Chapter 22
"I'm gay." Niall bites his lip nervously.
My jaw drops. That was not what I was expecting. I thought Niall was going to say he liked me, not that he was gay.

Hahahaha! I'm sorry! I could not resist. How many of you guys actually thought I was serious? Okay, continue reading. This one is serious. :)

"I like you." Niall whispers, a faint blush visible on his cheeks.
Oh my goodness. Eleanor and Danielle were right. I didn't think he would actually do it. Does that mean our plan to make him jealous worked? I wasn't even trying. I should trust Eleanor and Danielle more often. Well, maybe not that often. This plan was way out of my comfort zone. I don't think I could do something like this again.
Niall's eyes search my face, waiting for me to say something. Have I been spacing out this entire time? Real smooth, Natalie. You must look like an idiot just staring at Niall and not saying anything. I still haven't said anything. Niall must be freaking out right now by my silence.
"Ditto." I reply.
Someone please tell me that I did not just say that? Why am I so awkward? I face palm myself right in front of Niall. Niall tells me he likes me and I say ditto. Does anyone even say that word any more?
"I'm such an idiot." I mutter.
Niall grabs my hands and pulls them away from my face. "You're not an idiot." He chuckles.
"Oh no." I disagree with him. "I am an idiot. The guy I like just told me he likes me and I say ditto. No one even says that anymore."
"I like you too." Niall laces our fingers together.
"Really?" I ask him just to make sure.
Niall leans down slowly. "Really."
"I hope we aren't interrupting anything here, but we need to go!" Louis runs past us with Eleanor right behind him.
I jump away from Niall, blushing. No, you didn't interrupt anything. Just our first kiss together. It's not a big deal, Louis. I bite my tongue to stop myself from saying this out loud. Liam and Danielle race past us and to the car. Okay, what is going on here?
"Get in the car!" Zayn comes out of nowhere. He grabs my arm and pulls me to the car.
"What's going on?" I follow behind him, my hand still in Niall's.
Liam's head pops out of the car's window. "Harry-"
A loud girly scream cuts Liam off. I spin around to see where the screaming came from. "Oh my god! Is that Harry Styles?!"
Harry bursts out of the club with about fifteen girls chasing after him. Niall pushes me in the car and jumps in next to me. Liam starts the engine to the Range Rover. Harry sprints to the car and jumps in, landing on Zayn's lap. Louis slams the door shut before any of the girls can get in.
"What is going on?" I turn to look at Zayn.
"I think Harry should tell you." Zayn glares at Harry, who is still on his lap.
Harry pushes himself up to a sitting position. "I may have danced with a girl that had a boyfriend. He didn't appreciate it. Then her friends saw me and that's how I had all those girls chasing after me."
"We were looking for you two when it happening." Louis spins around in his seat to look at Niall and I. "Where did you two go?" He smirks.
"Yeah, why weren't you in the club?" Zayn spins around.
"Uh?" I turn to Niall, unsure of what to say.
What are we supposed to say? We aren't technically dating yet. All we said was we like each other and I embarrassed myself in front of him. There's nothing to really tell them. I'll tell Eleanor and Danielle that our planned worked. Zayn may have approved, but I don't want to say anything just yet.
"They were probably just talking." Eleanor saves us.
"Their faces were inches apart, though." Louis continues. "You kept getting closer. Normally, people have a good distance between each other when they are having a conversation."
I narrow my eyes at Louis. "It must have been your imagination. You were running past us. Your eyes must be playing tricks on you."
Louis shakes his head, not giving up. "I don't think so. It almost looked like you two were about to kiss. Is something going on between the two of you?"
"Louis! If you don't knock it off, I am going to make you sleep on the floor." Eleanor threatens him.
"Just answer the question and I'll leave you alone." Louis raises an eyebrow at us.
Zayn snaps his head to look at Louis. "They were obviously about to kiss. We all know they like each other. It's been obvious ever since they met. If you haven't seen that, then maybe you do need to get your eyes checked. Now stop harassing my sister. I don't want to hear about my sister almost snogging my best friend." Zayn finishes.
Who would have thought Zayn would have came to our rescue? I figured it would have been Eleanor or Danielle. That must have been awkward to listen to. I certainly wouldn't want to hear about Zayn talking about a girl he was kissing. That would be gross.
"Thanks Zayn." I hug him from behind.
"Just don't song in front of me and we will be okay." Zayn pats my arm.
I laugh and lean back in my seat. "Deal."
Niall sets his arm around my shoulders and pulls me into his side. "We should pick up a movie." Niall changes the subject.
"Club night turns into movie night." Danielle nods. "I like it."
"What do you want to watch?" Liam asks everyone.
"Horror!"
"Romantic comedy!"
"Comedy!"
"Disney!"
"Action!"
I cover my ears when everyone shouts what they what to watch. I don't even know who shouted what. I'm pretty sure Dani or Eleanor said romantic comedy. I don't think any of the guys would suggest that.
Liam ended up driving to a movie store and bought one of each genre that was shouted. Of course, Liam picked Toy Story for Disney category. We decided that we would vote on which movie we would watch when we got back up to the room. I am hoping that we watch the comedy movie. I love comedies.
We finally made it up to the hotel room twenty minutes later. I hadn't realized how tired I was. I still wanted to watch the movie. If it is a horror movie, I will fall asleep on the couch. If it is one of the others, I will fall asleep one hour into the movie. Either way, I will fall asleep on the couch.
I walk past the living room to the bedroom where my clothes are. I change into a pair of green sweatpants and a white tank top. I pull on a pair of grey socks. I grab the blanket off my bed before heading to the living room. Dani and Liam are cuddled up on one end of a couch with Louis and Eleanor on the other end. Zayn is laying on the floor with a blanket. Harry is passed out on the floor next to Zayn. I look for Niall, but I don't see him yet.
I curl up on the other couch with the blanket wrapped around me tightly. My eyes land on the tv that is showing the beginning credits of Toy Story. Looks like Liam won. Good. I did not want to watch a horror movie.
Niall emerges from one of the bedrooms in a pair of red sweats and a black shirt. I watch him scan the room for me. His eyes lock on mine and he walks over to me. I sit up to make room for him. Niall sits down next to me and lays down. He pulls me down on his chest.
I don't think I am going to stay awake for an hour. Maybe one minute.

Alright, I just want to apologize for not updating the past few days. I went to the beach and the hotel had terrible wifi. I felt absolutely terrible for not updating for you. It was driving me insane.
I know this is a crappy update, but I don't feel good. I got sunburnt and I'm really tired. I wanted to update at least one story. If it sucks, I'm sorry.
