Arial P.O.V

I was on my way with Lou and Harry to the art shop Harry and I visited last week. I got some paintings I painted and some simple drawings. I was wearing a off white sweater, think the color is, and black jense. I felt like mentioning that because I am so stylish now.

Thanks to Lou I will never have to worry about choosing outfits anymore.

Lou sat on the back seat commenting on my drawings amazed.

As we got into the shop I was greeted by a painting of mine hung beside the others.

"OMG Harry look!! " I jumped saying.

"Oh is that yours?" Lou asked

"We gotta take pictures of this and show the boys " Lou added getting her phone out.

I nooded unable to believe, "Ahw salt I'm proud of you!" Lou said hugging me.

I took pictures as well off the pieces  I will be selling and basically everything else.

"Here you are again Ms, nice to see you" the man we met earlier said.

By time we were heading out
I HAD GAINED $1010 !!

"I'm very disappointed " Harry said.

I looked at him a bit sad does he think I don't deserve the money? was my drawing this bad?

But just with a pop of color it will be fine. I'm very proud of Louis's piece though.

And the one of them all was fairly good.

"What do you mean Harry?" Lou asked

"I mean I thought 5000 was fine, not enough but fine. And we get out with 1000??" He explained

I smiled "What?" Harry asked.

"Oh, nothing I thought you we're going to say something else, Never mind." I said opening the passenger door to ride in.

"Oh Harry, honey, drop me by a grocery store. I Need to buy some stuff." Lou said.

"Sure" Harry replied turning his car on.

When we arraived at the store Lou entered and started collecting her needs right away, with me and Harry behind.

"Why did I come again?" Harry asked walking lazily beside me, I smiled at his attitude as an idea tugged into my mind.

I got my money out looking at it with a wide smile on my face.

"Harry! Come on!" I said pulling him by the hand as I ran to Lou "Lou! We'll be back, call me when you are done" I told her as I ran away with Harry. Like the sound of that, smirkes.

"Slow down!" Harry said while I was pulling him "what are we doing exactly?" He asked, I slowed down with the smile not leaving my face as I turned facing him.

"Lets cook today! Together!" I said

"cook?" He asked, I nodded eagerly "OK!!" he said with the most gorgeous, widest; smile on his face showing his perfect dimples.

***********

I walked ahead of Harry pushing the almost full cart "what we ganna cook again? It seems we'll cook for the whole city! Why all this?!" He asked, wined actually.

"Come on! We are almost done!" I said, My phone's ring tone was heard before I took it out to answer the call.

"Hye, I'm done. Where are you two?" Lou asked

"oh, done already? Ok we are coming now. See you"

"ok then, I'm waiting at the cashier" with that she ended the call.

"Come on! Lou is done," I said looking at him "OK, this. Check, and this.. this... this... check" l continued as I was checking then started walking again.

"Yeah she is! What about you?! We really don't need all this!" He continued complaining as I was making sure I bought everything.

"Check, everything check. Now let's go!" I said walking forward faster, then sensed him fastening his path as a smile crypt to my face.

"LOU!!" I called when I saw her standing near the cashier, she waved at me. "What's all this for?" She asked astonished, I just took a deep breath smiling at her "We'll cook today!" I said, she just let out a heavy sigh "You are adorable" she said then I smiled shyly at her.

I pushed the cart forward to the cashier, Harry helped me as the Cashier started ringing up the items.

He was done, I took out my money pushing it forward then I felt Harry's hand on mine "hye, what are you doing? Stop showing off your money!" He shouted.

I yanked his arm away jokingly "It's my treat!! And you'll be my assistant!" I said the last part smiling widely.

He stopped me once again, I glared at him "let go!" I ordered, he just stared at me.

"If you don't let go I'll shout your name out loud, you know what will happen after that right?" I threatened him with a smirk on my face.

He smirked "huh, you won't do that." He replied

"oh really? Okay. let me show you, " I said.  "HAR------" I was cut with his hands on my mouth

"Okay!! Okay!!" I smiled again after he let go.

"Lets go, Lou!" I said walking to her with Harry following.

***

I carried the grocery bags to the bus.

Walking behind Harry.

He came back telling me that the boys rented a hotel. If we wanna go prepare our meal there. Or in Harry's case the big ceremony.

I agreed we got all the bags into the elevator with Lou holding it for us the hotel service helped as well.

I heard loud voices before entering the room. Harry slipped on the key card the boy's had left him down stairs.

I sighted giggling. Lou and I looking at each other knowingly.

As I entered. I saw Liam and Louis playing video games.

"Where have you guyse been all day?? " Lottie came asking us.

"Hallo to you too Ti" I said

She laughed, "so"

"We went to sell some art work of mine. Then we went to buy some grocery. Harry and I will be cooking you guys something special today. " I said linking my arm with Harry's. He gave me a mischief look. "Lose the smirk Harry. Don't take yourself too seriously. You're not the chef here. I AM. " I told him

***
"Where is Niall ??" I called to Louis and Liam

"Out " Liam said "with Jamie " Louis completed.
I nodded grabbing the bags to the kitchen. It was such a beautiful modern one.

"I will go change and come back, you empty the bags " I told Harry
"Wake me up when you are done I am off to bed so tired " Lou said
"Okay. And okay sleep well" Harry told the both off us .

I took some shirt I figured belonged to Louis and a knee length leggings from Lottie.

Dressed Tomlinson style on this, lovely evening.

Washed my face and all that fun  stuff. And head back to the kitchen.

"You done ??" I asked Harry.

"Yup. What are we cooking exactly??" Harry asked.

"That is for me to know and you to figure out " I told him

Only 30 min later I heard the door open and Niall's loud voice laughing for some odd reason I felt the a smile creaping through.
"Keep on steering " I told Harry. He groaned cause that is all he has been doing for the last 20 minutes.

I giggled.

"Niall" I called

"Ari " he called back I ran hugging him.

He picked me up. Jamie waved at me. "Hay" I said not letting Niall go.

Jamie took off somewhere.

"Well. well. well. Look at you two. Ari ?? Is this the mystery guy you were kissing? ?" I recognised the voice as Zayn's.

I let go of a laughing Niall.

What's up with him won't he let that go.

I smacked Niall's arm "You're supposed to stand up for me. Not laugh at me !!" I whispered.

"Sorry bbe." He said

"Bbe come and look who got a girl " Zayn said earning a glar from Niall.

For some vague reason I liked the sound of that 'Niall's girl'.

"Oh my my Niall finally has a girlfriend ??" a very British, Jodie accent, very beautiful feminine sound said.

I looked at her wide eyed. She!! I know here. How could I not. I drew her. I just can't remember her name. Her hair was different thou,

"Shut up perrz " Niall said
Perrz?? I thought that must be her name. Thou sounds like a nickname. Won't make the same mistake with Lottie. I should have figured Charlotte is her Real name.

"Hallo Love " She said taking me in a hug.

"H. Hallo...." I said a bit shaky.

"I'm Perrie Edwards Zayn's Fiancée. Nice to meet you " she said smiling widely.

Okay waw!! she is drop dead gorgeous. Damn why are all the one direction girlfriends / fiancée so freaking beautiful.

"I'm Arial Anderson pleasure is all mine " I said taking a step back behind Niall.

"Come a bit closer Ari. We really don't bit" Zayn said

I stuck my tongue at him I really hate him right now.

He pouted giving his very good puppy eyes. And what you think I did?

Oh well just melted.

Perrie laughed "Arial?? You are the one who draws and omg I love your name " she said

I felt my cheeks a bit pink. She knows me and loves my name.

"Zayn speaks about you all the time" she said

"All good I hope " I said looking at Zayn smiling. He smiled back.

"Of course. "

"Thank you. Will you stay for dinner?? Harry and I are almost done" I said

"Yeah I would love to " she said

"Great then....," I got cut off mid sentence by Harry shouting my name, "if you will excuse me I think Harry is burning the kitchen " I said

She laughed walking away with Zayn.

I smiled walking away taking Niall's hand in mine.

"Are you really cooking? ?" Niall asked

"Yeah, are you again doubting my master chef abilities? ?" I asked him entering the kitchen.

"Ari... thank god you're back. It's boiling what should I do??" Harry asked

I turned the stove off.

"Okay now while that cools off we wash the chicken " I said

"I'm so not washing any chicken" Harry said moving away

"Not one, four" I said

"What 4 almighty chicken? ?? Why whome are we feeding Queen Elizabeth ??" Niall said

I laughed "no. You will probably eat an almighty chicken by yourself. There is me, Harry ,Lou, Louis, Lottie, Liam and Sophi, Zayn and Perrie, Lux and Prick and Paul, and Jamie, and I think Julian will be here in a few. " I ended

"O.m.g" Harry gasped.

"Hay its not that bad. when was the last time you actually sat and had dinner togather ??" I asked

They both looked at each other frowning. "Excatly never " I said

"Now come on. Got alot of work to do " I said turning around and washing the chicken.

Niall was about to exit "oh no Mr where you think you are going " I asked him

"I have alot of..alot of work to do with Jamie " he said

"No you don't you will be staying to help us, and that is final or else you are not to attend dinner with us" I said

"What???"

"It's your choice "

"Not Fair " Niall said

Harry laughed

I shrugged my shoulders, "fine " Niall said giving in.

"Good boy" I said patting his cheek making Harry Laugh again.

*****

For about 1  hour we have been in the kitchen Harry and Niall gave up on actually cooking a long time ago.

"What's taking you guys so long?? Need any help?? Rumor has it Ari is cooking! " Sophi said entering the kitchen.

"Thank God for you. Please these two men are no use." I said

"Hay. I am useful just not in the kitchen " Niall said

"Like where exactly?? " I teased

"Music; bed; kissing; dissing.. "he started

"STOP" I said laughing with  Harry and Sophi.

"Ha! all done. Harry wake Lou up, and prepare the dining table"
I told him

Him and Sophi nodded chanting Hallelujah!!

I giggled opening the stove to get the very good smelling chicken out. I eventually made 5 not 4

Stupid reckless me. Forgot to bring something to actually carry the burning container with.

I hissed getting back lightly screaming. My right hand burning in pain.

"Omg Ari are you okay? ?" Niall shouted

"I'm fine. Just take it out" I told him refaring to the chicken.

"Now show me." He said after taking the food out and placing it on the counter.

"It's nothing I just need..."

"Show me " he cut me off.

I did almost instantly feeling like a little kid scolded by his dad.

"Come here" he said picking me up and placing me on the counter. I did not uter a single word.

To be honest if getting burned means Niall carrying me and treating me like a doll; I wouldn't mind getting slightly burned.

Whatttttt....

"Does that hurt? ?" He asked placing a cold cream white paste on it.

I nodded yes.

He wasted no time in doing the one thing I expect him not to.

He cupped my cheeks kissing my lips.

I felt butterflies exploding in my tummy. My heart doing little flips as well, not little gigantic.

We heard foot steps coming closer, We parted.

"Hay guys need any help? ?" Perrie asked grinning widely.

"Yeah we are done " I said

"Oh my what happened to your hand" she asked worried.

If felt nice, someone worried about you.

"It's nothing don't worry. Just got slightly burned "

"It's not nothing. We have to see a doctor " Niall interrubted

"Be careful sweet heart " Perrie said

I nodded. Smiling at Niall. Perrie took the food and went outside. Niall kissed my hand then took me off the counter and back on my feet.

I smiled like an idiot I couldn't be happier. I just don't want to over think this.

If I do I probably won't get out.

I'm happier with Him, Them.

***

"Oh are you okay?? Is it red ??" Paul asked

After Niall told everyone. I wouldn't be shocked if he tweeted about it.

"I'm honestly good. Thanks Paul " I said

"But really you cook great " he added.

"Thank you so much." I smiled shyly.

I had a quick chat with Prick who was telling me about A Drunken Louis story.

"Oh come on you don't need to tell her that, She is still innocent " Louis argued earning a hush from his sister who was apparently as interested as I was.

"We should go out and have some fun; while Perrie is here " Sophi said.

"That would be a great idea, thanks Soph" Perrie 's eyes sparkled literally.

How could she be so pretty. Sophi smiled at here how could she be so pretty too.

Ahgggg

"Okay tomorrow night is your only chance " Paul said

"Thanks Paul " Liam and Zayn said grinning like mad men.

"I'm so excited for this for no apparent reason " Lou said

Jamie had excused himself a few minutes ago; saying he should not leave his wife waiting any longer.

Cutie !!

Niall followed to say his last goodbyes.

"What Did I miss? ?"Niall came asking. Instantly grabbing his frok and eating.

Just in time I thought.

"We are going out.. tomorrow... " Harry said in between eating and swallowing.

"You're disgusting. " Liam told him.

I laughed. My phone bussing in my pokets.

I got it out smiling at what the caller I'D showed.

"Who is this ??" Niall asked trying to over look.

"None of your business Nialler " I said getting up and walking to somewhere quieter.

"Hallo. My love " I answered making sure Niall heard me.

"My love ?? I  am flattered. But please I have a boyfriend. missed you already. So, I  am at an Art Gallery and you will not freaking believe what I am standing in front of now" Eleanor, Ela, said

I giggled.

"Art Gallery? ??? Since when do you actually go there??" I asked

"Huh! Anyways  your painting!!! It's beautiful to be honest. And the starting cost is $3000." She said

The blood in my vains froze. Many questions. How did my painting fly to London?? For starters.

"Hay you still there? ?"

"Yes. yeah, omg! are you sure? ?"

"Of course I am A.A is singed. "

"It could be easily someone else " I said

"Wait I will send you a picture " she said

"Okay " my phone buzzed I checked the messages and omg indeed it is one of my paintings.

*a girl looking in the mirror that has the word ugly written on it*

"Omg it is really mine " I screamed in to  the phone.

"Calm down girl. And it's getting so much attention for the message it holds " Ela said

"Omg you're not actually playing me right Ela this is pretty huge for me to handle " I said

She giggled "no I am not. I know how much that means to you that is why I called you Ari."

I SMILED CAN THIS GIRL GET MORE AMAZING? TURNS OUT SHE CAN, "And I am going to stick around see how much it sells out, I  will text you about it later " she added

"Thank you so much much love."

"Your welcome. How are things??" She asked

"I went to sell some art work of mine today with Harry and Lou we bought groceries and cooked, Harry and I and Niall I am just saying there names cause they were around doesn't mean they helped. " I said, She laughed

"How much did you make ??"

"A thousand 4 drawings " I said

"Ari you have got to raise it; I tell you one here starts at 3000" she said

I squealed. Telling her more about Perrie being here and me hurting my hand. Which she reacted by asking me if she should fly to check on me .

That girl is crazely amazing.

And I also told her about us going out tomorrow. I had spoke to her before about mine and Niall's situation I just kept out the kissing part.

"I think you guys are so cute " she said

But this time I told her about it.
Which she was really frantic about. Asking how I felt and stuff.

"And send me pictures. Or otherwise will kill you " she said

We talked for about an hour. About everything. Before she ended telling me that the selling is up.

"I will talk to you tomorrow bbe take care. Oh it's 4000 now " she said

"Okay okay keep up " I told her

****

"Who have you been talking to for two hours? ?" Louis asked me as I plopped on the sofa next to him.

"I think you better watch out for your girlfriend Tammo, Cause we are kind of in a love relationship now" I told him

"You were talking to El? ?" He asked

"Yeah, why are you so amazed ?" I asked

"She's never been the open to random people girl. I find it hard to believe you guys are so close in such a small amount of time " he said

"It's kida hard not to fall for me. I have charms " I smirked

"You do. You sure do " he said

I smiled shyly.

"Hay wanna show you something" I told him smiling

"Sure " he said

"You know how I went to the art shop today!! "

He nodded

I got my phone and unlocked it straight to gallery then handed him the phone.

He placed his phone and tea mug on the coffee table.

When it comes to Louis William Tomlinson he is the Yorkshire Tea King; not to mention the best in the making.

"He laughed when did you draw this?? " he asked referring to the group selfi / most stupid selfi of all time.

"Yesterday. I wanted to draw it right after that hectic selfi day of yours "

"Oi Oi. Ari it paid off some cash "
"Hhhhh this one is nice too "

"This is actually really good Ari. You should show this one to Liam and Sophi " he said flipping the phone so I could see and it was the drawing of Liam.

"Wow " he gasped

"How did you get this ??" He asked referring to his own picture.

"I imagined it" I said simply

"This is amazing Ari; you are really talented "

I grinned "thanks Lou "

He placed an arm around my shoulder and bought me closer to him so he could kiss my hair.

I never felt like I had someone who would be there for me at all times. But now I think I do.
Louis treats me excatly like he treats Lottie which couldn't make me any happier.
