Niall's POV

“We’ll see you later!” we said as we followed Paul towards the van. As soon as we hopped in the van Louis snapped at me: “So what do you think of her?” he was smirking.

“What do you mean her?” I questioned facing the older lad. “Esther Woods DUH” Louis snarled with a ‘DUH’ tone. “I don’t know” I smirked. What did I think of her? Well she seems nice, energetic; funny… she’s kind of my type if you ask me. “Do you like her?” Louis asked wiggling his eyebrows.

I chuckled.

“You like her!” Louis pointed at me. I just shrug my shoulders trying to hide my smile. I don’t know what’s this effect Esther Woods is giving me, but I’m sure I’m enjoying it. I just shrug my shoulder in response not knowing what to answer.

“Psh, get a girl Horan” Louis snorted. “What about you Liam?”

“Me?” Liam inquired. “You know, that Monica chick, what do you think of her?” Louis ranted. Why is he asking us this anyway? I mean, we all know that many artists have a crush on us, but it’s practically normal and we’re used to it.

“I think she’s cute” Liam smiled. “She’s attractive and cute and funny” his cheeks started to blush bright red. His mouth curled up into a grin, he was actually smiling with the thought of this girl. It’s been a long time since Liam smiled, you know, before him and Danielle broke up. He was really upset when she dumped him.

“So you like her?” Louis asked again. “Maybe?” Liam tilted his head with a smirk. “HA! YOU OWE ME 100 POUNDS STYLES!” Louis snapped pointing at Harry. They bet on this? Harry groaned giving Louis the money and said something under his breath. “Oh yeah, told you Liam will like her” Louis smirked in victory. He loves winning bets, especially when Harry’s his opponent.

“Louis” Liam cautioned. “It’s not like I’m into her or anything… it’s just, I just admire her ok?”

“Admiring is the same with liking someone” Louis bawled with his index finger pointing upwards.

“Whatever Louis” Liam muttered and looked outside the window with his palm on his cheek. Poor mate, he never moved on, Danielle had a serious effect on him. The rest of the ride was silent, nobody spoke, Louis and Zayn were texting their girlfriend while Harry was checking something on his phone, Liam was still staring out the window. Me, on the other hand had receive an odd text from Esther.

From: Esther

I don’t know where you are, but I will find you and I will kill you

To: Esther

Meep, I’m scared, please don’t kill me L I still want to eat!

From: Esther

Niall?! O_e omg I’m so sorry I sent the wrong person! Sorry sorry sorry sorry!!!

I chuckled; I didn’t think Esther Woods acts this way. I always thought she was the kind of the fierce, strong girl. Always defending her band mates when they receive hate, now she’s like a cute normal teenage girl who just wants to have fun with her youth.

To: Esther

Hahaha. Its ok babe ;) x to whom were you going to send that death threat anyway? He or she should fly off the country. ;) Kidding. X

From: Esther

It’s for Monica actually… we’re reenacting ‘Taken’ you know the movie where his daughter got kidnap and he goes like ‘I will kill you until I die’. It’s awesome! :D

To: Esther

Oh yeah I know that. So you’re playing the dad?

From: Esther

Yup, text you later! I gotta go save my daughter! Bye! X

To: Esther

See ya later babe. ;) x

Just when I finished texting Esther, we arrived at SYCO. We were asked to go to Simon’s office to talk about a tour with some band I think. We were walking through the hall as Louis sneaked beside me. “So, I saw you texting her” he whispered. “What? How can you if you’re in front of me” I demanded quirking an eyebrow at Louis.

“Okay then, but Zayn saw Esther’s name on your phone! Don’t deny it!” he implied.

“Ok, I was texting Esther, but so what?” I ranted.

Louis just gave a smirk and walked away, that boy is so weird. Arriving at Simon’s office, he asked us to sit down and mentioned Chance to us. You see Simon was the girl band’s mentor during their time in X Factor, they were really close. He told us once that Chance is like the girl version of One Direction.

“Boys! Sit down, this is just a quick announcement” Simon chirped. “I just want to congratulate you for the brits and your tour! And a few photo shoots were booked for you for the next week so keep up the good work!”

“Oh yeah, you’ve got a photo shoot for another cover after this” Paul reminded peeking at the door. “They’ll be on their way Paul, don’t worry” Simon smiled as he stood up followed by us. “Run along boys, don’t keep the cameras waiting” as he walked out. Well someone seems to be in a good mood.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We arrived at the photo shoot studio where we could see the Chance doing a photo shoot. Our manager’s must’ve booked one after the other that’s why we see the girls often today, like the interview; we were right next to the girls. 

“Faith must’ve brought you guys together” Louis quoted smirking at me. His face told me that I was in big trouble of being teased once the girls saw us. Looking over to the lasses, Esther really caught my eye, she had her blonde dyed hair perfectly curled down until her waist, her hazelnut brown eyes flickered, and she really looks beautiful.

She noticed me staring at her that made her look all awkward and stuff. Their photo shoot ended and they were about to leave until I unconsciously called her: “Esther wait!” Ok, I have no idea why I did that… I don’t even like her that way! Or maybe…?

“Hm?” she murmured taking a glance at me. I was lost of words at that time; I mean why the fuck did I call her? I can feel Louis laugh at me from behind and I can also tell the others were either. She was still waiting for my response until Liam spoke up for me. “He was wondering if you were free today.”

“Uh, yeah, why?” she replied tilting her head in confusion. I gave Liam ‘dafuq bro?!’ look. He just gave me ‘what am I supposed to do?’ look in return. I returned to Esther’s gaze who was still looking confused.

“I was just thinking…” I muttered. “Would… Would you like to go hang-out or something?...”

“Sure?” she repeated her actions from earlier. “I guess we’ll see you later” Monica muttered before leaving. I thought of something devious in payback for Liam screwing up in asking Esther. “Hey Monica, do you want to hang-out with Liam too?”

Liam also gave the look I gave him earlier and I did the same response he did. “Sure…” he cheeks started to burn bright red. She really likes Liam…

Esther’s POV

The moment Niall asked me to hang-out; sparks flew instantly inside my body. He wants to hang-out?!?! Holy CHICKEN! Omgggggg,gah… hyperventilation…. In out in out Esther!

I didn’t hear the conversation throughout because I was busy mentally fan girling, I glanced over to Liam who winked at me and wiggled his eyebrows. He still has a little bit of lipstick on his lips; I guess he didn’t do a great job on removing it.

That’s when I heard Niall speak “Hey Monica, do you want to hang-out with Liam too?” Liam gave him a ‘dafq bro?!’ look that made me chuckle a little. “Sure?” Monica replied blushing. “I guess we’ll see you guys later” Heather said before trailing off with Valerie.

“Would you mind waiting for us?” Niall tilted his head, it was adorableeee!! “Sure” I flashed him a smile and went to the dressing rooms with Monica to wait for them.
