Okay, so my life rocks. I have an awesome room, an awesome job, and awesome pay. The only catch; I cant have the one thing I want.

My name is Krystal. Im 19. I live in a mansion in London, England. And Im the maid off the Niall Horan, heir to the multi-billion dollar company, Unity Corps.

Being a maid isn't actually that bad. I get good pay, good food, and a good place to stay, but since I've worked here since practically birth, I couldn't help but fall for Niall. Who wouldn't fall for those blue eyes, or that accent?

My mom was Mr. and Mrs. Horan's maid until she died when I was twelve. Ever since I've sort of been adopted into the family, though I still am just the help. The Horan's are nice people and I think Mrs. Horan is starting to suspect my crush on her son. Shes very observant and pays attention to every little detail.

I actually had dreams of being a singer when I was little, but those dreams are crushed because I have no friends to help me and Im terrified of singing solo. Niall's voice is beautiful. Its like an angel's voice is coming from his little cherub face. Its so cute to watch his face while he's singing. He puts so much emotion into what he loves. When we were little kids, we used to play soccer in the yard while his mom sewed and mine cleaned. Even though they're technically my bosses they treat me like a daughter. I wonder if that would be weird... I mean, we're practically family, how would we ever be able to date. And Im pretty sure Niall only sees me as a sister. So basically I have everything I could ever want, except my career. Everything I could possibly ever need, except someone to hold me and love me. Everything I could ever ask for, except Niall.

I know, stereotypical fairytale type. But Im just another teen. Im jolted out of my thoughts by arms wrapping around my waist from behind. "Hey there, Kryssie!"

"Hi, Lou. And its Krys or Krystal. Not Kryssie." I tell him, resting my hand on the arm around my waist and letting my head fall back onto his shoulder.

"Its Kryssie to me because I said so. And when the Sass Master says something..." he says, puffing out his chest regally and looking at the ceiling.

"It gets done." I finish. "Queen of sass." I call him jokingly.

"You knows it!" he smile.

"Hey! Krys, whats up?" Harry smiles, walking in and hugging me tightly.

"God Styles! I haven't seen you in ages! How are you?" I smile, missing the cheeky curly haired guy whos best friends with Niall.

"Im good. Im actually all set to collab with Ed for his next album. He said if it works out he may take me on tour with him as a duet type thing." he beams, green eyes shining with joy.

"That's great!" You see, Harry wants to be a singer, just like I did, but hes not nearly as scared of the stage as I am, so his friend Ed Sheeran is letting him work with him. Im so happy for the guy that I pull him into another hug and squeeze tight.

"Okay, Harry. Stop hogging my best friend." Zayn says, stepping in to pull us apart and wraps me in a hug of his own.

"Actually, I hugged him, Zaynie." I smile, wrapping my arms around the raven haired guy. Everyone swears we could be related but we aren't, Lou had our DNA tested for some crazy reason and it wasn't even close.

"Hello, love. Everything going good?" he smiles.

"Yeah. Wheres Liam?" I asks, looking around for Niall and his fourth best friend. Yes, the lad has four best friends. But that's mostly because no one can hate the little snowflake, hes just too damn loveable!

"Getting the football things out of the back of Niall's car. They'll be in soon." Zayn says, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I sink into the tall lad's side and rest my head on his shoulder, feeling comfy and at home. In a way, these five boys are my family, the only family Ive got.

"Did you want to join us, Krys?" Harry asks.

"I would love to but I have to wax the first floor today. Sorry."

"Nonsense! Join us, Krys. Mom'll let ya wax later." Niall smiles, ruffling my hair as he walks past.

"Alright, sure. Id love to join you for a game." I smile.

These boys. They always make sure to include me in the things they do. One time, they were teaching me how to play American baseball and I accidentally hit the ball into a window, but Niall took all the blame for it. Hes so sweet, its just not fair!

"Whoop, whoop! To the yard!" Louis says, charging out the back door.

We all laugh fondly and follow after our friend. "You're on my team, love." Niall says, swinging his arm around my shoulders easily. My heart feels ready to burst out of my chest and I look up at him, nodding furiously. I hoe he cant hear my heart, he'd laugh and Id be so embarrassed. he smiles and walks away, towards Louis, who is setting up the end goals in Niall's huge lawn.

Zayn matches pace with me as I follow a few paces behind the others. He rests his chin on my shoulder and angles his lips to my ear. "I know."
