The next day we woke up at seven thirty and I took the bathroom in our (my) bedroom, while Niall took the one in the guest bedroom. “So it turns out I can’t take you shopping tonight because my dad and Ann are going to some gala and I have to babysit Eddie, which means I’ll stay at the mansion tonight.” he told me while we stood in line at Starbucks. “But we can take him with us, he’s in love with you anyway.” he added and I smiled. “He is?” I asked and he nodded, putting his arm around my shoulder. “Who wouldn’t be?” I heard him mumble and my heart started beating faster. Did he just indirectly say he loved me? Oh my god We took our coffee and muffins to go because we were a bit late to Lit class and Niall wasn’t in the mood to face Mr. Grey when everyone’s eyes were on them. ***
