They Don't Know About Us

Underwater Mysteries

"Hey, baby," Niall greeted me, once he I opened the door to my room. He softly kissed me on the lips for a few seconds before pulling away.

"Niall, why did you come to get me?" I whined, "I just woke up, I look like a mess!"

"You always look perfect," Niall replied. I rolled my eyes, "Of course you'd say that. Want to come in?"

"Sure," He replied. I stepped aside, so he could walk in. My room was generally clean, except for my undone bed.

"I'm going to go change, then we can walk to breakfast together," I replied. Niall nodded, so I grabbed an outfit from my suitcase to change into. I walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. I put on a ruffled multicolored dress with a pair of sandals. I fixed my curly hair so it was neat, and put on some jewelry. I put on a little eye makeup, and a flower beret. We have been on the cruise now for three days. I haven't been able to spend much time with Niall, so I was excited to see him. I walked out of the bathroom, to see Niall. He walked up to me, and intertwined his fingers with mine, "You look beautiful," He whispered into my ear. I could feel his breath in my ear. I blushed, "Thanks," I replied, "Ready?" He nodded, so we walked out of the room and to get breakfast, hand in hand.

The day had quickly passed by, so it was already nine. I spent most of the day in the shadow of the boys. They would talk to their fans, and Marie and I would stand in the background listening in. They did signings today, so while that was going on, Marie and I went to the deck. We had decided to just sit in the pool chairs on the deck, and try to tan. Knowing my fair skin, I would have nothing happen to me. We sat there, talking most of the day. Marie was lucky enough to get a tan, while my skin remained pale.

I headed back to my room. I walked into my room, and shut the door behind me. I grabbed a pair of pajamas, and stripped out of my clothes. I put on a white tank top and a pair of pajama shorts. I sat on my bed, and grabbed the TV remote. I turned on the TV, and started watching a movie that was on TV. I watched it until ten, when my eyes began to grow heavy. I switched off the TV, and crawled into the covers of my bed. Within a few minutes, I fell asleep.

I heard a sound in the middle of the night, causing me to shift in my sleep. I heard the sound of my door slamming, causing my eyes to flutter open. I turned to the right to see the door was closed. I scanned my pitch, black room, finding nothing that I could see. I closed my eyes again, and tried to sleep. I kept thinking about the odd noise of the door slamming, making me scared. I opened my eyes again, and felt a large shadow covering my body. I turned to my side, in the direction of the source of the shadow. I looked up to see the outline of a tall man. I gasped, and quickly reached for my phone. I pressed a button, immediately lighting up the screen. I pointed it towards where the man was. Once the light hit that area, I saw that nothing was there. I'm just imagining things. Why do I keep imagining that there is a man by me? I locked my phone, and set it back on my nightstand. I lie back in my bed, and fell asleep again.

The door slammed again, causing my eyes to shoot open. I looked to the right, to see the door was closed. I'm sick of being so scared. I pulled myself out of bed, and switched the light on. I scanned the room, seeing nothing in particular. I sat back on my bed again. I grabbed my phone, and looked at the time. It was a little past midnight. I really wanted to talk to someone. I searched through my contacts until I found Niall's number. I pressed on it, and clicked call. I placed the phone up to my ear, listening to the ringing.

"Hello?" I heard Niall's voice mumble into the phone.

"O-Oh, Niall it's me," I replied, "Were you sleeping? Sorry, I shouldn't have called."

"No, wait, I wasn't sleeping," Niall replied, "What is it, babe?"

"Nothing really, I just am sort of nervous, that's all," I replied.

"What are you nervous about?" Niall asked, curiously. How am I going to put this into words?

"U-Um, well, I keep thinking I see someone in my room," I said.

"Is there someone in your room?" Niall asked, concern covering his voice. I shook my head, even though he couldn't see me, "No, I think I was just imagining it."

"Well, I actually was going to call you," Niall told me.

"Why?" I asked, confused.

"I haven't been able to spend much time with you on this trip, as you probably know," He told me, "I was thinking we could go somewhere. A place where the fans won't bother us."

"Where?" I asked, unsure of what he was talking about.

"I was able to talk to some people that worked on the ship, and I convinced them to let me take you to the pool that is on the bottom floor tonight," Niall explained, "We can stay there for a little, we can swim and finally spend some time together."

I felt a grin form on my face, "That sounds great!"

"I'll pick you up in a few minutes," Niall said.

"Okay, bye," I replied.

"Bye," Niall answered. I hung up the phone, and pulled myself out of bed. I quickly stripped off my pajamas, and threw my swimsuit over my body. I put on a pair of flip flops, and combed out my messy hair. I was ready. I walked back into my room, and waited for Niall to come. Within a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door. I rushed over to answer it, and I opened the door to see Niall. He was shirtless and was wearing swim trunks. He leaned in, and quickly kissed me on the lips, "You look amazing."

"Right back at you," I joked.

"Ready to go?" Niall asked. I nodded, and we walked out of the room, shutting the door behind us. We walked down the hall silently, making sure to not wake anyone up. We went down the long flight of the stairs to reach the pool I saw the glass door, exposing the large pool. I gasped, "Wow, it's huge!"

Niall chuckled, and pushed open the door. I walked in, and looked at the massive pool. I looked to the left and spotted a hot tub.

"Want to go to the hot tub first?" I suggested. Niall shrugged, "Whatever you want."

"Then we'll do that," I replied. I pulled off my shoes, and set them on a pool chair. Niall did the same with his shoes. I quickly rushed over to the hot tub, with Niall following behind. I dipped my toe in, feeling the scorching hot water. I carefully put my foot in, absorbing the burning water. I placed my other foot, in and pulled my body into the hot tub, so I was sitting in the water. Niall joined me, scooting close to my body, "Finally, it's just me and you."

I could see Niall's blue eyes staring into mine. We both leaned in, crashing our lips together. I felt Niall's arm pulling me closer to his body. I wrapped my arms around his neck, while his arm wrapped around my waist. We stayed like that for a little, kissing. We finally parted, still staring at each other. Niall placed his arm over my shoulder, as we sat together in silence. After a few minutes, I grew bored, "Wanna swim?" I asked.

"Sounds like a plan," Niall replied. We pulled ourselves out of the comfortably hot water. The cooler air hit against my skin, causing me to shiver. Niall intertwined his fingers with mine, "Going to go in?" He asked, as we walked over to the edge of the pool.

"You can go first," I replied, motioning for him to jump into the cool water.

"Ladies first," Niall said, playfully. I shook my head, "No, you first!"

I saw Niall's eyes have a devious look to them. I looked at him confused, "What are you gonna do to me?" I asked. A smirk played on the corners of his lips. Suddenly, Niall threw me over his shoulder. I yelped at the sudden movement. I heard Niall laughing.

"Put me down!" I cried.

"Okay," Niall replied. I felt him toss me into the pool. My body hit the cool water, and I was now underwater. I pulled my body up, and my head poked up from the water, "Niall!" I yelled at him. I saw him cheekily grin before jumping into the pool, causing a new shower of cool water falling upon my head. His head poked back up from underwater, his hair clinging to his head. He swam over to me, and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You can be such a jerk sometime," I told him, my head twisted back so I could look into his eyes. He grinned down at me, "I know." I rolled my eyes, and I felt Niall's arms, dunking me into the cold water, then pulling me back up. I glared at him, "See?! I was right!"

"And, I agreed," Niall joked, "But, I know you won't stay mad at me if I do this." He crashed his lips onto mine, passionately kissing me. His tongue glided into my mouth, and his arms repositioned themselves around my waist. He pulled me closer, so my chest was touching his. I wrapped my arms around his waist, as we stood like that, kissing in the cool pool water. I pulled away mid kiss. I saw him pouting, "Why'd you stop?" He asked, disappointed.

"Hey, I had to get revenge somehow, and that's the best I had," I replied. Niall tried to grab my waist again, to pull me into another kiss, but I swam away, so he couldn't kiss me. I saw him groan, as he swam towards me. Right as he reached me, I swam away, so he couldn't reach me. I turned it into a game of chase. I swam around the pool, as Niall tried to grab me. I giggled when I felt his arms catching me, "Got you," His deep voice whispered into my ear. I giggled, as he turned me around so I could see him. He pressed his lips onto mine, and then let go, leaving the lingering feeling of his lips on mine. I swam around the pool, getting some exercise in. Niall leaned against the edge, watching me entertain myself. After a few minutes, Niall called over to me, "I'll be back in a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Don't keep me waiting," I replied, cheekily, as Niall left. Niall threw a towel over his body, and walked towards the bathroom door. I heard the door shut behind him. I swam towards the swallow end of the pool, and leaned my back against the edge. I stared at the bathroom door, waiting for him to come back. Suddenly, my concentration was interrupted by a splash on the other end of the pool. I quickly turned to see the water on the other end of the pool was moving because of the splash. I squinted to try and see what had caused the noise. I couldn't see anything because of the long length of the pool I started to swim towards the end, staring at the end of the pool. My arms pulled me towards closer towards the deeper end. I reached the end, but didn't see anything. As I started to look again, I felt something on my ankle. What felt like a hand wrapped around my ankle, and yanked me underneath the water.
