Someday {Niall Horan}

Chapter 7: Happy Birthday

Hey guys, I'm so happy to reach 63 reads. I know that it's not much, some people have millions, but I still realllly appreciate it. :) Enjoy the chapter.

Emily's POV

"Oh. My. God." was the last thing that comes from my mouth. As I enter the dressing room I find myself in a jungle of flowers and balloons in all different colors. Happy Birthday the sign read above my large mirror. Wait, what was the date? I check my phone to see that it is in fact June 3rd, my birthday. I must still be drunk to not realize that I turn 19 today, but then again, I haven't actually celebrated my birthday since I turned 16.

"Surprise, do you like it?" asks a voice behind me in a familiar Irish accent.

"How did you know?" I ask.

"Um, I was just organizing the files as I noticed today's date in your folder." He replies.

"I didn't even know it was my birthday,"

"What do you mean, you didn't know it was your birthday?"

"I just...I have a really bad memory, and it doesn't help that I was just drunk the other night. Also, I haven't really celebrated my birthday for the last few years."

"Well then, I should invite you to have dinner at my flat tonight." he answers, surprising me. I completely forgot about our conversation in the car. Is it weird to have your boss take you out to dinner?

"So what, you can get me drunk again?" I say with a small smirk. He smiles.

"No, definitely not. I didn't realize you were so sensitive to alcohol." he laughs. "Well, I guess I'll see you later."

"Wait, I didn't give you an answer yet!" Before I could talk he just holds up his hand and walks away. "Thank you." I mumble to myself.

"Whoa, what happened in here?!" A voice asks. I turn around to see a very surprised Perrie.

"It's my birthday," I simply say.

"Well obviously, happy birthday, but I meant who did this?"

"Um," Should I tell her? Does it matter? "Um, Niall did actually," I decide to say.

"Niall?" she seems surprised. "As in our boss, Niall Horan?"

"Yes...." I say. I don't know why she seems so surprised. Hasn't he done this for everyone?

Without saying a word she leaves the room looking upset...maybe even a bit jealous.

----------

It's now lunchtime and I still haven't seen Perrie since this morning. I did a bit of modeling this morning, the usual, nothing special. For lunch I decide to sit with two other models who I haven't met yet, but they seem nice.

"How many carbs does this fucking sandwich have?" asks the girl I recognized as Aaliyah to her friend Mikayla.

"How should I know? Just eat whatever you want." she replies.

"No, I want to lose three pounds," Aaliyah says as if she can get any skinnier. She was definitely much prettier than I was, so was Mikayla.

"Aaliyah, I don't think you need to lose three pounds. If anything, I probably should." I cut in.

"Yeah, we should go exercise at my place," she says joyfully and I nod. It was then that Perrie came in, angry and hungry. She grabs her food and walks to our table. She sits down two chairs away from me and eats quietly, completely ignoring me.

"Jealous much?" I whisper to myself.

"So," Mikayla says, "I heard it was your birthday today, everyone's talking about how Niall decked out your dressing room. Right then, Perrie gets up throws her sandwich in the trash, and leaves. She really must be jealous...

"Yeah, doesn't he do that to everyone's dressing rooms on their birthday? You know, and wish them Happy Birthday?"

"Are you kidding?" Aaliyah asks. " You're lucky if he even talks to you. He's usually very quiet." she says. It doesn't make sense. Niall talks to me all the time. There's something going on, and I intend to figure out tonight at his flat.

Niall's POV

As I walk through the office everyone stares at me. Emily must have told someone about what I did to her dressing room. Damn, that girl. I should've just left it anonymous, I regret ever telling her. However, I don't regret inviting her to my flat tonight. I wanted to test her, find out more about her. There was nothing between us though, yet there was.

"Good afternoon," Harry says to me, I nod.

When I look through the giant wardrobe room, organized by model and date I check to find Emily's dress. I made sure that I got the right model to wear it. The dress costed thousands of dollars for fucks sake.

Finally, I find it. I now hold the baby blue Swarovski crystal encrusted gown that looks like it just fucking popped out of a fairytale. Emily had to wear it. The dress would just seem drab on Perrie, it wouldn't match Mikayla, Aaliyah, or any of the other girls, just Emily.

I take the elevator upstairs and set the gown on the handle of Emily's dressing room, but I change my mind and place it inside just in case somebody steals it. I start to walk to the elevator to go back downstairs when I see Perrie running from it, and it seems like she was running towards me. The fuck was going on? Before I could think she hugs me tightly, looks up at me and kisses me. I immediately pull away and look at her with confusion. She looks back at me, before,running off to her dressing room across the hall. I didn't know whether to go talk to her, or fire her. Probably fire her.

Perrie's POV

As I run away from the lunchroom my eyes fill with tears. I couldn't stand the sight of Emily. How could Niall treat her so differently? It didn't make any sense. I've had a crush on Niall since the first day I started working here and all of the sudden he turns to Emily and gives her what she wants. Spoiled bitch. She gets all the pretty clothes, takes her out to dinner, talks to her. He never talks to us!

I get out of the elevator to go to my dressing room when I see Niall. I glance at him once and that's all it takes. I start running towards him without control of my actions and hug him. He. Was. Mine. I look up at his confused, beautiful blue eyes and I just can take it, so I kiss him. Right as I do, he pulls away with his face full of confusion and disgust. It kills me inside, all I could do is run to my dressing room, so that's exactly what I do. I forget the world, I forget Niall, I forget Emily, I forget myself. I just sob in the corner, not making any improvements.

Emily's POV

After a long discussion with Aaliyah and Mikayla over lunch, talking about managing our weight, we all go back to work. Why did Perrie run off during lunch? Think about it, you think friends are wonderful? Try saying that after they start crying about something you apparently tried to do to them when you really didn't. Same goes for volcanoes. You think volcanoes are awesome? Say that to the ten thousand screaming corpses at Pompeii.

I still just don't understand. All that I could think about right now is my birthday dinner with Niall at his flat which Aaliyah explains is "completely unheard of" and my job. I go to the floor where my dressing room is and I open the door. I gasp as I see the sparkling blue Swarovski crystal gown on the side of the room.

Okayyyy, just in case you were wondering, I was suppose to put the birthday dinner in here too but I was worried the chapter would end up being too long. You may have noticed I switched through quite a few POVs in this chapter, trying something new ;). I also included characters from real life, my friends Aaliyah (Ally310) and Mikayla (kkandfray). Please comment, vote, or follow if you can, (it's okay if you don't) ;) Also, comment if you caught the TFIOS (The Fault in Our Stars) reference. <3
