_CHAPTER 7_

April's POV

I walked out from the staff's room and headed to "Banana Zone". I had insisted June on going there alone because I wanted her to have time with Niall.

I rang the doorbell and Harry opened the door. He saw me and smiled:

"Morning, April. I have been waiting for you."

He helped me carry everything in and put it in the bathroom.

"Well, good morning, Mrs. Styles." Louis stood behind me. "Having a busy night with cellphone buzz, didn't you?"

"Morning, Lou." I said back then hit him playfully.

"You'll have to pay for that..." He warned me "When your boy isn't here..."

After he walked away, Harry kept staring at me with mischievous smile.

"What?" I asked.

"You know..." He folded his arms in front of his chest. "April Styles sounds cool!"

I felt my cheek went pink instantly.

"I think it suck. No way!" I said, tried to cover up my blush.

"Hey, love-bird." I heard Liam called from the kitchen. "Stop flirting and come here. Harry, if you don't have breakfast now, you can't drink your medicine."

"Such a protector." Harry said. "Come on, I'm starved."

Then he took my hand and pulled me with him. I was speechless and couldn't believe that he was actually holding my hand.

The kitchen was crowded. June and Liam was busy with making pancakes while Louis and Niall was fighting because Niall had cut the carrots into two unequal half.

"You shouldn't have done that. I told you to cut it here." Louis yelled at Niall. "I know, you cut it like that because you want to eat more than me."

The breakfast for the boys was big and it was like being ready for five giant monsters, not for five normal boys. Even when June and I said that we had eaten, they still insisted us on sitting with them.

"It was like we're on vacation, not in our workplace." I laughed as Harry pulled me back on my chair.

"We're family, remember?" Liam smiled friendly.

"Awww, that's very sweet." June said and I nodded.

"He deserves another pancake, right, June?" I put another pancake in his plate. Then all the boys started saying how much they loved us, how close we had been and we were a family, blah..blah..blah. It was so fun! But there was something wrong with June. She was quiet and looked sad.

The foods were eaten very fast. After that, we pushed the boys out of the kitchen to wash dishes. They kept saying they wanted to help but I was dying to know what had happened with June.

"What's wrong with you, June?"

"Nothing." She said and looked away.

"You know I hate when somebody lies about something is too obvious to see." I grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at me. "Don't do that to me. I'm your best friend, June."

"He has girlfriend." June said with a weak and small voice, more like whispering.

"Who?" I asked.

"Niall."

She answered and looked at the ground. June seemed very strong but I knew her. When talking about love, she was like a snail, tried hard to hide herself in the shell, slowly suffed the hurt and let nobody know about it.

"But that is impossible. You're the one he likes." I said firmly, trying to use my voice to wipe away her worry. "There must be some misunderstanding."

June shook her head.

"Zayn told me this morning. He said Niall hasn't asked her out but it's just not yet.

I hugged her tightly.

"June, Niall likes you. I can take my beautiful wardrobe for bet. Trust me. There must be something behind this. Now, stop being sad, okay?"

June's POV

I didn't tell April about Tina. I knew how much she hated that girl. She would mess everything up and we could be fired if she found out about it. After all, Tina Harrison was daughter of our boss. Messing with her would like messing with our job.

Niall walked in and I let go of April, turned around to put away the dishes. Suddenly, the memory of yesterday came back in my mind, when Niall stood up and helped me put the dishes in the highest cupboard. He was so close to me at that moment and his scent was around me. But why now, he was standing right there, so close too but I felt he was far away?

"Well, it's time for Harry to drink his medicine. I'm gonna go and do my royal job." April winked and left the kitchen.

 Silence filled the kitchen. Both of us didn't say anything, only sound of the water from the tap.

"So, June. The boys and I are going to cook tonight." Niall broke the silence. "Any chance to keep you and April staying for dinner? You know, Harry is kind of hoping he can have more time with April."

It took me a few second to think. I didn't know what I wanted, to stay here with him and the boys or to go home.

"Sorry but I'm kinda busy tonight. Besides, I don't feel well today."

I decided to refuse. My mind quickly came uup with an excuse. The longer distance we kept, the better for me and my heart, right?

"You don't feel well? Are you sick or tired? Maybe you have gotten Harry's disease." Niall took a step closer and held out his hand to touch my forehead. The other hand was on his.

"No fever!" He announced.

I let out a laugh and calmed him down:

"Don't worry! I'm just a little tired and sleepy. Sorry for passing the great dinner."

"Oh, it's okay!" He shrugged "It's not the last time we cook. Well, if Louis doesn't destroy the kitchen. Just stay home and rest, okay?"

I noticed there was a little sadness in his smile when he turned away. But then I simply shook my head and told myself "Be reality, June. It's Tina who he likes." I smiled to myself, washed my face with cold water, let the water earse my tiredness and disappointment. Then I started humming a funny song from "Phineas and Ferb" and came back with my work.

Niall's POV

When she said "No", I felt disappointed. I was hoping she would stay with us for dinner. There was something strange in her eyes when she refused but I didn't know what it was. It was so indefinite that I couldn't read.

I closed the door of my room and locked it. Laying in my bed, I couldn't stop thinking about My Guitar Girl until I fell asleep.

**

There was knocks outside and it woke me up. I mumbled to myself and got up to open the door. It was April.

"Hey Niall. Sorry for interrupting your sleep but I need to clean your room."

"It's okay. How long ahd I slept?" I asked, ran my fingers through my hair.

"About three hours, I guess." She said. "June was right. You guys' rooms are messy."

"You know, genius alway has to be a little madness." I laughed.

"You guys have too much. Maybe I should take the pictures and send it to the paparazzies. 'The truth about the famous One Direction.' It could be a fabulous title."

For a few minutes, I just stood there, looking at April sweeping the floor.

"Where's June, anyway?" I asked April, tried to make my voice sounded normal and not to show too much care. Like a randon question only.

"She went home about 30mins ago. She left your lunch on the table. Come downstairs and eat."

"How is she? She told me she was tired."

"I don't know." April shrugged.

I nodded my head and let April do her work. I didn't want to disturb her with my stupidity and my worry. When I was about to leave, April called my name.

"Niall..."

I stopped and waited her to continue.

"Just want to say you should heat the food before you eat."

"Okay. I'll. Thank you!"

I left my room quickly. The door closed behind, I still heard a big sigh from April. And for somehow, I could say "heat the food" wasn't what she was going to say.
