I went back to The Agency. There was one thing that kept bothering me. How the hell did the agents get to me so quickly? Had they been watching me the whole time? Or had they been watching Xander the whole time? Or both? I needed answers and I wasnt in the mood for bullshit.
I took the elevator straight up to Master's office.
"Welcome back." He was a little bit too calm.
"So are you going to tell me what the heck is going on or am I going to have to guess?" I was pissed and I was crossing boundaries but I didnt care. "How were the agents able to get to me so quickly and then let Xander go?"
"We didnt let him go. He escaped. He knew we were following you, hoping to draw him out. We've discovered that he is working with a team. He has friends and some powerful ones at that."
I already knew that. The men who attacked me the first time were some of his goons, as I suspected. I finally allowed myself to have a seat. I wasnt going to get any answers if I kept everything to myself. "He looked a lot bigger than from before. I think both of his assaults on me have been to test me; to see where my skills are. I feel like he's trying to find my weaknesses. This is not the last time I will see him."
"We now know that you are his target but his friends seem to have some interest in the boys. While we were cleaning up the mess that Xander made, someone tried to attack the boys but luckily Paul and his team were able to take the man down. The boys are in a secure location now."
"Good. At least they're safe." I couldnt imagine what I would do if something happened to the boys. I loved them too much.
"Be safe. Something big is going to happen soon." With that he turned away from me. I left the room and The Agency. I headed to the boys.

Liam's P.O.V.
I think we all had enough excitement for one day. We were all okay but Paul wouldnt tell us where JJ was, only that she was okay and would be with us soon enough. The boys and I were starting to get worried. It had been hours since we saw her drop Niall off at the studio. She was like a little sister to me.
Just then she walked into the room. She looked like she was really worried and on the verge of tears. We all ran to her and gave her a big group hug. She hugged us back.
"Are you guys ok? I heard what happened. Thank goodness you're safe." She smiled at us but her eyes still looked sad.
"Yeah we're fine love but where have you been? We've been worried sick!" Louis asked as he tugged playfully at her ear.
"Sorry I just had some business to take care of. I didnt expect it to take this long." She was holding something back but we didnt press her. We chatted for a bit but then we were all bored.
"I'm going to die from boredom!" Louis complained.
"Well we wouldnt want that. How about a movie night?" Everyone liked that idea. We all got into our pajamas (shorts and shirts) and regrouped in the lobby.
Harry whistled as soon as he saw JJ. She was wearing a cute little pink polyester night dress w/ straps that ended mid-thigh. She had her long hair in a ponytail with a pink bow and bunny slippers. She was just so adorable.
"Well arent you just a little sexy kitten?"
"Oh shut up Lou." She rolled her eyes and took a seat. Harry and Niall sat next to her. They were all sharing a blanket. I wondered how awkward she felt being stuck in that love triangle.
"What should we watch guys?" Zayn got right to the point.
"How about Toy Story 3? I havent seen that yet."
"WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT KIND OF LIFE DO YOU HAVE?" I didnt realize I was yelling until I was finished and they all started laughing. "I'm terribly sorry. I didnt mean to yell at you." I was so embarassed.
"It's okay cuz. Now put the movie in so I can know what all the fuss is about." She was so carefree. I liked that.
JJ's P.O.V.
The movie was so funny and really good. I tried to focus on it but Harry kept distracting me. He kept whispering in my ear and I was constantly swatting his hand away from my thigh.
"Stop it. I'm trying to watch the movie." I complained. Liam told us to shush and watch the movie.
"I cant help it. You just look so sexy tonight."
"Well thank you. You also look fine." I didnt want to flirt with him. I was well aware that Niall was sitting right next to me. As I was watching the movie, Niall grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. I looked up at him and he was watching the movie as if nothing happened. I curled my fingers over his and used my thumb to slowly rub the back of his hand. I saw his beautiful smile slowly brighten his face. He was breathtaking.
The movie was over and I headed towards the bathroom. On my way back Harry pulled me to the side.
"So what's up?" I knew exactly what he was asking but I didnt know how to respond.
"Well...um...so.." Oh gosh. I was sounding like Harry now.
"It's Niall isnt it?" I looked up sadly into those amazing green eyes. I didnt want to hurt him but I couldnt help my feelings.
"I'm sorry Harry. I dont want to hurt you."
"It's okay babe. As long as you're happy. I'll get over it." He kissed me on my forehead, smiled and then walked back to the lobby. I followed shortly and sat next to Niall.
"Are you okay?" Niall asked.
"I am now." I smiled and cuddled next to him. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to his chest. He smelled incredible. We watched Paranormal Activity 2 and Niall comforted me during the few scary parts. We would then giggle at my reactions.
Everyone fell asleep except for me and Niall. Paul came over and said he would stay with the boys. Niall walked me to my assigned hotel room.
"So you and Harry...?" Niall tried to look like it didnt bother him but I could tell that it did.
"There's nothing between me and Harry. I've made that clear to him and he understands." I grabbed his hands gently and held them in my hands.
"In that case I was wondering if...you'd want to be my girlfriend?" I looked up at him in shock and awe. Did he really just ask me to be his girlfriend?
"Omg of course I will." I jumped into his arms and he spun me around. We started laughing. Being with him is so natural.
He set me down and we stared into each others eyes for a little while. Then I kissed him. He reached down and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his torso. He took me into my room and laid me gently on the bed. His tongue explored my mouth and I loved it.
"I want you." His accent was so sexy. He started kissing my neck and I took off his shirt. I bit my lip as I looked at his toned abs and his biceps. I lifted my arms as he took off my dress in one swift motion. His hands ran down my arms, sending chills through me. I sucked on his neck working my way to his chest.
It wasnt long before we were both naked. It was an amazing night. He was so gentle yet passionate at the same time. His intensity made everything better. I fell asleep on his chest, the sound of his heartbeat rocking me to sleep.
