We pulled up to the bowling alley. My nerves suddenly kick in, hoping that the boys will come to accept me. Niall notices the tension on my face.

“Hey, don’t let what I said make you nervous.” He said trying to get me to look at him.

“I know they’ll like you!” He said smiling. He leaned in to give me a kiss but Alice thought she could ruin the cute words Niall had said to me.

“AHEM! Get a room!” She yelled, purposely trying to get Niall and me to separate. I glared at her. She smiled and smacked my shoulder.

“Let’s get on with it!” She said eagerly getting out of the car.

Niall looked at me and gave a half smile while he got out of the car. I opened my door, which Niall caught, and opened it the rest of the way. I smiled; he always opened the door for me. It was always a cute gesture.

He grabbed my hand, entwining our fingers together. I blushed and gave a weak smile, still nervous of the boys not excepting me. He leaned down and left a soft kiss on my face, trying to cheer me up.

“Come on love. I got a game to beat you at!” He said while tugging me towards the entrance.

I allowed him to tug me where he wanted me to go; I liked how excited he was to play a game of bowling. He reminded me of a little kid. That’s one of the many things I loved about Niall, he had his beautiful moments and his kid moments. I loved both of them.

I laughed slightly at his excitement, only to encourage his excitement more, as he tugged me faster. I tried to catch up with him so he wouldn’t be dragging me with him but he seemed focused on us playing a game together.

Niall was forced to slow down once we reached the door, giving me the opportunity to catch my breath before meeting the boys. Niall opened the door for Alice and I. When it was my turn to walk past him, he grabbed my hand and whispered, “Don’t be nervous love. I’m right here.” He smiled and left soft kiss on my cheeks.

He entwined our fingers while he let the door close slowly behind him. Niall went in front of me to direct me where I needed to go. He slowly came to a stop when we saw four boys huddled around each other.

“There they are.” Niall said while squeezing my hand a little tighter. I know I had a reason to be nervous about meeting them. I mean, they are One Direction for crying out loud! Who wouldn’t be nervous to meet them? But why was Niall so nervous? I know he told me that he really wanted them to like me but wasn’t he over reacting just a little bit?

Maybe he has never brought a girl to meet them. What if you’re the first girl and he doesn’t know what to do?

I shook those words out of my head. What was I thinking? This is Niall Horan we’re talking about! Surely he has brought girls to meet the rest of the band before. Right?

Niall, Alice, and I walked slowly up to Louis, Liam, Zayn, and Harry. I looked at Alice, she seemed like she was going to blow up if she got any closer. I smiled at the memories her and I shared fan girling over One Direction. Except my dream was becoming real and that was the closest she was going to get to her dream becoming real.

“Hey Lads!” Niall greeted happily. The four boys turned around and a huge smile took over their faces.

“Hey Niall!” Harry said, responding back to Niall.

All of a sudden, all their eyes were on me. Like I was some famous person and they were all my fans. I blushed and started to slowly hide behind Niall.

“Is this her?” Zayn asked, trying to peek around Niall’s body.

“Yes!” Niall said happily while trying to get me to step out from behind him.

The four boy’s smiled turned to something bigger. The next thing I knew they were all charging at me. I was shocked when I was engulfed in a huge hug.

The hug felt like a body lock down. I couldn’t move at all. I was entrapped in this dream hug of mine.

“Alright lads, the girl needs to breathe!” Niall said while trying to pry the four boys off me.

One by one, the boys introduced themselves. They really didn’t need to. But I let them continue on. When we all shook hands, I realized that Alice was just standing there. Out of nowhere, she ran to Louis and jumped on him, letting her legs wrap around his waist. The jump took him by surprise and they both went tumbling backwards.

“I love you Louis! I’m such a big fan! I love you!” Alice said while still lying on top of Louis.

Louis smiled and responded. “Love you too love but could you please get off me?”

Alice let go of him and hoisted herself up. I introduced Alice to everyone.

After every time I introduced her to one of the boys, she would say that she loved them and was a huge fan.

Silence fell upon us, but only for a brief second.

“Let’s get this show on the road shall we?” Harry said while rubbing his hands together in an evil way.

“Alice and I are on a team.” I said while looking at each of the boys individually.

They all looked at me in confusion and started to protest.

“But then it would be five on two!” Zayn said.

“Don’t worry, Alice and I could whip your butts if there were ten of you!” I said pretty cocky.

They all raised their eyebrows at us like they thought we were crazy.

“Are you sure?” Niall asked

“Yep, I’m sure.” I replied before slightly giving him a kiss on the cheek.

He smiled and said, “Alright! Boys against girls! Let’s go set this up!”

Everybody but Alice, Harry, and I went up there to type out names and get a ball.
Harry looked at me and smiled.

“You know, you’re the first girl Niall has ever brought for us to meet. I guess that means he really likes you.”He said and I noticed he seemed rather happy.

“I am?” I asked in disbelief.

Harry’s smile was all I needed to answer my question.

Zayn joined our conversation.

“He talks about you all the time! Since our last concert I believe. I know it has only been about three days but he really likes you. I can tell.” He said adding to my blushing problem already.

I guess it’s true. Niall has developed feelings for me in three days. I know, it sounds really sudden but it happens more than often.

When Niall returned with the Louis and Liam, Harry and Zayn smiled and walked up to the ball rack and chose a ball.

I felt pretty bad ass when I grabbed a ball that weighed almost twice as much as their bowling balls did.

They all looked at me in shock. Alice more than willingly commented.

“I told you! We bowl every Sunday!” She said, answering their confused faces.

I was first to bowl. I walked up to the lane, keeping a distance so I could still have room to maneuver. I brought the ball up to my eyes and let out a deep breath. I took a step forward and swung the ball back behind me. I took another step forward and brought the ball in front of me and released the ball.

I watched as the ball rolled down the lane, hoping that I would get all ten pins down.

“Yes!” I yelled while slightly jumping off the ground. A strike.

“Already off to a good start!” Alice said while the boys groaned. I walked by the boys and said, “Beat that!” I winked at them before giving Alice a victory high-five.

Niall was first to bowl for his team. He got up to the lane and repeated them same stance I just did but only knocked down three pins. I couldn’t help myself but to laugh. Niall glared at me and I forced myself to stop. I watched him go for his second turn and he knocked down the rest of the pins. The boys cheered for him and he walked by Alice and I and winked but he shook his hips forcefully while walking away. Alice and I both noticed and laughed until we felt like puking.

The game was really competitive. The boys cheered for each other when they got spares and strikes. Alice and I only gave each other high fives and we both occasionally rubbed our victory in their faces. I must admit, the boys put up a pretty good fight and there was even times where I thought we were going to lose but we won by a land slide.

“Alright! Enough with the gloating!” The boys yelled at us while we were doing our victory dance.

“Where are we going?” Asked Liam.

“What?” I asked.

“We owe you guys something for winning the game!” Explained Louis.

Alice and I both looked at each other and responded simultaneously.

“ICE CREAM!” We smiled as we looked at the boy’s reaction. They smiled in agreement.

***

“One chocolate please!” I told the lady working the counter. She left the counter and came back only seconds later, handing me pleasure in a cone.

Niall asked for the same thing. Once everybody got their cone, we all walked around. Niall’s and my fingers entwined. As doing so we heard a few ‘awes’ from the boys and even Alice. I blushed and continued to walk with Niall.

We were all joking around and playing tag with each other when we finished eating our ice cream. Harry found a football and he threw it to Niall, which took him by surprise but in return threw it to me. I surprised myself when I caught the ball but only to realize that Niall was charging me. I took off in the other direction while Harry called out for me to throw the ball to him. I tried to but before the ball left my fingers, Niall had grabbed me by the legs and gently threw me on the ground. I laughed slightly and threw the ball to Harry while I was still lying on the ground. Niall chuckled and slowly leaned down and kissed me. At this point I was glad I let go of the ball so my hands could go through his hair. I played with his hair while we kissed.

“Uuuff!” Niall grunted as we realized what was happening. Zayn had jumped on Niall, trying to start a dog pile. Realizing that I was about to be crushed by five guys, I tried to wiggle out underneath Zayn and Niall, only to find myself trapped under three people. Harry had joined the party too, then Liam, then Louis, and even Alice.

I thought my ribs were going to break under all of the weight. Six people were on top of me.
“I can’t breathe!” I said. I could feel the pressure in my face and Niall suddenly looked really worried. He tried to get off but only fell right back on me again. Eventually, everybody got off me and I lay on the ground, trying to catch my breath.

Niall stuck his hand out to me, trying to help me up. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. I held out my arms so I wouldn’t run into him.

“Thanks.” I said, wiping the grass off my clothes.

“Sorry love!” He said while helping me wipe off the rest of the grass that I couldn’t reach. I felt his hands slowly work down my back only to realize that his hands were awfully close to my bum. I turned around trying to protect my bum from his hands.

“Sorry love.” He said but I knew he wasn’t sorry. I playfully slapped his hand, which only made him smile more.

He held my hand as we walked back to the car. I heard Harry mumble under his breath but couldn’t comprehend what he was saying ‘till it was too late. Girls surrounded us everywhere, even the paparazzi showed up.

I heard girls saying awful things to me. I could feel Niall tensing up as he heard the words they said too. He squeezed my hand a little tighter to make me feel better but I really didn’t need it. It was the first time in a long time that the words that they said didn’t affect me.

I looked up at Niall who was looking back at me, worried.

“Niall don’t worry.” I said and squeezed his hand tighter this time.

“Those words don’t hurt me anymore. I know I’m beautiful, I won’t let them bring me down.” I said and it lifted the worry from his face. He smiled very big, so big that I thought he was going to tear his face muscles.

“Finally.”

He brought his lips down to mine, moving our lips together while the girls cried and the paparazzi took pictures. Niall didn’t care, he was more concerned in the words I had just said.

He pulled slowly away from the kiss but keeping his lips brushing softly against mine.

“Finally.” He repeated.

***

As we were taking Alice home, my mom text me.

Mom: Hey! I won’t be home till Saturday! I have to go to Florida and help with a case! Sorry love, you can stay home or find somewhere to stay! Make good choices! Love you!

My head bowed in disappointment. My mom was always gone. She was an investigator, like Sherlock Holmes, when they needed her, she had to leave.

“What’s wrong Cristy?” Alice asked while rubbing my shoulders.

“My mom won’t be home till Saturday. I guess they need her to investigate this case in Florida.” I replied.

“It’s okay! She always comes back when she says!” Alice said trying to make me feel better. I nodded in aproval and she removed her hand from my shoulder.

We pulled up to Alice’s house and before she closed the door she said, “See you guys! I had fun today!”

Niall smiled and replied, “We were happy to have you!”

She closed the door, leaving me and Niall alone in the car.

“Do you want to go home?” Niall asked. I shook my head.

“I hate being alone.” I said speaking nothing but the truth.

Niall looked at me with sympathy in his eyes.

“Would you like me to come home with you?” I asked seriously. I blushed.

“Y-you don’t have t-o!” I said, the words were coming out in stutters.

He smiled at my nervousness.

“I just want to be there to comfort you. If you feel weird about it, tell me and I will leave. Okay?” He asked while rubbing my cheeks. I nodded, too embarrassed to say anything else.
We pulled up in my drive way. Niall shut the car off and jogged to my side of the car. He opened the door for me and grabbed my hand, entwining out fingers as we walked up my path to my front door.

I let go of Niall’s hand while I nervously unlocked the door. I walked in and put the keys in the bowl and said, “Come in.” I thought it was cute how he waited for me to tell him it was alright for him to come in. He’s such a cutie.

He followed me up the stairs, this time I didn’t worry about him seeing my room as he already saw it earlier today.

I opened my door and turned the light on, I noticed it was almost nine o’clock. It was time for me to go to bed.

“You can get in bed.” I said while he was still taking interest in the many posters I had of him and the rest of the boys. He slowly sat on my bed while still admiring the pictures.

I walked to my dresser and picked out pajama shorts and a tank top. Niall smiled at me while I awkwardly walked to the bathroom to change. Normally I would change in my bedroom but considering I had a guy there, I was going to change in my own privacy.

As I was in the bathroom, Niall asked me something.

“Which one of us did you like better?”

I chuckled at him and relied, “I loved you all!” He laughed.

“No, I mean, which one did you see yourself with more?” It didn’t take long for me to answer, though it wasn’t him I saw myself dating.

“You really want to know?” I asked, just to make sure the question was still valid.

“Yes.” He responded.

“It was.. Louis.” I said his name quietly.

I didn’t hear anything from him. Then he started laughing.

“That’s funny! Cuz you’re with me!”

I laughed too while finishing putting my shorts and tank top on.

I walked out of the bathroom. Niall’s attention fully on me.

“Did you like me?” He asked, just a little more serious.

I rolled my eyes at him and practically shouted.

“Of course I liked you! You’re the sweetest of the bunch! You’re adorable and sexy all at the same time! One look from you could cause girls to faint everywhere! Of course I liked you! What kind of question is that?” I finished and Niall looked shocked from my answer. Then a grin slowly made its way to his face.

“I’m sexy, huh?” He asked. I giggled as I watch him wriggle his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes and got in the other side of the bed.

Niall looked uncomfortable.

“You tired?” I asked. He nodded his head.

“Want to sleep?” I asked.

He looked at me and smiled.

“I normally sleep naked.” I blushed and looked at him.

“Well, you could take your shirt off and your pants as long as you promise me you’ll keep your underwear on!”

He laughed.

“I promise.”

I watched him as he took his shirt and pants off, revealing some type of basketball shorts underneath. He got back in bed and covered me up. We were both under the covers when he pulled me closer to his bare chest. I could feel his chest rise up and down while he breathed. I smiled at the fact it made me feel safe. He kissed me on the forehead and tightened his grip around my waist. I smiled as I slowly started to feel the weight of my eye lids increase.

“Niall?”

“Hmm.”He said, sending vibrations throughout his whole body.

“Will you sing for me?” I asked, hoping he would.

“Anything for you.” He said in his raspy tired voice, making me melt like ice cream.

He kissed my forehead again before he started to sing to me.

Don’t try to make me stay
Or ask if I’m okay
I don’t have the answer
Don’t make me stay the night
Or ask if I’m alright
I don’t have the answer
Heartache doesn’t last forever
I’ll say I’m fine
Midnight ain’t no time for laughing
When you say goodbye
It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible
I’ve tried to ask myself
Should I see someone else
I wish I knew the answer
But I know if I go now
If I leave and I’m on my own tonight
I’ll never know the answer
Midnight doesn’t last forever
Dark turns to light
Heartache flips my world around
Im falling down down down that’s why

I started to fall asleep and I think Niall noticed.

“Night love.” He said and kissed my forehead. I fell asleep in Niall’s embrace.
