Chapter 4

While we were driving to Niall's flat, Harry was busy talking to Sammy in the back, which just left Niall and I to talk by ourselves. I don't know why but I was so nervous, my heart was pounding through my chest. I didn't usually get nervous around boys as most of my friends back home were boys but with Niall it was a different story.

"So you're Canadian eh?" Niall said trying to do his best Canadian accent. I chuckled

"Yeah how did you know, I never told you!"

"What can I say I'm just amazing at telling the difference between accents."

Niall the just proceeded to ask me about Toronto, how I liked living there, my childhood and then my family. I proceeded to tell him about my parents, my dad had is own consulting firm that he built from the ground up. By no means was I rich but his hard work helped get my sister and I to university and more importantly, here to London. My dad started saving money for my sister and I the day we were born. Over the years with my dad's help and my sister and I working many part time jobs, we had enough money to last us through four years of university and in my sister's case enough to complete her Master's degree. I then told him about my mom who was in charge of one of the plants for the furniture company she worked for for 25 years. Then I finally told him about my sister….

"So you're sister is doing her Master's? That's incredible!"

Just as he said that I got a text on my phone from my sister

Hey Linds! How's London so far, have you gone on the Eye yet? We all miss you so much, I'm back at school, and I want to see you're pretty face today! What time you free? Love you xoxo!

I texted her back saying:

Hey sis, I miss you too! Yes I did go on the Eye and London is absolutely spectacular! You need to get your butt here ASAP! Umm I'm not sure when I'll be free, I'm going out to dinner with Sammy and my new guy friends….I have sooooo much to tell you, ill text you once I get home so we can Skype! Love you lots xoxoxo.

With that I put my phone back in my pocket and that's when I realized I had a tear rolling down my cheek. It haven't even spent a full day in London yet and I already missed her like crazy. I guess Niall had noticed and became concern.

"Linds babe, you okay?"

"Oh yeah sorry I'm fine, that was just my sister, and I already miss her so much, I haven't even been here a full day yet and its so hard. How do you go so long without seeing your family? I'm, surprised you haven't gone insane yet." I chuckled

"It's hard, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of them but all I do is try to stay in contact with them as much as I can and it makes me feel better and when I do get to see them I make it as special as I can and I enjoy every minute of it. I know its tough love but you can make it through." And with that he went and grabbed my hand that was resting on the main consul. When he was holding my hand, sparks flew through my body and my heart pounded through my chest. I'm pretty sure my face got bright red too because I saw him look over at me and chuckled then had a huge smile on his face. I looked over at him into those gorgeous blue eyes and that's when I realized that we had stopped and had arrived at Niall's flat.

"Okay come on love bird's stop staring deep into each other's eyes, I'm hungry and want dinner!" Said Harry.

With that we shook out of our stare, un-did our seatbelts and headed upstairs. Niall took the lead and when we got up to his door, he put the key in the door and unlocked it. His flat was huge. WAY bigger then ours and only one person lives here. Niall gave us a tour of his apartment before he led us to the couches, turned on the TV and headed to the kitchen with Harry. Two minutes later Niall came back with two glasses on wine, one for Sammy and I, then proceeded back into the kitchen. Sammy and I were just sitting there quietly gushing about the situation we were in.

"Omg Linds, this is really happening, please pinch so I can wake up from this AMAZING dream."

I pinched her and when she said oww I said

"Yeah I'm pretty sure you're awake." I chuckled.

We continued to gossip for the next half hour when Niall came in the room and said dinner was ready. Sammy and I proceeded to the kitchen and sat down at the table. The boys had set it up terrifically. They had the pasta and chicken on our plates, with a bit of caesar salad in bowls of to the left. Our wine glasses were topped of wine as we sat down. They had put two little candles in the centre of the table. Niall's table was a square one so Sammy and I sat next to one another, Niall across from me and Harry across from Sammy.

"Well I hope you ladies enjoy Harry and I put our blood, sweat and tears into this meal"

"Niall don't lie all you did was cut the veggies, and talk about Lindsay the whole time, I did most of the work." Harry said with a huge cheeky grin on his face.

Niall gave a dirty look to Harry but then dug into his food. I now had the biggest grin on my face and I know Harry noticed cause when I looked at him, he winked at me and mouthed "Your Welcome" then proceeded to dig into his food. The pasta was delicious; I had never tasted something so amazing before. Who knew Harry Styles could cook. As we ate we joked around, we asked the boys about touring the world and having millions of girls chasing them around every day.

"Boys tell me, what does it feel like to have millions of girls who chase you around and would probably do almost everything just to be with." I said.

"It's weird, and good to haha. I'm still not used to it, I mean just a few years ago it was also impossible for a girl to like me" Said Niall.

"Oh please, you're gorgeous both of you are, I'm sure all the ladies were chasing you boys around." I said with a wink.

We then proceeded to tell the boys how we met on the plane this morning and soon discovered we not only had a lot in common but we were also going to be roommates. Sammy is also from Toronto just like I am and lived in my neighbourhood but went to a different high school and now goes to Carleton University, which is located in Ottawa. We also explained how we were both in London for a year for school. We pretty told the boys our whole life story over dinner.

When we finally finished dinner, we went into the kitchen and helped the boys wash the dishes. Niall was in charge of washing, I did the drying and Harry and Sammy helped put the dishes away. I was just humming while drying a plate when out of nowhere, Niall picks up the hose of the sink and sprays me in the face.

"Ugh omg I'm going to kill you" I laughed. Harry and Sammy were rolling on the floor dying of laughter, so I ran over to the freezer, got the water jug that had cold water and ice in it and chased Niall around the flat. Niall was faster but I was faster. When I finally caught up to him, I pined him down on the floor and proceeded to dump the cold water from head to toe. He screamed and start laughing. I then went back over filled it up again and dumped it all over Sammy and Harry who were still dying of laughter on the floor. They both squealed and next thing you know, we were in a full out water fight, right there in Niall's kitchen. About 5 minutes later, we all laid down on the floor exhausted and laughing. We looked around at all the water on the floor, the kitchen was a complete mess. Niall and Harry then stood up and held out there hands for Sammy and I. We both took them, then Niall led me to his room and Harry led Sammy to the guest room where I saw bags on the bed. I guess Harry was staying at Niall's for the night. Niall then proceeded to open up his closet, pulled out two hoodies and two pairs of sweats.

"Here love, take this. By the way, sorry about that" He chuckled with a huge grin on his face.

There was no way I was mad at him, that was one of the best water fights I have ever had and he was just to damn cute, you could not possibly get mad at a face like that. I gave him a little punch in the arm before I proceeded to the bathroom to get changed. I pulled off my wet clothes and tossed them on the floor. My bra was absolutely soaked but luckily my panties were still dry. I pulled the sweater over my head, which smelled like him. I then proceeded to put the sweats on before I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was an absolute mess and my wake up was running down my face. I washed my face to get the make up off and I then proceeded to put my hair up in a messy bun on the top of my head. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and realized I wasn't going to look any better so I walked out the door. Niall was there on his bed waiting and had already changed. When he saw I came out he looked me up and down and smiled.

"That's a very sexy look you have there, where did you get those clothes?" He chuckled.

"Oh I don't know, this loser with blonde hair and blue eyes gave them to me after he has completely soaked me with water." I laughed

He laughed then came over to me and gave me the biggest bear hug. He smelled so good and I felt so safe in my arms. Today had officially been the best day of my life. He pulled away from the hug still holding me in his arms and looked deep into my eyes. His face started moving closer to mine, he closed his eyes and I did the same. We were just seconds from kissing when we heard Harry and Sammy run into the room and they cleared there throats. Shit, I thought.

"Sammy and I were thinking of watching a movie, how does The Notebook sound?

"Ouu I love that movie! Come Niall, we have to go get the best seat."

I took his hand and ran out of the room past Harry and Sammy and we claimed the biggest couch that was in front of the television. We sat down while Harry put in the movie and pressed play. Niall then wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled my head on his chest. I was pretty sure I had fallen asleep cause the next thing I feel is Niall shaking me little and saying

"Linds wake up love, ill take you home. Harry went and dropped Sammy off half an hour ago."

I got up and looked at my phone. It was almost 1am and I was completely exhausted from the busy day Sammy and I had. I got up, grabbed my wet clothes and was about to go to them back on again when Niall said

"No love, you can keep those, you can give them back to me next time I see you, or just keep them, whatever you want" He smiled.

I smiled a sleepy smile back on him but then it clicked. Wait, did he just sat, next time I see you? That made my smile grow even bigger.

Niall then grabbed my hand, led me out the door and to his car.

"Babe, where do you live?"

I gave him my address and he knew exactly how to get there. We pulled out in front of my building and parked the car. I was about to say goodbye when next thing I knew he was at my door opening it for me. I un-buckled my seat belt, and he held out his hand. I took it and we walked hand in hand up to my door. We stood there for a couple minutes just standing there looking into each other's eyes when I finally said

"Thank you so much for the dinner tonight, I had such an amazing time and that water fight, was well interesting but fun none the least."

"Linds I had an amazing time, and I know I just met you but I like you and I want to get to know you better so I was wondering if I can take you out sometime this week, just you and me." A huge smiled spread across my face.

"I would love to, how does tomorrow night sound?"

"Sounds amazing, pick you up at 5, I know it's early, but I have a plan" He said with a cheeky grin.

"5 sounds amazing"

We quickly exchanged phone numbers since we hadn't done that yet, then Niall leaned in for a hug. As he pulled away he gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight babe, sleep tight, see you tomorrow." He said with a huge grin.

"Goodnight Niall." I smiled back at him before I opened the door to my apartment and walked in.

When I got inside I jumped up and down for 5 seconds, I can't believe I was going on a date with Niall Horan tomorrow night! I quietly made my way upstairs, and peaked my head in Sammy's room and she was there sleeping soundly. I guess Niall and I just missed Harry. I went into my room changed into my PJ's and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. I looked at Niall's clothes just lying on my desk and thought back to tonight. I really enjoyed my time tonight and I was pretty sure I was starting to fall for Niall. It wasn't because he was famous and in One Direction, Niall could make me laugh, he was sweet, gorgeous and most importantly, made me feel like the most important person in the world tonight. I plugged my phone in next to be bed and hopped in. I was about to turn of the night when I received a text from Niall.

I just wanted to tell you how absolutely beautiful you are and how much of an amazing time I had tonight. Can't wait to see you tomorrow, ill text you in the morning. Goodnight love, sleep tight xxxxx

Niallxxxx

That made my smile grow even bigger which I didn't think was possible. Before I went to sleep I sent my sister a quick text saying sorry I didn't text her sooner and we would for sure Skype tomorrow night. I put my phone back on the table and fell asleep think of Niall and the date we would share tomorrow.
