Simon Cowell's Daughter

Chapter 35: Date with Zayn

Niall POV:

We leave her room and head back to ours. Neither Zayn or I said a word to each other. Knowing that our mind is occupied on other things. Mostly about Ariel.

At this point I don't know what Ariel will say. She just seems so unsure about on what we told her. What if we lost her? I can't lose Ariel. She really means everything to me even as a friend.

I take a deep breath and let it out. I lay back and close my eyes trying to calm myself down.

"Hey Niall."

I open my eyes and turn my head to Zayn's direction.

"Do you want to flip a coin on who gets to take Ariel out on a date first?" Zayn says flipping a quarter.

"She hasn't even answered us yet." I point out to him.

He shrugs. "It doesn't hurt. If she says no then it's no. If she says yes at least we know who takes her out first."

He's does have a point. I nod.

"Heads or tails?" He asks me getting ready to flip the coin.

"Tails." I call it.

Zayn flips the coin and falls onto his hand. We both look at the quarter and saw that it's heads. Zayn smiles widely. I groan and bury my face on the pillow.

Of course he gets his way.

Two hours have passed and still nothing from Ariel. I know we told Ariel to take her time but I wish she could hurry up and make  up  her mind already.

Ariel POV:
Just as Zayn and Niall left, Liam came in the room 15 minutes later. He sits right next to me on the little sofa.

I continued watching the Princess and the Frog trying to get my mind off on what the boys and I just talked about.

Seeing from the corner of my eye,  Liam keeps on looking back at me every few seconds then returning his attention to the screen of the television.

Starting to get annoyed and knowing he wanted to say something. I groan and decided to pause the movie. On cue my stomach grumbles like crazy. Making both Liam and I laugh.

"Come on I know a place to eat. There was a cafe down at the lobby area." Liam gets up from his spot and pulls me up with him.

I grab my wallet and my keycard as we head out the door. Tony as usual was right behind me.

"Where are you two going?" Tony asks. Eyeing the both of us suspiciously.

"We're going to walk all over New Orleans. But too late we got caught." I sarcastically answer him.

Tony rolls his eyes and looks at Liam for an answer. Hoping that my answer wasn't true.

"Calm down mate. Ariel here learned her lesson last time. We're just going down to the little cafe that was seen at the lobby." Liam explains to him.

Tony nods and continues to follow us to the elevator. Once the elevator opens, we all got in and waited for us to go down to the lobby. None of us said one word while we were in the elevator. Awkward silence filled in.

The door finally opens and we got out of it as soon as possible. We spot the cafe at the corner of the lobby. Just as we went inside the scent of pastries, coffee and sweets filled our noses.
