As I turned to face the humongous mall, I saw a young girl, about in her twenties, sitting on a bench. Figuring it was Gemma, I walked up to her. When I got close enough, she stood up and embraced me in a hug. “I really hope you’re Desiree. If not, this is awkwaaard.” She seemed so bubbly. I kind of liked it. “Ha, no, I am. Your brother, Harry, thinks we’re going to best friends. I’m glad I get to meet you.” I said with a smile. “You’re just so cute! Of course we’re going to be best friends! By the way, love your outfit! But, we only have 3 hours to shop! Let’s go!” She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.

We went shopping at Forever 21, Delia’s, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, Jack Wills and a few other places and picked out 2-3 outfits from each store. I asked Gemma if she wanted me to pay for some of the more expensive things but she just denied. “Okay, we only have 30 more minutes before Paul’s supposed to be here, so how does some star bucks sound?” “Sounds great!” I exclaimed. I actually kind of like this girl. I just think she might be my new best friend...

“Uhm, can I have a tall double chocolate chip frappe with low fat milk. Hold the whipped cream.” She sounded so fancy. My order was less, uhm, rich girl, I guess you could say. “I’ll just have a tall vanilla been frappucino please.” “Sure thing. And what name do I need to call out?” The worker said smiling at me. Gemma snapped her fingers to get the attention back to her. “Gemma Styles.” She said with a sort of jealous smirk. “It’ll be right out.” Once he had turned around and Gemma and I had taken our seats Gemma said, “Oh, My. God. Did you see that?! He totally fancies you!” She was practically fangirling over something that had happened to me. I shook my head and let it roll off. It wasn’t like he was that cute. He was definitely nothing compared to the Irish sex god I had met yesterday.

“Gemma Styles?” The worker called out, implying that our order was ready. We walked over and grabbed our coffees. As I went to grab the coffee from the worker, our hands met. And, I swear, in that split second, I saw him wink at me. I did nothing and took my coffee to the table. “O.M.G. It’s official. He totally fancies him! You should go ask for his number!” At that moment, I turned to him and saw him smile at me. I just turned back to my coffee and took a sip of it. “No, I’m okay. I kind of like someone else right now. Even though I doubt he even likes me as a friend. He probably thinks I’m a weirdo...” it really hurt saying this. I really did like Niall. He’s one of the first people to actually make me feel like London is my home. “Why would anyone think that Desiree? You’re amazing! I’m sure he likes you! Now, tell me, who is it?!” “Uhm…” “Oh, come on! You can trust me!” Right as I was about to answer Gemma, her phone rang. Thank goodness. She looked at the caller id and answered quickly. “Hello? Oh, okay. We’ll be waiting outside. Bye.” After she hung up, she took another drink of her coffee and said, “That was Paul, he’ll be here in 5. Come on!!” She hopped out of her seat, grabbed my hand and led me to a bench outside.

Gemma and I sat outside exactly 5 minutes before Paul and the boys pulled up. Gemma helped me put my 567 bags in the trunk and we hopped in. This time I sat on the edge beside Gemma, who sat beside Niall. “So, did you two have fun?” Paul asked from the front seat. Gemma started blabbering before I could even take a breath and start speaking. “It was wonderful! We picked out the perfect outfits for Desiree. After we got done shopping, we had a little extra time so we went to star bucks. And while we were there, Desiree found herself a maaan.” As she said the last word, she nudged my shoulders. I shook my head but by this time, everyone’s attention was caught and their heads were turned towards me. I looked at Niall. He looked a little upset. I had to set the facts straight. “No, it’s not like that.” I said, turning towards Gemma. “The worker thought I was cute or something. But, he just didn’t really catch my attention.” This time, when I looked at Niall, he looked a lot happier.

“Whatever. Desiree’s got a man!” Louis joked. I sat there, pouting, only playing along with Louis joke of course. “Guys, leave her alone. She’ll find a man when she wants one!” Niall said. He sounded a little mad... “Aw, does Niall have a crush on Desiree and is upset she likes someone?” Harry said, pouting his lips out sarcastically. Louis and Harry seemed to be partners in crime. “Shut up!” This time Niall punched Harry in the arm. “Okay guys, calm down. If Desiree found a guy she fancies, we should all be happy for her.” Paul said calmly from the front seat. We all faced forward, not saying anything. The rest of the car ride was silent but luckily, we arrived back to Paul’s house within a short amount of time.

We all piled out of the car like clowns and went inside. Paul went straight for the couch in the main living room, along with Gemma, all 5 boys flew up the stairs to the game room, and I followed behind them but I went in my bedroom instead to change. As I was roaming through my drawers, I realized I left my bags in the trunk. I walked back out to the car and grabbed them. I went back upstairs, but this time I wasn’t alone. Niall had followed me into my room. When I turned around to face him, he said, “I thought might want a little help. I hope you don’t mind...” “No, its fine. That’s actually very nice of you. Just don’t look in the Victoria Secret bag.” I said, starting to take out some clothes and hang them up. He just laughed. When we got done, the only bag I had left to put up was my Victoria Secret bag, which I would do once he left the room. “Well, thank you for the help. I’m going to change now.” “Sure thing.” He smiled and closed the door behind him.
