I sat in a local Starbucks sipping some coffee. I flipped through the pages of a magazine. One page caught my eye. "Niall Horan dates skiing drop out" I rolled my eyes. Really, skiing drop out. These people are so rude, and have no respect for anyone. I flipped the page over to another headline "Niall caught with another girl, will his friendship with Ailia end" I laughed a bit, the picture was Niall and Annabelle. Then another headline "Ailia stated she just wants the fame, twice". The first thing that came to my mind, bullshit. It's all bullshit.

My phone began to play 'Wonder Wall' by Oasis…it was Niall

"Hey babe" He said quickly on the phone

"Hey love, whats up"

"I talked to Simon about going public, he said to give it a go. We have an interview with E tomorrow, if thats okay with you"

"Uh, yeah. I just didn't think it would happen this fast..but its good. I can't wait"

"Me either" I heard Niall talk to Louis over the phone "Listen love, I have to go but I'll call you later..Good luck with Josh"

"Thanks, love you"

"Love you too"

I sat waiting Josh's arrival. I was suddenly nervous. I had no idea how this was going to go. Was he here to yell at me, was I going to yell at him. I had truly no idea. As the thoughts went wild in my head he walked in. He was wearing a pair of light wash jeans and a black fitted t-shirt. His silver cross chained necklace hung from his neck. He sat down across from me.

"Hi" He said letting all the air out of his lungs

"Hey" I said quickly

"Your not nervous are you? Ailia it's me" He flashed me a half smile

"Hey its been awhile" I said defensively

"I'm still the same Josh"

"We both may be the same but things aren't the same anymore"

"True. I guess this is where we let it all out" Josh said dramatically

I laughed "I guess so"

"Where do we start?"

"Well….Josh what happened after the boat house? It's like you acted like it never happened" I went right to the point

He paused thinking "I didn't want you to fall in love with me from a drunken moment. I felt like I took advantage of you."

"Josh if you think I'm going to believe that bullshit then you really forgot who I am"

He rolled his eyes "I was scared all right!" He yelled "I was so in love with you I was scared. I've been in love with you since Junior High Ailia. I knew you were going on the bigger and better things, I knew that if you weren't also tipsy, you wouldn't have kissed me"

"Josh you just you have been in love with me"

"I know"

"Josh.." I trailed off

"Ailia I'm not here to try and break you and Niall up, I'm glad your happy and I'll get over it."

"Josh I don't think you realize that if you didn't send me that text, we wouldn't be doing this right now."

"You don't I know that, trust me Ailia it's gone through my mind a couple times"

There was a long pause.

"Josh, I'm sorry this all happened"

He cut me off "You have to apologies for, I fucked up. Thats on me"

"But still"

"Look, I'm happy for you. I'm happy you finally have someone who loves you and will give anything for you. I truly am happy for you"

"Thanks"

Soon I left for home and Josh left as well. I felt okay about it the talk we had. I felt like there was a sense of closer. I was so relived that Josh was happy for me, even though I wasn't with him. He really was a great guy. Maybe things could go back to normal now

I sat nervously bouncing my leg. Make-up artist crowded my presence applying foundation and mascara. Niall came over and shooed away the artist.

"Your going to be just fine. I'll be doing most of the talking and I'll be there holding your hand the whole time"

I nodded and he gave me a quick kiss.

We sat next to each other on the small leather couch. Ryan Secrest sat across from us. Niall entwined his fingers in mine for support.

"So, from what I have heard through the many, many headlines. You two are getting to know each other. Is there any truth to that?"

"Yes Ryan actually, I, we, would like to announce that we are together. We are dating"

"Well congraduations. So how did you two meet" He said gesturing towards me

"Well, I'm actually good friends with Ed Sheeran and he got me a job at their studio where we met."

"Isn't that a great twist of fait. So, what does the band think of you?"

Niall stepped in "They love her, really. She's like a sister to them."

"Is this true" Ryan asked

"Oh yeah. Zayn has such great music taste, we listen to the same stuff and exchange music. Perrie is very lucky. Then Harry, he is quite the hot shot, he's played off as this big flirt but in reality he as a big heart and is a great guy. Louis, oh Louis he's so funny, he makes me laugh. It's great to have that guy friend where you can be a complete kid with. Liam is like my other older brother, he's very protective of the people in his life that he loves truly. I love them all so much. But obviously I love Niall differently. He makes me happy, it's crazy to think that I once didn't even know him when now I can't imagine a day without looking into his eyes and seeing his smile, hearing laugh. It's a crazy feeling" I said blushed and Niall kiss my cheak.

"That's sweet. Now you said you had a brother, what does he think of all this"

"Actually I don't talk to him as much as you would expect. He's training right now for the Olympics, he is also a skier. So his schedule is pretty tight."

"I've heard many stories about your skiing career, care to clear it up?"

"Sure, definitely. I went to a sports based boarding school all through junior and senior high. After I tenth grade I was recruited to train with the US ski team, while I was away I tore my ACL. The thing with young athletes is they do bounce back into their sports after injuries, but a full ACL reconstruction takes time. The chances of my coming back to skiing being the same as I was a year before is very slim not to mention missing a whole season. The US ski team didn't feel it was a safe bet to make. So i skied a year after that and did moderately well, but not superb. So I quit skiing and went back to my normal public school and graduated"

"So you did drop out"

"Yes, but not just for the hell of it, I dropped out because there was no reason for me to stay. Colleges weren't looking for a injured skier who lost a year, they look for who's going to make podium"

"I see. I have also heard that Niall has been seen with another girl" A picture of Niall and Annabelle flashed up on the screen causing me to laugh

"She's just a friend, trust me" Niall said

"She's my best friend from the states, we all went out one night and some pap caught a picture of them"

"Okay, well thank you for clearing things up. Good luck with everything and hope to meet with you both soon"

With that the interview was over and I left for Niall's flat. I spent the night with him, we didn't 'sleep together'. We both agreed that we didn't want to have sex before he left, we both wanted to make sure our relationship could last him leaving. I was so happy that he didn't rush me and he just wanted to be with me. The kissed we shared were more memorable and intimate then any night in bed.
