*Haley's P.O.V.*
By the time we reached the house, it was about four o'clock and we were both drenched to the bone. Niall opened the door for me like the gentleman he is, and I thanked him as we entered the foyer, taking off our soggy shoes. When we walked into the living room, everyone was there in the usual spots: Sydney in Liam's lap in the recliner, Derek and Zayn on the floor leaning against the coffee table, Dani and Louis on either end of the couch with Harry in the middle, and an empty loveseat beckoning Niall and me. Harry looked up from the TV at the sound of us entering and looked at us as though we were completely mental.
"What were you two doing, swimming in the pond at the park?" he asked incredulously. I giggled, remembering what we had actually been doing. I looked over at Niall, who was smiling down at me.
"Just walking," I answered, still grinning into Niall's amazing eyes. This was all a dream, wasn't it? Yup, I was going to wake up any minute now. Well, maybe I could sleep for a little longer...
"You two should dry off," Liam instructed fatherly. I rolled my eyes, but obeyed.
"Okay, Daddy," I replied in a high-pitched voice, mussing his hair as I past behind the chair on my way to the stairs. Sydney giggled and winked at me as she fixed the stray pieces I had misplaced. I heard Niall behind me, and as soon as we were no longer in sight of our friends, he pulled me into his room. I happily agreed, letting him guide me to his bed. (No, this was not a sexual moment, thank you very much.) We lay down on the soft sheets, our lips meeting again. The lightening that flashed in the sky outside the window couldn't even compare to the electricity between us. Just we started deepening the kiss there was a knock on the door.
"You know, I'm pretty sure Liam meant you two should dry off in your own rooms," Louis' joking voice came through from the other side of the door, making us jump apart. Stupid Louis. Naw, I love him. Oh right, I have to tell him! And Dani! I thought excitedly, almost proudly.
"Well, he could've been more clear," Niall called back in an equally playful tone. I smirked and got up, heading over to the door. Niall frowned as I left him on his bed, but I blew his a kiss and mouthed, 'later' before opening the door. It swung open, revealing a smugly smiling Louis who had his fist raised, ready to knock again. He raised his eyebrow when he spotted Niall lounging on his bed, but I just smiled.
"Excuse me," I said sweetly. He stepped aside, grinning knowingly at me. I walked past him and across the hall into my own room, seeing him enter Niall's room and close the door behind him out of the corner of my eye. Unfair! I thought indignantly, I wanted to tell Louis! I sighed and shut the door to my room, walking over to my closet. It was only about 67 degrees (Fahrenheit), neither hot nor cold, so I switched my shorts for light pajama pants. They had cartoon owls on them, and I absolutely loved them for reasons I'm not quite sure of. I stripped off my shirt, tossing it in the laundry pile. I switched my strapless bra for a normal one and slipped on my red Taylor Swift shirt that I got at the Speak Now tour, crossing the room to my bathroom. I brushed out my dripping hair, but just ended up throwing it in a makeshift bun on the nape of my neck. Not caring about the fact that I looked like a piece of shit, I walked down stairs where there was now not only an empty love seat, but an empty seat to the right of Harry as well. I took my seat on the loveseat, smiling when I saw High School Musical 2 on the screen, knowing Harry let Dani pick the movie.
"You look hot," Dani laughed sarcastically. I faced her and struck a pose in my seat, making her shake her head.
"I know," I joked, giggling. She turned back to the movie, but she must have felt my eyes on her, because she turned to face me. I was staring at her, smiling. Niall might be the first to tell Louis, but I was going to be the first to tell Dani. Niall and Louis came back down, both smiling like idiots. Niall took his place next to my, draping his arms around my shoulders and kissing my cheek. Dani smiled at me, but I gave her a different smile. Once Niall's focus was on the television, I slightly puckered my lips for a split second. Dani's eyes widened slightly, questioning me, and I lifted my eyebrows once as a way of confirming.
