Yes, Maybe, or No?

Chapter Nine

"Did you finish packing yet?" Niall whined from the bed. I sat on my suitcase and tried to zip it up. "God, why do girls need so many suitcases?" he asked, marveling at my four matching teal and white suitcases. 

I finally zipped up the last suitcase. "Don't worry, I have more where those came from!" I laughed, moving on to pack up my matching  teal and white duffel bag. 

Niall had packed two suitcases. "We're gonna be late if you keep this up. We have to get on the bus at 2 and right now is..." he checked his phone. "One thirty." 

"Go eat or something, I bought cookie dough ice cream," I demanded, shooing him away. He jumped off his bed. 

"Really? You're the best!" he hugged me and then kissed my cheek.

I blushed and pointed to the door. "Go!" he ran off and I smiled to myself. At this point in time, my life was perfect. We were going to start the tour today and we would visit my sister in just a few days. Then her life would be perfect for a little while. I quickly stuffed everything into my duffel, zipped it up, and put it with all my other stuff.

Slowly, I lugged every single bag and suitcase out to the foyer and Niall watched me from the bar, happily eating ice cream and laughing at my weakness. "You're so unathletic!" he teased. 

I rolled my eyes at him as I set down the last suitcase. "Shut up. I did track and field and football!" I reminded him. 

"Used to!" he retorted. I shrugged. Suddenly, his phone blared out Justin Beiber's "Baby" and Niall blushed. I snickered at his song selection. "What? I like him!" he whispered as he pulled out his phone and answered it with a hello. He listened for a moment. "Yeah, she just finished packing. Nandos? Yeah buddy!" he grinned at me and I raised an eyebrow at his obsession over Nandos. "Okay, see you later!" he exclaimed into the phone. 

Pulling on my white pea coat, I looked at him. "What'd he say?" I asked. 

"Oh, Harry says we have to be on the bus after we go to Nandos first and get some food," he replied happily. I laughed and pulled on my white knit Uggs over my dark wash skinny jeans. I had on a t shirt with the Eiffel Tower on it on under my coat. 

"Let's go," I stood up and grabbed some of my bags and usitcases. Niall grabbed his two suitcases and helped me with my last remaining suitcases. 

 We were met by light snowflakes and a cold wind. "Finally! We thought you'd never come!" Louis whooped, helping us carry out luggage onto the tour bus. Harry was shivering inside and Liam was trying to heat him up by giving him more jackets until he looked like a multicolored marshmallow. 

"Are we going to Nandos?" Liam asked after wrapping another scarf around Harry's neck. He probably had like, 5 coats on, 3 scarves, and who knows how many hats. 

Niall nodded frantically. "I hope so!"

I laughed and patted him on the cheek. "I'm sure we will," I conforted him. Then, I turned to Harry. "Get all that junk off and turn on a wonderful contraption called heating!" I informed him. 

"That's what I said..." Liam grumbled. Zayn came out from the bathroom, his hair all gelled neatly and swooped up. "Let's get this show on the road!" Liam announced and the bus started moving. Harry slowly took off all of the extra clothes, leaving him slightly better in a blue Jack Wills hoodie, jeans, and trainers. 

"Much better," I nodded. 

At Nandos, Niall ordered the whole restaurant and a lot of Peri-Peri chicken. I rolled my eyes as he took the food outside, his mouth watering and eyes gleaming. 

We all dug in. 

"Wow, you're eating as much as Nialler now!" Zayn exclaimed, looking at my paper plate filled with chicken bones and fries. 

I nodded and reached for another pice of chicken. I felt a hand grab my wrist and looked up to see Niall using his other hand to reach for the last piece of chicken. Fight on. 

"Liam! Help me!" I yelped as Niall grabbed the chicken. Liam laughed and snatched the chicken away from Niall. He then tossed it to Zayn. Zayn tossed it to me but I wrinkled my nose. "I don't want it now!" I wailed. A perfectly good piece of chicken. "It's been in your unwashed hands," I explained.

Louis snickered and Harry took the chicken from me and bit into it. "Perfectly fine. You want some?" he offered. I shook my head frantically. Then, I went to wash my hands and pulled out my phone to check my Twitter and messages. 

Ever since Niall had posted that tweet about us dating, a ton of replies had sprang up. Almost 50,000! I read a lot of them, most of them saying how happy people were for us, and stuff like that until I reached one. 

Jaycie1D: @NiallOfficial r u kidding me? @DelilahFontaine is just a charity case who got lucky and won that contest! this is probably some publicity stunt 

And there were others...

DelilahHate: @NiallOfficial seriously, i thought Savannah was perfect, not that stupid @DelilahFontaine who is probably gonna dump you after she's rich and famous. 

"Why do you read that?" Niall asked from behind the couch I was sitting on. I shrugged without looking up and then closed the app, moving onto texts and emails. 

Five new... Mainly all from my mom, saying she missed me and Daisy updates. 

Halle Bayne: Ah... Guess who I saw today!? N.I.C.K. text me back. he wants to talk to u

"Darn..." I muttered and clicked reply. I sent a quick no way to her. "It's my ex but it's totally fine," I said to Niall, who I knew would ask. 

There was awkward silence before Louis started shouting. "WHO WANTS TO PLAY LIFE OR SCRABBLE OR MONOPOLY OR WHATEVER?" he yelled. Everyone rolled their eyes. 

"Sure, whatever," I shrugged and got up off the couch and over to where Louis was on the floor setting up Monopoly. 

"Count me in!" Zayn rushed over.

Harry, Liam, and Niall reluctantly agreed. 

"Now, don't be sad if you all lose to the wonderful Delilah because I've practiced this game with Daisy tons of times," I stated, lifting my chin. 

Liam snickered. "Right, if you can beat me first!" 

I looked him in the eyes and smield evily. "It's on!"
