Ana’s POV

“Are you ready to go back to the party?” I heard Harry’s voice ask from outside the room.

I checked my arms to make sure I got all the punch off. I was glad to see I had succeeded. I then looked down at my dress, and made sure it was good. It was now a peacock color instead of that white I had worn to the party originally. Now that I think about it, I think that was probably a stupid move on my part anyway, so I kind of deserved it.

“Yes, I’m ready,” I called back to him after doing a final check on my outfit. I walked out of the room and towards my boyfriend (which I will never get tired of thinking, even though it’s been all of about twenty minutes or less).

“You look lovely,” Harry complimented me. He took my hand, giving me a dimpled grin.

“Thanks,” I said, giving him a sweet smile in return. The two of us walked back to the party, hand in hand.

--------------------

After a long, fun night with my friends, we had headed back to the hotel rooms and said goodnight.

When everyone wasn’t looking, Harry had given me a soft kiss on the cheek. “Goodnight,” he whispered to me, and I couldn’t help but smile. Then he repeated it, only louder so it was directed to everyone.

“Goodnight,” everyone else said in turn. I joined in as well, smiling before following Lucy into our shared hotel room.

I took a seat on my bed and sighed happily, slipping my heels off of my feet. “That was awesome,” I said, almost forgetting the punch bowl incident, even though it was the thing that led to an important part of what made this night so amazing, at least to me.

Lucy looked at me funny as she took her own shoes off. “Even with the punch bowl? That was the first time you’ve worn the dress, and now it got ruined.”

I shrugged, but nodded. “Yeah, but it was still awesome, because that caused something amazing.”

Lucy’s eyes widened a bit. “Why would you say that? What happened?” She inquired, sitting on her bed.

I knew then it was time to tell her. “Well, you know how Harry and I walked back to the party together?”

“Of course,” she answered me. “Hey, what was the deal with you two holding hands, if you’re not…” then it dawned on her. “Oh my God, he asked you out?”

I smiled widely. Technically, he did, although he never specifically said, “Will you go out with me?” But I still took that as asking me out. Besides, I don’t think he would kiss me, and then ask me something entirely different. I then answered Lucy’s question. “Yeah, he did! I’m so happy right now, I feel like I could fly!”

“And go to Neverland with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys?” Lucy joked, wiggling her eyebrows.

“Shut up…” I picked up one of the pillows from my bed and threw it at her. It hit her in the face and she shot me a glare, even though I knew she was faking it.

“Anyway, I’m really happy for you, Ana. I know how much you like him,” she said, smiling as she tossed the pillow back over at me.

“Yeah, but we were talking and decided not to tell the paparazzi or anything like that. I don’t think I’m ready for all the attention I’d be getting if we made our relationship public, and Harry respects that,” I elaborated.

“That’s a good point,” Lucy said as she walked to the bathroom with her pajamas. From inside, she called out to me, “Hey, just out of curiosity, how did he ask you?”

“Well, the thing is, he technically didn’t ask me. He said he had to ask me something important, but he wasn’t sure how to say it. He said that hopefully what he would do next would speak for itself. And then…he kissed me!” I fell back into my pillow, a grin still visible on my face.

“Are you serious?” Lucy asked, although it sounded like she was brushing her teeth. Since she was, it sounded more like, “Awe yoo sewious?”

I laughed at how she sounded. “Lu, you’d better be brushing your teeth, because your words are starting to jumble together.” When I heard what sounded like a, “mmm-hmm,” I continued speaking. “Well, you’re lucky I can actually understand you.”

Lucy stuck her head out of the bathroom and shot me a look as if to say, “You think I’m not aware of that?” The toothbrush was still in her mouth and she was still brushing as she tried to talk to me.

“Just finish up. I need to use the bathroom when you’re done,” I sighed, and waited on top of my bed, pushing myself back upright instead of lying down.

When she was finished in the bathroom, I hurried into the room with my pajamas; a tank top and shorts. After changing clothes, brushing my teeth and hair, and washing my face, I slipped out of the room and headed towards my bed. As I slid under the blankets, I looked over towards Lucy, who was already in her bed. I inquired, “Hey Lucy, what about you and Niall?”

“What about me and Niall?” she responded, looking back at me with a confused expression.

“I don’t know, I just think that you two would be kind of sweet together, that’s all.” I laid my head back on the pillow, snuggling into my sheets.

“I don’t know, really, Ana. The thing is that I like Niall-.”

“Well, duh. He’s you’re favorite member of 1D, so I wouldn’t expect otherwise,” I laughed a bit as I said that. “Sorry for interrupting,” I added.

“Nah, it’s okay. But, I know that he’s going to leave at the end of the summer, so it’s not even worth getting into a relationship,” Lucy reasoned.

I bit my lip, snuggling deeper into my sheets. “But, couldn’t a long distance relationship work? Don’t you think it could work?”

“Ana, I didn’t mean it like that. I meant that a long distance relationship probably wouldn’t work for Niall and I. I didn’t mean it for you and Harry. I think the two of you could work.”

I nodded. “I know what you’re saying. I’ll see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Lu.”

As I flicked the lamp light off, I heard Lucy answer, “Goodnight Ana.”

-----------------------

“Goodbye, Harry. I’ll miss you,” I said quietly, hugging my boyfriend as he was called to get on his plane with the other boys at the airport.

“I’ll miss you too, Ana. I won’t forget you. I’ll call you anytime I can,” Harry promised me, hugging me back. “And, Ana, don’t say goodbye. Just say I’ll see you later.”

I nodded, resting my head gently against his chest. “Okay, Harry. I’ll see you later then,” I said quietly, wishing that we didn’t have to say goodbye.

“I’ll see you later, Ana.” He lifted my chin and gave me a soft, sweet kiss on the lips. When he pulled away, he told me one last thing before grabbing his suitcase. “I love you.”

And that, my friends, is when I woke up from a sad, yet oh-so-perfect dream. “Come on!” I mumbled angrily, sitting up in my bed. “He just said he loved me, and now I have to wake up!”

I looked over at Lucy, and found that she was still asleep. Aw, she was probably dreaming about Niall. I swear, she truly is a fan girl, no matter what she tells us. I chose not to disturb her and slipped out of my bed instead.

I pulled out a shirt with a picture of Peter Pan on it (yes, Lucy, Peter Pan) and jeans to go with it, as well as a pair of flats. With those things and my other…pieces of clothing in my arms, I headed to the bathroom to change and get ready for the day. After brushing my teeth and hair, changing clothes, and washing my face, not necessarily in that order, I walked out of the room and found Lucy still asleep! Wow…

I smiled, and sat at the desk in the hotel room. Pulling out my notebook, pencils, my laptop and my phone, I decided to quickly log onto that website I hang out on and chat with a few friends. Besides, I need to tell StarWars the news, minus the names of course. She truly was a close friend on there, so I felt good when I talked to her.

I turned my laptop on and opened Google Chrome. I typed in the web address and logged onto the site.

ForeverADirectioner has logged on.

I found the topic we had been talking on and clicked on it.

ForeverADirectioner posted: Hey StarWars; are you there? I have amazing news to tell you!

StarWars has logged on.

I saw the name of my friend show up in the online list. I also saw a few more show up, but I saw StarWars’s post first.

StarWars posted: Vas happenin’, Directioner? I hear you have some big news?

ForeverADirectioner posted: Remember that guy I was telling you about a while ago?

StarWars posted: Of course! What about him?

ForeverADirectioner posted: He asked me out! (Well, technically, he didn’t ask me…) And he kissed me!

StarWars posted: Seriously? I’m so happy for you!

ForeverADirectioner posted: Thanks! I’m so happy right now!

StarWars posted: I can tell. Even though he’s not Harry Styles, I can tell you’re happy.

I burst out laughing when I read that.

ForeverADirectioner posted: You have no idea…

StarWars posted: Hey, speaking of Harry, did you hear about those girls that One Direction’s hanging out with over the summer?

ForeverADirectioner posted: Of course I do. Why do you ask?

StarWars posted: I was just curious to see if you did. I bet at least one of the boys will be dating one of the girls by the end of the summer.

I laughed again, since she was so oblivious to what actually was going on.

ForeverADirectioner posted: Yeah, I think so too.

StarWars posted: And the youngest one, if she was older, could be kind of cute with Josh, even though he’s 21 and she’s what, 15?

Now that was a thought. What if Simone was dating Josh Devine, as in One Direction’s drummer? That could be kind of interesting.

ForeverADirectioner posted: She is 15, I read that somewhere, and that could work. I could see that, of course, if she was a few years older.

StarWars posted: Maybe.

I checked the time, and found that it was almost time for breakfast. I had to wake everyone up, plus it was our last day in New York City. We were going to be flying back tonight so we could be back in time for our Fourth of July celebration.

ForeverADirectioner posted: Hey, I have to go. It’s time for me to wake everyone up and get breakfast for twelve. I’ll talk to you later!

StarWars posted: Okay, later. Have fun with your new boyfriend!

ForeverADirectioner posted: Thanks!

I shut my laptop off and walked over to Lucy. “Lucy, wake up,” I whispered, gently shaking her awake.

“What is it?” Lucy asked drowsily. “Why are you awake before me?”

“Good morning to you too, sunshine,” I joked. “It’s time to wake up and get breakfast. I’m going to go get the others, and hopefully we can get to FAO Schwarz before we have to go! I want to try out that BIG piano!”

“I’m the one who can actually play,” Lucy laughed, smiling at me. “I’m coming. I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

“Later, Lu,” I said before grabbing my purse, sticking my notebook, pencils and phone inside of it, and heading out.

--------------------

“Whoa, this has got to be the biggest toy store on this planet,” Simone observed as we walked into the Grand Hall of FAO Schwarz. She wasn’t lying, it was absolutely incredible! I saw plenty of amazing toys as the twelve of us, including Kyle, walked down the hall. I saw a giant giraffe, and tall toy soldiers lining the hall.

“No doubt about that, or at least one of the coolest,” Kelly added, smiling. “I’m going to find myself something for my little cousin. Her birthday’s in a few weeks, so I want to get her something.”

“That’s nice of you to do that,” Zayn told Kelly kindly, smiling at her.

“Thanks, Zayn,” Kelly smiled at him.

Before Zayn could even open his mouth to speak, Louis let out a squeal. “Oh my God!” he exclaimed, heading off towards a display at the end of the Grand Hall, leaving the rest of us behind.

Liam bit his lip. “We’d better go after him,” he reasoned.

“Agreed, let’s get going,” Lizzie said, taking the lead as we all followed Louis.

We found him in the center of the store, hugging a…stuffed carrot? “Uh, Lou, what are you doing?” Niall asked as we stopped in front of him.

“It’s like it was made for me!” Louis exclaimed, looking up from his carrot.

“Then why don’t you get that? I think the rest of us are planning on getting something here,” I said as I continued to look at the stuffed carrot.

Three words to describe my reaction to that. What the heck?

Louis shrugged. “Maybe…” he said.

“Anyway, how about we all split up and go look around the store? We can meet at the BIG piano in about an hour,” Courtney suggested.

“That sounds good to me. I need to find something for Kelsey. Maybe I could get her a make your own Muppet!” Kelly smiled.

“I’ll come with you,” Zayn said.

“Awesome, see you guys later!” Kelly waved before heading off with Zayn towards the Muppet What-Not Workshop.

“Well, I want to go to FAO Schweetz! I’m craving candy, suddenly,” Courtney laughed.

“Mind if I tag along?” Liam asked her.

“Not at all,” Courtney said, smiling. “See you guys in an hour!” She and Liam walked off to the candy shop.

“Well, I think I’m going to head off and see Bookland,” I shrugged. “I think that’d be awesome!”

“You’re such a nerd sometimes,” I heard Lizzie say quietly.

“Hey, authors have to read too, so why not actually go to a place with books so I can check it out?” I shrugged. “Either way, I’m going. Maybe I’ll stop in the Dolls area or the Newborn Nursery or something…” I turned to walk, but then I felt a hand grip mine.

Harry had grabbed my hand. “Mind if I join you?” He asked me with a dimpled grin.

“I don’t mind at all,” I smiled at him, and the two of us walked off together, leaving the rest of the group behind.

“So…” Harry began as we walked towards our destination. “How are you this morning?”

“I think we covered that at breakfast this morning, but I’m fine,” I laughed just a tiny bit. “How are you?”

“I’m good, since I’m with you,” Harry said cheekily. I felt my cheeks heat up and I knew I was blushing. “Why are you blushing? That’s not embarrassing, it’s the truth!”

I smiled a bit, and said, “Thanks, Harry. That’s really sweet of you to say that.” Harry gave me another smile as we continued walking towards our destination. We walked past the Doll section and my eyes widened, in awe of all the dolls near us. “Wow…” I heard myself say.

“This place is pretty amazing, huh?” Harry asked as we walked.

“Totally,” I answered, smiling. “There’s so much here, it’s just incredible.”

“Is it your first time in New York City?” he asked me as we walked, making small talk.

“Yeah, it is. But this definitely has made it worth the wait,” I added, smiling as we continued to walk. It was true, though. I’ve wanted to go to New York City since I was really young. But this trip has definitely made it feel like it was worth the wait. I’ve been able to do a lot of cool things while we were here, and I got to spend it with five celebrities, plus I got a new boyfriend!

We then passed the stuffed animal section, and I paused in my tracks. There was an adorable panda bear in the room, looking as if it was waiting for me. I now understand how Louis felt!

“What is it, Ana?” Harry asked, looking at me.

“That panda bear is absolutely adorable!” I smiled brightly, pointing the stuffed animal out for him.

“Want to go in there?” he asked. When I nodded, he gently turned me and led me over to the panda bear I had seen. I gently picked it up and gave it a soft hug with one arm, similar to what Louis had done with his carrot. I didn’t let go of Harry’s hand. “Do you want to get it?” he asked.

“It’s really cute,” I said, not entirely sure if I wanted to get it or not. “I’m not sure.”

“Here, if you want to get it, I’ll pay for it. My treat,” Harry offered.

“No, I can get it. But thanks, Harry,” I thanked him.

“Alright, but at least let me pay half of it,” Harry offered again, still holding my hand.

“Are you sure? I really can manage it,” I said.

“No, I’ll pay,” Harry insisted. I knew I shouldn’t fight it. I nodded and gave him a smile. “Alright then, let’s go buy this, and meet up with the lads and the girls,” he continued.

“That sounds good to me.” The two of us walked to the nearest cash register, holding hands. In my arms I clutched my new little panda bear. I didn’t need it, of course, but it was so darn cute, and how could you go into a toy store and not get a toy?

We smiled at each other as we each paid half of the price. “Thank you,” I said to the cashier before taking the shopping bag. Together, Harry and I walked towards the BIG piano. I didn't really care that I never reached Bookland, it didn't exactly matter to me.

I knew we were leaving for home tonight, but at least I still had almost two full months with him. This summer would only get better, at least for me.
