I trudged up to the room, got my clothes and changed in the bathroom. I decided to brush my teeth at the same time, so I did. When I got out, the boys were already ready. They entered the bathroom to brush their teeth, leaving Niall and I alone to talk.
"So," I said, finally warmed up to him.
He smiled, "G' night."
He kissed the top of my head, making my blush, and making Louis yelp.
"OOOOH, told ya!"
Niall laughed, I hugged him and I went into the bedroom.
"Night," I said.
I climbed into my bed and drifted off to sleep, this time with great thoughts.
Niall was fighting over me with Harry. He liked me. Wahooooooooo. I did like him, more then most human beings. We had a lot in common. Julia would agree.

The next morning I woke up and all the boys were already gone. I trudged downstairs, still in my pajamas and still very tired.
"G' mornin'," Niall said immediately as I walked in.
All of the boys were wide awake and in fancy clothes. I didn't know why, it wasn't a nice day or anything. Maybe they thought someone was dead, and they had to go to a funeral.
"Good mornin'," I answered sleepily.
I walked into a cabinet, waking me up.
"Ow," I muttered.
"You okay?" Harry asked, concerned.
Anyone who was smart enough would know that, yes, I was okay and no, I didn't need help. Obviously NIALL was smart enough to be quiet about it.
"Yeah," I replied, not bothering to show any opinion or thought.
"Made ya breakfast," Niall said.
"Thanks," I said.
He smiled, and we sat down for breakfast- scrambled eggs, toast, and fruit salad. Nothing much, but you could tell Niall was proud. It was the thought that counted, right?
I sat down, and immediately Harry and Niall sat in last night's seats, not wanting to do that stupid fighting they did last night.
"Thanks Niall," I said directedly, not even glancing at Harry.
Niall smiled, "Your welcome, Alex."
I smiled back, knowing he liked me if he made me breakfast.
I started eating, scrambled eggs first. I shoved them down my throat, and continued to the toast. I gobbled it down just as fast. I didn't notice I was hungry until all the food on my plate was gone, and I was still hungry.
Niall looked at me, not at all surprised. From last night he knew my obsession with food. He could relate.
However, Harry gaped at me like a girl didn't eat like that. I just shrugged.
"So, what we gonna do today?"
Sunday, right... Sunday. The hang-around-and-do-what-you-want day. I hated that type of a day. I like doing things.
"Well, if you want we can go to the mall...." Liam said.
I wasn't sure I did, but I smiled.
"That's a good idea."
Niall smiled, "Yeah, I like the mall."

In the next hour, I got ready. We jumped in the car, with Louis driving.
I had my purse in my hand, and I was trying to count the strange euros. Niall was helping me of course, but it wasn't working well.
"I'll just help you pay when we get there," he said.
Good... he'd be walking into the girls stores with me. That was completely right.
_________________________
We got there, and immediately Liam told us to split up.
"Okay, we gotta split up. The fans won't be on us too much."
A fair thought. I smiled in responce, trying to get him to go on.
"So, Niall and Alex- of course," he smiled at us. "Me and Louis. Harry and Zayn. And, SPLIT!"
We all rushed our seperate ways, of course. Niall dragged me to the food court.
"NANDOS!" he said.
Of course. He entered the joint, which was seperate from the food court.
"Come on, I'll buy you something, as long as you come in," he pleaded.
I smiled, "Of course."
We entered, and Niall ordered. Soon we got our food. Some teenage girls in the next booth squealed and pointed at Niall like he was Josh Hutcherson. I looked over and they both had "I LOVE NIALL.... AND FOOD" t-shirts on. I sighed, knowing we'd be mobbed in about one minute. They came over.
"Can we have your autograph?" they squealed like pigs to Niall.
He shrugged at me appologetically.
"Um.... sure, but first I need to eat. Could you come over in, say, a minute or so? I mean, I don't wanna be rude to Alex, here," Niall said.
The girls frowned at me, but nodded, "Sure, we'll be back in a minute."
Niall smiled politely. He continued eating, and the girls silently filmed him and me, glaring at me the whole time.
"Fooood," he whispered to himself.
I decided to eat, so I did. Like a pig, in fact. I ate until everything was gone.
Then the girls came over, still filming.
"Hi Niall, could we have your autograph?" they asked again.
Niall smiled through the camera.
"Sure, what should I sign?"
"My back," one girl pointed to her shirt, and turned.
There was a picture of Niall on it. Niall politely took the sharpie from them and signed.
"And my bracelet," the other girl held out a white bracelet.
He signed once again.
I wasn't sure I could take the camera or the girls themselves. They acted like I was "stealing" Niall from them as they walked off.

"Come along," Niall said, leading me back to the mall after paying.
The girls had video taped right until the moment we left the store, where I saw as they looked on, disappointed.
He smiled and beckoned me to this secret store. I didn't know a thing about where we were going, it was annoying me.
"Close your eyes," he demanded.
I did, and he pushed me along. Soon he told me to open my eyes.
"Awww," I cooed.
He had taken me to a pet store to look around. The first thing I spotted- hampsters.
"They are so cute!" I said.
He smiled shyly.
Shy AND cute. Bonus.
