Alex’s P.O.V.
I walked down the stairs holding Niall’s hand, and saw a breakfast buffet prepared on the dining room table. I looked at Niall, and he looked like he died, and went to heaven. He smiled at me, and then I turned back around, running with him to the table. We sat down, and loaded our plates with eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, and more. The others joined us a minute later, but we were already digging in.
“Geez, this breakfast was made for all of us,” Liam said, letting out a chuckle.
I reached for the last piece of bacon, but was beat out by none other than my Irish buddy. I looked up to see him with a smile on his face as he was about to eat the piece of bacon. He looked over at me, and then the bacon, back to me, back to the bacon. Finally he split it in half, and gave me one-half, while stuffing his face with the other. I smiled, and happily accepted. We cuddled up against each other, enjoying each other’s company. Then we noticed we were being watched. Everyone was looking at us with their jaws dropped.
“Can we help you?” I asked looking at everyone. Even Niall looked at them confused.
“Louis, slap me across the face,” Harry said in a state of shock. Louis of course was only happy to oblige.
“Care to explain why you guys look like you’ve seen a ghost?” Niall asked.
“Niall, do you not realize what just happened?” Liam asked, looking like he was going to pass out.
“Can someone please explain what’s going on before I throw this delicious chocolate chip pancake at someone’s face?” I demanded, starting to get aggravated.
“Nialler never shares food…ever,” said Zayn, with the same shocked look as the others. “Niall almost broke Louis’ arm when he tried to eat some of his popcorn at the movie theater one time.”
I turned to look at Niall, who was as red as a tomato. “Is this true Niall?”
He suddenly found his empty plate fascinating, while his cheeks grew a darker shade of red.
“Yeah,” Niall replied still looking down.
I couldn’t help but smile, and throw my arms around him. He lifted his head, and gave me that cute smile that was to die for. Then I leaned in, and placed my lips on his, and he pushed back; not rough, but passionate.
“MY EYES! OH MY GOD! I’M GOING BLIND!” Louis yelled, getting up from the table with his eyes covered. When he turned to run away, he ran into the wall, causing him to fall over. The boys and I started laughing hysterically.
I walked over to Louis to help pick him up off the floor.
“Is it safe to open my eyes?” Louis asked cautiously. I rolled my eyes, and uncovered his eyes myself. He could be such a child sometimes.
Niall’s P.O.V.
When her lips touched mine, I felt a rush flow through my body. I was in a daze when I suddenly realized that I had never asked her to be my girlfriend, and we haven’t even gone on a date. I’ve got some planning to do. I looked up to see Liam looking at me with a sly smile as he took a sip of his tea.
“What’s going on in that big brain of yours Niall?” Liam asked, trying to whisper so the others wouldn’t hear.
“Just thinking about how to ask Alex to be my girlfriend,” I admitted, blushing yet again. I really have to stop doing that.
“Well if you need any help, just let the boys and I know,” Liam replied. “I’m sure even Harry would be willing to help.”
“Thanks mate. I just want everything to be perfect. I know we’ve only just met, but I feel something with her that I’ve never felt with anyone else before,” I commented. “I just don’t want her thinking we’re going too fast, because I don’t want to lose her.”
Liam nodded before patting me on the back, and walking away with his dirty dishes. After that, we all got up, and put our dishes in the dishwasher. I looked at the clock, and saw that it was already noon.
“What are we going to do today guys?” Harry asked.
“How about we spend the day watching movies?” Alex asked, looking around the room for approval.
“I want to do whatever Lexi’s doing,” I replied. Then I realized I called her Lexi. I hope no one noticed. I looked around, and saw everyone looking at Alex to see if she caught my slip of the tongue. Shit. Shit. Shit… please don’t kill me, please don’t kill me.
Alex turned around, walked up to me, and as I closed my eyes expecting to be hit, but then I felt her lips kiss my cheek. When I opened my eyes from shock, she already turned around, and was sitting on the couch.
“What the hell?” demanded Harry. “I call you Lexi, I get a death glare, and smacked upside the head. Niall calls you Lexi, and he gets a kiss. This is bull—”
“Watch it Harry!” said Liam, stepping in to play the role of Daddy Direction.
“Fine, but I want an explanation,” said Harry, turning back to Alex.
“Sorry Haz,” said Alex with a smirk. “But I like the way it sounds when Niall says it. It just sounds really sexy.”
“Okay, sorry I asked.” Harry replied, walking up the stairs to his room, shivering at the thought that her sister called one of his best mates sexy. I on the other hand, went and sat next to Lexi. Yeah, I could get used to calling her that.
“So Lexi, what movie do you want to watch?” I asked, sending a smile in her direction.
Before she could even respond, Liam already turned on the TV after putting Toy Story in the DVD player… again.
“Liam!” Louis whined. “We have seen this movie a thousand times. Can’t we watch something else?”
A look of hurt appeared on Liam’s face. “Something else? But this is the best movie ever. Why would you want to watch something else?” Liam asked, looking back at Louis, waiting for an answer.
I didn’t want to hurt Liam’s feelings, but I felt like if I watched this movie one more time, I’d have to shoot myself in the foot for excitement. Lexi turned to me, and whispered in my ear “Want to go up to my room? We can play some more music like last night.”
I grinned, and grabbed her hand before running up the stairs. I felt bad leaving the boys to suffer through Liam’s favorite movie for the umpteenth time, but not sorry enough to go back.
We were playing through some songs, and I was just in awe of her voice. I decided that now was the perfect time to ask her to go out on a date with me.
“Lexi, I want to ask you something.” I said, trying not to stutter.
“What’s up Nialler?” she asked, her eyes moving from her guitar to me.
“I’m glad that Harry is ok with us getting close,” I started. “And I want to get to know you better. So I guess what I’m asking is… do you want to go out to dinner with me tonight?”
There was a moment of silence before she answered. I just hope I wasn’t making a fool out of myself.
“Niall….”
