I could feel my face go red I was angry, why would Rikki do that sure it was for a prank but that's just taking it too far I thought she was dying. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked angry as I got up
and walked away.
I could feel my blood boiling as I walked down the hall wrapping the towel around my waist and heading for the elevator. Just as the door was about to close a hand reached in and stopped it I knew who it was as soon as they did, the doors opened to reveal none other than Liam "I don't want to talk mate" I said turning away he nodded and we got back to the room and changed in silence.
I went to the fridge and grabbed pizza then sat on the couch near Liam
"what happened back there?" he finally asked after a long silence
"i-i-i I don't know, god she makes me crazy" I said trying to find the right words Liam looked at me confusion written on his face. " I mean I like her I know I do but, she's different from any other girl I have ever known and I'm not used to stuff like that and then finding out about her family and her brother then she pulls something like that. I mean I get it she's trying to forget but I want her to be able to talk to me about it and everything else that could ever hurt her, but I don't think she will be able too." I sighed when I finished Liam processed what I had just said
" well Niall look, she is not going to open up to you right away that kind of stuff will take time, give her time that kind of thing doesn't always come easy to people"
"we don't have time" I stated
"if you really do care about her than make time, find a way to make it work it will be hard but if you think she's worth it then go for it" he said, I nodded, I knew what he said was true but I didn't know how to make it work something like this always takes so much effort and time which I didn't have. Being on the road all the time would make this so much more difficult and complicated than it already is. My thoughts were interrupted
"just talk to her mate, now's your chance" Liam said nodding at the door, I looked up Rikki was standing in the doorway
"can I come in?" she asked Liam motioned her in before he left the room. I heard the shower turn on as Rikki sat down in front of me.
"hey" she said quietly looking down
"hi" I replied
"I am so so sorry Niall I don't know why I did it I guess I thought It'd be funny at the time I didn't think you would take it so badly" she said quickly
"I didn't take it badly" I countered she laughed at my defensiveness "I mean I thought you were dying and I don't like that thought" I said
"oh" was all she managed
"I like you Rikki I do but I don't know if you like me" her eyes grew wide
"what are you talking about of course I like you!" she said a little too loudly I looked at her questioning what she just said and as if she read my mind,
"for the right reasons Niall I don't just like you 'cause your Niall Horan from One Direction I like you as Niall even if you weren't famous I would still like you, you are the sweetest guy I think I have ever met and you captivate me" she was looking directly at me.
I was shocked at what she just stated "the thing is I'm not used to guys not thinking of me as one of them and I don't understand in any way how you like me, I mean you could have any girl in the world, you have them at your finger tips and yet you choose me why?" I looked at her not sure how to answer her question
"because your different than the rest you weren't looking for a date or whatever the others look for the first time I met you, you won a contest for your friend to meet her favorite band then let them have their fun talking to them and held back, instead of taking over and saying you won the contest therefore you have the most rights like all the others do and you are just a great person to be with" I said looking back at her. She smiled
"I hope that you can understand that it will take time for me to open up about some stuff though" she stated looking back down at her hands.
I grabbed her hands and squeezed them looked her dead in the eye "always"
she smiled sweetly she looked genuinely happy I could see it in her beautiful hazel eyes, but as I looked at them they changed to a sweet light brown they looked like they were glowing almost. I narrowed my eyes trying to get a better look.
"Let me guess my eyes changed color?" she asked still smiling
"Yeah! How did you know" I asked a bit shocked she looked away
"they do that, if I have an emotions really strong like I'm super happy or sad and especially jealous they change to different colors. Like when I'm jealous they go green it's really annoying actually" she said I looked at her
"I like it" I said before holding her chin and kissing her softly on the lips.
"HELLO! I see you too have got your issues sorted" shouted a voice from behind jumping over the couch on top of me and Rikki.
I looked down to see none other than Louis his head was on Rikkis lap and the middle of his back on mine.
He shuffled around a bit trying to adjust before falling off the couch face first to the floor "you too are not comfy, hello floor" he said rubbing the floor with his hand.
Just then Harry, Zayn, and Kaylee walked in, Harry looked at Louis "what the hell are you doing" he asked walking over and sitting down beside me using Louis butt as a foot rest "you boys are so stupid" Kaylee rolled her eyes taking a seat next to Rikki "did you too solve your issues" she asked looking at her friend Rikki nodded, Louis lifted his head from the ground "yeah, they did I saw for myself" he stated making kissy faces. I kicked him in the back "ow, it's not like it's not true" he said sitting up.
"My foot rest!" Harry shouted looking disappointed.
Rikki looked at Louis ignoring Harrys remark "No but, you don't need to broadcast it" rolling her eyes at Louis
"your maturity level has just gone through the roof this time hasn't it Lou" Liam stated causing everyone to turn around and look at him.
He was in nothing but a towel, I was used to seeing him like this but I could see Rikki and Kaylee blushing "go put some clothes on mate!" I yelled at him hitting him with a he turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Harrys eyes widened "guys look outside" he yelled running towards the window everyone looked Rikki groaned I was confused "I don't see anything, what exactly am I supposed to be looking at?" I asked they all turned and looked at me like I was completely stupid I ran through my brain thinking "oh, OH! You have got to be joking" I said realising that there was so much snow that it was a white out.
"You are such an idiot" Louis walked over and tried to mess my damp hair.
"Not the hair" I yelled leaning back and falling off the couch in the process.
Rikki P.O.V
Niall was now on the floor legs over his head like he was mid somersault everyone laughed.
He untangled his body "shut it" he said as his cheeks went red, I laughed at his embarrassment. "It's okay Niall I didn't see it at first either" I tried smiling at him.
"oh don't help him out just 'cause you like him" Louis looked at me
"I'm being honest!" a said a little too loud
Kaylee sighed and took a seat beside me "wouldn't surprise me, more often than not she is unobservant and dumb as a door knob" she claimed examining her nails my mouth dropped and I narrowed my eyes "bitch" I said as I hit her in the arm she looked up at me
" oh you know it's true" she smiled
"is not" I screamed tackling her to the floor and pinning her there "admit it's not" I said holding her hands above her head "but it is" she yelled still smiling
"say it's not!" I said holding her arms tighter
"ow, ow okay okay its not, Rikki Jackson you are a remarkable genius, who just so happens to not notice things and pick up on others slowly" she said sticking her tongue out, I got up and off of her
"good enough" i smirked taking my spot on the couch again.
Zayn looked at me "what?" I asked
"I have never seen a girl do that" he said looking like he had seen magic
"is that a bad thing?" I asked a bit confused
"no it's brilliant" he stated still looking me up and down.
Niall got off the floor "get your own" holding me in his arms I rested my head in the crevice of his neck, our finger intertwined making my insides fly.
"Fine" Zayn said smiling at Niall. I stuck my tongue out at him
"I see how it is" he said getting up and walking over to the phone, Niall knew exactly what he was doing
"FOOD!" Niall screamed, jumped up causing me to fall backwards onto the couch.
He ran over to Zayns side "get chicken ,get chicken" Niall said prying at Zayns arm
"of course I'm getting chicken" shaking him off "What do you guys want, should I just order a bunch of stuff?" Harry looked at him
"just get a bunch of stuff, the good stuff" he said before turning his head back to talk with Louis.
Zayn made the order, Kaylee tapped me on the shoulder "can I talk to you for a second?" she asked not waiting for my answer before she started walking away I sighed and followed.
"what is it?" I asked when we were in the other room
"guess what" she squealed turning to face me I stepped back scared to asked she noticed and answered any way
"okay so when you and Niall were up here talking, Louis and Zayn were in the pool and me and Harry got to talking, he told me he likes me Rikki, me of all people he likes me!" she squealed excitement dancing in her eyes I smiled happy for her
"see I told you, you just had to wait" she squeezed my hand
"okay I need to calm down I was waiting to tell you since we walked in my insides are literally jumping" she said.
