*Niall's POV*

"Hurry up, we're gonna be late!" I yelled at the lads as I bounced up and down waiting anxiously at the door.

"Relax Niall we're coming" Liam said as he put on the blazer for his suit. We had changed restaurants yesterday and had to wear suits now. Louis had said I'd thank him but it just made me more nervous somehow.

"Hey is her friend hot?" Harry asked me as he fixed his bowtie

"I don't know I've never met her! Come one mate it looks fine"

"Well she sounded alright" Louis said as he came to join me at the door.

"Can we talk about this in the car?" I asked looking at the clock for the millionth time.

"Relax, we're done, see" Zayn said putting out his arms and walked out the door. We all followed him to the lift

Since we had become so popular we hadn't gone out together to many places. Mostly because of what happened to me and Liam in New York. But after we went to Disneyworld we saw that it wasn't always that crazy. Still, our manager said it wasn't a good idea but the guys helped me convince him to let us. Of course we still had to have security but I didn't think Kitty would mind. She seemed to get along with Paul really well so maybe she'd be okay with it.

"Alright now stop" Louis said and put to hands on my shoulder to keep from bouncing. "You're going to make the lift fall if you keep doing that.

"I can't help it!" I said and the guys laughed. I'd been so nervous since we agreed to see each other again. I didn't think it would be so soon. I wanted to see her but it really made me nervous. She made me nervous. But what made it worse was she got prettier. I didn't think that was possible. She had to be the most beautiful girl in the world…

"Niall!" Liam yelled from outside the lift. "Come on mate or do you not wanna go anymore?"

With that I ran out past the lobby to see the hundreds of girls that were staying out there waiting for us. We signed a few things on our way to the car but my mind wasn't on that. All I could think of was Kitty and what it'd be like to have her act like one of these girls. For her to want to be with me or even talk to me this badly… We finished the signing and went to the car. It was mad out and some girls started following our car but then again they did that a lot. I told our driver how to get to Kitty's. I had been there before to see her but she hadn't been there. Her mom had taken her to America in one of her business trips so I didn't get to see her but I made sure to remember exactly where it was.

"Niall relax she's not gonna get mad at you if we're a little late." Zayn said

"Yeah girls always take a while to get ready and we're not supposed to be there for another few minutes anyway." Harry added. I knew they were right but when it came to Kitty my emotions were always a wreck. I looked out the window trying to calm myself and saw that the weather was clearing up. At least it would be nice out for our date. No not date…

"You okay" asked Zayn and I just sighed and nodded my head

We got to her place a couple of minutes after that and I almost ran to her door. The rest of the lads followed and I knocked. We waited a little while and no answer came. Immediately I lost all composure I had gained in the car and I was left a nervous ball of emotions. I knocked again louder and started bouncing up and down.

"Niall," Liam said putting a hand on my shoulder to calm me down. "It'll be fine just-"

"I'm coming! Stop knocking already!" someone said in very loud voice with an American accent. Not Kitty. It was probably her friend Lexi.

A tall girl opened the door except she wasn't really tall she was just wearing really tall shoes. She reminded me of one of those models the way she stood, impatiently like her time was more important than yours. Her face was friendly enough though and Harry sure seemed to like her.

"Hi are you Lexi?" I asked her

"Course I am! Who else would be here?" she said. She didn't look mad so I didn't think she meant it as an insult but it sure sounded like it

"Be nice!" I heard Kitty yell from inside. I leaned in to look for her but I didn't see anyone else home

"Yeah, yeah" Lexi yelled back. "Oh yeah come on in. Mel's upstairs so sit down and wait"

"Well you're pushy aren't ya" Lou told her and she just laughed

"Just part of what makes me awesome" she told us and flipped her blonde hair as if for emphasize before planting herself on the sofa. Harry of course sat right next to her and started making small talk. They all started talking to each other and I just sat there staring at the stairs. I thought it might be a little rude but all my mind was focused on was Kitty. All of the lads voices mixed in with Lexi's into the background so I didn't hear what they were talking about. I was completely fixated on the steps when I felt something hit me in the face.

"Ow!" I yelled as I held the pillow that had been thrown at me. I looked over to them and all the lads were pointing a finger to Lexi. "What was that for?"

"Don't be a creep. Just wait till she comes down" she said and crossed her legs

"It's rude to throw things at people!" I said and put the pillow behind me

"… So?" she said looking unfazed. I had a feeling this girl lacked the capacity to feel any guilt.

"I told you to be nice" I heard Kitty's voice say and looked up. Kitty stood at the top of the steps looking down at us. She was breathtaking. She was wearing a beautiful green dress that was fitted and showed off her body. As much as I hated to admit it Harry was right, she had grown.

"I was. I used a pillow didn't I" Lexi told her. Kitty laughed as she made her way down which only made her look better. Her hair had a few strands loose in the front but was up in a high ponytail and kept swaying back and forth across her shoulders. She was even wearing heels which made her stand in a way that only highlighted her body even more. I even noticed on her wrist was the old charm bracelet I had gotten her for what seemed like a lifetime ago. Everything about her looked perfect tonight. Just perfect.

"Niall you're drooling mate" Harry whispered to me and I threw the pillow at him

"Niall" said Louis in fake shock

"It's rude to throw things at people!" Lexi said copying what I'd told her earlier. I frowned at her. She stood up and walked over to Kitty ignoring me

"You all look very nice" Kitty told us as she stood not too far away from me. If she was just a little closer…

"And you," Lexi said and pinched Kitty's cheeks, "are gorgeous." Kitty swatted at her hands but laughed. She was so cute

"She sure is right Niall" Harry said as if he'd read my mind and jumped on me. Everyone just laughed and I did too. Although I normally don't find it funny when the boys tease me about Kitty, this time, hearing her laugh too, made me have to join her

"Alright well we better get going before this one changes her mind" Lexi said and started to push Kitty out the door

"Why the hurry?" Zayn asked, which was the first thing he'd said since we'd gotten here. I sometimes forgot he was so shy around new people

"Kitty doesn't like when people spend a lot of money on her" I told them

"Oh is that why you only bought her that cheap phone thing as a present" Lou asked while I glared at him

"I just don't like to burden people." Kitty told them then looked at me, which almost made my heart skip a beat. "And I thought that your present was perfect" she said and pulled out her phone from her bag to show me the panda charm I had given her. I couldn't help but smile like mad

"Alright, we get it, you love each other. Now can we get some food? I'm starving!" Lexi said interrupting any chance we would've had for a romantic moment. Although I didn't think there would be one anyway as the "love each other" part was only one sided. Kitty glared at Lexi and they both made their way to the door. I sighed and followed with the lads just behind me.

"Let me just lock the door" Kitty said as we all waited outside. The lads out of courtesy and me because I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I had always thought that people who looked beautiful like models were boring, to talk to or even look at, but with Kitty, all I could do was stare. She could've easily been on the cover of a magazine and not even need any stylists. She was a natural beauty. "Alright, ready to go?"

"Let's go" I said and took her hand. She looked surprised but didn't pull away. The boys all looked surprised too but just walked to the car like nothing was happening. But something was happening, something massive. I'd made up my mind. I was gonna do what I had been to scare to do since I was a kid. Do what I always thought about while on tour, what I had thought of even while on the X Factor. I was going to make Kitty my girl
