Chapter 6

“You still want to stay the night, babe? We got you and Austin a room.”

I nodded and smiled at Niall, finally getting over my fit from earlier. Niall had come back into the dressing room seething mad but came and comforted me, calming both him and me down.

I wasn’t sure what he said to that girl but I know it was pretty amazing because all the security and even Josh and Sandy had come find Niall and patted him on the back for his little speech.

We were led out of the venue and into cars. I had gone in Austin’s truck with him and we just followed the other guys to the hotel. We pulled into a fancy looking hotel and I was surprised to not find any fans outside.

We made it into the lobby okay and Paul proceeded up to the front desk to check us in. He walked back over to us with room keys.

“Okay the rooms are Michael and Calum, Ashton and Luke, Tessa and Austin, Harry and Liam, Louis and Zayn, and Niall you get your own room this time.”

Niall cheered as we all grabbed our room keys, obviously thrilled to not have to share a room with anyone. He walked over to me, bumping hips with me for the 50th time that day.

“Come hang out with me in my room?”

I nodded and giggled, hopping into the elevator with him since I was terrified of being in them with a huge mass of people.

I held my breath the entire way up and as soon as it dinged, I let it out, rushing onto the floor.

“You’re that claustrophobic, huh?”

I nodded and smiled.

“So which room is yours?”

“The one right in front of you, I believe.”

He walked in front of me and swiped his hotel card, the door clicking and opening. He pushed it all the way open and smiled, seeing his bags already in there.

“Home, sweet home.”

I laughed and rolled my eyes, playfully pushing his shoulder.

“More like Hotel, sweet Hotel.”

He shrugged and collapsed on the couch.

“I’m exhausted. Want to watch a movie later?”

“Yeah, as long as I get to pick it out!”

He nodded and smiled.

“Deal, now come over here. I want to get to know you better.”

I hesitantly walked over, sitting down next to him. He immediately wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer. I was practically sitting on his lap. I turned to look over at him and didn’t realize how close we were.

“What do you want to know, pop star?”

He started tracing circles on my shoulder and flashed me a smile.

“Everything.”

I sighed and looked away, lying down so my head was in his lap. He looked down at me and chuckled.

“Sure, I don’t mind being a pillow.”

I rolled my eyes at his sarcastic remark and thought for a minute before answering.

“Well, if you must know, my names Tessa Riley, I’m 16 and I’m from the ghetto part of the states, Detroit.”

Niall tensed but laughed it off.

“What else? Do you like unicorns and rainbows?”

My eyebrows furrowed together but I rolled my eyes, deciding to brush off his little remark.
