Niall's P.O.V.

I had gotten back in the car and afterwards, we quickly bought everyone Starbucks, even Paul bought one! I smiled at thinking of her remark and she using my full name. Now I knew hers, so we were even. As I pulled out my money from my pocket to pay, I felt something cold in my grasp instead. I pulled it out. It was her necklace! I had forgotten to give it back to her!!! Man, I'm such a klutz!!! What's she gonna think when I tell her? Well at least, there's my reason to see her again, after the having some coffee together. . .Would that count as a date? No. . .maybe. . .yes? I only felt the engraving of her name and smiled. I traced my fingers over the golden letters. Paul elbowed me, making me snap out of my trance. Well. . . her trance. Its just something about her that makes me just. . . soar. Her smile just made me melt. I put the locket back in my pocket and pulled out my money, paying for the 6 coffees. I even asked the cashier to write their names on each coffee so I knew who was who's. Now we were heading back to the hotel. I left my hand in my pocket. I kept holding the locket. With just one touch I had butterflies. Her lips are so soft. The feeling on my cheek made me want more. Uh oh! Her kiss on my cheek, just made me melt. I think I like her. I think I like her a lot. . . As I thought about my feelings, I heard Paul chuckling at me while I was in deep thought. When I looked at him, he instantly stopped. . . He continued driving focusing on the road and not at me daydreaming about my new "friend".

"Paul! What is so funny?" I asked slightly annoyed.

Paul responded in his calmest undermining tone, "Nothing. I just find it hilarious that she is so kind and nice and beautiful, no doubt, and she doesn't treat you like some super star, she treats you like a person. A regular, ordinary normal person."

I replied with a sigh, "But she's extraordinary. . .and beautiful. She has these big brown eyes that twinkle and her long straight hair. . .she's just so. . .so. . .She is so pretty and she doesn't even realise it."

Paul elbowed me and wiggled his eyebrows, "You like her don't you?"

I looked at the window. We passed over a bridge. The cars pass by, some blue, some red, some grey, and some white. I didn't really want to answer that question.

I scoffed, "No. . .I don't like her. We just met. We are complete strangers to each other, I only know her name. She has such a wonderful name. . "

Paul smirked, "Uh huh."

I acted pissed, "Paul! I told you that I don't like her! Geez. . ."

Paul didn't buy, not for a single second, I could tell by the expression of his face. He knew me well. He knew when I was lying and when I liked a girl. He knew what I was feeling. . .

Paul began saying loudly, "Someone has a crush and I'm not saying who, but it rhymes with you."

Paul couldn't stop being annoying. He even made a rhyme, wow, how creative. Note the sarcasm. I rolled my eyes. I avoided his cheery gaze. I wasn't going to admit to Paul that I liked a stranger, that's just crazy, but crazy has never stopped me before. What am I saying?

Paul said, "Did you get her number?"

I blushed, my face looking like the shade of the ripest tomato or even a strawberry! My cheeks were a crimson red. Could I be more obvious?!?!

I mumbled, "Maybe."

Paul said in an really high toned voice, "Did you?"

I said a little louder, "Yes."

Paul chuckled, "Knew it! Do you like her?"

I'm not gonna to say it. I will not go through this peer pressure. Sadly I responded without thinking.

I looked at him, "Yes. . .I do like her. Is it that noticeable? Don't tell the boys. They will eat me alive."

Paul began cracking up, "Its obvious. She didn't even notice when you blushed when she kissed your cheek."

I sighed, her kiss left a lingering trance that made me want more, is that bad? I mean, I just met her, but I feel like she is more than what she seems. I mean, I think, I don't know what to think! As I thought about her, I felt the car stop and come to a halt. Paul pushed the brake and I went forward. Paul gave me a look.

"So you really do like her?" Paul said questioning my feelings.

I nodded, "I do. I don't know why, but I just get that feeling, that feeling that I haven't had in a long time. Her touch is just so lingering, her kiss left me wanting more. I just have to see her again. I have to and I will. . . "

Paul furrowed his eyebrows, "Here we go again. . ."

I rolled my eyes as we pulled up in the back of the hotel. I held a cup holder of 4 coffee drinks, including mine, Harry's, Liam's, and Zayn's. Paul had his in his right hand and Louis's drink. We entered through the backdoor and took the elevator up to the 5th floor. Our suite was 236. I knocked the door and I was greeted by 4 worried yet thankful boys. Harry let us in.

"Mate! You are back! Finally. What took you so long?" Harry asked.

I replied casually, "I ran into complications, meaning the fangirl frenzy."

Liam came up behind Harry, "Oh, no wonder there are fangirls all over the front part of the hotel. So much for the peace and quiet, Niall."

I just handed him his coffee. Harry then took his from the cupholder.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I just wanted some fresh air and I ended up getting chased by a crowd of squealing girls." I said leaving Ruby out of this.

I saw Paul smirk, making Harry and Louis question if I was telling them everything that had happened. Harry looked at Paul and then at me. He tapped his foot. I kept my cool, or so I thought.

Zayn drank out of his coffee and then asked, "Are you sure that's what happened because you were gone for 3 hours?"

I exchanged looks with Paul, who just drank his coffee. I took a sip of my coffee.

"Yeah, that was . . it." I said, trying not to make it obvious I was in love with a total stranger.

I pulled out my phone, but instead of just pulling out my phone, the locket fell out with it. Gravity pulled it towards the wooden floor, catching everyone's attention. A metallic clank echoing to our ears.

Louis asked, "Niall what's that?"

I felt myself sweating and running out of excuses. Uh oh. I'm going down. This isn't gonna end good. Tio many questions.

"Um, it my mums. . .necklace." I said.

I looked at Paul, hoping he would back me up. Sadly, he didn't say a word. He was no help when you needed him. I picked the locket up and walked towards the window, not noticing Harry swiping the necklace out of my grasp.

Harry rose his eyebrow, "Your mum, wears a locket with the name Ruby on it."

The boys walked towards Harry, looking at the locket and then looking at me for an answer. I didn't want the locket to get dirty with their smearing fingerprints, so I snagged it from his hands. I kept in my hand and headed for my room, but Harry near me, beat me to it.

"Uh huh, you are not leaving until you tell us where you found this. Did you meet someone? What happened? Something tells me, that the fangirling frenzy you encountered isn't what you stated a few moments ago." Harry tapped his foot again.

I tried getting through, but Harry pushed me back. Zayn looked at Paul.

"Do you know something about this?" Zayn said as I nodded "no".

Paul sighed, "Why don't you ask himself? Nothing happened, right Niall. You didn't meet anyone, did you?"

Everyone faced me. Great, thanks for the help Paul. Louis came up behind me, putting an arm on my shoulder.

"You met someone didn't you? Oh, Niall. Was it a girl?" Louis said smirking.

I felt myself sweating even more now. I put the locket in my pocket again and held my phone, tightly. I gulped.

Liam chuckled, "Its a girl!"

I felt my cheeks were heating up, turning from my normal tone to a light pink.

Zayn smirked as he came up beside me, "Was her name by any chance Ruby?"

I looked to my feet, shuttering, "N-no. . .it wasn't a girl, it wasn't anybody. I told you, I didn't meet anyone."

Harry stood by Zayn putting his shoulder on Liam's shoulder, "Yup, that's her. She's a girl and her name is Ruby."

Now I was really red. If you haven't noticed, I'm not a really good liar.

Paul finally spoke, "Give him a chance to explain, guys. "

I glared at him. All the guys looked at me. Thanks for the back up, Paul!!

"What?" I said looking at my feet.

"We know it's a girl, Niall. . .come on, spill. We need to know. What does she look like?" Liam asked.

Harry asked, "Is she blonde, brunette, or a red head?"

I mentally face palmed, great now they aren't going to leave me alone. I sighed.

Louis then asked, "What happened, mate?"

Liam chuckled, "I think that Niall is in love. Our Niall, in love."

The guys began celebrating. Harry and Louis dancing around while Zayn and Liam winked at me. Paul only chuckled.

"Enough!!!" I said, annoyed.

They all quieted down.

"Ok, I met a girl. Her names Ruby. I bumped into her when I running away from the fangirls. There happy. . ." I finished sarcastically.

Paul replied, "That's not the whole story, Niall, don't lie. Does she need to address you by your full name again?"

The guys looked at Paul and then at me. Zayn and Liam had their mouthed opened. Louis just exchanged looks with Harry, from a shocked face to a smirk.

"No. She didn't." Zayn said, his voice excited.

I rolled my eyes.

Harry give me a pouty face, "Well. . .start at the begining."

I sighed, "Fine. I'll tell you guys what happened."

The guys just began squealing like little girls playing with Barbies. Real mature.

"Ok, so I was running away from the crowd of squealing and screaming fangirls behind me and since I was hungry I decided to run towards the coffee shop. The smell of coffee attracted me towards the place. So I lost the girls for a while, but I just didn't account for her, rushing through the door. So we both weren't looking and we bumped into each other, making me spill hot coffee and whip cream all over her shirt. So I took her with me from being showered with questions from the paps and the fangirls, just as a precaution."

Zayn added, "Sure just as a "precaution"."

I sighed, "May I continue?"

Harry sat beside me, "Continue, mate. This might be worth the attention."

I elbowed him, making Harry give me some space, "I didn't think I'd get attracted to her in the time that we were running for our lives in an alleyway in London, England away from fangirls. We we're chased by the screaming crowd for a while, they never seemed to stop. While we were alleyway, she told me that she was late for an audition so to make up for dragging her into this mess, I took her there. Well, I gave her my shirt so she wouldn't look bad for her audition, but she made the coffee stain look really good on her."

Harry's face brightened up when I said she changed. Harry tends to have a dirty head, so I quickly specified what I meant. Harry's expression quickly dimmed.

I quickly added, "No, I didn't see her change. . .I turned around, what, I was trying to be nice. She told me a little about herself and I forgot to give her this necklace back. Before she left for her audition, she well. . .sort of kissed my cheek. . ."

I paused there as the boys only blinked. They seemed shocked yet really proud and excited for me.

Harry smirked, "So you did do so much more than run for dear life away from a squealing girls huh mate?"

I blushed, looking away.

Liam asked, "What does she look like?"

I tried imagining her beautiful face again. It didn't work. . . I just began daydreaming again. Louis snapped his fingers quickly making me turn back to reality. I sighed as I thought of her beautiful face.

"She has long blackish brown hair with òmbre highlights at the ends of the hair. She has big hazel eyes that matches her big smile. Her laugh is just so amazing and she treats you like your just like everyone else. She cares about how people treat other people and she just gives me butterflies in my stomach with ever look. She just . . ." I was interrupted by Zayn.

"She gives you the hots, huh buddy!" Zayn said chuckling with Louis.

Paul smirked, "You should the picture he got of her for her contact information."

I looked at him, really Paul? Really? You decide to talk now, after all I went through explaining the situation to the boys.

Liam immediately stood up, "You got her number!!! Niall, you dog!"

I just blinked. I hoped she didn't see me as a dog. Please don't see me as a dog.

"I also promised her to buy her coffee because of the events today." I muttered, getting a squeal from Harry.

"There's your date!!! Niall, you work fast. Good for you! Can't wait to meet her!!" Harry exclaimed.

I nodded no, "Its not like that. We just met, so we are just acquaintance friends."

They all replied, "Uh huh."

I groaned as the guys began acting like little kids wanting a new toy or some candy.

The guys began begging and pleading, "We wanna see. Let us see her face!"

Louis smiled really big, "Where's your phone?"

Louis tried grabbing my phone, while Liam and Harry tried snagging it from my hands. Liam only stood back. He was always mellow.

"Ok fine." I gave in to their peer pressure again.

I pulled out my phone and found her contact info. Liam then snatched my phone. . .so much for being mellow.

"Ohh, she's very pretty." Liam said showing the boys her picture.

Harry said, "Do you think she'd like me?"

I fumed, "No!"

Paul added, "Someone's being possessive."

Louis chuckled, "She's hot!!! Not bad Horan, not bad. . . "

Zayn only whistled, "Love her smile!"

They all smirked and Zayn gave me my phone back. Uh oh. They are gonna do something, I can tell by the devious smile on their faces. I'm in trouble. . . .what have I done?

Ruby's P.O.V.

I ran in. I really hopped I would get this audition. I worked so hard for it!!! I'm not going down without a fight, unleash my inner star. I found the lady in charge standing by the stage. She was about to leave. . .I swiftly hustled towards her. She wore a grey jacket with a matching pencil skirt and a black shirt underneath. She was clearly the one in charge. She looked mean, the wrinkles on her face getting deeper with every expression she made on her face.

The lady rudely said in her British language, "I'm sorry Miss but your late and I do not give second chances. You will have to leave."

I stopped in my tracks, "Please."

I begged, "I tried to make it but the taxi driver dropped me off on the other side of town. I was lost and I didn't know where I was. I haven't even eaten. I couldn't even have my coffee because someone spilled it for me. Please I need this chance. I saved all my tuition for this!!! Please. I promise you wont be sorry."

The lady gave me a look. She rose her thin eyebrow up. With one look she could kill you or save you. In my case, I hope she saves me.

"How old are you?" She asked intrigued.

I replied catching my breath, "I'm 19, ma'am."

She sat back in her chair and crossed her leg on top of the other. What's happening?

"What convinces me that your a fighter and not a quitter?" She said swaying her blonde bangs out of her eyes.

Her eyes give you the worst feeling when she's interrogating you. I feel like those are dagger going to strike at any moment. Her words, knives or a wall, bringing pain or protection and a small light of hope. I crossed my fingers.

I replied, "I saved my tuition for 4 years just to get tuition and if you turn me down that tells me that I haven't worked hard enough. Some one memorable told me that the harder you work the more you make your dreams a reality. I'm going to try to live up to that saying. If you tell me no today, then I will do everything in my power to get better and better. I will work the sweat on my brow to make it ma'am."

She looked at me, "Please don't call me ma'am, it makes me feel old. Call me Mrs. Howard, but you may address me as Alicia."

"Yes, Mrs. Howard, I mean Alicia." I shuttered.

I'm panicking here. Am I doing good or am I crashing? Irr, kaboom, I go.

Her eyes softened, "You have 5 minutes to warm up. . . "

"Ruby. My name is Ruby Rodriguez." I said regretting interrupting her.

She could make or brake my career, don't embarrass yourself, genius, I recite myself insecurely.

My face instantly brightened up as I ran up to her and gave her a hug.

"Thank you!! You have no idea what this means to me!!!" I said letting go of her.

"Sweetie you have 5 minutes, do what you can. As you see my time is short and your is running on a thread." Alicia said.

I got up on the stage and took a deep breath. There was no time for a warm up. This is do or die. I'm going with just do it!!!! I stood on the stage as I said ready. She looked at me and nodded. Let's do this I said.

"What song are you going to sing?" Alicia said pulling her tablet out recording this.

I replied trying to sound confidently, "Little things by One Direction."

I took a deep breath and began. My mouth opened, my voice filling every corner of the room.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind, it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me...

I sing with all my soul. My heart is really in this. In that moment the world is nothing. I'm so focused that I wanted to make him proud. I wanted to make all this work pay off. . .

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I raise my voice. Letting my voice echo towards Alicia's ears.

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh, you still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but I want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

I've just let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you
Oh it's you
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things

I finish singing, but instead of a low note like Harry would do, but I sang the highest note I could possibly do. I finished the song, my fingers crossing. I hope I did well. . . .

Bam! What! I told ya it was a long chapter! So the boys know. What's gonna happen next!?!?!? I would tell you but I can't, sorry. . .
