Niall's P.O.V -

"Why are you being shy around me? You never are." I wipe her face with a tissue and try to kiss her cheek, but instead her forehead.

"Are you willing to try kissing me?" She shrugs as a response and I smile whenever she grabs my hand, beginning to mess with my fingers, then shrugs again.

"Are you still mad at me?" I put my face down until my nose brushes hers, doing that stupid Igloo kiss that she likes to do.

Cleo nods, then shrugs.

"But I did that little Igloo thing." I move my hand to tickle her stomach for a few seconds just to hear her giggle.

"It's called an Eskimo kiss, not igloo. Eskimos live in igloos." She grabs my hand and moves it away from her stomach.

"Oh..well, I still gave you an Eskimo kiss, so I'm sorry, so will you forgive me?" I wait for a response, but she shrugs, trying not to smile still keeping her head down.

Cleo inches down in the bed, facing away from me, so I peck my lips to her cheek. I apologize once more, then turn the lamp off.

Two days later, all four of us go out for breakfast the next morning and discuss a trip that we wanted to go on. It's just us going to Colorado to go skiing for the first time. Well, I've been skiing before and so has Piper.

"I never knew about this, but it sounds like fun, but don't you thing that the weather is too cold th-"

"Buy more winter clothes because we're going." Harry and Piper laugh while Cleo laughs nervously.

"We aren't leaving 'til probably five in the morning, that's the only flight I can seem to get." Piper says looking at her iPad.

I don't understand why Cleo got only eggs for breakfast whenever they make her stomach hurt.

After paying for the tab, we get on the road to go to the outlet mall. It's a mall, but the outside mall and has way more stores to choose from.

"What about gloves?" I hold up a pair for Cleo and she raises her hands.

"I have mittens already." She takes a seat while I shop for items that we'll need. Cleo needs more shit than I do.

"Do you need these things? Just in case you get your monthly thing?" The body product store is filled with hygiene items and it's making me feel weird.

"You mean, my period?" She smiles sitting down on the little chair, bundled up in her clothes to the point where she is stiff.

"Do you want them or not?" I ask, looking at the different colored thick socks to keep us from frostbite.

At the house Cleo packs a bunch of junk even though we're sharing a suitcase.

"No, then my stuff can't fit." I tell her, taking out two stuffed animals.

"But those are for the flight. I want to at least bring one." She walks back over to me to pick her stuffed frog and puts it on top of her purse.

I organize the luggage for us since she's throwing everything and anything in it. I made sure Cleo has boots and those furry socks, so that her feet won't freeze. It surprised me last winter season, how easily she got cold, so I try to help if I can.

"Niall, I don't feel good." Cleo says once I come out of the shower.

"Go poop." I shrug while she lays on her stomach.
