*Niall's POV*

I knock on the door and there's a soft moan from inside. When I open the door Celine is sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, her hair into a ponytail. Between her fingers she's holding a ballpoint pen. On her lap lays a book and she doesn't look up from it.

After she went to Kate to talk to her she went home. She doesn't want to tell me what Kate's problem was. I hope it has nothing to do with Liam.

I'm wearing a damn suit, I probably look like a fool wearing this. I'm taking her to a restaurant, I want to surprise her.

"Happy to see you too.." I tease and she jumps up when she hears my voice. She throws the pen on her book and jumps off the bed to hug me tight and kiss me.

"Niall, I'm so happy to see you! But what are you wearing?" She asks and looks up and down my body.

"I'm taking you somewhere, so get dressed. Quickly!" I have planned this night and we have still a lot of time but I love seeing her nervous and hurrying up.

"You look fabulous." She compliments when she catches me on looking at myself in the mirror. She chuckles an stands next to me looking at us in the mirror.

"We look like celebrities." She smiles
She's wearing a purple dress and black heels, in her hands a black purse.
"Can I put my phone in there?" I ask nodding to her purse thing. She laughs, showing me her white teeth.
"Yes you can." She holds it open when my phone slights in.
I take her hand in mine,
"Come on beautiful lady" and we walk to the front door.
"Do we have to walk for long?" She asks we pointing to her shoes.
"I'll cary you." she yelps when my hands lift her body up from the street

Her arms rest on my shoulders when she puts her hand behind my neck.
She kisses my cheek before laying her head against mine.

These are the things that drive me crazy, her fingertips softly touching my neck, her small fingers playing with my hair, her soft lips touching my cheek too lightly.

"We're here." I say and gently put her feet back on the ground.
"Wow, Niall this is too expensive. We can go to Crusty's or Nando's ."
"Of course not."
I take her hand and open the door of glass for her. And she walks in like a girl who's going to school for the first time. She looks amazing, stunning. Her dark hair draped over her shoulders, the purple dress that reaches her knees fits perfectly.

"Table for two please. Niall Payne."
The woman in black nods and leads us to the table I reserved. There's a white candle and a bottle of
water on it.
I pull her chair from under the table so she can sit down. Her green eyes look around and back into my eyes.
"Niall you didn't have to do this." She repeats for the fourth time and I smile. She lays her hands down on the table an I cover them with mine.


*Kate's POV*

"I didn't bring any clothes with me."
I say and Liam frowns, he always does when he's thinking. It makes him look so smart.
"We can get them tonight." He says and I nod. I don't want to go back to that house, not today.

"I can ask Louis to bring them if you want." He answers my thoughts.
I smile and he grabs his phone, to call Louis I guess.

"Can you bring Kate's clothes here? She doesn't want to go back in the house today." ...
"Okay I'll tell her." Liam says and looks at me.
What does he need to tell me?
"Okay, thanks dude." Liam hangs up the phone and puts it back.

"He's going to bring your clothes." He informs me.
"And need to tell me what?"
He gets nervous and looks away, like he's afraid to face me.

"I'll tell you later." Why is he so nervous? What's going in here?
"Liam tell me or I'll leave, I'm sure I can sleep on Zayn's couch or on a bench on the street." He knows I'm bluffing, about the bench at least.

"No way you sleep at Zayn's apartment!" Liam gets mad, I've only seen him mad with Harry, not with me or Zayn.
"Why not? He's my friend and yours too! You need to accept he's gay."

I can see he's trying to keep his temper but he can explode any moment.

Here it is.

"You can't choose who I should forgive and who not! I want to help you with your mother but you start about fucking Zayn? Why? You know I am angry with him because he lied to me for a damn year, I was his best friend!"

This is exploding for Liam, he's never angry and especially not with me. This is his edge, the angriest he can go is this. I think it's cute he can't get totally mad with someone.

"I just don't want you to lose your best friend. What if you were him?"

"I'm not gay so there's no 'what if'. I don't want to talk to him this soon."

"Okay." I sigh, I don't want to fight with him when I live with him. This is my only place to go. I just don't want to fight with Liam, we're just back together and I don't want to split because of my big mouth about Zayn.

There's a knock on the door. Liam opens the door of his bedroom to find Louis with a huge bag in his arms. "I grabbed some clothes." He says. I hope he didn't push them in there, I really can't stand it when people do that. My mother used to do that too when we were younger. When we were younger?
I can remember something about my past! The only good thing that happened on this grey day. I want to smile and yell but Louis face keeps me of doing that.

He looks at my boyfriend who shakes his head. What is going on between them?
Louis nods and puts the back on the bed. I look at Liam who's avoiding eye contact with me. I want to ask but I decide against it, like I said I don't want to start a fight.


*Celine's POV*

After we fight about me paying the half, Niall pays my food too. This is way too expensive and I don't want him to spend so much money on me. "I'm paying that back." I say when we walk outside.
"No you're not." He says quiet, more to himself than to me.
I ignore him, I'll put the money in his wallet when I get the chance to.

I really enjoyed this evening. His hands on mine made me feel safe.



*Astrid's POV*

"I want to watch Toy Story!" Matt yells when we're deciding which movie we're going to watch.

Jake looks at my and I nod.
"Okay then." Jake sighs and puts the dvd into the reader.

Jake wants to sit in between us but Jake lifts his little brother up and puts him down on his other side.
"I want to sit next to Astrid." The boy says and climbs onto the sofa next to me, his little body leaning against mine.

"He's going to fall asleep in a few minutes." Jake says

***

Ten minutes later the only one who's asleep is Jake, his head is laying on my lap. Matt is playing with his brother's hair. He laughs and squeezes Jake's cheeks until they become red. I take the little hands in mine to stop him.

"Shht let him sleep." I smile and the little guy sighs. "Okay then."

***

When the movie ends Jake is still sleeping on my lap. His breath is steady and slow. Matt climbs off the couch and runs away.
"Where are you going?" I ask but the little man doesn't respond.
He comes back, running with a blanket in his arms.
I help his putting it around Jake and me. "Thank you Mattie, that's very kind of you." He kisses my cheek and runs away to his bedroom.

He appears back in the doorway.
"Good night Astrid."
"Good night Matt."
His little feet carry him back to his bed.
