Chapter Fourteen

Hannah’s POV

“Riders in the 3’9 Junior Equitation class should be mounted and ready to enter the ring in five minutes.”

“That’s me!” I buckled up my helmet and tossed the reins over Dream’s head.

I felt arms wrap around my torso. I turned and saw Niall smiling at me with his ocean blue eyes that I found so easy to get lost in. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he leaned in, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. Once he let go, I put my foot in the stirrup and hoisted myself onto Dream’s back.

“Good luck, babe!” He stroked Dream’s shoulder, “I’ll be watching from over there,” he pointed to the arena fencing that he would be standing at.

“Okay! Thanks Ni.” I beamed down at him and then steered Dream in the direction of the other riders that were waiting to do their jumping course.

The wait wasn’t too long for me because I was one of the first riders over to the ring steward. He took down my number and I was the fifth one out of over thirty riders in my division to enter the arena.

The gate closed behind me and I nudged Dream into a trot. The announcers voice boomed over the loud speaker, “Rider number 913, Hannah Campbell on A Dream Aloud on course now.” I guided her into a large circle, and asked for the canter with my outside leg, which she went into without effort and we started our course. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6DT5nxNsm0&list=UUwl8evvRMSju6yRA-8oEc-w&index=19&feature=plcp)

Dream took the jumps very scopy and behaved very well. I was more than pleased with how the course turned out, it was probably one of my best. I couldn’t hide the smile that appeared on my face as I patted her on the neck. I left the arena and dismounted. Once I got the reins over her head I turned to see Niall coming up behind me.

“That was amazing!” he came in for a hug.

“Thanks!” I hugged him back.

“Oh my god, Hannah!” Kenzie ran over to me with Louis trailing behind. “I have never seen you two look so good, you are totally going to qualify for finals with that round.”

What I love about Kenzie is that she always makes me 10 times happier just by talking. We both jumped up and down, but then I remembered that I’m not quite done yet.

“I still have two more classes to do, but so far, it’s looking good!”

After two more hours, my division was finally over and they began to announce the placings. I had gotten two first place ribbons and a third. I also had gotten day-end champion. I hopped on Dream to go get my picture taken with my ribbons in the center of the arena. I waved Niall, Kenzie and Louis over and they ran over excitedly. One of the officials handed me my champion ribbon, which was so long it went past my boot, while another official strapped one around her neck. I was handed a blanket with the show name on it with “Day End Champion” written underneath. Niall, Kenz and Lou stood next to me and smiled as a photographer took our picture.

“I feel like a celebrity!” Louis squealed. We all turned and gave him a blank stare. “Whaaat?”

“Uh, buddie, we kinda are celebrities already…” Niall said sarcastically.

“Yeah but I feel like a famous racehorse trainer or something when they get pictures taken in the winner’s circle.”

“Lou, this is jumping, not racing” I stated.

“Oh okay, yeah. Just ruin this beautiful moment in my life for me. Yeah, that’s fine. Whatever” Louis jokingly pouted and turned away from us.

“Well, if its racing you want to see, you’ll have a grand ol’ time watching Kenz ride.” I replied.

“Why’s that?”

“Cause I show in jumpers which means whoever finishes the course fastest, with the fewest rails knocked down, wins.”

“It’s all about the speed!” we laughed together.

“And aren’t the fences higher?” Niall surprised us both with his knowledge.

“Yeah? How did you know that, Ni?” I asked genuinely confused.

“Well, I uh, may have been brushin’ up in my horse knowledge a bit,” he held up a brochure that contained the schedule of all the divisions for the day.

“You’re too cute,” I leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the lips and the photographer snapped another picture. “Okay, well I guess I should get back on for my victory lap, you guys can wait by the fence again.” Kenzie hoisted me back up into my saddle.

I hung my ribbon on the top of my boot and started my little victory lap, my ribbons flowing along with us.

We headed back to the barn afterwords, where I untacked Dream and put her in her stall for some well deserved rest. It was about one o’clock and we were all hungry, so we decided to go get some food. Everyone piled into my Toyota RAV4 and we left the fair grounds, looking for some place to eat.

“Where do you want to eat?” I asked everyone.

“Applebees.” Niall said right away.

“Applebees?” I asked him in a serious tone. I thought it was an odd choice.

“Yup!” He seemed happy with his choice.

“Well okay then, does Applebees sound good for everyo-”

“Yeah they want to eat there too.” Niall interrupted.

I laughed to myself and turned on the radio, JLS She Makes Me Wanna flowed through the speakers. We all sang along to it. The boys began to start doing some strange dance moves and Kenzie and I couldn’t help but have a good laugh.

We pulled into the restaurant shortly after and climbed out of the car.

“You know, we would have waited for you to change.” Louis told me, noticing me still in my show clothes with my helmet hair tied up in a bun.

“Lou, it’s a horse show ritual. You wouldn’t understand…” Kenzie teased him. He just rolled his eyes and scoffed sarcastically before taking her hand

“I think it’s cute.” Niall told me, slipping his hand in mine.

Once we got inside, we saw that the restaurant wasn’t very busy. We got a few weird glances from people, but I couldn’t tell if it was because of Louis and Niall, or my choice of clothing.

We ate our meal in peace, and the food was pretty good. Niall would know best though, because he ate a little of everyone’s.

“That was so good!” Niall exclaimed, patting his belly, “but I’m so stuffed.”

“Won’t eat so much next time then, huh there little porker?” I playfully poked him in the ribs.

“Oh he will.” Louis seemed to know best.

“Alright, how about we head out so Kenzie can get ready for her classes?”

We all grabbed our belongings and headed back out to the car.

Once we were back in the barn again, I helped tack up and brush Citrine while Kenzie put on the classic polo and sweater combo. I smiled to myself when I saw Louis helping her tuck all of her hair into her helmet, he truly is a good match for her.

“You two are so cute together.” Niall announced. Kenz blushed and began to put her tall boots on.

I swung her Pessoa saddle over Citrine’s back and held it in place with the girth. Citrine stood impatiently on the aisle, clearly he was excited for today’s show. I put on his bridle and handed him off to Kenz.

“He’s all ready.” She began to lead him out of the barn and to the warm-up arena.

“Will you give me a leg up?” She asked.

I intertwined my fingers together and she placed her foot in them. I counted to three before lifting her up onto the saddle.

“Good luck!” I told her as she began to walk off.

Chapter Thirteen

McKenzie’s POV

“What floors will we be stopping at today?” the hotel assistant asked Lou and I as we stepped into the elevator.

“The 15^th floor,” we both said simultaneously.

We looked at each other in surprise. “Aha what are the chances?” Lou beamed.

After the short ride in the elevator we both got out and walked down the long corridor to find our rooms. I pulled my room key out of my wristlet and flicked it back and forth in my hands.

“So would you mind if I got a ride back to the show with you?” Lou asked.

“Sure, if you’d like to come watch?”

“Of course I’m coming to watch you! After all, you came to my show,” he squeezed my hand and I blushed at how adorable he could be.

I sighed, “Ah, here’s my room. Which is yours?”

Louis walked across the hallway about 4 steps. “This one,” he laughed.

“Well would ya look at that,” I giggled. “We’re neighbors! How much time do you need to get ready?”

“Oh, only about 30 minutes or so.”

“Alrighty I’ll come get ya in forty-five.”

“Ok, see ya then babe,” he pecked me on the cheek and turned to his door.

I swiped my key and swung the door open and walked into a perfectly neat room, unlike how we left it last night. I sure loved room service. I pulled off my black dress and threw it on the floor before tying my hair up into a messy bun. I walked to my bathroom to wash my face clean of my makeup but just as I turned the sink on I heard a knock at the door. I quickly ran to the door because I only had 45 minutes to get ready and needed as much time as possible to get ready. I didn’t bother looking through peephole before swinging the door open.

“I-” he sighed and exhaled deeply. He stared longingly at me for a minute like he really wanted whatever he was looking at.

I looked at him confused, “Lou? What’s up, what are you doing here?”

He laughed. “I think the more important question is, where.. did your clothes go?” he asked with a crooked smirk.

I looked down. Oh. I took my dress off before going into the bathroom. I’m half naked right now. With the door wide open. With Louis Tomlinson in my doorway. Well this isn’t awkward or anything.

“Erm,” I looked back up at him and he looked sufficiently pleased with a smart little grin on his face. “Well, I was going to get in the shower any minute.”

“Right…” he said sarcastically. “I leave you alone for half a minute and you’re already running around nude!” he exclaimed jokingly. “Mine as well call you Harry from now on.”

“Very funny Tommo. So what did you come here for anyways?” I replied with a smirk.

“Well, I uh, I kinda lost my room key,” he gave me a sorry face.

“Now who looks like the foolish one?” I laughed. I left the front door open as I turned around and walked back into my room. “Alright, stop drooling and come get cleaned up,” I called over my shoulder at him. “There’s a second bathroom to right of the kitchen.” He followed me in and closed the door behind him.

Louis’ POV

I trailed behind Kenzie as she led me into her suite and I must say, it was a nice view.

“Do you mind if I shower?” I asked, peeking my head into the bathroom she had just disappeared into.

Her back was turned to me. “Go right ahead, there should be shampoo and soap on the vanity.” She splashed her face with water as she leaned over the sink.

“Ok, thanks love,” I caught a small smile creep across her face through the mirror as I called her love.

I texted my stylist Caroline and asked her to drop off some clothes for the day before hopping into the shower. After fifteen minutes I was showered and shaved. My hair looked a complete mess. Good enough. I walked into the living room with just a towel round my waist.

Kenzie was in her room rummaging through her suitcase. “Whatcha lookin’ for gorgeous?”

“I can’t find my belt!” she exclaimed in frustration.

“Uh, may it happen to be this one?” I picked up a brown leather belt off of the desk in her room.

“Yes,” she smiled and sighed. “I’m kind of a forgetful person. I lose things a lot,” she admitted.

“Well, you aren’t going to lose me,” I smiled and grabbed her by the face to pull her in for a quick kiss.

“I sure hope not,” she giggled. “Now where are your clothes!?” she cried.

“I was thinking of just going nude today. You don’t mind do you?”

“Oh sure, sure. That would be fine,” she joked. Someone knocked at the door.

“That must be Caroline now!” I shouted as I ran for the entryway.

I collected the clothes Caroline brought me and changed in the second bathroom. I wore a maroon t shirt, tan pants, and a grey beanie to cover my messy hair. Caroline knows me too well. Kenzie finished packing a small bag to bring with her and we left for the show. When we arrived we made our way through the show-grounds and found Niall with Hannah and her horse alongside the ring. I plopped down in the grass and patted my leg, offering Kenzie a seat on my lap. She willingly sat down and grabbed my hand.

Kenzie’s POV

A man’s voice boomed over the loudspeaker,“Riders in the 3’9 Junior Equitation class should be mounted and ready to enter the ring in five minutes.”

“That’s me!” Hannah squealed. She put her foot in the stirrup and hoisted herself into the saddle.

“Good luck babe,” Niall placed one hand on top of hers and pat her horse with the other. They were so damn cute together.

Lou surprised me as I was sitting in his lap by placing his chin gently over my shoulder. “They’re cute together huh?” he asked innocently.

“Yeah they really are,” I smiled sweetly.

Chapter Twelve

Hannah’s POV

Niall and I finished watching the fireworks out in the field with all the other people after we got off the ferris wheel. They went on for about a half hour and we just laid on the grass watching them, hand in hand. I felt so complete around him. We didn’t need to talk, just being next to each other was enough. The entire situation still didn’t feel real to me. I was often asking myself if certain things just happened and why I wasn’t freaking out about it. The reason I wasn’t was because Niall was just a genuine person to be around.

My mind began to drift as I watched the stars in the sky I began to think about the different planets out there and how we are just this one tiny planet, and I was just this one tiny human. I felt so unimportant compared to the universe, but it didn’t matter, cause I was happy with who I was.

Suddenly I felt eyes on me. I turned my head toward Niall and caught him looking at me. His face was full of passion and his eyes never left mine. Each time a firework went up to the sky, the light of it brightened his eyes.

Oh those eyes.

That was one of my favorite things about Niall, its a very pure and bright color of blue. They tell a story every time you look into them.

A small smile began to creep up on his face.

God, the way he made me melt.

I scooted over to him and he cradled me in his arms and I snuggled my head onto his shoulder. He lightly kissed my forehead and then pulled me closer to him. The moment was perfect. I could have stayed like that forever, but eventually the fireworks ended.

We walked back through the carnival, hand-in-hand, when a girl around the age of thirteen came up to Niall.

“Are you Niall from One Direction?!” She was the first to recognize him all night. I assumed it was because of the massive crowed of people and the beanie that hid most of his blonde locks.

Niall hesitated.

“No. We’re just friends.” I quickly answered for him. He look back at me with his mouth hanging open and a shocked expression on his face. He looked away and shook his head.

“Yeah she’s just my friend.”

“Oh.” Lexi paused, “Can I have a picture with you?” She handed me her phone and Niall willingly stood next to her and smiled.

“1-2-3” I said before taking the picture. It came out great, I’m sure it made Lexi’s life. I secretly wished that I had the power to make people that happy so easily.

“Thank you! Nice meeting you Niall.” Lexi took her phone from me and walked back into the crowd of people.

He turned to me just as the loud speaker cracked. “The carnival is now closing. Thank you for coming and have a wonderful rest of the night.”

“I guess we should go find Kenz and Lou. I think Kenz said they were coming to the carnival,” I took my phone out and dialed Kenzie’s number while Niall hugged me from behind, resting his chin over my shoulder. It rang and rang but she never picked up. So I sent her a quick text saying that we were heading back to the hotels.

“Do you want me to call a driver?” Niall asked me as he rocked me back in forth in his arms.

“No my cars here, do you want me to drop you off?”

“Umm… I’m not really sure if I trust your driving, but I’ll give it a go.”

It was a short ride because his hotel was literally a mile away from the fair grounds.

“I’m still coming to watch you ride tomorrow, right?” He spoke while unbuckling the seat belt.

“Of course! It will probably be around noon. I’ll text you.”

“Okay.” He replied and gave me a quick peck on the lips before jumping out of the car. “I will see you tomorrow,” he began to walk away.

“Niall wait!” I yelled out the window. He quickly turned around and stuck his head through the car window and rested his arms on the door. “Thank you for tonight.”

A playful smile creeped up on his lips. “Anytime babe,” and with a wink he was gone.

Kenzie’s POV

Rrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrr…

“Uhhhh” I moaned and snuggled my face farther into Louis’ torso.

Rrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrr…

God, what was that noise anyways?

Louis wrapped his arms tighter around me. He was so warm.

Suddenly, there was an alarming noise. A horse was whinnying down below.

Holy shit.

I sprang out of Louis’ arms in an instant. “Oh my god, we fell asleep in the loft.” I whispered as I rubbed my forehead. Louis was still peacefully sleeping away on the floor.

Rrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrr…

My phone!

I pushed my hand through the hay covering the floor of the loft, desperately searching for my phone.

“Incoming Call: Hannah”

I quickly answered her call. “Hey Hann-”

“OH MY GOD. FINALLY. Where are you!? We’re showing in two hours and I haven’t seen you since the concert! For all I know you could have been dead!”

“I’m sorry, Hannah. I really didn’t mean to do this to you, it’s just that Lou and I fell asleep together and my phone was on vibrate…” I tried explaining as I attempted to fix my hair and straighten out my dress, picking hay off of myself.

Her tone changed instantly, “You.. fell asleep? With Lou?” she almost whispered it, like it was some big piece of gossip she didn’t want anyone to hear.

“Y-yeah,” I stuttered in confusion. “Ohhh! Oh no! We didn’t…. you know.. No. We just fell asleep after the fireworks in the hayloft.”

“Oh,” she replied. She sounded disappointed.

“Listen, I’m gonna go back to the hotel and shower and I will be to the barn ASAP, I promise!”

“Okay, I’m out by the ring with Frank. You can take my car it’s in the parking lot right outside the barn. Oh, and Favio already braided Citrine so you don’t need to hurry too much.”

“Okay, thanks. See you soon.” I hung up.

“Lou,” I knelt down and nudged his shoulder. “Lou, wake up. Lou, it’s ten. We fell asleep in the loft,” he inhaled deeply and groaned. I gave him quick kiss on the cheek, “C’mon sleepy head you need to get up the boys are probably freaking out right now.” He batted his eyes a few times and suddenly came to life.

“Oh, oh god. Did we fall asleep up here?” he stood up slowly and rubbed his neck.

“Sure did! And I’m late, and you’re probably in big trouble, so let’s go!” I grabbed his hand and charged towards the ladder. Louis stumbled behind me as he pulled out his phone.

“Oh shit! I think I am in big trouble,” he said pointing his phone towards me. He had loads of missed calls and texts. “I better call my driver.”

“No need, I’m heading to my hotel right now I can drop you off at yours on the way.”

“Erm, okay. We’re staying at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. It’s only a few minutes away.”

I laughed, “Yeah, I know where that is… that’s where we’re staying too.”

Chapter Eleven

Louis’ POV

Kenzie and I talked for almost an hour straight. No kissing, no jokingly making dirty comments. Just talking. Her hand rested in mine as I learned more and more about her fascinating life. The more she told me about herself, the harder I fell. Now our relationship, which I’m not sure what kind of relationship it was just yet, was more than just lust. I felt like I had known her forever.

She told me of the time when she was four and she tried to cut her own hair, so her mum had to chop it all off into a bob because she butchered it so badly. And when she was seven she was trying to cut an orange peel with a knife, but the orange rolled out from under her and she had to get four stitches on her index finger. Once when she was in year six, she won a photography contest for the local newspaper and they published a picture she had taken of a horse at her barn in the wintertime.

I told her how when I was seven I broke my arm when I fell from a folding chair after trying to view a Kit-Kat hot air balloon, and re-broke it again a few years later playing football. When I asked her if she had broken any bones she informed me that she broke her tailbone in year three after falling from her pony, and then again, in year seven, she fell from a friend’s horse and broke her leg a week before summer vacation. Her doctor equipped her with a hot pink knee-high cast so she couldn’t swim all through the hot summer months. She said it was torture.

I realized how much horses were a part of her life and reasoned that horses are to her, as music is to me. I liked the fact that even though our interests were completely different, they both equally consumed our lives. It felt nice be with someone who knows that my career is sometimes going to have to be the number one priority in my life, and she was okay with that.

I admired her every feature, every movement, every word she said. She pushed her silky, long dark hair behind her back and Ed Sheeran’s song ‘Wake Me Up’ instantly popped into my head. I thought of how badly I wanted to write a song about her, like his.

And you should never cut your hair, cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder.

And you will never know, just how beautiful you are to me.

I wanted to kiss her, to hold her in my arms and call her mine. Was I crazy? I had only met her a day ago, but I’ve never felt this way about anyone ever before. I didn’t want to the night to end. I wanted to sit here with her hand in mine and talk about everything under the sun together, forever. I gazed at her intently as she stared out at the bustle of the carnival below us in silence.

As if she read my mind, she stopped and turned to me. She looked straight into my eyes and I felt her grip on my hand increase slightly. I squeezed her hand back and leaned in close to her. I inhaled her scent and she smelt of fresh flowers and berries. I could never forget her eyes. They were the most beautiful I’d ever seen, a vibrant green with little flecks of gold in them. She stared back at me and did exactly what I wanted her to do.

I felt her rest her head gently on my chest. She was warm and soft, and more than anything, I felt comfortable with her. Everything came so naturally when I was with her and I loved that more than anything.

She was silent as I looked down at her. I brushed my thumb across her cheek and she smiled shyly and closed her eyes as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Kenzie,” I spoke in a whisper.

“Mmmm, what is it Lou?” she replied, eyes still closed and a smile still placed on her face.

“I don’t want to leave…” I whispered. I felt the smile disappear from her face. “Can I ask you something?” I twirled the ends of her hair in my fingers.

“Anything,” she murmured.

You could still hear the faint sound of the carnival beyond us.

“Can I sing you a song?” I asked and she turned to face me again.

“Of course, I’d love that.” She smiled supportively at me and out of nowhere, my stomach turned with nerves.

“Good.”

She picked her head up off my chest and rested her hands in my lap.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL21CUOVCDY

If I don’t say this now I will surely break
As I’m leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

I felt a lump grow in my chest and I wished everything didn’t have to be so complicated. Why couldn’t I be a normal teen? Why couldn’t we live on the same continent?

Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after you

She had the biggest smiled plastered on her face. It was a smile that made me forget everything. I continued to sing as I approached one of the last verses.

It’s always have and never hold
You’ve begun to feel like home
What’s mine is yours to leave or take
What’s mine is yours to make your own

I ran my hand down her shoulder and held her arm as I sang the last chorus.

Oh, oh

Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after you

I sighed deeply and looked down as I dropped my hands into my lap. I raised my eyes to see her reaction. The corners of her eyes brimmed with tears, ready to spill over. I grabbed her hands and she said nothing, just smiled gently.

“Kenzie, I know we’ve only just met yesterday, but I feel like I’ve known you forever. My whole life, I’ve always followed my gut instinct. It led me to where I am today…” I trailed off. I regained my thoughts for a moment and tried to compose myself again.

“Babe, will you be my girl?” she said nothing. She brushed a tear from her eye and I felt my heart sink for a moment, what if she doesn’t want this to be a real relationship like I do?

Before I had time to even second guess myself for another second, she grabbed me by the face with both hands and kissed me on the lips. I held her by the waist as we sat between the hay bales. She pulled away and rested her forehead on mine. Her thumb brushed across my cheek and it sent chills down my spine.

“I’m thinking that y—” she quickly pressed her fingers to my lips and hushed me.

“Lou, there is nothing I would like more in the world, than to be with you.” a smile crept across my face and I pulled her down on top of me as I layed down onto the hay-covered floor. I kissed her neck as she straddled my torso. She made me feel so complete, so alive, so perfect.

She pressed her chest against mine and leaned in close to my ear, her hair tickled the side of my face. “Can we stay here… like this.. forever?”

I wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her in so she was completely laying on top of me, her head rested on my chest again.

“Whatever you’d like, babe.” I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth of her body against mine as I felt her chest rise and fall with each breath. Soon we both drifted off into a deep, deep, sleep.

Chapter Ten

Hannah’s POV

I made my way over to the ticket booth that I would be meeting Niall at, dodging people on my way. This time of night must be when the carnival was most busy. There were kids running around with big wads of colorful cotton candy on sticks and groups of teens with stuffed animals that they must have won on some of the games. I sat down on a bench a few feet away from the booth and waited for Niall. I couldn’t find him through the crowed of people so I figured I would just wait. He would probably text me when he got here. I got out my phone to check to see if he had texted me, just as I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around, but no one was there. I then heard a very recognizable laugh on the other side of me.

“Niall.” I whispered, an immediate smile spreading across my face at the sight of him. He was giggling at the little trick he just pulled on me, looking as adorable as ever. He had on a maroon cable knitted beanie that hid most of his blonde hair and a white Ramones t-shirt with dark jeans. I got up and he pulled me in for a hug.

“You look so beautiful tonight.” He told me as he rested his hands on my lower back.

I blushed before replying with a simple “Thanks.” I was always perplexed whenever I got compliments, I never really knew what to do, I felt weird.

He tilted my chin up with is hand and chuckled. “What?” He obviously sensed my awkwardness.

I looked down to the ground and he let go of me. “Sorry, it’s uhh, nothing. It’s just that no one has ever told me that before.” I looked up at him and his blue eyes seemed understanding. I had never had a real boyfriend before and I wasn’t exactly used to compliments.

“Hannah, you have no idea how beautiful you are.”

I embraced him for a hug, wrapping my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. “Thanks, Niall.” He responded by pulling me closer and gently placing a kiss on a spot behind my ear. I wanted this moment to last forever. I felt so safe in his arms every time he hugged me.

He loosened his grip and suddenly a goofy grin appeared on his face. I gave him a confused look and he reached behind himself and pulled out two wrist bands. “I got this for you!” He began to fasten the band around my hand. “Now can we please go on the cliffhanger!?” I couldn’t help but laugh at him, he was practically whining, he was such a little kid, but I liked that about him.

I smirked at him and yelled “Lets go!” before I grabbed his hand and ran toward the ride, maneuvering through the crowd as best as I could.

I heard him laughing behind me as his hand clutched to mine desperately for guidance. We got into the line just as the attendants were letting more people on the ride. Niall and I flashed our bracelets at them and made our way to an empty spot. He started to climb on and laid on his belly then realized I wasn’t joining him.

“Are you coming?” He looked confused and started to get off.

I nervously bit on my lip, “I’m scared of heights…”

He walked over to me and grabbed my hand. “It will be okay, just hold my hand.”

Niall knew just what I wanted and I willingly joined him on the ride. Our hands clasped tight as we laid next to each other in anticipation for the ride to start. Suddenly it jolted and we started to rise off the ground. Niall looked over at me, “You okay?”

“Yup!” I gave him a confident grin.

The ride started to go around in a circle, gaining speed and starting to tilt. After about a minute it reached full speed and it felt like we were flying through the air, hand in hand.

Niall put his arms over his head, imitating superman. “It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Niall Horan!” he yelled as the ride brought us up. I was dying of hysterics, he was such a goofball.

“You know, you’re pretty calm for being afraid of heights.”

“That’s cause I’m not.” I said proudly, avoiding his eye contact.

“I’m confused, why did you tell me that you were?” He had a confused expression on his face.

“If I didn’t act like that then I wouldn’t be able to do this.” I held up my hand that was locked with his.

“Cheeky, I like it,” he smiled at me and squeezed my hand.

Niall and I went on almost every ride and we eventually moved on to the games, and I have to admit, he’s horrible at them. I watched as he tried to knock down cups by throwing baseballs at them, pop balloons with darts, and shoot out a star with a BB gun. It was completely agonizing watch, I felt bad for him, but when you almost hit the attendant in the head with a ball, you should probably stop.

“I can’t believe how bad I am at these things!” He pulled on his hair as we walked away from a basketball game.

“Ni, it’s okay! Half of these things are rigged so you don’t win.” I tried to reassure him.

“I just wanted to win you a stuffed animal…” He looked at the ground and kicked a rock down the pavement.

“Niall, seriously it’s okay!” I laughed, I didn’t want him so upset. “I’ve got plenty of stuffed animals at home and it’s not like you can’t find them anywhere else.”

“I know, it’s just… Oh my god, come with me!” He took my hand and dragged me toward the fast pitch baseball game.

“I really don’t think this one is for you, I mean, you almost hit the attendant last time you messed with baseballs.”

“No no no. Not that, this!” He pointed to the soccer game that indicates the how many miles an hour you kick the ball.

“Soccer?” I knew from watching videos of the boys on youtube that Louis and Niall were good at it. I remember seeing Niall bouncing the ball from one knee to another in one of their video diaries.

“It’s called football actually.” Niall had a very stern look on is face then smiled at me after a few seconds letting me know that he was only kidding and he wasn’t really being an ass.

I shook my head at him. “Go for it.”

He looked like a little kid on Christmas morning as he went up to pay. The guy handed him three soccer balls and Niall set them down on the line. He stepped back and then lurched forward, kicking the ball with full force. It hit the net and the speedometer read that he hit it at 54 miles an hour, breaking the daily record that was 49 miles an hour.

“I don’t need the other two balls I guess.” I giggled at his cute cockiness.

As the attendant told him to pick out any stuffed animal, he waved me over. “Which one do you want babe?”

“Umm…” I looked at the rows of different types of animals as Niall rested his arm across my shoulders. “How about the teddy bear with the blue bow?”

The guy handed the bear to me and I looked up to Niall who was smiling down at me. “Thanks Niall,” I gave him a quick hug.

“Anything for you!” he tapped me on the nose. “What do you want to do now?”

“Lets go on the Ferris Wheel!”

“Okay.” He intertwined his fingers with mine and led the way.

Their weren’t many people around because most of them were out in the field about to watch the fireworks so we were able to get right on. The sky was dark and clear, the stars shown through and you could easily identify the big dipper and Orion’s belt. He held my hand as we stepped onto the platform and once we were seated he pulled me close to his chest.

“You know, I’m really glad I met you.” His blue eyes were piercing.

“I’m glad I was lucky enough just to even talk to you!”

The wheel turned so we were about half way up. The florescent lights we the only things that allowed us to see in the darkness. I starred at him as we smiled at each other. Suddenly a big boom went off, enough to scare me. Niall quickly held me close to comfort me.

“Easy! It’s just the fireworks.” He giggled halfheartedly at me.

“That scared me!”

I watched as they shot up and luminated the sky in different colors. It was an amazing night and I couldn’t be happier to be spending it with Niall. I loved how he didn’t even act like he was famous, hes still just a quirky teenager. We were now at the very top and the view was amazing. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at this moment. I felt Niall’s eyes on me so I turned to look at him.

“Like I said earlier, you have no idea how beautiful you are.” He starred into my eyes and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. I, again, started blushing and looked down. He took his hand and cupped my cheek, tilting my head and meeting my eyes again. “There is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.” His thumb glided across my cheek, I knew exactly what he ment. I willingly wrapped my arms around his neck and not long after, two soft lips met mine. One of his hands rested on my back while the other was on my cheek. His lips slowly began to move with mine and I began to run my fingers through his hair. He responded by running his tongue on my bottom lip, I granted him access. His hand ran up down my back and his other moved from my cheek and joined it as he pulled me closer to him.

We were brought back to reality when the wheel jolted forward and we began to descend back down. We smiled at each other, acknowledging the moment we just shared. I rested my head on his chest and sighed.

“You’re amazing, Niall,” I spoke.

“I really like you, Hannah.”

I sat up and met his eyes, “I really like you too.” I then pecked him on the lips.

Chapter Nine

McKenzie’s POV

Hannah and I pulled up to the stable parking lot fifteen minutes later. She hadn’t stopped texting Niall the entire time.

“Alright, well Niall wants me to meet him by the ticket booth so I’ll catch up with you later tonight,” she gushed.

“Okay sounds good, hope you have an amazing night at the carnival!” I hugged her tightly.

“I could spend a night in jail with Niall and it would be amazing.” We both laughed and Hannah started to make her way towards the fair grounds.

I checked my reflection in the car window and fixed my dress. I wanted to make sure I looked decent before entering the barn, even though Louis probably wasn’t even here yet. I decided I wasn’t gonna look any better so I made my way into the barn. It was dimly lit because only the sconces on the wall were lighting up the barn and not the harsh overhead lights. As I strolled through the barn my heels clicked loudly on the brick aisle-way. I looked down at my phone as I approached Citrine’s stall. Still no texts from Lou since we were in the parking lot. The clock read 10:17 and I wondered when Louis would arrive.

I walked into the tack room next to Citrine’s stall and grabbed two flakes of hay for Dream and two for Citrine. I fed Dream and when I went to open Citrine’s stall, the latch was already undone. I looked up from the door and jumped back in shock.

“Louis! What are you doing in there!?” I dropped the hay on the ground and placed my hand over my heart. Louis was casually leaning on the stall wall feeding Citrine a carrot.

He came rushing out of the stall and wrapped his hand around my waist. “Sorry babe! I didn’t mean to startle you.” He said sincerely.

“Oh no, its fine, its just, I didn’t expect you to be here already. And I especially didn’t expect you to be in my horse’s stall…” I trailed off.

“Well, he was just so cute, and I found a bag of carrots in your equipment room and I wanted to feed him,” he looked at me all innocently.

“Oh so you not only like girls who eat carrots, but now you like horses who eat carrots too?” I asked jokingly.

“Yes. And I do really like you so I hope you like to eat carrots as well.” He lifted a carrot to my mouth and I took a bite out of it.

“Of course I like carrots,” I smiled and we both laughed.

He knelt down to pick up the hay I had dropped and paused for a moment and looked up at me. “You know, there’s something I really want to tell you right now…”

“What is it?” I asked with full attention.

“I can totally see up your dress from this angle and I wanted you to know that I think you look hot in cheetah print underwear.”

“Lou!” I gasped and laughed while I playfully hit him upside the head as he stood up. “You’re lucky I know you’re a funny guy or I might have hit you for real!” I joked and draped my arms on his shoulders around the back of his neck.

He leaned in temptingly close to the side of my face and whispered, “But I think you’d look better with none,” as he grazed his lips across my cheek.

“Try again Boobear. You’re not getting’ in these cheetah print panties anytime tonight.”

“Even after I serenaded you?”

“Well, I guess that does deserve a little something…” I leaned in slowly and kissed him lightly on the lips. He responded by moving his hands from my waist down to my butt and instantly making the kiss more passionate.

We made out for a few minutes before it started getting extremely heated and I pulled back. He looked me in the eyes. He looked confused and was begging for more.

“Calm down Tomlinson, there’s more where that came from. But first I wanna bring you somewhere,”

“Should I call my driver?” he asked.

“No, its really close. But first let me take off these damned heels.” I laughed as I pulled them off and through them into the tack room. I was instantly three or four inches shorter. Even when I was wearing them, Lou was still much taller and he had to bend down slightly when we kissed.

“Ok, follow me!” I grabbed his hand and started running towards the end of the barn.

When we reached the back of the barn, I led Louis into a small side aisle-way with a ladder at the end of it. “Alright, let’s go.” I said as I started to climb up it, into the darkness.

“I don’t know if I should trust you….” Louis said cautiously.

“Oh come on, don’t be a scaredy-cat!” I teased, already a third of the way up the ladder.

“Actually, its not a bad view from down here, I guess I can follow you up.” he agreed. “You and your cheetah panties,” he whispered under his breath.

“I heard that.” I yelled down to him.

“I haven’t the slightest clue what you’re talking about,” he replied sarcastically.

Once I got to the top of the ladder I climbed off onto the floor surrounding it and gave Louis my hand and helped him up as well. It was pitch black and the hay that was messily sprawled all across the floor poked into my bare feet.

“Are we in the hay loft?” Louis asked surprised.

“Sure are. Bet the big popstar isn’t used to gettin’ a little dirty, huh?” I was still holding his hand, leading him through the darkness.

“No, no. Of course I can get dirty! Its just I don’t know why we’re up here its all dark and—” he stopped mid-sentence. “Ohhhhhhh.. I get it now….” he said seductively.

“Louis! No! We’re not having sex.” I laughed at the way a boy’s mind was always thinking of one thing.

“Oh. Well then what are we doing up here?”

“Hold on.” I stopped walking and ran my hand across the wall looking for the latch until I found it. I unhinged it and started pushing a sliding door open. As the door opened wider and wider, it revealed more and more of the beautiful sight of the carnival happening down below. The ferris-wheel flashed brightly as it spun around and you could hear the faint screams of little girls on the amusement rides. Beyond the carnival was a city that ran along the river. It was a beautiful night and the moon glowed proudly in front of us.

Louis stood in silence, his mouth opened wide. “Wow, this is just, wow. I’m speechless.” He looked at me and held my hands once again. “I really couldn’t ask for a more perfect night. And I really couldn’t ask to spend it with a more perfect girl.” He kissed me lightly on the lips, only once, and stopped to look at me again.

“Can we just sit and talk? I want to know more about you,” he said, mesmorized.

“I’d love to,” I smiled and we sat down next to each other on the ground and leaned against a haybale.

Chapter Eight

Louis’ POV

The boys and I began our walk down the corridor to meet Frankie, our stage manager, and get our microphones and head sets on. Harry, Liam, and Zayn were in front of me babbling on about how Harry cheated on their game of Wii golf because he pushed Liam while he was putting.

“Oh come on Liam, I did it once, and it was funny, quit complaining. You know I just have mad skills when it comes to golfing,” Harry smirked and raised his eyebrows.

“No, it wasn’t once, it was four times, and every time you did it, my score was a couple points below yours.” Liam stated matter-of-factly.

“Poor sport!” Zayn teased, then glanced back at Niall and I and his face turned very serious. Must be the nerves.

My thoughts traveled to Kenzie and how excited I was that she was going to be in the audience tonight. She new exactly how to make me drool over her with that short back dress. I was so lucky to meet a girl like her with such a bubbly personality, she was special, and I wanted this night to be perfect for her.

“Hey, Niall.” I gently nudged him in the ribs, “We have to make this show mind-blowing tonight, we got ladies in the audience.” I said the last part in a very seductive tone.

“I know, I was thinking about singing one of my solos to Hannah.”

“That’s a great idea! You know, Niall, have I ever told you how smart you are?” I patted him on the shoulder.

“Uhh, no.” He looked surprised at the compliment I just gave him.

“Right, that is because I don’t want you to get a big head my friend.” He shook his head and giggled, knowing I was gonna mess with him some way or another. “I mean look at Harry, I swear his head gets bigger every day, but you never know, it could be just his hair that’s getting bigger.” He let out a big laugh, which I hear all the time because it seems like Niall never stops laughing. “I’ll probably sing ‘Moments’ to Kenzie.”

“That’s perfect, I’ll do ‘More Than This’.”

“If she doesn’t fall for you after that, I’ve lost all hope in humanity.” I was positive that this was going to be an interesting night.

McKenzie’s POV

Hannah and I got to our seats right as Big Time Rush was finishing up with their song “Boyfriend.” I felt bad that we missed the whole opening act, but I’m glad we got to go backstage instead. A million girls would kill to be us right now.

The boys definitely hooked us up, and they weren’t lying when they told us that we were in the front row. We probably had the best seats in the entire arena. It wasn’t long before the lights went out and a video introducing the boys showed up on screen. It showed little bits of them—they all looked adorable as always— and it counted down the time until the show would start. As the seconds ticked down, fans started chanting along with it and we joined in. The energy was getting everyone’s adrenalin pumping.

“5, 4, 3, 2, 1!” The boys suddenly jumped out of the ground and the fans went absolutely nuts! The familiar song, “Na Na Na” began and all hell broke loose. Girls were screaming, laughing, crying, you name it. The boys had so much confidence and they owned the stage, but I couldn’t take my eyes of Louis. He was so happy throughout the entire concert, high-fiving the other boys and dancing along to the songs to get the crowd going. Seeing him this happy made me completely forget everything that happened with Zayn.

Hannah and I were having an amazing time and all the previous upbeat songs became more mellow and changed into a song that we both instantly recognized as our favorite, which was ‘Moments’.

Liam started out the song and then Harry took over before bringing the chorus around. I caught Louis looking at me and we locked eyes as he gave me a passionate grin. Niall began his solo and Hannah watched every move he made, taking everything in. He moved around the stage, grabbing a couple lucky hands. All of a sudden a familiar voice began to sing, and I turned to see Louis a few feet away, walking towards me. He was looking right at me and his eyes seemed to look right into my soul.

Hands are silent,
Voice is numb.

He took my hand and held it in his soft grasp and knelt down in front of me and serenaded me.

Try to scream out my lungs,
But it makes this harder,
And the tears stream down my face.

The crack of his voice when he sang harder made my heart melt and I wanted so badly to jump onto the stage and kiss him right then and there. I wanted his arms wrapped around me again. Louis dropped my hand and ran a finger down the side of my face before standing up again and joining in for the chorus. I was completely starstruck. Did that really just happen? I seem to be asking myself this question a lot lately. I looked at Hannah, she had a big cheeky grin on her face, she clearly just saw what happened and was as ecstatic as I was. I then noticed a few pairs of eyes behind her, giving me a dirty stare. Obviously they were jealous, so I decided to be the bigger person and I gave them the biggest smile I had. They turned around and scoffed. I could care less at how they felt.

A few more songs passed and “More than This” began to play.

Hannah jumped up and down and began yanking on my arm, “Our boys have solos in the song!” I loved the sound of her calling them ‘our boys’. We had always referred to all of One Direction as ‘our boys’, but now it had actual meaning. Was Louis my boy now?

Hannah’s POV

‘More Than This’ was one of my favorites and I loved Niall’s solo in it. I couldn’t wait to hear him sing it live. Harry and Liam started up the song and it sounded just like it did on the album. I was anticipating Niall’s solo, and when he sang, it took my breath away.

His eyes found mine as he stepped in front of me, and the sky blue color of his eyes seemed to look a tad darker, more piercing.

If I’m louder, would you see me? He sang out to the crowed. He looked down at me and mimicked Louis by taking my hand.

Would you lay down,
In my arms and rescue me?

‘Cause we are the same,
You saved me,
When you leave it’s gone again.

He finished the last of his lines and pulled me in for a hug. His lips brushed against my cheek and he ruffled my hair as he pulled away.

The rest of the concert passed in a blur. The boys were awesome and everyone seemed to have had a great time. Before I knew it, I was being shoved around by people trying to get out of the arena. Kenzie and I weren’t sure what was going on, so we decided it was best to head back to the hotel and talk with the boys after.

As we were hopping in my car, my phone vibrated, signaling that I had a text.

Text From: Niall<3 Hey, did you want to meet up at the fair grounds in an hour to watch the fireworks?

Text To: Niall<3 Of course, I’d love to :) Thank you so much for tonight too I really do appreciate it. xxx

Text From Niall<3 Not a problem. Like I said, I only do it because I like you :*

My heart was pounding a million miles a minute and I could hardly even get a breath in.

“Oh my god, Hannah! Wellllll… what did he say!”

“He wants to meet up to watch the fireworks later and he said he did all of this because he likes me…”

“Ahhh! Holy crap! That is so amazing I’m so excited for you guys!” Kenzie screamed into my ear as she was hugging me, and I let out a little scream of excitement with her.

“I’ll drive home, I don’t want you too get distracted and crash into something. You know, like that time last summer in the Hamptons….” Kenzie joked.

“Okay! He was really hot! And besides… I only backed into a parking meter.” I laughed.

“Uhh huh, sure. And a Bentley.”

“Alright so I scratched someone’s car! Leave me be!” We both had a good laugh before Kenz put the car in drive and we slowly made our way out of the crowded parking lot.

McKenzie’s POV

We were in bumper-to-bumper traffic and we only half-way out of the parking lot. Girls were weaving through the cars gushing over the boys. I rolled the windows down to let some cool air into the car and overheard two girls as they were getting into their SUV.

“Oh my god, did you see how Louis sang to that girl in the front row?”

“Oh I know it! I’m so jealous! I wish Louis would serenade me like that,” she pouted.

“Whoever that girl was, she’s so lucky.”

“It had to have been his girlfriend.”

“Did you see the way he was looking at her? More like his soulmate…” her voice was cut off as she closed her car door. I smiled to myself and wondered what Louis was doing right now. I hesitated before pulling out my phone. I sent Louis a text.

Text To: Lou Hey it’s Kenzie, I’m dying to see you. Text me back when you get the chance xoxo

He texted back immediately.

Text From: Lou I’m dying to see you too. Where are you? xxx

Text To: Lou Still in the parking lot, but I need to go check up on Citrine first. Where do you wanna meet up?

Text From: Lou Looks like I’ll be meeting you in the stables then :) xxxx

Text To: Lou Deal ;)

Chapter Eight tomorrow night!

sorry that we’ve kept you all waiting!
