♡Anriette's POV♡
We soon drove up to the Grove Mall in LA. It was on a Wednesday, so it wasn't busy. Mostly middle aged and old people, so the boys went without their disguises.
"So, what are you guys getting?" I asked as we got out of the car.
They looked at each other before before Zayn answered, "Nothing. We're here for you."
"Whoa whoa whoa, what? Why? I-- I don't have any money!" I
"We'll pay for it, love!" Liam smiled.
"I-- I don't know. I think this is too much..." I protested, putting my hands up.
"Hey, it's the least we can do. We did almost crush you and get you--" Niall elbowed Louis harshly in the ribs, causing him to gasp and double over in pain.
"Get me what?" I yelled, crossing my arms over my chest and glaring at Niall.
"Get your clothes ruined. The stains should've washed right out!" Niall said, gritting his teeth.
"Uh huh," I whispered, clucking my tongue against the roof of my mouth before turning away form him, my arms still crossed. He was hiding something, but I don't know what. I saw out of the corner of my eye the boys crowding around Louis, whispering something to him before Harry slapped him on the back of his head. Hmm. Maybe Niall is that kind of person...
I shook the thought out of my head as Zayn and Louis linked arms with me and started skipping, singing at the top of their lungs, "WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ!!!!"
♡Niall's POV♡
I could tell Anriette truly didn't remember what had happened to her last night, but now what she thinks happened is so much worse. How could I have a chance with her if she thinks I took advantage of her last night? How can she ever trust me? And what happens when she does remember the man, Sean, who tried to hurt her? My head was spinning and my heart was pounding, but all thoughts were pushed, well, more like shoved, out of my mind when Anri, Zayn, Louis pushed past me, skipping, screaming, and laughing like they were children. "Ey, watch where yer goin ye meddling kids!" I shouted, laughing. She and Louis were so much alike and looked so similar, it was almost scary. They even looked alike. Anriette turned her head behind her to look at me and smiled, laughing, showing each perfect dimple.
"Jesus Christ, you're missing your best angel," I whispered, running my fingers through my hair as I jogged a little to catch up with the trio.

"See anywhere you want to go in, love?" Harry asked her after about ten minutes of wandering aimlessly around the mall.
"Nah, I'm good. You guys can go look around if you want," she shrugged.
"Ok then..." Liam smirked, and within seconds he had tossed her over his shoulders, as if she weighed less than air. She was squealing and laughing, pounding on his back as he carried her into a store named Windsor. Liam set her down on a bench, and before she could get away, he had us block the door.
"Well played, Payno." She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, "why are we in here?"
"We're buying dresses for Harry," Louis laughed, giving him finger guns.
"We're all here to pick out clothes for you. You're here to try them on. We're here to buy them for you," Zayn explained, earning a rather annoyed look from Anriette.
"No way."
"Ohh, yes way," I said, before shoving her into the dressing room and blocking the door.
"Let me out!" she giggled, pushing with all of her might to knock me over. I'll admit, she got pretty close, but it was brawn against beauty here.
"Not until you try something on, and like it!" I yelled back, tossing clothes over the top of the dressing room door to her as the boys tossed them to me from different racks.
"I have the best style out of all you turds. We all know she's going to pick my choices," Harry snickered, throwing more clothing and accessories at me.
"I don't know... I think my picks have got pretty good game," Liam smiled, gently tossing me a turquoise and polka dot blouse and denim shorts from his rack.
"Oooh, good one," I laughed, handing it over to Anriette to hang up to try on.
"Are you KIDDING?!" Louis yelled, picking out a turquoise dress with a pearl collar and holding it up to himself in the mirror. "I AM PRADA AND YOU ARE NADA!!!" he screamed, twirling around with the dress in his hands before handing it to me. Liam guarded the dressing room door while I went to pick out my choice for Anriette.
She screamed behind the door as an avalanche of clothes fell on her. "How many clothes do you think I need?!" she cried, fumbling around to get the hangers back on the wall hooks. I shook my head, laughing.
I finally found the perfect dress for Anriette: a pink skater dress with a heart cut-out in the back, covered in golden, greek goddess-type silk and flowers. Goddess clothing for my goddess. I handed it over the wall, and heard her gasp in delight, smirking at all the boys who rolled their eyes, saying their choices were still better. We texted on our phones for a bit before she asked for help with the zipper, and Zayn stepped in the dressing room to help her. She came out, her eyes staring down at it as she bit her lip, twirling around on the balls of her feet.
Our jaws dropped wide open, and I glared at Louis as I saw him pretend to wipe drool off of his chin.
"Wow," said Liam.
"You...wow," Harry breathed.
"I have a girlfriend. I have a girlfriend. I have a girlfriend..." Louis mumbled, not being able to take his eyes off of her.
"You look... Beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous," I breathed, standing up and running a hand through my hair.
She smiled, and her cheeks turned bright pink. "Stop it! You're making me blush!" she giggled, covering up her cheeks.
"Don't cover it up," I whispered, grabbing her wrist and moving her hands away from her face. She stared at me with her beautiful brown eyes, and she never looked more perfect, which I thought was impossible. Her face had gone completely pink with blush as I looked to her lips, then back to her eyes, and noticed she did the same to me before I leaned in...
"KATY PERRY'S ON REPLAY. SHE'S ON REPLAY," Louis smirked, referring to the next line after Zayn's verse in our song Up All Night: 'I'm only thinking 'bout this girl I'm seeing, I hope she'll wanna kiss me back.' Anri blushed even harder and took a step back from me, laughing, shaking her head no.
"Yes," I whispered, and pulled her in close to me, before connecting my lips with hers.
I felt a surge of electricity run through my body and my cheeks heat up as she kissed me. I smiled into the kiss causing her to as well. Her pink lips are so soft and perfect when they act with mine, it gives me butterflies in the pit of my stomach. Stupid for a guy to get butterflies, I know, but it's true. It would have lasted forever if we hadn't remembered the boys were there.
♡Harry's POV♡
I sat there awkwardly, waiting for her to push him off, to pull away, to run away like she did the other night. But she didn't. I watched in horror as my best mate kissed the girl I had a crush on RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, for nearly a minute. The rest of the boys smiled and congratulated him, but as soon as that girl went behind that dressing room door, I grabbed Niall and dragged him outside, doing my best attempt at pinning him to the wall.
"What the hell was that?" I whisper-shouted, taking extreme caution so the other boys and Anri wouldn't hear me.
"That was me kissing the girl I have a crush on, the girl I actually like," Niall said, glaring at me.
"This is war, Horan," I groaned, sitting back down on the bench. She came back out of the dressing room in another outfit Niall picked for her smiling like crazy before he whispered to me,
"You can pretend it's war, but I think already won."
Louis heard us and took Niall's side without even knowing what we were talking about, whispering again, "I am Prada you are Nada."
