To love someone means to give them the power to destroy you and to trust that they will not. 

"WAKE UP!" Liam calls, banging on the door of our hotel room. 

"Go away," I yell back in a sleepy voice. Niall makes no effort to move. Liam opens the door and walks in. 

"Get outta bed, lazy bums." 

"No," I groan. Niall throws a pillow and hits him in the head. I smile. It surprised me because I didn't know he was actually awake. 

"That hurt," Liam mumbles.

"Too bad. Get out," I order. 

"LOUIS THEY WON'T WAKE UP!" he yells down the hallway. I hear Louis sigh. The next thing I know Louis and Claire are both bouncing on the bed laughing. I sigh and roll over, opening my eyes. 

"I'm up," I say, defeated. 

"I'm not," Niall groans. I giggle. Louis frowns at him and lightly kicks his side. "Louis get out or I'll shave your head." I laugh. 

"Psh fine," Louis says, hopping off the bed. "Just be up in the next ten minutes. We need to leave for our next tour stop." He leaves with Claire and I turn my attention to Niall. 

"Niall..."

"Hmm?" 

"You need to get up," I say in a sweet voice. 

"Mmm....no thanks."

I giggle and roll my eyes at his response. He turns over and pulls the covers up closer. I lean down and kiss his lips. He kisses me back. I pull away and smile at him. He was wide awake now. He sits up and kisses me again. I smile and pull away, giving him a stern look. 

"We have to get ready."

He pouts and I chuckle, moving to get out of bed. His arm was around my waist though, and he pulled me back into his lap. I look up at him smiling.

"Can I help you?" I ask.

"Yes."

"Niall, we have to pack up our th-" I was cut off by another kiss. I giggle against his lips. 

"You said I could kiss you whenever I wanted for no apparent reason. Remember that deal last night?" he says with a smirk. He leaned down to kiss me again but I put my hand up to stop him. 

"Do you remember the other side of the deal? I won our game. You're my slave today and I order you to get your butt out of bed and go brush your teeth before you kiss me again," I say, smiling at him. He rolls his eyes playfully before letting me go and getting up to brush his teeth. 

While I prepare for the day I think of what I'll have Niall do. My slave for a day. I could have some fun with that. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're kidding."

"Nope," I say, shaking my head and grinning. He looks at my feet in his lap and rolls his eyes. I wiggle my toes, still smiling.

"I can't believe I lost our game," Niall mumbles as he gives me a foot massage. I smile and relax on the tour bus as he mumbles curse words that I couldn’t understand. 

"I order you to stop complaining," I say giggling. He rolls his eyes again but doesn't say anything else. 

"I have to admit this is quite entertaining," Harry comments. All the boys were smirking as I bossed Niall around. 

"She's got you whipped!" Louis laughs. Niall glares at them. I giggle and hug Niall's arm, leaning my head on his shoulder. 

"He's not whipped. He just lost a bet," I say, winking. Niall smiles down at me. 

"And it was worth it," he adds. I smile back at him. 

"Get a room," Liam says rolling his eyes. I roll my eyes back at him.

Niall leans down and kisses me extra-long just to piss him off. I grin as I kiss him back. The boys all make gagging noises. I chuckle as Niall pulls me into his lap and snakes his arm around my waist. 

"You're just jealous," Niall says, sticking out his tongue at the boys like a child. I laugh. I love these guys. 

We were on the tour bus driving to our next stop. Claire was sleeping in the back.

We really only had about five stops left including the one we were headed to. We were spending more time at each location though. Instead of just staying the night and leaving in the morning we would stay for almost two days at a time before moving on. Either way the tour was coming to an end. It made me sad to think about. 

The rest of the day I had Niall do everything I said. It was enjoyable on my part. He made me a sandwich, rubbed my back, and did a bunch of other pointless things I wanted him to do. It was hilarious.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You did great!" I congratulate the boys as they exit the stage. They all wore enormous smiles, making me smile as well. 

"Thanks. So did you! We actually have a private meet and greet with a few fans who won a contest. You coming?" Harry says, looking at me curiously. I think about it for a moment and then nod. 

"Sure. Why not?" I answer him as we all walk to the correct location of the meet and greet.

I've joined in on a few of their meet and greets before. Most of the girls I had met were happy to meet me as well as the boys. A lot of them claimed to be big fans of mine and couldn't wait until I would start with my own concerts and music. It flattered me really.

But some others weren't as kind. They just glanced at me briefly before making a disgusted face and turning away to chat with their beloved One Direction. I didn't really care that much. After all they were here for them, not for me. It only pissed me off when they would hate on me to my face because of my relationship with Niall. Why should I deserve hate for falling in love? I know that sounded cheesy, but it's true. I'm in love with Niall and in my opinion it shouldn't matter to anyone else but us. Maybe that's just me.

Though today the two girls meeting the boys seemed to be nice. They didn't say they were fans of mine but they didn't hate on me either. They were just aware of my presence and tried to include me in their conversation. I tried to stay out of it though because this was their chance to meet the boys, something they have probably dreamed of for quite a while, and I didn't want to interfere. 

"What are your name's babes?" Harry asks them. They blushed when he called them 'babes'. 

"I'm Kate," the short brunette one said shyly. She brushed some hair behind her ear and stared at the floor, her face flushed red. The boys all smiled at her. She had freckles dotting her note and cheeks and she wore a 1D hoodie and jeans. She seemed nice. 

"I'm Maggie," said the blond one, smirking. Her hair was clearly bleached and she looked like she spent all her time outside tanning even though it was nearing December now. Her hair was pin straight and the heat damage was obvious. She wore a mask of makeup and extremely short shorts that looked almost like denim underwear. Her shirt looked more like a boob cover in my opinion. Actually, no, because it wasn't covering her boobs. They were almost falling out of the 'shirt'. I would actually label it as a scrap of fabric instead of an actual article of clothing. 

Her appearance made me a bit grossed out. Why would someone show up so....exposed? It's the middle of freaking winter. Who is she trying to impress with an outfit like that? Pedophiles? No. That's disgusting. Even the boys looked a bit uncomfortable. It made me want to cover Claire's eyes. 

"Nice to meet you," the boys all said to them. They gave them a few things to sign. Maggie kept glancing over at me and giving me sweet smiles. It was a little weird because it was at random times, but I just smiled back nicely. Kate kept biting her lip like she knew something she was afraid to speak out loud. 

As the boys were busy chatting with the girls I turned my attention to Claire. She was playing with a fancy and expensive looking decoration sitting on the table by the couch. My eyes went wide and I pulled her away from it.

"Claire! Please do not play with the fragile things. They are not toys," I say sternly. She looked down at her lap and I hugged her. I always felt bad when I had to discipline her or when I had to punish her for whatever reason. It wasn't an often occurrence. She was mostly well behaved. 

The boys didn't seem to notice this little interaction. I pulled Claire onto my lap and looked back up to watch the boys with their fans. That Maggie girl sort of weirded me out, but I wasn't planning to say anything of course. That would be rude. 

As I watched Maggie talk to Niall and Zayn I saw Kate watch her as well. She had an unsure and nervous look in her eyes. Maggie smirked at Kate and turned to grab a water from a table of available snacks. As she passed her she whispered something into Kate's ear, which only seemed to make Kate more nervous. Now she was biting her lip and repeatedly glancing at me. What is going on?

None of the guys seemed to notice this between the two girls though. Maybe I'm just paranoid for some reason. It's probably all in my head or something. Or I'm just tired. It is after all almost one in the morning.

After she got her water she walked back over to the boys. I tried to act like I wasn't watching as I counted and recounted the charms on my bracelet. Maggie laughed at something Louis said and casually got a hold of Niall's arm. The gesture made me silently glare, but I tried to hide it as soon as it came by thinking about Niall's personality. His kindness. Who he was.

He wouldn't hurt me. I'm smart enough to know that. If things got too out of hand he would stop it. I'm sure fans tried to hold his hand all the time. Besides, he promised me. He promised that he would never do anything to break my heart and have my brother take me away. He promised the events in my dream would never actually happen. 

He didn't move his arm away though. I don't think he even noticed she was holding him so I didn't get very upset over it. She didn't try anything further, but I saw Kate watch her closely the entire time, like she suspected there was more planned in Maggie's mind.

After the meet and greet, the girls left. I was exhausted and really just wanted to sleep. We loaded onto the bus and started back to the hotel. During the drive there I laid my head on Niall's lap like I usually do when I want to rest on the bus. He smiled down at me. 

"So," I say quietly so the other boys don't eavesdrop on our conversation. Louis and Harry were talking, Claire was asleep, and Liam and Zayn were chatting as they tweeted from their laptops. They were all pretty occupied at the moment.

"So," he responds nonchalantly.

"Those girls seemed nice," I say, wondering his reaction. Why am I doing this? Why am I testing him? Niall wouldn't hurt me. It's not like anything happened. It's not like me, Claire, or the boys will ever see that girl again. 

"Yeah," he says, nodding. 

"I think the blond one liked you," I say to him, smirking playfully. I said it as a joke, but I really wanted to hear what he would say to that.

Ugh. I don't need to do this. 

He chuckled lightly. "I think you're right. But you're the one that I love," he says, smiling down at me in his lap. His words bring a smile to my face. He was seriously the perfect boyfriend. 

"I don't deserve you," I say quietly. 

"What makes you say that?" he questions, surprised by my statement.

"Because you're too amazing for me." He smiles and rolls his eyes. 

"Wanna know what I think?"

"What's that?"

"I think that I'm the one who doesn't deserve you," he says, kissing my head. 

"How about this. We both equally deserve each other," I suggest, coming to a compromise. He smirks. 

"Whatever you say Lexi." I smile and roll my eyes, slapping his arm lightly. 

"You're lucky I love you because you can be a real stubborn pain in the butt sometimes," I say jokingly. He smiles, showing me all his teeth and exposing his clear braces. 

"I know."

I laugh and cuddle up next to him, closing my eyes on our way to the hotel. I have nothing to worry about. 

Niall promised.
