Only Love (Completed)

Chapter 7

Kayley's POV

The engine growled at me when I turned the key. I was practically bouncing in my seat. I thought I could still smell Niall. I smelled my shirt. It smelled like him! It really wasn't a surprise since we were standing there hugging for what seemed like forever. I am never washing this shirt! He smelled SO good.

I realized I was still in the parking lot. I turned on the radio and As Long As You Love Me was playing. That's my favorite song by Justin Bieber. Big Sean's part is my favorite part because, for rap, it's SO sweet! "Ask me what's my best side, I stand back and point at you." Aww! I started singing and driving back home. Once I got home, I opened the door to find Kate and Alice sitting on the couch watching Toy Story 3. Directioners forever!

I set my keys on the table and walked to the couch with my phone in hand. As I was about to sit on the couch next to Kate, she put her legs up so I couldn't sit there. Alice caught on and did the same.  I sat on the floor in front of the couch, criss-cross-applesauce. Then, Kate had the nerve to put her feet on my head. I grabbed her foot and started tickling it. She giggled and that taught her to not put her feet on my head. As if she didn't already know that was rude.

Alice said, "Shhhhh!" And kept watching the movie. Wow.

When the movie was done, I got the DVD out of the player and popped it into the case. They were sitting there waiting. For...

"So how did the park visit go?" Kate asked.

"Well, I guess it went okay."

Alice's asked, "What'd you guys talk about?"

"I told him why I had puffy eyes and a bruise on my face and he hugged me."

"Holy crap!" Kate said.

"Just wait," I responded. "It gets better." Her eyes got wide and she nodded expectantly. "During the awesome Horan Hug, he got a text from Liam. So he apologized, called Liam, and yelled at him for 'ruining a beautiful moment.'" I used air quotes with my fingers.

"Wh-" Kaye started, but I cut her off.

"Please save your comments, questions, and concerns until the end. Thank you," I said very sarcastically professional. They giggled for a second before I began talking again. "Then he apologized again and smiled at his feet, while blushing, I might add. I sang, 'but when you smile at the ground...' you know the rest, and he said I was a really good singer and asked me to sing something for him."

"Oh my gosh..." Alice muttered.

"So I sang Breakeven by the Script. He was impressed, like mouth hanging open and shit. He pulled out his phone and said that he could probably get 'Uncle Simon'-" air quotes again, "-to get me a record deal." They gasped in unison.

"He... called... Simon... Cowell?!" Kate gasped. Alice just sat there looking shocked.

I laughed at Alice's expression. "No, I took his phone before he could."

"WHY?!" they both screamed.

"Well, I said, 'Two words: Stage. Fright.' He said, 'Two words: Recording. Studio.'"

"Smart aleck," Alice muttered.

"Exactly," I told her.

Now the fun starts. "So he got another text, but this time it was Zayn saying that his presence was needed because Louis threw a spoon at Liam. Then he said he didn't wanna leave, that he loved spending time with me. I told him he should go help Zayn, and he agreed. So he hugged me and, my god, that boy smells good. Cologne and a bit of peppermint. He put his chin on my head as I put my ear on his chest. His heart was going, like, out of control, like mine was. Sorry for all the details," I apologized, stopping myself.
