist and blonde hair enter my peripheral vision.

"Would you like to dance, Ms. Ramierez?" He seductively whispered into my ear.

"Nah, I think I'm good." I took a sip from my Diet Coke.

The look on Niall's face was priceless.

I laughed. "Only joking." I threw out my drink and grabbed Nialler's hand. "Let's dance, popstar."

It was some weird techno song that I'd never heard before, but the beat was cool. I stood there swaying my hips slightly. Again, I'm not the best dancer. Niall took the chance to put his hands on my hips as we swayed to the techno pulses. We stayed like this, dancing talking laughing, throughout a few songs.

"Belly." I felt an arm tug me away. I shot Niall an apologetic look and followed Lulu.

"Hey Lu! Whatsup!" I shouted over the music.

"He asked me." Her eyes were glowing.

"Really!?!?" I knew what she was saying. Julia had been waiting for Liam to ask her to be his girlfriend and apparently it finally happened.

We both stood there like sterotypical teenagers and screamed and jumped in circles.

"Lu, I'm so incredibly happy for you!" I shrieked.

"Yeah, now we can go on official double dates!" Julia looked around. "Speaking of that, where's Niall?"

I looked around to where Harry, Liam, Zayn, Daniella, and Louis were emerced in conversation. Louis looked distraught.

"What's wrong with Louis?" I jerked Julia over in the direction of the crew.

"Loumeister, you okay?" Julia called and Louis came right over.

"Hey chickies, have you seen Charlie? She said she was going to the bathroom and she's been gone for a long time." Louis' voice waivered with concern.

"Weirdly enough, I can't find Niall." We stood there staring at each other when a random guy yelled, "HEY SOMEONES HOOKING UP IN THE SUPPLY CLOSET WOOOHOOOO." That's when I saw a familiar straight hair that I had helped straighten tonight.

"Uhhh.. Lou, I sorta found Charlie." He looked from me to the supply closet and grabbed my hand. Louis and I immediately barged over to the supply closet to find Niall and Charlie sucking faces.

I stopped in my tracks completely shocked. Louis was enraged.

Niall stopped kissing Charlie to see me.

Both of them looked shocked.

Niall was the first to speak.

"Belly...."

I threw the key ring at him, gave Louis' hand a reassuring squeeze and left while saying, "Glad I wasn't just your charity case."
