Magic (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter Five.

I hadn't talked to my dad in almost 2 weeks, and shit outside of my friendships and relationship with Liam have been hitting the fan. Paparazzi follow Arielle and I around everywhere. It's taking a lot of adjusting, and we're kind of struggling with it.

"All I wanted was to get a God damn Starbucks without being followed around having my picture taken. What the hell are they even going to do with our pictures? We're not famous, no one cares about what kind of coffee drink we like!" she said as we sat down at the Starbucks and the paparazzi stood outside of the window looking in at us, taking photos.

"Who knows what they're going to do with it. All I know is we can't even be seen talking to other guys or they're going to twist it into us being crazy sluts," I said.

"This is a little bit ridiculous don't you think?"

"Are you trying to ask me if I think this is all worth it?"

"Kind of."

"Arielle, you have loved Niall long before you even met him. You can't let these people ruin your relationship with Niall. That's what they want. They want the drama that comes along with their jobs. They're normal dudes, the fact that they're famous should be irrelevant to your relationship, as should all the people that are taking photos of us for God knows what reason."

"I guess you're right."

"You're God damn right I'm right."

She rolled her eyes and laughed. We finished our drinks and then left the Starbucks. We met up with Eleanor to go shopping.

"I think I'm getting fat," Arielle said.

"Why would you ever say that?" Eleanor asked.

"My pants are tight, I could hardly button these this morning."

"Well dating Niall comes with eating a lot of food."

"You're right about that. Maybe I should start working out."

"We could start running Hyde Park in the mornings," I said.

"That sounds like a good idea," Arielle said.

"Right on, we'll start tomorrow."

Arielle wasn't very happy that she had to buy her pants 2 American sizes larger than normal, but I told her we'd get her back down to her normal size soon enough, and she won't even have to stop eating Nando's 3 times a week with Niall.

When we got back to our house, we desperately needed to clean.

"I hate cleaning," Arielle whined as she did the dishes in the kitchen while I got out the vacuum.

"Well, it's a part of living on our own."

"I know but it sucks."

After about 2 hours of cleaning, the boys all came over for a movie night with all the girls, except Kendall who had gone back to LA.

"I think I want to dye my hair," Arielle said as we all sat on the couch, not really watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

"Why?" Niall asked, twirling a strand of her hand with his fingers, "I like your hair."

"I just feel like I need a change."

"I could talk to Lou, see if she'll do your hair for you," Gemma said.

"That would be like, the best thing to ever happen to me in my whole life."

"Hey now," Niall said, making us all laugh.

"Except for you babe," she said, kissing him lightly.

I shivered, and Liam grabbed the blanket from behind us and covered us both up.

"Ahh, and that's how it all began," Arielle said, "With Sam being cold, as she always is, and Liam being a gentlemen, as he always is."

I laughed, "As sweet as the actual notion was, I was weirded out."

"How come?" Zayn asked.

"Because I had no idea who he was, it was too dark outside to tell. All I knew was some random guy was giving me his jacket and telling me to text him."

"That does sound creepy now that you say it," Liam said, "Sorry bout that babe."

He kissed my cheek and I scrunched up my nose and smiled.

"Oh damn, do that again I need a picture of that," Gemma said.

We did it again, just for Gemma's photo op.

"Yeah that's going on Instagram, if you two don't mind that is."

"Of course not," Liam said, then everyone looked at me.

"Yeah go ahead," I smiled.

"Sweet," she said with a smile.

"Have you ever just like... Sat and thought about what Perrie and Zayn's baby would look like?" Eleanor said.

"Multiple times a day actually," Arielle said, making us laugh, "It'd be adorable and we all know it."

"I think that Sam will be first to get pregnant," Louis said.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Just a hunch."

"Well, I don't think so."

"Well who do you think will be first?" Perrie asked.

"I'm not really sure honestly. Who knows, maybe by some immaculate conception, we'll all get pregnant at the same time, hopefully years from now."

"That would be really weird," Harry said.

"It would be quite weird," Niall said.

"Well it's got to happen now," Eleanor said.

"Could you imagine Gemma and Ashton's little British Aussie baby? Awwwww," Arielle said.

We laughed and just shook our heads.

"It would be quite adorable," Harry said, looking down at his phone.

"Oh really now?" Gemma asked him.

"Wait what?" he said, looking back up.

"Do you even know what you just said would be adorable?" I asked.

"Uh... Perrie and Zayn's baby right?"

"Nope, Gemma and Ashton's."

"Yeah no that can't happen," he shook his head.
