~Stop The World~
Life had been pretty effing fantastic, if you ask me. Another two weeks had passed and another three more to go before tour ends. My friends had been wonderful towards me. Pixie was a bit upset that I didn't tell her first, but she got over it once she saw us kiss (in her words, 'aww, you guys are just so cute! I'm totally not angry already'). Now that she's dating Harry, and I'm with Niall, it seemed even more fun for us somehow. Zayn was still my confidante, even though he had used all the little information I had told him in trust to Niall for that big surprise. He still was the one who gets me the most, and it's good that he's best friends with Niall. And after the big argument Niall and I had, I told him that I understood where he was coming from and we agreed that he would tell me whenever he felt uncomfortable about Zayn and I.
The tour manager decided to give me a small job as the boys' personal assistant since they've already taken care of all my expenses, and I'm so close with the boys already might as well give me something to do. I wasn't actually paid but that's fine with me. It was a cool job, except now I had to tend to the boys' littlest demands, and they usually took advantage of me. But it was all fun. Usually the demands would always ended up in them making fun of Niall and I, because he'll always be the one who'll ask them to stop disturbing me.
Speaking of Niall, that's another good, or might I say great, thing that's happening in my life right now. Niall had been wonderful towards me. And since there's no more hiding and sneaking around, we were able to actually spend some time together outside in public. Although we do get the occasional paparazzis, we both didn't mind it that much because our PDAs are kept to a minimum whenever we're out so the most they could get of us were us holding hands. I'm still getting used to being in the spotlight. I didn't really like it, because I'm used to a low profile status, even back at home. I think Niall noticed that about me, because he'll try to avoid any places that might have a lot of paps, and he didn't forced me to join him in interviews and other things like that.
We did get into little arguments but our banter usually ended up with us writing cheeky notes to each other to apologise. His little sticky notes always lit me up even if it's so simple, so there was no way I could ever stay mad at him for long. Like one time, I was angry with him for acting all diva-ish in front of me, and it annoyed me so much that at the end of the day, I confronted him. The next day, I woke up to a little sticky note on my breakfast set that said:
'I forgot who I was yesterday, but thank god I have you by my side. Eat up, my little munchkin X)'
I immediately smiled and went to find him to give him a hug then. I know what his job requires him to do, and I understand that so I tried my best to compromise everything we do to his advantage. I hate to be the type to be angry at the littlest of things like him flirting with the fans, or cancelling our dates at the last minute. Sometimes it gets hard, but hey we've only been dating for a month, and we're out for two weeks so I figured I'll be able to handle it.
I hadn't been checking any gossip sites or Twitter that much since we went public though. I checked it the day after the revelation, and my mentions were full of fans congratulating us. Some tweeted a picture, and I think we were the trending topics that night. Most of the tweets were just shock reactions with the constant 'wtf' moments, but I get that. It's normal behaviour for girls.
But since I'm almost a stranger to the public, obviously there were a lot of reporters wanting to interview Niall about us. Usually on radio interviews, the DJ would ask the boys about their relationship status. And since we're a new couple, they would usually just zoomed into Niall and grilled him about us. I would usually be there behind the door on most radio interviews, but sometimes I wasn't needed so I'll just listen in to the radio. And everytime he talks about me and us, I would always blush and just simply fall in love with him again. He said something different about us everytime, as if he had a million things to brag about us.
"She's wonderful, a great girl. I'm lucky to have met her..She keeps me grounded.."
"We're happy, I'm happy that's for sure. She makes me smile after a long day.."
"I can go on days about her, we're enjoying each other's company right now"
He sure knows how to make a girl smile. And he proved that again when we were touring in Ireland. We were there for quite a long time so the boys decided to stay over Niall's house for a few days. Obviously I didn't. But I did get to meet his family during the day. We'll all hang out together in the day and he'll tell us more about his life. I got to know how he was as a child and what he'd grown up with. It was fun, and his family was just so sweet. I got to meet his best friends from school too, so that was cool.
One afternoon, we were all bored so Niall decided to do a livechat with the fans. Sure it was impromptu but they did get quite a lot of fans watching. I watched from behind the camera at how they were all talking nonsense in front of the fans. They sure know how to win their fans' hearts. And so obviously, questions were posed to them. They did a few shoutouts and answered some questions like where they were, what their favourite animal is and stuff like that. But a particular question was posed to them about who was in the room at that time, because apparently the boys kept looking over the camera. So Liam answered that apart from the boys, there was me and Pixie and Niall's family.
Then immediately, tweets were asking me to come into the picture.
"Oh look, they're asking if they can see Lila and Pixie.."Zayn read.
I immediately shook my head vigorously and waved my hands to say no way but Pixie had the opposite reaction. She immediately jumped up to the couch and said hi to the camera then left.
"Well, we got Pixie here..but Lila's a bit shy, so maybe next time guys" Zayn continued.
"Oh see, the timeline is flooded with tweets about you Lila, cmon over here babe..say hi to the fans" Niall prompted, patting the empty seat beside him for me to sit.
I was reluctant, but the guys kept asking me to pop into the camera so I went ahead.
"Hi guys.."I said shyly, waving my hands awkwardly to the camera.
"Aww, she is very shy but we're gonna continue reading your questions now..let's see..here's one for Lila: You guys are so cute, tell us how it happened" Harry said monotonously.
Everyone laughed at the question and I looked at Niall expecting him to answer but he mouthed to me, asking me to answer.
'Erm..well..I'm actually a friend of Zayn, so we kinda met like that..and erm..I'm not sure how it happened actually, it kinda just happened? I like him, he likes me I guess.." I answered, looking at Niall as if unsure if I was saying the correct thing.
"I chased after her actually. She didn't want to be with me at first, but I kept on bugging her till she had to say yes. So actually she was forced into this,"he said bluntly.
I laughed, which made him smile before continuing.
"No, no I was kidding..we're happy now, she makes me happy, and I make her happy. Well I hope so, babe I make you happy right?" Niall added, then looked me in the eye smiling.
I smiled back, and nodded shyly. He was so cheerful and moving about in his seat excitedly to show me off, but I was so scared knowing that thousands of people are watching me, even though I can't see them. It was kind of the first time I officially introduce myself to the fans so it was a big deal to me. The boys continued with their banter and Q&A questions while I sat there and watched on. Zayn would occasionally tease me to make me join in the conversation and tried to loosen me up before I decided to leave the web-camming to the professionals aka the boys.
The live chat ended in a few minutes after I left. I went to the kitchen to check my tweets, and found some fans tweeting about me. Surprisingly, all of them had quite a lot of nice things to say about me. They considered my shyness as being cute, and they thanked god that I wasn't one of those attention whores and that they found my friendship with the boys sweet. That just made me laughed out loud. I wasn't even trying to win them over, I was just so scared of being watched by so many people. But it was good that they liked me. Niall came up to me once they were done.
"So, the fans approve of me as your girlfriend it seems," I smiled at him, slipping my phone back to my pocket.
"That's great!" he exclaimed, and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "But you know, you don't need to win them over. I don't care if they approve of you, whether they like it or not, I am still very much in love with you and only you."
"Aww, that's so cheesy!" I laughed and gave him a light punch on the chest playfully and he laughed.
He knew how to make me fall for him even more every day, and I think he enjoyed saying cheesy things to me, which was no problem at all for me. It's nice to hear nice things from him every day.
A/N:
Heyyo! Again I wanna thank you for continuing to read this story of mine, and really thank you for the reviews:)
I think this story will go on for quite some time, I'm not ending it anytime soon so please come back for more.
So now the story's more into Niall and Lila's honeymoon period of the relationship, there will be more obstacles coming up for them to face so that should be quite interesting I guess.
As for whether I'm going to break them up...I don't know!XP Should I? I kinda like Niall..
