Description
The next morning I woke up with my hair in a rats nest and my makeup all smeared because I forgot to take it off last night. I walked downstairs too lazy to fix it. Louis yelped when I walked in, I picked up a gossip magazine and wacked him in the head with it, but not before seeing my face on the cover. I sat down, munching on a granola bar, ignoring Louis (I was still mad about last night!) and reading. The cover had me on it with Harry, Dad and Mom and read 'One Direction (and family!) Visit America! Story on pg. 56' I flipped to page 56 and there were tons of pictures of last night. I looked at the one of me, Harry and Mom. The caption read 'The whole Styles Family! From left to right Harry, Stephanie, Anne and Steven.' The there was a picture of Harry and Clarissa 'New girl for Harry? Best friend of Stephanie, Clarissa, cuddles up to the pop star on the red carpet.' I giggled at the next one, it was me and Niall making goofy faces for the camera, 'Getting silly! Rumored couple Stephanie and Niall make goofy faces for the paparazzi!' Wait rumored couple? I scanned the article and finally found the bit 'Stephanie and Niall have been close for a while, and at the awards they were getting cozier, new couple? We'll see' I sighed and tossed the magazine out. Niall walked in, followed by Harry.
"Morning bedhead," Harry teased,
"Shut up curly," I stuck my tongue out. My phone buzzed with a text From: Rissa! Xxx. Message: Hey did you see the STAR! Magazine today??' She asked, I typed back a quick 'yeah, insane!' Then looked up at Harry,
"You know what I just thought about?" I asked, Harry looked up,
"No, Do I look like a mind reader?" He responded.
"You guys have been here for three weeks now; your month's almost up," Harry shook his head,
"Actuallyyy…we might be staying for two more months," He said,
"What?? You might stay 'til September?" I asked,
"Our manager wants us to pop over to London for a week; we'll discuss it with him then. They want us to become more affiliated with our American fans," He explained,
"Ah, I see, but won't that make British and other areas where there are fans angry?" I asked,
"Well of course we'll occasionally pop over there and other places to balance out the attention,"
"Ah, okay," I said, glancing quickly over at Niall and then outside, where it was pouring.
"Lovely day," I muttered, getting up and getting around. I decided to go downstairs to watch movies all day, Louis walked in as I was picking out a movie,
"See you fixed the rats nest," He joked, I didn't respond, "Are you mad at me?" Lou asked, I looked up at him, "You are, aren't you? Why what have I do-Oh.." He said as it hit him. "I interrupted your moment, and I was rude about it,"
"Yeah, Lou, it was kind of rude," I said,
"Well, I'm sorry"
"It's ok," I sighed,
"Niall really likes you, you know"
"Does he?"
"He never shuts up about you, sometimes I have to threaten to shove Harry's sock down his throat so he will!" I giggled,
"I really like him too," I told him,
"Then go tell him!" Louis said, grabbing the movie from my hands and pushed me up the stairs, I opened the door to the basement and Niall fell forward, he'd been listening. I turned a deep shade of red,
"Well," I mumbled as he stood, red in the face himself, "I guess you know now…" I looked at my feet.
"Um, yeah, Sorry I was eavesdropping…I heard my name and yeah," He mumbled, we stood there in silence for a minute, Niall broke it, "Steph, I-I like you too," He said, I looked up into his beautiful bright blue eyes, he leaned in and I met him halfway. This time there was no Louis's interrupting. Oh. My. God. I'm kissing Niall Horan! I thought. We finally broke apart and Louis came and tackled us
"Yay, yay, yay!" He said, hugging us both tightly.
"Lou! You're squishing me!" I giggled, he finally let us go.
"Sorry," He said, Liam and Harry walked by the door,
"What's going on here?" Harry asked
"Niall and Stephanie are dating!" Louis blurted, I wacked him.
"What!?" Liam and Harry asked, I blushed and nodded,
"Good for you mate," Liam said, Harry looked furious,
"You and I need to talk," He said to Niall,
"Harry…" I said, He glared at me, I'd never seen him like this,
"Don't worry, I can handle this," Niall whispered, heading after him. I looked at Lou,
"Sorry," he said, scrambling up the steps. I went to call Clarissa
