Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

44++New Song and New Sweatshirt

Niall's POV

"You've never seen Cheetah Girls?" Aly gasped at me.

"For the last time, no! I didn't watch those types of Disney movies." I simply explained to the red-headed girl.

"They were the girl band." she added.

"Hey!" Leigh-Anne, Jesy, Jade, and Perrie all scowled at her.

"You guys weren't even a band yet! Calm down." Aly snapped and the X Factor winners laughed. The six of us stopped at the elevator.

"What floor are we on right now?" Leigh-Anne asked.

"I think G." I replied.

"This is our floor then. Where are you two at?" Jade asked us.

"Um..." I looked to Aly and she shrugged. "I actually think it's the next floor up so H."

"Alrightie then. See ya'll in the morning!" Perrie said and the rest of the girls said good night to us.

I went to press the button but Alyson swatted my hand away. "I want to do it!"

I backed away with a smile and let her press the button for the elevator doors to open. An older man stepped off the elevator once the doors slid open. I gestured for Aly to go first, being the gentleman that I am, and I pressed the H button before she could.

She frowned and I felt bad so I promised her that we'll stay on the elevator longer so she could press another button. If pushing buttons makes her happy, then so be it. I'd give anything to keep a smile on her face.

"Can we just take a minute to act like Buddy from Elf?" Alyson asked.

I had to think for a second to figure out what she was referring to and then I remembered the elevator seen. I laughed and said, "But we need to go up!"

"Yeah, but we can give the elevator a harder time. C'mon, Niall. Don't be a Debby Downer." she baby-talked me until I finally agreed.

On the count of three, we started jumping in sync and I burst into hysteria when I noticed Aly holding her chest to keep everything under control. Her face turned bright red and I laughed even more.

"How are you feeling right now?" she asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You drank a lot at the party. You were literally talking to a bush thinking it was Harry." she laughed at the sight from earlier this evening.

"I'm fine." I lied. I've always been a heavy drinker, but I felt like I was going to topple over any second from all that alcohol they were serving. Hopefully Alyson will be tired and we could just call it a night.

We found our hotel room and I swiped in the key card. "After you!" I gestured for her to walk first like the gentleman that I am.

"Why thank you," she said in a southern voice as she skipped on into the room. I laughed and followed after her, closing the door behind me.

"Are you tired?" hoping she would say yes.

She fell back on the bed in response and spread her arms out. "I'm wiped! My feet are killing me too."

She kicked off her heels and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Can I come with?" I asked, knowing she'd say no but it doesn't hurt to try.

Aly flicked my nose and said, "Funny." and walked to the bathroom.

I saw a complimentary bottle of champagne on the counter with a royal blue ribbon around it. I honestly wasn't sure if Aly was a drinker. I never saw her drink anything besides a bottle of water tonight and she's never even talked about alcohol before. Oh well...more for me!
