Hey guys! well, yay! it's my birthday today! woo :) so, i'm giving you all a present! - i know, strange :)

but here it is! a present to all of you!

an extra long chappie of grow up! ENJOY! xxx

“Aww look at the two of them.”
“Should we wake them?”
“Yeah, just let me take a photo first.”
“Harry thats so mean!”
“Yes Nialler, yes it is.”
“They look so cute.”
I hear the click of an iPhone camera, so I decide to open my eyes.
“Uggh.” I mumble, I look up and see four curious faces looking down at me.
Oh yeah, I’m staying in a hotel suite with One Direction.
I give them a small smile and then gasp as I try to get out of the bed.
I’m trapped.
“A little help here?” I mumble, lifting the sheets up so the boys can see Louis’ arms locked around my stomach.
“Aww.” Says Harry.
“Please?” I ask, giving them puppy dog eyes.
They seem to work and the four boys crouch down next to Louis. What happens next is hilarious, they begin to tickle Louis everywhere, Niall tickles the back of his neck, Liam does his back, Zayn manages to lift up the sheets at the end of the bed and tickle his feet whilst Harry tickles his underarms.
Almost immediately Louis jumps awake and begins to wiggle away from the boys tickling him, which results in him pushing me out of the bed.
“Ow.” I mumble, rubbing my head.
“Oops! Sorry!” says Louis, looking down at me.
“All good.” I reply, standing up slowly, whilst the boys pause to look me up and down.
I look down self consciously, “Uhm, can I have a shower?” I ask and Liam nods and points to one of the doors on the side of the room.
“Thanks.” I say quietly, and rush into the room, locking the door behind me.
I was never prepared for this bathroom, it’s massive, and messy.
How could boys make this much mess? They don’t even own makeup!
I turn the shower on and take off the baseball tee as I wait for the water to warm up, then I turn to look at myself in the mirror whilst I’m still in my underwear.
It’s really strange just staring at myself, my body hasn’t changed dramatically, because I was almost at my full height at fifteen, I am a few inches taller, which is awesome, the rest of my body has changed a little, but it isn’t as much of a shock as I would have thought.
I make a mental note to buy some new clothes, because my skinny jeans would probably look like chinos on me now that I’m a little taller, same with my top.
I check the shower warmth with my hand and quickly get out of my underwear and hop in.
The shower is amazing, I loosen up all my muscles as I stand under the pounding water, it feels like a fabulous massage, I could just live in here.
But then my skin would go all wrinkly from the water, so that wouldn’t be cool.
I inspect the array of hair products in the shower and try to choose which shampoo to use.
There are loads of different ones, for different kinds of hair, each with different scents and stuff. I’m guessing the colour lasting one for dyed hair must be Niall’s but I can’t begin to guess who owns the other ones, I mean it’s not like I know if their hair is oily or dry, but I’m pretty sure the one for curly hair is Harrys.
I pick a random shampoo that smells of tropical fruits and begin to lather it into my blonde hair, then once I’m done I grab the matching conditioner and put that in.
I decide to leave the conditioner in my hair for a few minutes and scrub myself with one of the body washes in this shower, thank goodness it was massive, otherwise all these products wouldn't fit in it.
The body wash is coconut scented and it smells amazing, I wonder which guy uses this. Then I wash the conditioner out of my hair and turn the shower off.
As I step out I can hear all the boys talking in Louis’ room, but I don’t want to be rude by listening in, so I grab a fluffy white towel off a warming rack and wrap it around my body, tucking in the corner and securing it so I’m certain it won’t slip off.
Then I walk over to the huge mirror and try to figure out what to do with my hair. Well they have their fair share of hair products here but sadly no hair ties, so I’m just going to have to leave it out.
I head back over to the door and pause for a few seconds before opening it and poking my head round. The boys all look up and their eyes all widen before they smile at me.
“Hey, uhm, could you guys please pass me my clothes from last night?” I ask, giving them a small smile.
“Uhm, where did I put them.” Mutters Louis, looking down at the messy floor, all the boys were still in their pyjamas, I mean pajama bottoms and no tops, and I looked down at the ground while I waited, not wanting to be rude or awkward.
“Where did you put her stuff?” Liam asks Louis.
“Uhm, I think it’s lost in this mess on the floor, wait I’ve got something.” He replies and grabs some stuff out of his suitcase before handing me a pile of fabric.
“Thanks, you really didn’t have to.” I say, taking the clothes.
“I sorta did, unless you wanted to walk around in a towel all day.” He chuckles.
“I wouldn’t mind.” Harry pipes up, and I burst out laughing whilst all the boys turn to glare at him.
“Oh Harry, what are we going to do with you?” groans Liam, and I crack up again, which makes everyone else laugh.
“Your laugh is like Niall’s, it’s contagious!” points out Zayn.
“Wow, I’m honored to be compared to him!” I gasp and Niall grins.
“Well I’m going to get changed now, I’ll be out in a few.” I say, and close the bathroom door again.
I turn around and inspect the bundle of clothes Louis lent to me, theres a pair of slouch pants and a white tee with small black stripes on it, cute.
I decide to alter the slouch pants first, luckily you had to tie them up with a cord at the top, so it was easy to make them fit, but they were way too long, so I bent down and rolled up the bottoms so I could walk in them without tripping up.
Now for the top, I pull it over my head and turn to inspect myself in the mirror, ahh, not too bad, I look way too small for the clothes, but they will have to do, and in a way I can’t explain, they smell like Louis.
I step out of the bathroom and earn nods of approval from the boys at my outfit.
“You look nice.” Harry notes.
“Ahah, very funny, I look like I shrunk in the wash instead of the clothes!” I reply and they all laugh.
“Shoot! The plane I’m getting on leaves in forty minutes! I have to get to the airport!” I gasp, looking at the clock on the bedside table.
They all turn to look at me with smirks on their faces.
“What?” I ask.
“We rebooked your plane, it doesn’t leave until this afternoon.” Says Liam, still smirking, like he was hiding something from me.
“Oh, thanks! But I’ve still got to get down there to get my bag off my friend Steph.” I say.
“Hows that going to work? Lou told us about your little predicament as strange as it is.” says Zayn.
“No idea, but I want my bag, so it’s going to have to happen!” I reply.
“Ok then, I’ll come with you.” Says Liam, being the responsible one that directioners know and love.
“Thanks! Well lets get going then!” I say, and the two of us head down to the bottom floor of the Langham.

“Thanks!” Liam and I say to the driver as we hop out in front of the Auckland airport.
We didn’t look suspicious at all, I was well, not looking at all like I had yesterday, and Liam was wearing a beanie and sunnies like the other people in the airport, so we just looked like a normal couple, except we weren't a couple.
I check my phone as Liam orders two coffees in a cafe whilst we wait for Steph.

From: Steph
Hey there! Phew you had me worried sick gurl! YOU ARE A BAD WEE THING! :O How could you?! Well anyway, I’m at the airport now, where are you?
xx Stephasaurus.

Hmm, how am I going to reply to this.

To: Steph
Aww, glad to know you care! Thanks for the best night ever last night.
I’m in the first cafe as you come through the entrance :D
xx Aria.

Might as well try to explain in public, maybe she won’t freak out as much if people are everywhere.
Oh, I forgot about Liam, well hopefully she won’t notice him.
I spot her brown hair flying out as she rushes over to the cafe with my bag, then she stops and looks around.
I see her glance down at her phone, and instantly feel hurt that she doesn’t recognize me. Oh who am I kidding, I look nothing like I did last night!
I decide to make the first move and walk over to her.
“Uh, hey.” I say, looking down at her, wow, she was shorter than me now, weird.
“Hey, who are you?” she asks.
“It’s me, Aria.” I reply, and she looks up at me.
“No, you aren’t, my friend is the same height as me, and she doesn’t look like you really...” she says trailing off at the end.
She’s looking down at my shoes, or should I say, her shoes, the converse she lent me last night for the concert.
“Wait, lift up your foot.” She says and I do, knowing she’ll spot her initials on the bottom of them in tiny writing.
“No freaking way...” She mutters, looking up at me, seeing the resemblance to her fifteen year old friend in my face.
“Hi.” I squeak.
“Are you sure your Aria...?” she asks.
“Yeah, I’m still the same girl that used to muck around in the lunch room with you at school.” I reply and she gasps, then engulfs me in a huge hug.
“How did you get like-like, this?” she says, motioning towards my body.
“You know that whole birthday wish yesterday?” I ask.
“Yeah.” She replies.
“Well I wished to be older, but I never really thought it would happen...” I reply and her mouth hangs open.
“WOW, that is crazy gurl, so how are your family that you stayed with handling it?” she asks, and I sigh in relief to have my friend back.
“Uh...Um.” Just then Liam chooses to walk over to me and hand me my coffee, and straight away my friend see’s right through his disguise.
“No way.” She gasps, about to faint.
Well I would too if my best friend suddenly turned twenty and was drinking coffee with Liam Payne.
“Hello, are you a friend of Aria’s?” he asks in his amazing accent and Steph nods.
“Steph this is Liam, Liam meet Steph.” I say and they both share a quick hug.
“So you were the girl that was on the late night news yesterday...” She says.
“Pardon?” I ask her.
“Well there was a photo of the boys carrying a girl into the Langham with them at around midnight last night, wow, I never thought it was you.” She says.
“I guess it was me.” I mumble, taking a sip from my coffee, it tastes delicious, which is strange because I’ve never really liked coffee before, hmm twenty year old things.
Then Steph cracks up.
“Whats so funny Steph?” I ask her, raising my eyebrows.
“Thats means you are twenty and never been kissed!” she laughs and my cheeks flush.
“Unless...” her jaw drops, “Oh, you have kissed someone! Who?” she gasps.
I really don’t want to have this conversation with Liam here.
“Liam’s here Steph! I can’t tell you!” I say to her and Liam chuckles.
“We already know, he accidentally let it slip when you were in the shower.” He says, and now it’s my turn to gasp.
“He what?!” I reply.
“Wow, your first kiss was with a One Direction member?! Who was it?” she prods.
“I’m not saying!” I reply and pretend to lock up my lips and throw away the key.
Just them I turn to see Liam mouthing Louis’ name to Steph and her eyes go wide.
“Way to go gurl! Was it tongue and stuff?” she asks.
“Steph, really, no it wasn’t, now can we stop talking about this.” I say, exasperated.
“Ok! But are you going back to Dunedin now?” she asks.
“Yeah, this afternoon, the boys rebooked my ticket, but I still had to come to get my bag from you and explain this whole mess to you.” I say to her.
“Aww, ok then, I’ll miss you!” just then I see Steph’s mum running over to us.
“I’ve got to go home now, but just so it doesn’t look suspicious, can I get Liam’s autograph so I look like I’m doing that instead of talking to you?” Steph asks, and Liam nods.
“Oh Steph, I thought I told you not to talk to strangers!” says Steph’s mum coming over to us.
“I’m not mum! This is Liam Payne, from One Direction, I’m just getting his autograph.” Steph answers, smiling at her mum.
“Oh thats sweet, hi Liam, nice to meet you, my daughter really enjoyed the concert last night.” Her mum says and Steph blushes whilst I snicker, which makes her shoot me a glare.
“We can’t all be twenty!” she whispers in my ear and I smile at her.
“And who are you?” Steph’s mum asks me.
“Uh, uh...” I mumble, searching for what I could be.
“Oh this is my bandmates girlfriend, I’m taking her out for coffee this morning after picking her up from her flight that just arrived here, you see I’m not telling her boyfriend she’s here yet, it’s a secret.” Says Liam.
Nicely played Liam.
“Oh cool, who's girlfriend are you?” Steph asks me, smirking.
Not nicely played Steph.
“Uh, I’m no-”
“She’s Louis’ girlfriend.” Liam interrupts, cutting me off and I just smile.
“Well nice to meet you two, I’m sorry if Steph interrupted you.” Steph’s mum says.
“Not at all, she was very sweet, hope you both have a great day.” Replies Liam.
“Bye!” Steph waves, as her and her mum head off.
I turn to Liam.
“Well that was, something.” I mutter.
“Yeah, your friend seems nice.” He replies.
“If nice means trying to get your best friend to lie that she is Louis Tomlinson’s girlfriend.” I mutter.
Liam just smiles knowingly and the two of us head out of the airport with my bag, hopping back into our ride.
Time to head back to the Langham.

hope you all liked it!
