Designing One Direction's House

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Hannah's POV

I watched Harry retreat to the living room because of the small table. I'd have to get them a bigger one, tomorrow. I began to space out, thinking about furniture for the flat. It was like my dream house, it wasn't overly big, but it was definitely not small. There was so much space and each room had a cozy feeling to it. Ideas ran through my head when I heard an angel interrupt my train of thought.

"Um, hello? Hannah? Aren't ya going to eat somethin'? I mean, I'll have your slice for you, if you want." I looked up to see that Niall had put a plate in front of me with a slice of pizza on it. I then laughed at his offer to eat it for me.

"Sorry, I kind of spaced out.." I replied. Niall smiled and then took his second slice of pizza out of the box. He folded it and took a bite, devouring more than half the slice. Dayum!

Niall and I ate silently, when I decided to make some conversation. "So, um.." Niall looked up at me, his sky blue eyes shining. I blushed and forgot what I was gonna say. I didn't want to look stupid so I said the first thing that popped into my head.

"You have beautiful eyes." Niall went red and looked down, breaking our mutual gaze. After realising what I had said, I blushed even more, making Niall let out a small chuckle. 

"Thanks, love." He whispered. Love. He called me love. It didn't really have any effect on me coming from the other boys, but when Niall said it, my heart jumped even higher into my throat. Could he hear my heart beating?

"And by the way, you have gorgeous eyes, too." Niall smirked as he complimented me. He took a fourth slice and then walked out into the living room. I sat there in shock. I didn't even choke out a  thank you. Oh well..

I glanced at my watch. It was getting late, so I decided to go. I had already overstayed my welcome. 

"Bye, boys! I can't wait to continue working with you all!" I chirped. Five pairs of eyes looked up at me.

"Goodbye, love!" Louis said as he ran over and hugged me. Harry then joined the hug and whispered in my ear, "Later babe. Dream about me tonight." I looked at him to see him wink at me. I got butterflies and my cheeks burned. 

Zayn and Liam then hugged me, too. Oh my goodness, 4/5 members of One Direction have hugged me. Wait, 4/5? Niall!

I looked at the sofa to see him sitting there. He had been looking at me, but his eyes switched over to the TV when I met his gaze. I  felt something inside of me break. Why didn't he give me a hug? Well, it's not like I'm some hot celebrity. I guess the time we spent together today was just him trying to be friendly to someone who would be spending a lot of time at his home. Yeah, that was it.

I felt so stupid to think he could've have maybe-kinda-sorta liked me. Tears began to fill my eyes so I quickly closed the door and ran to my car.

Niall's POV

The door slammed shut. I looked up from the television to see that Hannah had left. I let out a sigh of relief, attracting Harry's attention. He frowned.

"Did you..want her to leave?" Harry asked with a curious look in his eye.

No, of course not! I wanted her to stay! I was stupid not to hug her or even say goodbye. Why can't I be more friendly, like Louis? I was such a quiet, shy idiot. I wanted to apologize, but she probably didn't even notice.

"Um, no. Why would  you think that? " I said with a sheepish grin. Harry raised his eyebrows. "I don't know. Never mind."

I shrugged and checked my phone. I answered all of my texts and checked my twitter. Shit! Nonne of us asked Hannah for her twitter. I wondered if anyone had her number.. I missed her already.

"Does anybody have Hannah's number?" I asked the lads.

They all smirked and I blushed. "Aww, does little Nialler want to ring Hannah?" Harry cooed. I rolled my eyes. "No, I just thought it would be cool if we followed her on twitter. Besides, we should have her number. She will be coming her often. We might need it, ya know? What if she runs late one day? Then we'd be able to ask her if everything was alright and stuff." I rambled. I scratched the back of my neck after.

The smirks grew on everyone's face. "Sure, sure." Louis said with a cheeky grin. "Whatever you say." I blushed. "AW! LITTLE NIALL IS EMBARRASSED!" He screamed.

"Am not!" I yelled back. "But seriously, who has her number?"

"I do." Liam said. Of course he would. Sometimes his responsible nature was annoying, but I love Daddy Direction. My phone vibrated and I saw that I had a text from Liam with Hannah's number attached. I flashed him a hopeful smile and replied.

To: Liam/Daddy Direction

Thanks buddy!

From: Liam/Daddy Direction

No problem Nialler! :)

I added her as a contact and was about to send her a text when Zayn piped up.

"I just remembered! Harry and Niall.. my room. Now."

My eyes widened. Zayn wasn't a mean guy, why did I feel nervous? Then I realised what this was about. Or should I say, who this was about.

Zayn's POV 

"Come in, sit down." I said as they followed me into the room. They sat on the bed and I plopped down onto the floor. 

"What's up, Zayn?" Niall asked. 

"I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that you two fancy Hannah." I replied.

Harry smirked and blushed a bit. Niall just looked down at the floor.

"Is that correct?" I interrogated. 

"Yes." They exclaimed in unison. I chuckled a bit, but stopped myself. Remain serious, Zayn.

"Well, I've also noticed that she is beginning to come in between you two. This band isn't a group of people who are easily split up by girls. We are best friends, practically brothers. If you guys are going to let your feelings destroy your friendship, Hannah isn't going to work here anymore. As much as we all love her already, it's the only appropriate decision for this kind of situation." I said in a serious tone.

Harry looked a little surprised by my words, whereas Niall was nodding in agreement. 

Niall looked up at me. "Sorry, Zayn. But I kind of like her a lot, and-" 

"Also I like her." Harry interrupted.

"Yeah, yeah I know." I said.

"What are we going to do?" Niall asked.

"Well, you guys are going to remain best friends. No fighting over her, understand? I don't care about how much you fancy her. A girl isn't worth the friendships in this band, am i right?" Both boys nodded. "Exactly. So if she ends up choosing one of you over the other, move on. Don't get upset and try to keep the jealousy to a minimum."

"Alright." Harry said. He gave Niall a big bear hug. We all laughed and I heard a sniffle.

Liam and Louis were in the doorway. "THAT. WAS. BEAUTIFUL!" Louis cried. "I am so proud of you Zayn. Oh, how you lads mature!" Liam exclaimed. Soon we were all hugging and laughing. We went back to the living room to watch some movies before we all went to bed.
