Nicole's POV
After another interesting 3 hour journey home, we finally arrived back in London. We got back to my flat at 11:30 A.M. Louis went back to his flat to shower and relax, and I did the same. I was taking a bubble bath, listening to Ed Sheeran, and trying to clear my head, when I heard my cell phone ring. I grabbed a towel, and dried myself off, before I ran into the kitchen to my phone. I made it just in time, it was an in coming call from Niall. "Hello Nialler." I sing-songed into the phone. "Hey Nicki, you and Louis back in London yet?" he asked in a serious tone. "Yeah , we just got back a few hours ago." I said matter-of-factly. "Is he there?" he quizzed. "No, he went home to relax for a little, why?" I asked, wondering why he was asking all these questions. "Can I come over for a bit? I sort of need to talk to you." he said in a hushed tone. "Uh, yeah. Yeah sure. Just give me like 15 minutes, okay?" I said, a little eager to know what he wants to talk about. "Alright, bye." he hung up before I could say goodbye back. He seems like he's in a bad mood. Niall is always so carefree and happy...something must be really bugging him. I went into my room and slipped into some black leggings and my word bubble jumper. I let my wet hair fall into ringlets aroud my shoulders. I put on some pencil liner and mascara, before exiting my room. I took a seat on the couch, and waited for Niall's arrival. 5 minutes later, heard the doorbell ring, I jumped up off the couch and hurried to the front door. I opened it, revealing a very flustered looking blonde Irish boy.
"Hey Nialler, you okay? You seemed kind of upset on the phone." I questioned him, with a worried tinted smile tugging at my lips. "Can I come in?" he asked, completely ignoring my previous question. I moved aside, letting him into my flat. He went straight to the couch, and sat down. I went to the kitchen to get myself a bottle of water. "Do you want something to eat?" I yelled from the kitchen. "No thanks." he said quietly. He turned down food? He's definitely not okay. I walked into the living room, and joined him on the couch. I gave him a faint smile and jumped right to it. "What did you want to talk to me about? You made it sound pretty urgent on the phone." "Nicole, I know you and Louis are together now, and you're having his kid, but I can't keep this in any longer." he paused, and I just sat there confused at what he was on about. "Nicki...I like you. I like you a lot." he said, looking me straight in the eyes. I was a little taken aback. "Like as a friend, right Nialler?" I questioned, knowing exactly how he meant it. "Not exactly.." he said, looking away this time. I sat there for a minute, trying to figure out away to fix this. "Niall, look at me," he turned his head in my direction, facing me once again. "Niall, you are an amazing guy. Any girl would be lucky to have you. You are funny, adorable, smart, and one of the nicest guys I've ever met. And I love you so much, but, not exactly in that way. I'm with Louis...I'm having his child. I'm really sorry.." I said, trying to sound as sincere as possible. He sighed, and I knew he was embarrassed and dissappointed. "How about, me, you and the boys go out dancing tonight, yeah? Maybe we can find both you and Zayn girlfriends." I said, with an eager grin on my face. "Yeah, sure. Why not. Thanks for letting me down easy Nicki...I just needed to tell you. Things aren't going to be awkward between us right..?" he asked. "Of course not! Things will only be awkward if we make them awkward. But let's not tell Louis about this..." I said, hoping he'd understand why. "I won't." he said forcing a weak smile onto his face. I pulled him into a small, but comforting hug, and he left.
I called Lou, and told him about our new plans for tonight. He picked up on the second ring. "Hello?" he chirped through the phone. I smiled at his seemingly good mood. "Hello love!" I said happily back. "What's up babe?" he questioned. "Well, I think that me you, the boys, Danielle, and Jess should go out dancing tonight, what do you say?" I cheerily quizzed him. "I think that sounds like a lovely idea, I'll call the boys, and you call the girls?" he asked in the same happy tone. "Yes, but I already talked to Niall about it, so you don't need to call him!" I informed him, hoping he wouldn't ask any further questions about it. "Oh, alright. What time were thinking on going?" he asked. "I was thinking 9?" "Sounds great, I'll see you're beautiful face at 9 then." he sing-songed. "Yes you will, I love you." I chirped back. "I love you too." he said, and with that we both hung up.
