Surprisingly, Niall wanted to keep our relationship on the down low from the other boys, but the boys had other plans in mind. When Niall and I arrived to the tour bus a couple of hours later, we found Louis, Harry, Liam, Zayn and Angie smirking, as though they had uncovered some big secret we had yet to find out about.

“Hey,” I breezed, taking a seat next to Harry on the couch. “How did your night go?”

“Good,” Harry replied with a grin, “but we want to know about yours.”

Niall and I exchanged a smile as he came down to sit next to me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

“Good,” he answered briefly. “Good all ‘round.”

Angie snorted. “You two finally got together and all you can say is good? What type of response is that?”

A silence filled the room before the boys let out loud whoops and congratulated Niall, who grinned bashfully up at them in response. His fingers found my shoulder and squeezed gently. I leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, before pushing the other guys out of the way to kiss him properly on the lips.

Naturally, Harry and Louis catcalled but I ignored them, feeling Niall’s smile against mine as we both pulled away. I couldn’t resist giving them the finger though, as Niall leaned in to kiss me again.

I felt a thump against the back of my head, causing me to bump my lips against Niall.

“Ow,” I complained. “Was that really necessary?”

Harry shrugged, revealing himself to be the culprit of the pillow throwing. “We want details, Cass.”

Niall and I exchanged a glance before Niall spoke again. “Cassidy and I are happy together.”

“Very,” I couldn’t help but add in. “And I don’t know what’s going to happen after this tour finishes, but we’ll work it out.”

“You could always come live with me?” Angie suggested excitedly “This was our original plan, remember? Except you take the money you’ve made while working for the boys and then come live with me instead! We can get a flat and decorate and go out to pubs and it’ll be great.”

I didn’t even have to think about my answer – moving across the world to where my best friend was? “Not even countries can split us apart,” I said with a grin, earning a smile from Angie. “I’ll have to check in with the parentals though. I mean, they won’t be happy with it, but I have to tell Ryan, at least. Ugh, do you think I’ll have to see the devil as well?”

“The devil?” Niall furrowed his eyebrows in thought. “Is this the girl your brother’s dating? The one you said you didn’t like because she reminded you of my teeth? Or something?”

I could tell Niall was a little hurt, so I quickly explained my thought process to him. “I don’t like my brother’s girlfriend because she’s an evil bitch who just so happens to have crooked teeth. And I was annoyed by you initially when we first met because your teeth reminded me of hers. But I don’t think that way about you anymore, I love you, you goof.”

Awwwww!” Everyone but Niall cooed, and Niall took this time to kiss me.

“I forgive you,” he murmured, burying his head in my shoulder and I couldn’t help but kiss him on the forehead. Niall was so cute and kissable and I just wanted him all the time. “And I love you too. But I don’t think you should move a whole country for me.”

I pulled away from Niall and frowned. “It wouldn’t just be for you, though. Angie lives in London. I know you go away all the time, but it doesn’t matter to me.”
