*Continued From Last Chapter*

Well this is embarrassing. I just stood up and realized my back was drenched in freezing water. Niall is now skating towards me and I look at him with a childish pout. He looked at me questoningly before he noticed the huge wet spot on my back, then he started laughing.

"Shayla, your back is soaked! I thought you knew how to stop!" He laughed at me. My pout changed into a smile and I started laughing with him.

"It's not funny, my back is cold now!" I giggled even more.

"Then why are you laughing, love?" He chuckled confused about my logic.

"Because your laugh is so cute, it's contagious!" I blurted out. Wait did I just say that outloud? I blush and look to my feet while he just laughed more. Great now he must think I'm socially awkward or something like that.

"You know your adorable when you blush, right?" he told me skating over and grabbing my hand. I didn't answer him, I just kept my gaze on the ground while I turned an even darker shade of red.

"Come'on, you must be cold. Let's get out of here." He said pulling me towards the exit on the rink. I nodded and followed along with him. I started to look at him for the first time on our date tonight. He's wearing a white fitted shirt with the usual black skinny jeans. His hair quiffed in the front and spiked in the back just like he always wears it. His eyes even a lighter shade of blue then normal and his cheeks a light shade of pink on his beautiful pale skin. He's perfect.

We we sit down on a bench by the shoe turn in and take off our skates and put on our real shoes. Niall takes bothe his and my shoes up to the table and turns them in. He then returns back over to the bench where I'm sitting.

"I know your back is wet and your probably cold, but do you maybe want to go get some ice cream?" He asked my hopefully. I gave him an assuring smile.

"Yeah, of course. I would love too." I said casually even though a million butterflies just erupted in my stomach. He wants to spend more time with me. He gave me a huge smile and took my small hand inside of his. I blushed and looked at him shyly. He was already staring at me, grinning because he knew what he had done. I stuck my tounge out at him and he put his other hand over his heart and acted hurt. I playfully pushed him with little force, mostly because I was only using one hand. He opened the door for me and we walked out into the cold breeze of LA air. I was hoping to see the cars and trees but instead all I saw was a crowd of photographers and screaming girls. Great.

"Shayla, just hold on to me. The limo is straight ahead." I nod and grip his hand tighter as he guided us through the jumble of people. I heard people murmuring questions about who I was and if I was his new girlfriend. Apparently people also heard him say my name so now they know my name is Shayla. Even greater. Once at the limo he struggled to open the door but managed to open it far enough the we could slip in. I let out a huge breath and rubbed my temples. I wasn't upset about the crowd of people, I'm use to that. I was upset about how my other life and how it's gonna be on the news in less then an hour.

"I'm sorry Shayla, I should of known they were gonna be here." Niall said guiltily rubbing the back of his neck. "I bet you'll never want to go out with me again. The paparazzi can be kinda... Rough." He whispered to himself sadly.

"Niall, I don't care what they make up. As long as both you and I know what they say isn't true, we'll be okay." I said with a sincere smile. He smiled back and grabbed my hand again, bringing it up to his soft lips and kissing it gently, all while he looked into my eyes. I could already feel myself swooning over how sweet he is. The limo pulled to a stop and I look around to see where we are. We are in the quiet part of downtown, stopped in front of one of the best cafes in LA. I've always wanted to come here! I smiled wildly and look over at Niall.

"I've always wanted to come here!" I told him excitedly. He laughed and opened the door for me. Of course there were paps outside. Just a few though they didn't ask any questions, just took pictures, as we walked in the cafe holding hands. We sat down in a booth near the back of he restaurant.

"I'm glad you came with me today, I have had a lot of fun with you."

"Oh please, my pleasure. I haven't had this much fun in a while." I flashed him a flirty look. He grinned.

"I actually haven't been on a date since... Since me and Demi broke up." He looked away frowning.

"Well then, that just makes me ten times happier to be here with you." I said cheekily. The waiter walked up with are drinks we had ordered and we then ordered some food. Being me and living the life of a half Popstar, I have to stick to my diet. Which unfortunately was a Caesar salad. Yum! Once we finished our lunch/dinner which during the time we had gotten to know each other, we went outside and said our goodbyes. When he started to lean in I was questioning what he was doing. A kiss on the lips or cheek? Which one is he doing? Instead of any of those he pulled my into a tight hug and kissed the corner of my mouth. I felt my cheeks heat up and I looked to the ground.

"Goodbye Shayla." He smirked knowing what he did.

"Bye Nialler." I replied. Yes I used his nickname. He told me if he could call me Shay I could call him Nialler. So of course I agreed. Who wouldn't! I hailed a taxi and made my way to the hotel I was staying in. I changed in the lobby bathroom into my wig and other cloths before making my way up to the room. When I walked in all the boys, including Niall, were sitting on the couch anxiously.

"Where were you?" Liam snapped at me with an intense and scary look on his face. I bet Niall told them about Shayla. Now they're for sure gonna think somethings up. Shit.
