I woke up the next morning with a slight headache, not to bad. Cambry must've still been in bed because it was quiet in the house. I rolled over to my left side and saw a tall glass of water and a bottle of medicine. Next to it I found a letter addressed to me:
Good morning love! Thought you could use this! Pick you up for the airport at 12:00!
Nialler
I looked up at the clock. 11:30. fabulous! Good thing I hadn't unpacked anything! I quickly rolled up out of the sheets, took two pills and chugged down the water. I plugged my phone into the speakers that played throughout the house hoping that Cammie will wake up. I turned on the shower head and let the water warm up. I stepped in and let the hot water relax my muscles. I stayed in the shower longer than I thought because the shower head turns the water multiple colours so I sat and watched for a bit. After my shower I jumped out and ran to the body dryer. I wasn't going to do anything fancy with my hair or makeup since I'd be on an aeroplane for the next couple of hours. I towel dried my hair and applied foundation all over my face and then applied concealer with a brush of powder across my cheeks, nose, and forehead. I put on some comfortable black leggings and Conor's over sized white X-Factor shirt that Cher had given him. I brushed through my hair that fell to the middle of my back and grabbed my favourite purple beanie.
I grabbed all my luggage and dragged it down the white spiral stairs. I found Cambry sitting on the kitchen counter eating a big bowl of 'Cake Batter' frozen yogurt. "My head hurts..." She complained rubbing her temple. "That's what you get for being as hammered as you were!" I yelled walking past her to drop my bags off by the door. Cam must have been up early because all her pink zebra bags were thrown all over.
Conor had left me a note on the door telling me to have a good flight, and that he would see me in two days.He had to leave super early to go do some radio interviews.
The alarm beeped letting me know that the gates were opened. "They're here Cam! Lets go!"
NIALL'S POV
Paul pulled into Conor's driveway giving one honk to let the girls know we had arrived. I got out of the van along with Harry to help them with their bags while Zayn was still fast asleep.
I waited leaning against the car door with my arms folded. My tongue slid over my now braces free teeth which were now really slimy!
The door opened and I saw Payson and Cambry struggling to get through the door with all of their bags. Hazz and I rushed to help. I took 2 of Payson bag and they were actually REALLY heavy! "What do you have in here?! Your whole room?!" I teased her. "Just about!" She said smiling up at me showing her one cute dimple on her cheek.
Harry and I threw their luggage into the back of the van which was already full from Zayn's 7 gigantic bags! We some how got it all to fit and we slid into our seats. "Hey Paul, can we stop for Milkshake City on our way? A milkshake sounds reaaaallllyyy good right now!" I begged him. "I'll even buy you onnnee!" I sang to him. "On a tight schedule Niall, but sense you're buying...." Paul trailed off.
"Just get 3 Daims and 2 1D milkshakes!!" I screamed out the window as Paul headed in. After Paul brought us our delicious milkshakes we started heading to Heathrow Airport."So what are we going to do for two days waiting for the rest?" Payson asked nudging my side. "I thought about surfing, boating, eating, drinking, and sleeping." I told her nudging her shoulder back.
"How long has Zayn been asleep?!" She asked turning her attention towards the guy who fell asleep while drinking his milkshake. "Your guess is as good as mine!" I told her laughing.
We soon pulled up to the front doors of the airport. No sign of fans or paps! Paul got out and put our luggage on the trolley. Three workers went with our bags through security and of to our jet.
Zayn got out cursing under his breath at Harry who happened to wake him up. I crawled out and let out my hand to help Payson. She grabbed it and jumped out. Instead of letting go, I ran my fingers. through hers. I glanced at her to see her reaction. She smiled at the ground and got red cheeks but didn't pull her hand out from mine. I loved holding her small, soft, delicate hands. They moulded into mine perfectly as if they were made for each other.
Honestly it felt good to be in a place where everyone could see me with a girl who I've started falling for. I was quite jealous seeing the lads always out and about with their girls. Not worrying how fans, paparazzi and management would react. That's something Harry and I have to always watch out for.
Payson and I walked behind Zayn, Hazz, and Cam. There were about 20 paps that had appeared outside who followed in front of us. They walked backwards to get good pictures of me and my new 'girlfriend'. I could tell Payse was getting frustrated with them of how she started squeezing my hand. She sighed relief when they were stopped by airport security as we squeezed through security check.
"Are you alright?" I had asked her quietly in her ear.
"Bit of claustrophobic back there..." She whispered back.
I rubbed circles with my thumb on the side of her hand to get her to relax. It seemed to work as we walked through the tunnel to get to our jet.
"Wait....we are taking THAT?" Payson asked, her jaw dropped and her eyes wide with shock and surprise, staring at the private white plane.
"Nice isn't it?" I smiled down at her.
PAYSON'S POV
Niall led me up the stairs of the boy's private jet. Ya....PRIVATE JET! As we entered the cozy plane I was in disbelief how fancy but homey it was. The long caramel-coloured leather sofas looked insanely comfortable and inviting. The walls were stocked with shelves full of hundreds of movies and magazines. It even had a little kitchen area and a fridge full of drinks and snacks.
"You like it?" Niall said jumping and landing on the sofa. There were honestly no words of how amazing it was. I simply nodded and joined him. Zayn was getting settled to sleep (no suprise) and Harry and Cam found a board game and were in the back at the little dining table.
"Looks like Louis and The Wanted fellas are at it again! Even Liam, Eleanor, Mazz, Tyler Oakley and Andy has joined in!" Niall told all of us as he scrolled through his twitter. "Those wanted boys need to relax, causing to much drama..." Mumbled Zayn into his pillow. I thought he was asleep but I guess not quite.
I opened up my twitter to read the fight. Louis knows how to argue and win! His comebacks were very hilarious. But I burst out laughing when I read Eleanor's tweet to Tom's girlfriend.....
@EleanorJCalder: @KelseyBelle90 #nipslip
Speaking of Eleanor I get to meet her next week when we are in Sydney, which I'm very excited about. She's absolutely gorgeous and hilarious!
I also have the privilege of meeting Zayn's girlfriend Perrie and the rest of the Little Mix crew. I've watched Perrie, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Jade when they first auditioned and they are the perfect group!
Liam's girlfriend Danielle gets off tour in 3 weeks so I'll be able to meet her then! Hopefully she can teach me some beginners dance moves and I would be somewhat good and not like a waddling penguin. Mazzi has attempted to teach me all his moves but gave up in the first 10 minutes when I accidentally hit him in the lower stomach region.....
I had no clue what I would do for 23 hours on a plane. Sure Pinterest would keep me busy for a certain amount of time before my eyes have gone all fuzzy and dull from looking at a screen to long,
so I went to the endless shelf of movies and chose the Hunger Games, Ironman 2, and the complete Harry Potter box set.
I returned to Niall showing him the choices and we both agreed on the Hunger Games. Why the previews were going through I went to the kitchen and popped some popcorn while Niall went to get blankets from the back. After a while watching the film, my eyes started to droop when Katniss was being raised to the arena. Unknowingly my head fell to Niall's shoulder. Before falling deep into sleep's open arms I heard a quiet laugh and "you better not dribble on my shoulder".......
NIALL'S POV
We've been on the plane now for about 6 hours now just guessing by the number of movies I've watched. Payson fell asleep 4 hours ago and she's still slightly snoring on my shoulder. I am the only one awake at this point. Hazz and Cam both fell asleep at their table while discussing what they wanted to do while we are in Australia. Those two have gotten pretty close in the past week along with Payse and I.
Yesterday Conor pulled me aside during the lads football match and asked me to watch over his little sister while down under. I promised I wouldn't leave her side until him and the rest of the crew arrived. He asked me where Payson and I stood. Obviously he has seen the articles and pictures about us. He didn't threaten me like a normal brother would about being with his baby sister but instead he told me just to not hurt her. I told him that we weren't together but he just said "treat her like a princess" and left to join in the match.
I couldn't get the image of me and Payse being a couple out of my head. It took me a week to realise how much I've fallen for her. Some would say we barley know each other but we've learned so much about each other that we could be old friends. Tomorrow or even now there would be pictures all over the Internet of us at the airport. And honestly I don't care what management or fans think. I just hope they don't send her hate but there are always those type of fans. I looked down at Payse who was cuddled into my side with her hand resting on my stomach. I put my arm around her shoulder and played with a strand of her brown hair until I fell into deep sleep.
I woke up to Paul informing us that we wood soon be landing. I struggled to open my eyes, still half asleep trying to comprehend what time it was. My body was stiff and began to grow sore as I grabbed my phone off the stand and read the time. Almost midday the next day! I've had slept the whole day yestersay!!!! And the looks of it so did the rest of the crew. Everyone slowly tried getting up. Turns out our doctor/ health care person slipped us a good size sleeping dose into our milkshakes to help prevent major jet lag. At first I was pissed but then realised how much energy I had. My phone buzzed. Cara Berkley from the modest team had texted me telling me to tweet that we were about to arrive. I tweeted:
Hello Australia!! Bout to land in Sydney, good to be back! looking forward to play for you guys..gonna be sick!! Who's all coming?!?
Seconds later I get thousands of mentions. People telling me that they are headed to the airport to see us. I was pretty excited to see the fans but nervous for Payson, and to see the fans react to her.
PAYSON'S POV
I woke up to find Niall typing something on Twitter. I noticed his arm around my shoulder and my hand curled into a fist on his stomach. I smiled at what I saw as I slowly walked to the bathroom to freshen up before we landed. My eyes struggled against the bright lights. I looked in the mirror surprised to see that I looked pretty darn good for someone you slept a whole day on a plane! I reapplied some mascara and powder and called it good. I grabbed a yogurt out of the fridge and rejoined Niall. I grabbed my phone and texted Conor to let him know we had just landed. The doors to the plane had opened and Zayn was the first off after security. Harry and Cambry followed Andy off afterwords. "There will be lots of fans... " informed Niall putting on his red snapback. "I know, I can hear the screaming." I teased him poking his side. "Is this okay?" He asked lacing his fingers through mine. "Ya it is, as long as nothing is thrown at me!" I laughed, turning away feeling blood rush to my cheeks as I led him down the stairs.
We followed the whole team through the airport. We stopped at the tiny food court centre to grab something from Starbucks as we haven't had something to drink for 20 something hours. My mango passion fruit juice greeted my dry throat happily as I chugged down the cup. We sat in a small cozy booth waiting for the Australian police to calm down the thousands of fans waiting outside. The tv above us was on the news. Shots of the airport and the massive crowd of fans were playing as I read the caption "ONE DIRECTION DRAWS THOUSANDS OF SCREAMING FANS TO SYDNEY AIRPORT". My phone whistled letting me know I had a twitter notification.
@NiallOfficial: hey Aussie fans! We would love to come chat but please stay calm so security will let us through! excited to be here with the lads and friends (:
About a half hour later the screaming drew quiet enough giving us the green card to go. I was kind of freaking out about the thousands of people crowding around to see Niall, Zayn and Harry. I rapped my arm tightly around Niall's waist not wanting to lose him, in return he put his arm around my shoulder.
We rode down the escalators as we were greeted with the screams of fans and flashes of cameras. Crying, jumping and shouting fans were held behind a barricade of police and airport security. Niall greeted and waved as we walked pass the herd of teenaged girls. He never let go of my hand as he signed autographs and took pictures with them. Some even asked to have a picture with me so I slightly nodded and smiled for their camera.
I made some small chat with a couple of sweet girls named Sam, Jessy, Amy and Charlotte while Niall continued signing posters and shirts. They were so nice to me! They told me I was beautiful, and how happy they were when Niall found his 'princess' they asked for a follow on Twitter and told me how much the "ship" 'Nayse'. I laughed a bit at our ship name and my stomach flipped as I realised they thought we were a couple. I returned with compliments asking about a girls shoes, her shirt and a necklace. I promised I would follow them as Paul guided us to our van outside.
My mind was still stuck on why they thought Niall and I were a couple. I mean obviously that could come from us holding each others hands, but that turned pretty natural for both of us. His warm strong hand comforted me.
We drove off to our hotel as fans tried to keep up with the car. Harry, Zayn and Cambry laughed as they encouraged the couple of fans to not give up.
"So it wasn't that bad wasn't it?" Niall's voice interrupted me watching the one fan finally give up chasing us.
"Actually I enjoyed meeting them! They were very polite." I smiled as I traced a vein on his hand.
We soon pulled up to the Intercontinental Hotel were we would be staying for the next two weeks. When we walked in I gasped...it was so fancy! A huge white chandelier hung from the ceiling above the lobby. The lady at the counter gave us our room keys letting Paul know the whole 7th floor was for us. And yes I mean the whole floor! Our luggage was being taken up to the rooms by the bellhop which was pretty cool I have to admit. I've never had someone take car of my bags, I usually dragged them along.
We walked to the lift as we waited for it to arrive. Only about three people could fit in the lift because of all the suitcases everyone had took up most of the available space, so Zayn, Niall and I squeezed in. Zayn was talking to Perrie, making plans to meet up later today as Niall and I discussed our plans while here. We both wanted to go boating and swimming to catch a tan which we were in desperate need of. After we got off I went to my room which I shared with Cam and jumped right on the king sized bed. I let my eyes wander around the huge gray room. I smiled as I saw Cambry skipping into the room like a child. "This is going to be the best summer EVER!" She shouted as she flopped onto the mattress. She got back up and sprinted to the fridge. "Oh my gosh!" She gasped. Turning to me with a surprised face. She modelled the fridge full of red-bulls and random fizzy drinks. "You're crazy, you know that?" I took a pillow and chucked it at her head. "Oh okay ya I'm the crazy one!" She said sarcastically as she grabbed a Mountain Dew and a Red Bull from the fridge. Cam plopped down next to me while drinking half and half of each can. "So....what's the deal between you and Niall?" She asked like it was no big deal, "And don't say nothing because you two are all over the web!" Her pointer finger inches away from my nose.
Just then someone knocked on the door. Thank The Lord! "Sorry can't talk!" I hopped of the bed laughing as Cambry glared at me. "I hate you..."she mumbled. "Heard that!" I hollered back at her.
I looked through the little peep hole in the door and found Harry rocking back and forth on his heels looking around the corridor. "It's for you!" I screamed to Cambry as I let Harry in. "Hey Payse, how's everything going?" He asked me. I've just realised that I haven't talked to Harry a lot considering him and Cambry are always off together. But Harry was easy to talk to, and always trying to keep up a conversation. I found him to be like a cousinish brother.. "Good Hazz! And with you?" I asked him as Cambry joined us by the door. "Great thanks," he smiled at me showing off his dimples, "Ready Cam?" He asked while offering her his arm. "Where you to going?" I interrupted.
"Just to the music shop down the street." Cambry said taking his arm and putting her purse onto her shoulder. Gosh those two looked absolutely adorable together. I reminded myself to ask her what was the situation was between them.
They left me while I was lost in my thoughts, probably looking stupid staring at nothing. I thought I should get myself publicly acceptable just in case we went anywhere for the rest of the day. A threw on a black tank top with a cheetah cross on it, a pair of old American Country ripped shorts and my usual pair of white converse. I took my style wand and wrapped my hair around the barrel trying not to burn my fingers in the process.
When I finished I ran my fingers through the kind of tight curls to make them look loose and beachy. I was spraying my favourite smelling hair spray when there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?!" I yelled as I was threw Cambry's bags and clothes around to make the room look neat. "Take a wild guess!" An Irish accent responded. "Umm...lemme think....Taylor Lautner?!?!" I shook my head laughing as I opened the door to find Niall leaning against the side of the door frame. "Lautner is not even Irish!" He teased me as he walked into the room sitting on Cambry's bed. "What smells like grapes?" His nose lifted into the air like a dog. "My hairspray." I simply stated. "Hmmm....well what are you up for doing?" He asked me taking my hand and pulling me to sit next to him. "I don't really know, haven't you got anything planned yet?" I asked as I jumped and landed on the soft mattress.
"Zayn wants you to meet Perrie so he invited us to go on like a double date, if that's okay with you of course." He pulled out his phone and read a message from Zayn. "Well of course I'd like to meet Perrie, did Zayn tell you where we are going?" I watched him read the text. "Yup! They want to go on a boat for a bit then dinner, Perrie says bring a bathing suit since Zayn won't and can't swim." He laughed then stood up to leave. "I'll give you a moment to get ready, I will go get my stuff then get a car for us. Be back in a bit." With that he was gone.
