Lani POV:

Niall and I walked side by side through the airport to the exit. I wanted to hold his hand, but it would be kind of illegal and frowned upon right now...
I looked up at him with curious eyes, "So, why are you dressed like that anyway?" I asked.
He chuckled, "So fans wouldn't recognize us. Or you."
"What?! Me?" I laughed and then I realized, "Wait... Us?"
"Well, yeah. Liam or AKA Leeroy came with his 'sister' Natalie." We turned around and saw "Leeroy" walking as feminine as possible with his "sister" Natalie. She waved as Jenny and "Marcel" caught up to us. What is up with all these alter egos?
"Where did you guys come up with these characters?" I asked.
"Well," He chuckled like an old man, "They're actually characters from our new music video coming out."
Marcel jumped in, "Just wait 'til you see Zayn." He laughed and snorted. Geez, these guys love getting into character.
I poked his face and said, "Well, when can I see my boyfriend? Because I really want to hold his hand." I twisted my shoe into the ground and watched it as he laughed.
"As soon as we get out of here." I smiled as we walked out the front doors with nobody suspecting a thing.

We walked through the parking lot as I got my keys to unlock my car.
"Woah. That's yours?" Marcel said.
"Yeah, she's my dream car." I marveled at her. Marcel leaned over to "Harvey (Niall)" and said:
"Dude, she calls her car a 'she'. This is when you propose." I laughed wholeheartedly and got into the driver's seat. Even if it was for a day... I really missed these guys. I drove off to my house as the boys were still geeking out over my van.
"I've always wanted one of these!" Leeroy said, taking off his wig and headband.
Niall squeezed his eyes as he took off his latex beard, "Ow.. ow. ow. Whew. Yeah, she's a classic. Oh and the van is too." I looked at him in the rear view mirror and he winked at me. I shook my head and silently chuckled.
"I'm not used to having you on the left side. It's odd to look at. Is it comfortable? That way?" Liam asked.
I thought for a moment while keeping my eyes on the road, "I mean, it is, but I think I'd rather drive on the right side. It makes more sense that way."
"How?" Jenn turned to me asking.
"Well, see, I always have trouble seeing if I'm in the middle of the road or not. I think if I was looking at a different perspective, it would be a lot easier."
She rolled her eyes, "It's because you want to be British in everything you do too, isn't it?"
"Oh, well, there's that too." I smirked.
Harry jumped in, "Your not missing much. British people actually are infatuated with American culture. And I guess here, they are infatuated with us?" He shrugged subtly implying.
"Yeah, we are. European accents are attractive." I said grinning at Niall in the mirror.
"And American accents are sexy too." Niall and Harry both said.
Liam put his arm around Natalie, "Don't you worry, babe. I love you and your voice. Just the way they are." The car filled with "Aw's" as we pulled into my driveway. I held Niall's hand as we went inside.
"Ms. Kalua? Are you here?" Niall shouted out.
My mother's head sprung up as she heard his voice, "Niall? what are you doing here?" she asked, wiping her hands on her apron.
"I came to ask your daughter a very important question actually." He turned to me. Oh god, don't pull out a ring... "Lailani Kalua. I think about you every single day and I try to stop myself... But it never works. You make me laugh, smile, and when you left... You took a part of me with you. And I can't let that happen ever again." He paused, "Lani, please come to school in the UK and live with me. Our "agreement" is still on the table," abstinence, "And you and I would actually be living in our own flat." He took me by the shoulders and stared into my eyes. My knees grew weak and I swear that I was going to fall, "Please, Lani. I can't see my life without you." Before I answered, I looked around at the people around me. But my eyes locked on my mom's.
"Niall, I can't. My mother needs m-," Mom put her hand over my mouth.
"She says yes," Everyone cheered as she glared at me, "Lani. I want grand kids before I die, ya know." I blushed like crazy and Niall took me into his arms and spun me around. I am in love with Niall Horan.

Niall wanted to see where I grew up as we walked down my street, hand in hand. The neighbors looked and whispered... but were generous enough to let us have our time together.
"You grew up in this town?" he asked.
I looked around at the memories before me, "Yeah. This is the kind of town where everyone knows your name and secrets." I smiled in reminiscence at the elementary school I went to. "That, there is my elementary school." I pointed to the long, red building in front of us.
Niall looked down at me and wore a white smile, "What?" I asked.
"I'd love to see who you were when you were little. You know, befriend someone like you." he kissed the nape of my neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "You're beautiful."
I closed my eyes and sung, "Oh. oh. oh. That's what makes-"He turned his head to face my face and kissed my cheek.
"You know one of our songs!" We both chuckled and walked towards the swing set. I sat on the swing and he sat on the one next to me. I drew a heart in the mulch as I said:
"I never wanted to leave you, you know."
"I know," he responded, "Your brain was telling you that it was the right thing to do. I get it."
"Yeah, maybe I should start listening to my heart for once."
He was turning something in his hand as he got up and stood behind me. He put the chain back on my neck and sat on the swing once again, "It hurt when you left. Not because you did, but because I couldn't hold you. Or kiss you. Or have you by my side." He grabbed a hold of my swing chain and pulled me closer, "I will always protect you. No matter what. And please, don't fear for my well being. Because it's my job to be your 'knight in shining armor'."
"Or when I need you to just be my Tramp and push meatballs around with your nose." I smiled as I took his face into my hands and brushed my lips against his.
He smiled against my lips and said, "I thought I was Lady..." we both guffawed and spent hours talking on the swing set, like we were kids again.
