The Girl Next Door (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Truth is, I Like You.

A/N: This is my second time writing this chapter because it somehow got erased -.- how many times can your story be erased and you have to re-do it again until you're allowed to smash your computer? This is the FIFTH time -.-

On a brighter note, The winner of the dedication for guessing the movie that Niall and Nikki were watching is- drum role please- @Lis0508!!!!! Four for you Lisy, you go Lisy Lisa! And I..... didn't.... stalk... your.... profile to figure out your name.... psh! where do you get these crazy ideas? Psh....

I'm supposed to mention @kevinlikescarrots and she gets credit too :)

Other than that, that's pretty much it :) ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Louis' POV:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why did we do it?" I moan to Liam while flopping down on my bed.

"I don't know." Liam answers while running his fingers through his hair.

I groan and Liam throws his head back in frustration. "We just HAD to crash their date." I mumble angrily to myself.

"What do we do?" Liam asks exasperatedly.

"We can always apologize." I shrug while biting the end off of a carrot.

"Tried that." Liam grumbles.

"Not to Nikki you haven't." I respond while sitting up.

"She didn't seem all that mad though." Liam shrugs.

"She still deserves to know that we regret spying on her and Niall."

"I guess so." Liam mumbles, "C'mon, let's go talk to her."

We both exit my room and head down to the den where we heard her yelling earlier.

When we enter the room, we both see Niall and Nikki sprawled out in awkward positions on the couch fast asleep. Niall's head is hanging off of the back of the couch while his left leg is up in a marching position and the other leg over the back of the couch. Nikki's hair is spread out on the cushion that her head is resting on, and she's sitting upside down on the couch. Niall's mouth is parted slightly in his sleep while Nikki's nose is crinkled up adorably. Liam and I stare at the two sleeping figures before Liam finally speaks up.

"Should we wake her?"

"No. She looks so peaceful." I chuckle.

"Why does Niall get her?" Liam mumbles.

"Because he understands her best." I say, "I mean he's the one who sounds amazing singing with her, he's the one who found her after she ran away at the carnival, he's the one who she wanted to stay with her after he found her, he's the one who she spends most of her time with, he's the one that needs her most."

Liam sighs beside me and Nikki stirs from her sleep. Her eyes flutter open and she smiles as soon as she notices us.

"Good morning, love." I whisper to her, careful not to wake up Niall.

"What time is it?" She asks while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Well it's not exactly morning.... it's more like eleven at night." Liam shrugs.

Nikki chuckles softly while sitting up to face us. "What's up?" She asks curiously.

"Can we talk to you in the kitchen?" I ask.
