We got back to the flat and the boys said "Meet us down in the lobby in 1 hour and wear something nice."
"Where are we going Mr. Horan?" I responded, trying to flirt without it being too noticeable.
He blushed and replied "It's a surprise Ms. Christiani"
I giggled and went up to our flat with Ily. When we got up to the room I closed the door quickly and tuned around to Ily and poked her grinning like an idiot. "What" she protested, while digging through her unpacked boxes, looking for something formal.
"Soooo Liam" I simply stated as I poked her.
"What about Liam?" she said shyly."Soo how about you and Niall?" she smiled.
"Don't change the subject" I chuckled.
She blushed and continued digging through the unpacked boxes marked 'formal' "What about Liam, we're friends."
"Ugh, well he totally likes you." I say, implementing my plan to get them together. They were totally in love, even of she didn't know it yet.
"Oh I don't know about that." she said blushing.
"Well I do, and I'm always right." I chuckled. It wasn't like she had any experience in the boy department. Boys had liked her before, but she had denied it. Well this time that wasn't working. I was getting her to admit it and getting them together.
"What ever you say. What do you think which one?" she asked, holding up two dresses. I smirked and picked the pink ruffly one.
"Why do you care so much?" I ask still smirking. She blushes and turns to go to her room. She comes back, dressed in the pink dress, wearing heels, and her Pandora bracelet.
I whistled and she gave a little spin. "What do you think?" she asked nervously.
I smiled and, not wanting to freak her out anymore said "You look pretty" in a sing-songy voice. She smiled and practically skipped to the bathroom. I turned and started digging for a dress to wear. I finaly decided I had nothing and turned and dug through Ily's boxes and found a gorgeous white one shouldered dress. I slipped it on quickly. "Ily is it okay if I borrow your dress, OK thanks." I yelled quickly, not waiting for an answer.
She stomped into my room, curling iron still in her hair. We both had an en suite off of our rooms and she had been using mine. "I was, um, actually saving that dress for a special occasion." she said quietly. I jumped up and down and started poking her screaming date with Liam date with Liam. She stood there not reacting to the pokes, shaking her head. "No actually, I was kinda, hoping, Louis." I was so shocked I couldn't speak. She blushed and shrugged and went back to curling her hair. We had fifteen minutes and I had no time to do anything to my hair. I left it in its straightened state. I slipped on shoes and a bracelet and headed down to meet the guys.
We joked around and giggled in the elevator and before we got out, I grabbed Ily by the shoulders, pinched Ily's cheeks to 'add some color' and told her "You look great, Liam will love it." the elevator dinged and as soon as the doors opened, I shoved her out the door, and she tripped right into a waiting Liam. I couldn't have planned it better if I had actually planned it. I had just wanted to see the boys' reactions. He ended up catching her in a bear hug. Not only did the hug last for over ten seconds, he swung her around like a rag doll. Man that boy had muscles! I couldn't stop myself from grinning. They were just so cute.
I walked over to Niall. His mouth was slightly agape. He reached put and took my hand and spun me under his arm. "You look, so," he paused trying to think of the right word "Beautiful" I blushed and he led me out to the limo waiting in the driveway.
As we were getting into the limo, I saw something that would mess up my Ily Liam plan. I caught Louis eying Ily as Liam got into the limo. Harry, being surprisingly unlike himself, slapped Louis on the shoulder and gave him a push towards the limo. When we were all inside, I ended up in between Niall and Zayn. Niall held my hand the entire way to wherever it was we were going. We ended up outside of an upscale movie theater with a red carpet outside. Camera flashes were already going off, and Niall could tell I was nervous. Niall squeezed my hand and said "It'll be okay. You can hold my hand the whole time. You don't even have to talk. You just look beautiful, just like you have very other time I have seen you."
We got out of the limo,greeted by camera flashes hearing reporter yelling the boys' names. We were stopped by Bobert Joe. "Boys boys." Niall stops to talk to bob.
"So Niall who is this lovely young lady you have accompanying you this evening?"
Niall could tell you were feeling nervous but continued on saying,"This lovely lady is Carli"
you blushed and smiled as bob asked Niall about the new album. Then the boys started motioning for us to come inside so Niall headed towards the entrance when I saw her, Demi Lovato. I knew Niall had a crush on her and although I tried not to let it bother me, I still had that small part of me that was jealous of her. As Niall tried to stop to talk to her, I smiled and waved but then pulled him inside to sit with the boys. He looked at me and then chuckled I looked at him curiously and asked
"Why are you laughing?"
He then replied smiling "You are so cute when you jealous."
I blushed and then playfully hit him smiling. Then he poked me in the sides as I jumped I giggled
"OK,OK you've found my weakness I give."
"HMMM,I'll have to remember that." he smiled
We then got to our seats with the rest of the boys and Ily. I sat next to Niall, of course, and Ily who also sat next to Liam. I looked over at them and had to smile at how much Liam really did like Ily, and how in denial she was of it. Suddenly the other two empty seats next to Niall were taken by Demi and her escort,Wilmer Valderrama. If I said I was mad or upset that they were sitting there I would be lying I was actually kinda happy they were there. I felt bad about pulling Niall from her earlier so they could talk now. It also gave me opportunity to try and hook up Liam and Ily. I was talking to them when I felt a tap on my shoulder,it was Niall. He wanted to introduce me to Demi,
"Hi its so nice to meet you"she smiled.
"Hey I'm happy to meet you too can I just say I'm a big fan of your music."I smiled
"I'm flattered"she smiled we then talked for a while and we became pretty good friends. This made me feel really bad for pulling Niall inside. I think part of it was getting me out of the crowd of people and flashes cause they made me really nervous. After the show Niall asked Demi and Wilmer if they were going to the after party. They nodded yes so we all rode in the limo together. I sat across from Niall, Liam and Wilmer I sat next to Demi and Ily the other guys sat with their girlfriends who had surprised them at the awards show. I was talking with Demi when I felt someone grab my hand, I looked over to see Niall with a beaming smile on his face.
"What " I chuckled
"I have to ask you something," he looks at Demi and they trade seats "I was thinking ...maybe...if you want to... ummm...go out on a date with me...only if you want to." he smiled nervously
I had to smile at his nerves and the question as I replied "Of course I would Niall"
"Really?" he smiled "How about Saturday at eight? Wear something casual." his smile radiating
"OK" I replied I'm pretty sure my smile was about as big as his I looked around to see all the guys smiling at us even Demi and Wilmer who I found out were not dating but she wanted someone to come with her to the show. We then kept our seating arrangement until we got to the party. There were more reporters at the party, so I was very nervous. I knew Niall could tell cause he bent down and whispered in my ear
"It'll be OK I promise"
I then whispered "As long as you're here I know that." we were still holding hands.
Demi came and asked me if Liam and Ily were dating and I said not yet. Then I told her my plan and she said she would help cause they were cute together. Niall looked at me curiously and I told him not to question my madness. He chuckled and said he would help cause he knew Liam really liked her. We then got to work I got Ily and asked her again about Liam.
"do you like Liam?" I asked
"well ummm...kinda"she blushed
"KINDA...don't give me that crap you like him more than kinda" I said
"Well...yesIlikehimalotandI'mafraidhedoesn'tlikemeback" She admitted quickly then sighed.
"REALLY! " I shrieked with excitement "Dude can't you tell how much he flirts with you?" I questioned
"You know better than anyone that I don't pick up on that stuff...remember Keegan? " she said
Keegan was a guy from high school that flirted with her like crazy and she didn't even know he liked her. I tried to help her get him but she didn't listen to me as much and she kinda overwhelmed him all at once with the fact that she liked him and all kinds of other stuff. So she started to feel awkward around him, now they are just friends who don't talk much.
I then told her"Liam asked me if you liked him and he wanted to know. I think he is going to ask you out"
"What? Nun-uh!" Ily protested
"Yea-huh" I said
"I don't believe you" she uttered
"Well you should" I said
"Whatever." she huffed
I looked at Niall who was across the room with Liam, Niall was smiling so big I'm pretty sure that if he stopped smiling the room would darken a little. He looked over to me and I winked he winked back and met me over by the punch.
"What did she say?" Niall asked.
"well she likes him a lot and is afraid of rejection" I stated
"REALLY" he exclaimed. He was so excited I thought he was going to jump on me.
"YES" I was probably just as excited as Niall at this point.
We went over to talk to Liam and told him that Ily did like him back and I told him that she was afraid of rejection. Liam started walking towards Ily with a big smile on his face. I looked at Niall we both had a look of accomplishment on our faces.
Niall then asked "May I have this dance?"
"But of course" I giggled. He lead me out on the floor as 'U Smile' by Justin Bieber started playing.
"Perfect timing I LOVE this song." I said with a smile
"Me too." he said. We danced to 'Payphone' by Maroon 5 and "Wild One"by Flo Rida.
"We probably should go find Ily and Liam." Niall said
"Yea that's probably a good idea we should find the others too so we can go back to the flat." I said because it was almost 2:30 am. So we found the guys and their girlfriends but Ily and Liam were nowhere to be found. I finally texted her after 20 minutes of looking and she said they were out in the gazebo. I went and got them and we left for the flat.
" Do you guys want to stay at our flat?" I asked Eleanor, Perrie, and. They all agreed and the guys came to watch a movie and play games.
"How 'bout we watch grease?" Niall suggested
"How 'bout Toy Story?" Liam suggested
"How 'bout Peter Pan?" Ily piped to which I responded with a death glare
"How 'bout Women In Black?" I asked. They all looked at each other and said sure. When we got to the flat the boys went to get snacks while I dug through the movie box for 'Women In Black'. Niall came back first and he came to help me look for the movie then Harry,Louis,Zayn and Liam came in. They all went to the kitchen to cook popcorn and other goodies. When we found the movie we went and got blankets and pillows and put the movie in. Ily was snuggled in the crook of Liam's arm looking really happy. I sat on the floor in front of Niall leaning my head back on his chest. We were watching and I got really freaked out in one part and buried my head into Niall's chest. I heard a small laugh and looked up to see Niall with the cutest smile on his face.
"What is so funny?" I giggled
"You" he smiled "I won't let anything hurt you princess." he whispered.
"I won't let anything happen to you either" I whispered. He smiled really big and kissed my forehead. When the movie was over we played forks (not spoons because Liam doesn't like spoons). At about 6:00am we put in Titanic and everyone fell asleep before it ended. I woke up at about 12:30 and was the first up. I went to the kitchen and started making eggs, toast, bacon, sausage and pancakes. Everything was almost done when I felt two arms around my waist and turned around to meet Niall's eyes.
"Morning, whats for breakfast?" Niall asked
"Bacon, sausage,eggs, toast and pancakes." I smiled sleepily since I hadn't had coffee yet.
"No coffee?" He smiled.
"Haven't started it I was going to do it last. " I giggled
"I'll start it, where is the coffee pot and coffee grounds?" as he was looking around.
"The pot is in the appliance box and the grounds are in the cupboard." I replied.
"Got it. Want me to wake everyone?" He said while looking for the grounds
"Far left bottom self. And not yet I'm... enjoying this time with you." I smirked.
"OK" he smiled and made the coffee. When it was done we both made a cup and sat at the island.
"Wanna go wake everyone now?" I said finishing my coffee.
"Yea I guess we can" he smiled. He grabbed his guitar and I looked at him curiously he told me what I told him last night, 'Don't question my madness.' He played it and sang first softly then really loud and all the guys except Zayn were getting up. I told them there was food and like he had forgotten all bout it Niall grinned and ran to the kitchen followed by everyone except Zayn and Perrie. Perrie finally got Zayn to wake up and they joined us in the kitchen. Harry then complained that there was no more coffee so I told him where the grounds were and he made another pot. Ily and Liam were both groggy and she leaned on his shoulder and he leaned on her head. I smiled at Niall who looked at them then me and opened his arms for a Horan hug.
CARLIN"S POV
Ily then freaking out told me Nana was coming today and assigned everyone to a task. Niall and I were on dish duty next thing I knew I was hit with a glob of bubbles. I suddenly looked over at Niall who had a very cheeky grin on his face.
"Oh it's on" I grinned we finally stopped because we had very little time to finish. We dried off and finished the dishes then I barely got changed into this nana/set?id=55387680 Then the doorbell rang and I raced to the door knowing it was Nana. We both tackled her and she almost fell. "Hi girls how's London life? I guess you've started to gain an accent." she said sweetly
"Really that just made my life I have a British accent" I smiled
Then the boys lined up to greet Nana.
"HI I'M LOUIS TOMLINSON!" he screamed. He started jumping up and down and shaking her hand vigorously.
"Louis be careful" I heard Liam shout. "Hi its so nice to meet you. My name is Liam Payne and Ily has told me so much about you." I smiled as Niall walked up to talk to her, I blushed. He said hello and started towards the couch and he winked at me, then Zayn and Harry followed. I don't know what Harry did but Ily giggled. We then all walked over to the living room I sat on the floor in front of Niall. Then it happen, Nana started to recognize the boys I slumped down and buried my head behind Niall's leg. She finally said,
"Oh my goodness! You were on her walls! No correction you ARE on her walls. And on her iPod. And on YouTube." I felt my face turn beet red. Then I felt Niall laughing to make it worse she said
"Carli, I see you've found, what did you used to call him? Oh yes, Nialler. And I remember Liam your Lili and Louis was Lou... and Harry was Hazza... and Zayn was... oh yes DJ Malik was it?" with a chuckle, Niall looked at me and I smiled sheepishly. She finally brought out €$ the baby pictures. I then got up and went into the kitchen also followed by Niall. I was still blushing from all that happened in the living room.
"SOOO...you liked me way before we met didn't you?" he asked laughing
"Maybe...ok yes I did" I said "don't let it get to your head though"I giggled
"I just felt honored to be on such a pretty girls wall" he smirked
"whatever" I blushed I really didn't think I was pretty it was probably my biggest insecurity. I know its lame but I really hated my whole face since third grade.
