Led to You (Stole My Heart)
Chapter 9
Lani POV:
We walked up the streets of London (yet again) with a couple of bags in our hands, heading to our hotel.
"It's been fun, Natalie. I guess we'll see you tonight?" I said.
"Yeah! Totally. I mean, I still have to run it by the guys... Are you gonna text Niall, then?"
"Yeah." I replied, "Be safe getting back, okay?"
"Okay! See ya!" With a wave of her hand, she was gone.
Jenny and I headed up the elevator and found Mom still sleeping, and the ibuprofen bottle next to the bed. That bad, huh?
"Hey, Mom. You have to eat something." Jenny said. My mom rubbed her eyes sleepily and squeezed them tight. I turned off the light, and she sighed. Yep, that bad.
I ordered some room service for her... Nothing big, while my sister got an ice pack from the freezer and placed it on her head.
"Lani, we can't keep her like this tonight. Someone has to stay here with her."
I sighed, "You're right. Niall and I will watch her. It's time for you to have some fun." I smiled at her. I wanted to go, but this was Jenny's chance to have a blast with Zayn... I didn't want to ruin it.
"Are you sure?" she asked with mixed emotions.
"Of course. Niall and I already had our perfect night. I think it's time for you to have a perfect night too. And Zayn's single." I said sing-songy.
"Oh alright. I still feel bad though."
"And that's just human nature, sis." I kissed her on the cheek and took out my phone. I dialed Niall's number and went out on the balcony.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked.
"Hey. Nothing much. Just got back to the hotel. Did Natalie get home yet?"
"No, not yet. Why? Is something up?" he asked kind of panicked.
"No, no, no," I said reassuringly, "No, I was just wondering because she wanted to have a date night. Like one with you, me, Jenny, Zayn, her, Liam, and Eleanor and Louis. I would invite Harry and Paige if she wasn't so hostile at the moment...." I sighed.
"Wait, Jenny and Zayn?"
"Well, yeah... Since he was the only single one I felt like they could go together and not feel third-wheelish."
"Okay. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. And Zayn isn't the only single one, ya know." Wait? Is he talking about us?
"Wait, Niall I-" he started to laugh.
"Not us, silly! Harry and Paige just broke up." My jaw dropped to the floor.
"You're lying. You have to be."
"Do you not have any faith in me, Miss Kalua?" Oh yeah, our first date. I doubted that he knew Ed. "No lie, I swear. We told him that he didn't have to put himself through it.. I'll tell you the rest tonight, okay?"
"Okay. And that reminds me. Do you mind if we don't go?"
I could sense that his face looked confused, "Why?"
"Because someone has to look after my mom. I don't want her drinking again... and I want Jenny to have a good time tonight. Do you mind?" I asked
"No, not at all," You could hear the smile in his voice, "As long as I'm with you... It doesn't matter where we are."
"You always know what to say don't you?" I laughed, "How did I get so lucky?"
"I ask myself the same question all the time." My heart soared. I wish I knew what we were so I would know whether it's okay to say the three words or not... Right as I thought that, I heard a whisper.
"Hm?" I said.
"I said, I love you." Holy shit.
I felt the same way about him. I couldn't get him out of my mind. I don't care if we've only known each other 2 days or 2 years... I loved this man. And love, to me, has no speed limit.
"I love you, too." I ended the call and walked inside with a huge smile on my face.
Harry POV:
That was hard... But I'm glad I did it. Even though she probably put a big bruise in my back from the clock she threw at me... Ouch.
I rubbed my back as I walked into our flat.
"Hey! How'd it go?" Lou greeted me.
"It was hard... And she threw a clock at me... But, it was worth it."
"A clock?" Liam commented, intrigued, "That's new."
"Where did it hit you?" Lou asked
I rubbed my back, "My back."
"Ouch." Zayn said.
"Yeah," I replied when the door opened. It was Natalie.
"Hey babe." Liam got up and kissed her, "How was shopping?" she lifted up her bags.
"This good." she laughed, "So hey, Lani, Jenny and I thought of something."
"What is it?" Lou asked.
"Well, we thought we could have a date night. You, Eleanor, Niall, Lani, Liam, me, Paige and Harry... If Paige is okay with it -"
"They broke up," Liam whispered into her ear.
"Oh, I'm sorry." she looked uncomfortable, "I didn't know-"
"It's fine," I cut her off, "Don't worry about it." I gave her a smile, which made her's return.
"Okay, well anyway, Zayn, is it okay if Jenny goes with you?" Wait... Zayn and Jenny? I don't like it.
"Yeah, sure. I don't mind." he responded.
"Great!" she exclaimed, jumping and clapping her hands. Niall walked out of the hallway with a tooth brush stuck in his mouth.
"Wani an I an't co."
"What, Neil?"
He took the toothbrush out, "Lani and I can't. We have to look after her mom."
"Aw," Natalie said looking disappointed, "I guess that's okay. Family comes first."
"So where are we going?" Liam asked with his arm around her shoulder.
"How about we play some miniature golf?" she suggested.
"I love it! Zayn, you are so going down!" Lou challenged.
"Really? Just remember that when I beat you in arm wrestling next time." Everyone laughed while Natalie looked over at me.
"Harry? You want to come?" Did I really want to be around a bunch of love birds? I thought of saying no... but then I remembered Jenny. I better keep an eye on her.
"Sure, sounds like fun."
Jenny POV:
I'm glad I have a sister like her. I thought while cleaning up the hotel room. I mean, I wish I was going with Harry but... Zayn's cute too. I smiled.
"What are you smiling about over there?" asked Lani.
"Nothing, just excited about tonight."
"Excited to see Zayn?"
"Yeah, he's adorable. But you know I love Harry the most." I replied.
"Everyone does. His face is the one people think about when they don't know One Direction." she admitted, "That was me."
"Speaking of not knowing One Direction, have you started listening to them?" I asked.
"Yeah, a little. I like that song 'Little Things', though. If Niall... Or anybody every sang that to me, I think I would start bawling on the spot."
"Me too, I love that song." I responded, folding the clothes that Mom left on the floor. I wish someone would sing that to me...
We walked up the streets of London (yet again) with a couple of bags in our hands, heading to our hotel.
