Part Fourteen

Sophia’s POV

We woke up and all got dressed in to nice clothes- I wore a pretty little white summer dress. The other girls wore summer dresses too. I washed and curled my hair, the others did their hair special today too, we applied little make-up and I wore white ballet flats.

“Right, girls remember, when they call for us we ignore them, we talk to each other, not them, don’t give in, got it,” I said sternly.

“Yes ma’am,” They all saluted me and then there was a knock at the door. We all walked over and then nodded at each other before opening the door to five smiling boys.

“Right so we’re meeting the boys at the cinema?” I asked the girls; I could see the boys checking us out from the corner of my eye.

“Yeah, they’re going to be waiting for us outside, then they’re taking us to dinner,” Lauren smiled and we walked past the boys and headed to the stairs.

“Erm girls, we’re here,” Liam said from behind us.

“I can’t believe they asked us out, it’s been so long since we all went out and they’re treating us to dinner! It’s going to be great,” Mel grinned.

“I know right, I’m so excited, but nervous, the film is meant to be really scary,” Molly smiled.

“But Daniel Radcliffe is so hot!” Beth grinned.

“Girls!” Louis shouted but we continued to ignore them as they followed after us. We hopped in the car which was outside waiting for us all and us girls kept up a constant conversation about random things- mainly Stefan, Damon, Jordan, Dougie and Justin, just to make the boys feel jealous. Feeling evil. When we got to the cinema we walked to the front- and the boys pulled their hoods up and talked amongst themselves.

“Stefan!” I shouted and ran over to where he was standing in the entrance to the cinema. I threw my arms around his neck and he picked me up and spun me around. When he placed me back on my feet he kissed my forehead- this was not an unusual thing with Stefan and I, in fact, it was quite the opposite; every time we meet we did this, so it was really no different today.

The others walked over to us and Stefan wrapped his arm around my waist. It felt weird and I couldn’t help but wish it was Niall’s arm instead of Stefan’s. “Hey Stefan,” Beth hugged him quickly and then turned and hugged Dougie- making it last longer than usual.

“Justin,” Lauren giggled as he kissed her cheek, I just laughed at her with the rest of the girls- she was totally faking, but I don’t think Harry could see that, he looked fuming.

“Hey babe,” Damon smirked; god why was he always so cocky? Damon calls us all ‘babe’ so it wasn’t strange at all- but the boys didn’t know this. Damon wrapped his arm around Molly’s waist as she picked up conversation with him.

“Everyone ready?” Mel asked, with Jordan’s arm wrapped around her waist.

“Yeah, we already bought everyone’s tickets,” Jordan said and handed everyone a ticket, including Louis, Harry, Niall, Zayn and Liam- who looked ever so confused and sad. I couldn’t help but glance at Niall, although I wish I hadn’t. He looked so sad and confused as he watched me with Stefan.

“I need to go to the bathroom,” I said, looking Niall right in the eyes. God please let Niall take the hint. I made a quick prayer before walking away from the group.

“Yeah me too,” I heard Niall’s sweet voice behind me and I sighed in relief. Thanks God- I owe you one. I quickly pulled Niall in to the ladies bathroom and into a cubicle, then I locked the door behind us.

I stared into Niall’s beautiful blue eyes for a second and then I couldn’t resist anymore, his sad eyes were making me go weak. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He was shocked at first and then kissed me back, just as passionately. His arms wrapped around my waist I knew right at that moment I didn’t want to be anywhere else, and Niall Horan truly was the guy for me. The only guy for me. I loved him with all my heart and nothing would ever change that.

He pulled me closer to him but at the same time he pushed me back against the cubicle wall; all space between us disappeared. I smiled into the kiss as a moan escaped through Niall’s lips when I ran my hand through his hair.

“Traitor!” Someone shouted from above us. We both, very reluctantly, pulled away from each other, breathing hard, and looked up to see Beth and Lauren’s heads above the cubicle wall.

“Why?” I glared at them, “Why did you have to interrupt us now?!”

“Yeah, we were having fun,” Niall chuckled and threw an wink in my direction, causing me to blush.

“Too much fun,” Beth raised her eyebrows in a judging way, “We don’t want little kiddies running around!”

“And you didn’t stick to our plan!” Lauren shouted.

“What plan?” Niall frowned at me.

“It was meant to be revenge on you guys,” Beth glared at me.

“Yeah, we were meant to be making you all jealous, to teach you not to mess with us,” Lauren said.

“But Sophia couldn’t resist it obviously, and ruined it,” They both finished and glared playfully at me.

“Well you guys can carry on with your revenge, it’s not my fault if I can’t resist my gorgeous boyfriend,” I laughed and felt Niall wrap his arms around my waist.

“We will carry on, but just because you ruined the revenge on Niall doesn’t mean that you can stop this revenge now else it will give it away for everyone, so you get out of here and pretend that nothing ever happened in here and Sophia go back to Stefan and flirt,” Beth instructed me.

“Fine,” I sighed knowing not to argue with them, “Bye, try not to get jealous, you’re the only one for me.”

“Alright, I’ll try my best babe, bye,” He smiled and kissed me quickly before we all headed out of the bathroom.

“You okay?” Stefan asked me as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Yeah,” I smiled at him.

“Good, come on the others have already gone in,” He smiled and lead the way to our screen.

We walked in and I smiled at Niall as I sat next to Stefan with Beth at my other side, then I pulled out my phone and opened a new text message.

Love you :) x

I sent the message to Niall and then sat back in to my seat. A few seconds later Niall’s phone went off and he looked at the screen before looking over to me- he was grinning like mad. Then my phone went off, but I didn’t have chance to open it as Stefan took my phone from my hands.

“You’re phone needs to be off in a cinema,” He snapped. Maybe he did like me more than a friend. Oh hot damn.

I sighed and turned to Beth who was frowning at the screen. “What’s up?” I whispered.

“Louis’ kicking my chair, trying to get my attention,” She muttered.

“Excuse me,” Dougie turned around and we followed his action to see what he was going to say, “Would you kindly stop kicking my girlfriends chair?”

Louis’ face was a picture! He looked so shocked. Beth turned back around holding in her laugh as well as the others. I stayed turned around though, I felt so bad. Dougie wasn’t meant to say that! He was just meant to flirt with her. Now Louis looked as though he might cry!

Bad Dougie. So going to kick his ass for this.

‘Tell them,’ I mouthed to Niall who was sat next to Louis, he nodded and then I turned back round hearing the boys whispering behind us. When they stopped whispering I turned back around and they all sent me a reassuring smile.

‘Sorry,’ I mouthed and they all grinned back and Louis did the ‘okay’ symbol with his hand- you know the one where you put your thumb and index finger tips together? Yeah, that one.

“It’s starting,” Stefan said and I turned around.

The film was great! Daniel Radcliffe looked so hot. The girls and I screamed a lot through it and the boys were laughing at us. The only bad thing was that Stefan made ‘the move’ on me during the film, and I couldn’t stop him. I did try, honest, but he’s so damn strong! Eventually I had to give up fighting it. I was not comfortable at all, and I tried to get my phone back but Stefan wouldn’t give it to me. He’s so annoying sometimes, but I still love him- as a best guy friend of course. At the end of the movie we all left the cinema and went to dinner at Nando’s.

“So guys we have something to tell you,” Beth smirked at the boys.

“What? You going to tell us why you’ve been ignoring us all day?” Louis smiled happily.

“Can I just talk to you for a minute Sophia?” Stefan asked and I nodded, frowning slightly.

“Sure,” I stood up and followed him out, looking back at Niall before I went- he was watching me, so I quickly mouthed ‘love you’ before we walked round the corner and I saw him smile hugely before he disappeared out of my sight.

“Can I er, have my phone back now?” I asked.

“Oh, right sure,” Stefan smiled and handed it to me.

“So, what did you want to talk to me about?” I asked, shifting from one foot to the other.

“I really like you,” He started.

Oh damn. Really God? I totally do not owe you anymore! You just killed this nice bond we had going! Golly gosh! Some people!

“Look Stefan,” I took a deep breath, “Ilikeyoubutonlyasafriendsopleasedon’thatemebutthat’smyopinionandihaveaboyfriendthatiloveverymuchbutistillhaven’tfirguredouthowtotellhimandnowi’mramblingi’msorry! (I like you but only as a friend so please don’t hate me but that’s my opinion and I have a boyfriend that I love very much but I still haven’t figured out how to tell him and I’m rambling and I’m sorry)”

“Sophia please,” He leant forward but before he could kiss me I slapped him. I was shocked at my action too! I mean he was my friend! Well supposed to be my friend. In my defence he did try to kiss me and I have a boyfriend! “Well I didn’t expect that…” Stefan muttered and moved his jaw about.

“Sorry, but you were going to kiss me,” I blushed.

“You look cute when you blush,” He smiled and stroked my cheek.

“Stefan!” I hissed and stepped away from him.

“Sorry,” He sighed and I stormed back to the table angrily.

“We told them,” Mel glared at me.

“But apparently they already knew,” Molly raised an eyebrow at me.

“Yeah… about that…” I trailed off.

“Yeah, about that… care to explain why you ruined our plan?” Beth and Lauren said folding their arms and staring at me. Gosh, sometimes they act so much like twins.

“In my defence they looked really upset, you know how I get when people are upset!” I held up my hands in a defensive position and sat on Niall’s lap.

“There’s a chair there,” Liam pointed to the chair next to me.

“Very well spotted Watson,” I said in a posh Sherlock Holmes voice- which was pretty good, if I do say so myself- and everyone cracked up laughing.

“Where’s Stefan babe?” Damon asked me and I froze.

“Don’t know, don’t care,” I said angrily, glaring at the empty plate in front of me.

“Touchy…” Damon muttered.

“You okay?” Niall whispered in my ear once conversation had picked up again.

“I’m fine,” I smiled at him and kissed him as a distraction so he didn’t ask any more questions- which totally worked… score one for Sophia!

Dinner went swimmingly, and then Damon, Jordan, Dougie and Justin left to go home and the rest of us drove back to the hotel in a van. I jumped out the car and ran across the road to where a coffee stall was, before the others could even react. “Can I help you?” A lady smiled politely.

“One coffee please,” I smiled.

“Black?” She asked.

“Yes please,” I grinned.

“Here you go miss,” She smiled and handed me the coffee. I paid and walked back to the others, drinking my hot coffee as I crossed the road and back to them. They were standing by the car looking around in circles, as though they’d lost someone.

“Who you looking for?” I asked taking another gulp of coffee, feeling it burn my throat, but I didn’t care- it tasted so good!

“Sophia!” Lou cheered and I continued drinking happily.

“Where did you get that?” Harry asked pointing at my coffee. I just took another gulp whilst pointing to the coffee stall.

“Please tell me that’s not coffee,” Mel begged.

“No,” I shook my head and continued drinking.

“What is it then?” Molly asked.

“Black coffee,” I smiled broadly.

“No!” Beth screamed.

“Give me the coffee,” Lauren held out her hand.

“Now,” All the girls said sternly at me.

“My coffee!” I screamed at the top of my lungs and dodged the many hands that went to grab me as I ran as fast as I could into the hotel. I could hear them following me, so I quickly jumped in a lift and the last button. We were on the second floor but I’m going to the top! Yay! I sat on the floor by all the pretty buttons and drank my coffee, savouring the moment.

Niall’s POV

“We have to find her,” Mel said sounding panicked.

“Why? It’s only coffee,” Louis shrugged.

“You remember what she was like in the restaurant that time,” Beth said raising an eyebrow, but she couldn't really do it.

“Yes, she bought me all those carrots, what’s wrong with that?” Lou frowned and Beth ‘Gibb’s slapped’ him on the upside of his head.

“The time before that she dressed up as Batman and ran around the streets asking anyone if they’d see Robin, then she climbed up a tree and got stuck,” Molly said.

“Time before that she was missing for three days, we found her in the police station… locked in a cell because she’d stole coffee, they let her go and she did it again, so they kept her in until we came for her,” Lauren said.

“And the time before that-“ Mel started but Liam cut her off.

“We get it! Now let’s split up and try and find her,” Liam said and we all nodded.

“Liam and Zayn go together; Beth and Molly together; Harry and Mel together; and Louis, Lauren and me together; let’s go,” I organised us.

“Pfft, put none of us with our girlfriends,” Harry, Louis and Zayn and Liam moaned.

“Yes, because then you won’t be distracted and we’ll have a better chance of finding Sophia sooner,” I said and everyone nodded and we all ran off in different directions.

Sophia’s POV

The lift dinged for the top floor and I pressed the ground button again so I could go back down and get another coffee, I’d finished this one already; plus the lift is really fun! When the lift reached the ground floor again, I walked out and across the street to the coffee stall.

“Oh, hello, back so soon?” The lady smiled.

“Yes, can I have another coffee please?” I asked politely.

“Sure, same as before?” She asked, but had already started making it.

“Yes,” I grinned.

“Here you go,” She smiled and handed me the coffee, I thanked her and paid before heading back to the hotel.

“PUSSY!” I screamed as I saw a cat on the opposite side of the road, then I carried on my walk into the hotel.

I saw Niall, Louis and Lauren looking around the hotel lobby. I jumped and hid behind one of the bushes, the coffee held tightly in my hand, then I poked my head through the leaves and worked out my route to the lift. Once I’d worked that out, I dropped to the floor and began army crawling to the lift, making a bee-line around the obstacles- the obstacles being people. Silly people! Why do they have to get in my way? I was nearly to the lift when I heard people laughing behind me, I knew those laughs…

“If I can’t see you, you can’t see me!” I screamed, clutching my coffee tighter and army crawling as fast as I could to the lift. I hit my head on something hard and presumed that was the lift. I stood up carefully and began blindly hitting the wall looking for the button for the lift. I kept hitting it over and over, moving my hand around to find it, I finally found it and began pressing it, nothing happened so I hit it harder.

“Ouch!” The button screamed.

“Button’s don’t scream, so shush!” I shouted.

“I’m not a button!” The button objected.

“You obviously are! You’re the button that’s going to open the doors to the lift! So open the doors and let me in!” I screamed angrily.

“Sophia, open your eyes,” The button said and I heard Lou, Niall and Lauren laughing hysterically behind me.

“How do you know my name?! You’re a button!” I screamed.

“I’m not a button,” The button shouted back.

“Are too!” I shouted.

“Am not!” The button argued.

“Are too!” I shouted again.

“Am not!” The button shouted back, and we went like that for a while.

“Sophia open your eyes!” The button shouted.

“No because then they will see me and take my coffee away from me!” I cried and clutched the coffee to my chest.

“Sophia, open your eyes,” The button said and I heard the laughing get louder behind me as more people joined in.

“No!” I shouted, “I know I’ll use the stairs!”

“No! Not whilst you can’t see!” The button cried.

“Well, let me in the lift then Mr Button!” I shouted.

“I’m not a button!” The button shouted. I opened one eye slowly and saw Liam standing in front of me, looking very amused.

“Oh, hey Liam, what are you doing there? Where did the button go?” I asked looking around him.

“You thought I was the button,” Liam said.

“No I didn’t, don’t be silly, you’re not cool enough to be a button,” I shook my head laughing at his silliness.

“Sophia,” Liam said but I cut him off.

“Don’t take my coffee!” I screamed as he went to grab the coffee out of my hand.

“Give me the coffee,” Liam said sternly.

“Please don’t!” I cried.

“Sophia,” Liam said sternly holding his hand out.

“You’re a mean button!” I shouted at him.

“I’m not a button!” He shouted.

“I never said you were!” I shouted back.

“You just did!” He shouted back.

“No I didn’t! I’m not stupid I know the difference between you and a button!” I shouted.

“You just- I give up!” He shouted and walked off. I looked to the side of me and saw that Louis had been recording the whole thing on his phone, and then I turned around and saw everyone laughing at me, Niall and Lauren were laughing so much they were on the floor holding their sides and Lauren was snorting…

“What are you laughing at?” I asked pouting slightly, which made everyone laugh at me more.

“Lauren your snorting!” I giggled and then dropped to the floor so I was on my hands and knees and pretended to be a pig, crawling in circles and snorting loudly, causing everyone to laugh more. I then sat with my legs crossed and began singing, “Pepper pig!” I then I snorted really loudly and everyone was on the floor laughing, except Lou who was still filming.

“Where’s my coffee?” I gasped looking at my empty hands.

I looked up and saw Mel had just thrown it in the bin.

“No!” I screamed, holding the ‘o’ on for ages, “I’ll never let go Jack!” I quoted the Titanic. Once everyone stopped laughing and Lou stopped filming they dragged me upstairs and made me go to bed. Sigh.

“You know Niall,” I said looking at him from where I was lying in my bed, he was sitting next to me.

“What?” He smiled at me, stroking my cheek with his thumb.

“I had a great day,” I smiled and he smiled.

“Me too,” He grinned, “I’ll be back in a minute.”

“Okay, don’t miss me too much!” I shouted after him as he walked out the room laughing.

“Hey Beth! Hey Lauren!” I whisper-yelled, “He’s gone!” They ran over and sat on my bed, there was only the three of us in the room now, I quickly pulled my laptop out and handed it to Lauren who turned it on.

“You ready?” I asked and they nodded.

I turned to face Beth and we both held our noses as Lauren began smashing her face against the keys on the keyboard; whilst Beth and I began using our hand to move our noses. If you didn’t know what we were doing, we were spelling our names using our noses, and Lauren was trying to spell her name on Microsoft Word using her forehead.

“Sophia,” Niall shouted as he walked in with Lou and Harry, the three of them stopped as they saw us. Lauren was screaming about how she couldn’t do it.

“What are you doing?” Lou asked.

“We are trying to spell our names with our noses,” Beth and I said, still wriggling our noses with our hands.

“What about Lauren?” Harry asked.

“I’m trying to spell my name with my forehead,” She said before bashing her head against the keys again.

“Our girlfriends are…” The boys started, “… Amazing!”

They then ran over to us and sat on my bed, Lauren passed my laptop over to Harry who then tried to spell his name with his forehead, whilst Lou and Niall started spelling their names with their noses. After that eventful evening the boys went back to their room and we all went to bed.
