Small Talk (Niall Horan)

Chapter 68

"That's great! All of his siblings were there?"

"Yeah, it was amazing. They can never get all of them together, so Louis was really happy."

"Aww that's so nice."

"I know. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Gigi's in town so I figured I'd invite her as well, so that she doesn't feel left out."

"Oh sure, the more the merrier. Maya already went back to America?"

"Yeah, she left yesterday."

"It would've been nice for all of us to be together in one place again."

"Well, we'll be all together pretty soon I suppose. I plan on going on tour with Lou and the boys. You're coming too right?"

"Niall and I haven't really spoke about that."

"Oh please come, I don't want to be the only girl there, you know how dirty they can be. I need my girl squad to help me keep them in check."

"Okay, I'll talk to him and my parents. I'm sure we can work something out. Maybe I won't be able to go to all of the tour dates, but I'll definitely try to go to as much tour dates as I can."

"Great, I can't wait."

"Me neither."

Eleanor , Gigi and I had a lovely lunch. El nailed it when choosing the restaurant, it looked really fancy and elegant but the food tasted homemade, the perfect combo. After eating we headed to Harrods, during lunch I told the girls that I had never been to Harrods before and they insisted that we had to go. It's a must, they claimed. And it was a great store and us being girls, didn't leave the store empty handed. I bought a cute new purse and a puffy coat that I fell in love with. The girls also bought some clothes. 

N: Hey baby, we've been really busy. 

N: Glad you had lunch with Eleanor and Gigi

N: I was planning on inviting the lads over tonight, so tell the girls too

S: Eleanor and I talked about that earlier, so you read my mind haha

S: See you back at the flat

S: We'll get dinner for everyone

N: Thanks babe. See you in about 2 hours

"Niall just texted and told me he invited the lads over to his flat." I announced to Gigi and Eleanor.

"I knew it." Eleanor laughed. "Soph and I were talking about this earlier." She explained to Gigi, since she hadn't been there.

"They love hanging out." Gigi chimed in.

"And I told them we would get them dinner."

"Sounds great." Gigi spoke.

"Nando's?" Eleanor asked, alluding to our previous conversation, I knew she was craving Nando's.

"Of course." I smiled at her. 

We stayed wandering around Harrods for another 30 minutes, with minor damages to our bank accounts and then started heading back to Niall's flat. We were going there first to leave our shopping bags and order the food and then head down to pick it up. Because Niall being the foodie that he is, had chosen his flat based on the restaurants that were around it. He's a massive Nando's fan, so it's no coincidence that there's one a block away.

2 hours later, just when we finished setting everything up, the lads arrived.

"Hi babe." Niall came towards me as soon as he walked through the door and embraced me. Zayn and Louis did the same. When we broke from our embrace I saw Harry and Liam hugging each other and we all burst out laughing. 

"What?" Harry inquired.

"We wanted hugs too." Liam admitted, making us all crack up all over again. 

"Yes! You got Nando's." Niall cheered as soon as he saw the food.

"Of course, we were going to have it for lunch, but then you'd kill Soph if you found out we went there without you." Eleanor explained.

"Good call." Niall laughed.

"So how did the meeting go?" I asked.

"Pretty good. We set the dates for the tour and made a rough plan of the cities we'll visit, so that we'll know what to say when they ask us tomorrow." Niall responded.

"And we started discussing the new album too." Liam contributed.

"That's great!" Gigi told them.

"So, from what Niall told us, when they ask who's single, he'll say he's single right?" Harry checked with me.

"Yeah, we plan on doing our own announcement in about 10 days."

"Perfect, I just didn't want to be the one to fuck things up mid interview. Glad we cleared that up."

"So the only single would be Niall right?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, I suppose." Niall answered. "But only for the media." He added. How cute was he?

"Are you girls coming tomorrow with us for promo?" Zayn asked.

"Not the morning radio shows. They're recorded way too early." Gigi complained.

"But we'll come to the talk shows in the afternoon." Eleanor added.

"Deal." Zayn spoke.

"You're coming too right?" Niall whispered in my ear.

"Of course baby." I smiled at him.
