Typical [L.P. + N.H. + A.I.]

Jess' POV

I woke up on the second to last day of my stay in LA to an empty cold bed. I reluctantly get up and look for Ashton everywhere in his house but nothing.

'Hey, babe. Where are you? You weren't supposed to go out today.'

'Hey! Sorry, something came up. Gonna be out all day. See you tonight. Bye'

Okay? That's weird. I don't feel like staying alone all day though. I try calling Niall. Although I probably shouldn't. The way I left things with him. I mean it's not like we haven't been texting, but he didn't mention anything about me slipping and saying "Love ya" And if Ash is right, this would do more damage than I intended to. But I also want to see him again before I go. I miss him.

Throughout my hesitation, staring at his name in the list of contacts, I end up accidentally calling him.

'Hello?'

'Hey! Niall!'

'Hi... What's up?'

'Are you busy right now?'

'No... taking a day off. Why?'

'I'm unexpectedly alone all day. I'm leaving in two days. I don't want to be alone. Come over?'

'Yeah, I don't know... I don't feel comfortable hanging with you alone in Ashton's house. I'd feel like he's watching us the entire time. But I can come pick you up?'

'Okay!'

'Great! I'll be there in less than 15 minutes!'

Niall's POV

I wait for her at the entrance of the house, and within 2 minutes she's here. One thing that I appreciate in Jess, she's never late. I never have to wait for longer than 3 minutes.

'Where do you wanna go?' I ask her.

'I'm actually starving. Literally just woke up! let's get some breakfast? Like doughnuts or whatever people eat here? Preferably something chocolaty!'

'Sure. Takeaways or dine in?'

'Takeaways! I look like a mess! My hair isn't done, I don't have any makeup on! And I'm cranky. I don't want to stay outside longer than I have to!'

'You're being ridiculous! Your hair is curly and awesome! And you look beautiful without any makeup!'

'Aww! You're so sweet!'

I drive around for a short time, park the car.

'You don't have to come with me. Stay in the car if you want.'

'Yeah right! Like I'm gonna let you pick my food for me! I know you, Horan! You'll pick something we both like and end up taking half of mine away!'

'Maybe! But I always get double! So technically, you're eating the same amount of food.'

'Yeah, but it's still you stealing my food away!'

'It's not like you try and stop me.' I laugh and she slightly and playfully shoves me while we make our way inside.

We get our breakfast, walk back to the car and then drive to my place.

'Sitting room, kitchen or backyard?'

'Hmm, I'd say backyard but the sun is strong today, wouldn't want you to burn!'

'Hey! Speak for yourself! You're just as prone to getting burnt as me! If not more! I've been here a while!'

'Fair enough. So sitting room? With the TV? Watch some golf?'

'You don't wanna watch golf!'

'No, I mean I don't mind but I'd rather not... Sorry!'
