Chey kept a slight frown on her face as she placed her coffee cup in the sink, glancing outside, seeing everybody so happy with each other. The frown slowly was being replaced with a small smile, it was nice to see the girls happy for once. Shaking her head, she sighed, knowing it wouldn't last much longer. Chey could hear footsteps behind her, hearing them stop right out by the kitchen door.
"Don't even talk to me. It will be the worst mistake of your life right now. I'm getting the bus fixed, and then you can gladly get back to your life." With that, she left out the door, not even glancing back at Paul and Tom, who sighed.
"You really did screw up big time, Paul. An not just with her, I noticed this morning, you had also hurt the boys with what you said." Tom placed his hand on Paul's shoulder, who glanced at him with a confused face. "You haven't noticed have you? I haven't seen the boys this happy in awhile, I wouldn't be surprised if the boys started liking these girls. They can be themselves around them and not have to worry about anything, or faking who they are." Tom shook his head as he explained, before getting a cup of coffee. Letting Paul piece the rest together by himself.

Chey finally got to work on the bus, not paying attention to what everyone else was doing, or noticing Niall walking up to her. Too many thoughts and things were running through her head at this point, and she didn't know what she was going to do, especially with her little crush on said boy. "What do you need, Niall?" She glanced up at him from under the bus, raising a slightly dirty eyebrow.
Niall shrugged lightly, "Just wanted to see what you were up to really." He paused lightly, "And maybe learn some things." At that point she scooted out a little bit, allowing her to sit up.
"As in mechanic wise or car wise?" Niall sent her a cheeky smile,
"Both if possible?" Chey shook her head lightly, but allowed it anyways.
"Alright, come on."

Allie and Lily exchanged glances as they worked in the field, seeing the entire thing play out with Chey and Niall. They were a little surprised that she let him help out with the fixing, but had a feeling her small crush on him had turned into a full blown crush at this point.
"You think she'll find out about this morning?" Lily rose a brow at her, turning and heading back into the barn to finish cleaning the stalls as Louis and Zayn helped with the grooming.
"One way or another, but hopefully not from Niall." Lily paused, "Tho, it might not be that bad if he told her." Allie rose a brow, thinking it over and deciding it, nodding. It wouldn't be that bad if he told her.
"What are you two girls talking about over there?" Zayn rose a brow, along with Louis, wanting to be a little nosy with their conversation. The girls shook their head,
"Nothing that concerns you two, get back to work or no lunch." Allie said, getting back into one of the stalls, Lily in another, too much thoughts twirling in their heads. The boys glanced at each other, wondering what was going on with them two.

Tori stretched as she finished up weeding the small garden they had, with Liam's help at that. Liam helped Tori out of the garden with one hand, gardening tools in the other.
"I never took you for one to be into gardening that much." She confessed, dusting her hands off together, him chuckling at that.
"I have a few secrets of my own." He grinned, making her blush a little as she shook her head.

Harry glanced up from the spot on the couch when he heard the soft sound of footsteps coming down the steps. Smiling softly when he found it was a sleepy Cher, who was rubbing her eyes.
"Afternoon sleepyhead." Cher blinked, tilting her head at him sleepily, slightly unsure.
"Afternoon Harry.." she murmured, almost walking into the wall on her way to the kitchen for coffee. Harry chuckled at her sleepy state, finding it slightly adorable, noticing how he loved all her little quirks an what not. Cher sighed in relief when she sipped her coffee, sitting next to him on the couch, not noticing how either Tom or Paul watched them from the stairs. Tom sent Paul a look along the lines of 'this is what I was telling you.' before heading back to his lovely room.

Chey sighed as both her and Niall, got out from under the bus. Dusting her hands off, she grabbed the rag outta her back pocket to wipe the grease off her hands and fingers before giving it to Niall to use.
"Not bad, Horan." She smirked lightly, closing everything back up before heading onto the bus and seeing if it would turn over. Chuckling, when he joined her on the bus. Turning the key, it started right up with no problems, meaning their hard work paid off. Meaning, the boys would be able to leave and get back to their own lives, without the interference of them.
"I did have a pretty great teacher to help." He grinned, wanting nothing more to kiss her right then and there, but held himself back from turning it into something awkward. She shook her head, turning it off before getting off to clean everything up off the ground and back in the garage. Niall bit his lip, torn between telling her his feelings and this mornings event or just keeping them all inside.
