When the girls got to the hotel, the guys were there already. The girls had stopped a couple of times on the way. They were actually enjoying the trip down to Miami. Acting silly singing along to One Directions songs the whole way. They laughed and had a great time. The fans were out in full force even though it was like 6 am by the time they got there. It was unbelievable. They had to show the parking guy their reservation confirmation just so they could get in the parking garage. They were glad they had a covered garage and entrance. JJ was especially worried, since they were recognized last night. She didn't want that right now. They grabbed their bags and went inside.

Lottie had set them up with a room on the floor the guys were on. They got their key and went up there. They put their bags in their room and decided they were going to see Niall and Harry. They went and knocked on the door after security told them which rooms they were in. They were across the hall from each other. Neither answered. They must be sleeping. The girls looked at each other and shrugged.

"Our room or breakfast?" Julie asked. She was still wide awake for some reason.

"Breakfast" Amanda said. "Couldn't sleep anyway. And I'm hungry."

They turned, and Julie ran smack into Zayn. He steadied her with a hand on each shoulder. "Nice running into you." He said with a laugh.

"Ouch." Julie laughed. "Don't sneak up on people like that."

"What are you two gorgeous ladies up to?" He asked.

"Neither Niall nor Harry are answering their doors. So we are going to breakfast. Then maybe try to wake them up." Amanda said.

"Let me talk to Paul. I bet he can get keys, and you can sneak attack them." Zayn said laughing.

"Sure." Julie said laughing. "Sounds fun."

Zayn left and came back a few minutes later. "He will get the keys and bring them to you. Come on; let me buy you two breakfast." He put both his arms out elbows first so each could take one.

They each grabbed an arm. "By all means, fine sir." Julie said. Wow, they were all so kind and so good looking. Five totally different guys, but each so kind.

They went down to the restaurant with Zayn. Luckily, it was still pretty early and quiet. They got to sit towards the back and talk. Zayn was super easy to talk to. Julie didn't find him all that mysterious like everyone made him out to be. He was kind and funny and extremely fun to talk to. They laughed through breakfast, and after Paul brought the keys to the girls, Zayn offered his arms again and walked them back to the rooms.

"Thanks for being my breakfast dates," He kissed each on the cheek. "Time for some sleep." He walked to his room.

"Huh," Julie said. "Never expected that."

"Right?" Amanda said. "Nice guy though. Was nice to get to know him a little better."

"Yeah, I've talked to him a couple times. Seems very gracious and humble." Julie said. "And only between us. He's not hard to look at." She laughed.

"No, he's not. But we will keep that between us for now." Amanda laughed.

She took the key and opened Niall's door quietly. She walked over to his bed. He was sound asleep. He looked so cute and so peaceful. She took her cold hands and put them right on his bare back. She laughed super hard when he jumped up and spun over. Niall immediately grabbed her arms and pulled her onto the bed pinning her down. "Not nice." He growled at her.

"You're so cute when you growl." Amanda said still laughing.

"How did you get in here?" He asked.

"Well I knocked, but you must've been asleep and didn't answer. Harry didn't either, so Julie and I decided to go to breakfast. We ran into Zayn. JJ literally did, and he talked to Paul who said he would get us keys while Zayn took us to breakfast." She answered.

"You've been busy this morning. Sorry I didn't answer." He said.

"No problem; you need to sleep sometime. We had fun." She said.

"Yeah, I do need to sleep sometime. Just, not now." He said as he leaned down and kissed her. He'd missed her terribly. He ran his hand up her hip and under her shirt slightly so he was touching her bare skin.

Amanda flinched when his hand found her skin. Wow. She hoped he didn't feel like she was pressuring him because of the conversation they had. "Niall, I don't want you to think you have to. I'm ok with just being here with you."

"I don't feel I have to. I fought it the last time we were together. I don't want to fight it anymore. Ok?" he said looking into her eyes.

"More than ok." She said. She thought she could feel him looking deep into her soul. She reached up and ran her hands down his back.

Niall climbed over her so he was looking down at her. He slowly moved his hand further up her shirt bringing it up her body with his hand. He kissed her stomach inch by inch up to her chest. He slid the shirt up over her head and found her lips. He kissed her passionately and deeply. He moved to the side of her neck.

Amanda was going crazy at his touch. It was so worth the wait, she thought. He was taking his time, and she enjoyed every moment. She thought she was going to explode though. This was finally it. It was more then she even imagined it would be.

Julie let herself into Harry's room. She took off her shoes and went and looked at him sleeping, cuddled up in the fluffy comforter. He looked so sweet and so cute. She saw he had no shirt on. She hoped he at least had on something. She lifted the blanket and was relieved he had on a pair of shorts. After everything, a naked Harry was not a good thing at this time. She carefully climbed in beside him under the comforter. Since he was on his side facing her, she lifted up his arm and carefully scooted as close to him as possible and wrapped his arm around her. She buried her face into his chest.

Harry didn't even open his eyes. He knew her smell. He knew right away what was happening. He pulled her as close as he possibly could and rested his chin on her head. This is what he wanted. How did she get in here? he thought. It didn't even matter. This felt right. He felt dampness on his chest. It took him a minute, but he realized she was crying. Why was she crying? He rolled away slightly and tried to untangle her from him enough to look at her face. He felt her tighten her arms. She didn't want him to look at her. "Baby, why are you crying?" He instinctively rubbed her back.

"I'm not." She said barely audible because her face was still buried in his chest.

"Julie." He said. They'd come so far, and he didn't want her to close back up.

She took a minute and then rolled onto her back wiping her eyes quickly. "I'm ok. Really. I'm not sure what's come over me." She reached up instinctively and played with the same curl of hair she did the first time they were together.

Harry smiled. He loved when she did that. He kissed her lightly on the forehead, cheek, nose, and neck. He wrapped her tightly in his arms again. "We can talk when you're ready. I'm ok with this."

"Don't let go, ok? I'm afraid I'm falling." She whispered.

He knew what she meant. But he didn't want to push too hard. He thought to himself 'I already fell', but he didn't say it. He figured that would really scare her. One thing at a time. "I will never let you hit the ground." He said instead. He held her until she fell asleep. He pulled back slightly to look at her. Even in her sleep she still seemed slightly on edge. He wished he could take away her fear and her pain. He hoped he could someday. If she kept opening up to him, maybe he could figure out why she was so scared and why she was so guarded, but for now what she said today was enough. It might have been hard for her, but she made sure he knew she wanted him. To him, that was progress. He had time to figure the rest out as long as he had her while doing it. He finally fell asleep holding her in his arms.

Julie started waking up. She was so tired though that she had a hard time opening her eyes. The emotional roller coaster she'd been on finally seemed to have caught up with her. She was kind of cramped up, but she was so comfortable laying in Harry's arms head on his chest that she didn't think she moved at all while she was sleeping. She felt Harry start to stir. She kissed his chin. "Hi."

He smiled. "Hi. So glad to know the last 18 hours weren't a dream. I was afraid I would wake up to find it all a dream."

"You mean a nightmare? Aren't I more of a nightmare?" she teased.

"No not at all. I enjoy your stubborn ass." He said as he slapped her butt.

She lay back down on his chest. "Liar." She laughed.

"I'm serious. We have a lot to talk about." He said.

Julie was relieved when there was a knock at the door. She got up to answer it. "No! We've already exhausted my feelings talk yesterday. I can't do it again today. Nope, sorry." She opened the door to Amanda and Niall. She went back and crawled on the bed and covered her head with the comforter.

"What are you doing?" Amanda asked.

Harry laughed. "I tried to make her talk again. She said she's exhausted her feelings talk." He took the pillow and smacked her body with it.

Niall shook his head, and Amanda laughed. "She did seem to do more of it yesterday than in the whole time I've known her. I told her she might become a real girl yet."

"I hate you all." They heard a muffled voice say from under the comforter.
All three of them laughed.

"C'mon; the beach is calling our names." Niall said. "Get your asses up. Everyone else has left already."

"Did you girls bring your bikinis you had last time we were at the beach?" Harry asked. "I know I wouldn't mind seeing them again. Ouch!" He laughed. Julie had reached out from under the blanket and pinched him.
"What? Don't hate. Niall, you guys go. We will get ready and meet you guys there."

"Alright, don't take too long. Got lots to do." He took Amanda's hand and walked her out.

Harry pulled the comforter from her head. "Are you hungry? We can order something."

"We went to breakfast earlier. I think I'm still full." Julie said.

"When?" Harry asked.

"You and Niall must have been sleeping when we got here so we decided to go have breakfast. I literally ran into Zayn. Zayn said we should sneak attack you guys, and he talked to Paul who said he would get us keys to your rooms, and then Zayn took us to breakfast." Julie explained.

"Zayn took you to breakfast? Really?" Harry asked.

"Not me, us, it was a very kind gesture." Julie said.

"You seem to get along rather well with Zayn." Harry said.

"I do. I get along rather well with every one of the guys. Except you, apparently." She said.

Harry threw a pillow at her. "Hey! Be nice."

Julie caught the pillow. "I was too nice yesterday. What do you expect from me, Mr. Styles?"

"Nothing, you brat." He said shaking his head.

"Eh, I've been called much worse." She started laughing when he grabbed her.

"Ok sassy." He kissed her deeply.

When it was over she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his chest. It was becoming her new favorite place to be. "Guess you found a way to shut me up."

He held her tightly. "Yes, and I think I may use it more often. Ouch!" He laughed when she playfully bit him. "Sometimes you talk too much. But only when you're teasing me. Otherwise you don't talk enough."

"Ok, I will shut up. Definitely don't want to go there. I will go get ready now." She didn't move.

"Um, I think you have to let go before you can do that." He said.

"Dammit." After a few more minutes she pulled back. "Stop being so bossy."

God, she was fun. When she was like this, it was like they got on so well. She was sassy and playful. That other side of her though was rather complicated. He had to accept both. He wanted to figure out that other side. He had a feeling it would be a lot of work and take a lot of time. But having this side of her show, he believed he could manage. "No, now go get ready."

She stuck her tongue out at him and went to her room to get showered and changed.
