Clary's POV
We get to the hotel and I throw my bags on my bed then run to Niall's room. If we are going to do everything on my list before we leave…we have to start now. Niall is unpacking when I fly in slapping his suitcase shut and grabbing his hand. "Clary the hell are ya doing?"
"We have to leave now. Places to go things to see!" I keep on pulling his arm. Damn when did he get so strong?
"Okay! Just give me like 5 minutes." I groan but agree. Then I go back to my room and grab my purse then wait outside in the hallway. I'm bouncing on my feet waiting for him. Penny comes walking out and sees me.
"Hey if Niall doesn't want to go…I'll be more than happy to go with you!" She was smiling and then frowned when Niall emerged.
"Finally! What were you doing in there?" Harry and Niall just share a glance then look at me and respond, "Nothing" at the same time. Penny and I looked at each other then back at them.
"Riiight…you ready?" Niall just nodded and smiled. I smile and link our hands together. He looks down and stops walking.
"Niiiaall…come on! We have a lot to fit in!" He just grabs my head and crashes our lips together. He pushes me against the wall, we were kissing each other like we wouldn't see each other again.
"I miss you sleeping next to me…I miss your body curled into mine…" He was holding me close now and whispering these things between kisses. I was digging my hands into his shoulder. He pulls away and his cobalt blue eyes bore into mine. "Where do we start baby?" I smile and pull him to the elevator.
"Okay! So I'm going to show you the REAL NYC. I'm going to knock you're socks off." He smirks and looks at me. Then I realize my wording.
"Better than how you usually knock my socks off Clary?" I pinch his arm. He yelps then sticks out his tongue. I look at him, thinking of the stuff he whispered then I send a quick text to my mom.

Me: Do you still have that place downtown?
Mom: Yea same address…I've been meaning to go back out. Some nice places for painting. The doorman should know you.
Me: Thanks mom! Talk to you soon. Xx

Niall went to go for the car but I pulled him the other way. "Nuh uh…we are walking."
"What?! Are you stupid? We will die!" I just keep pulling him along. And shockingly nobody really stopped us. A couple of fans caught on but promised to post the pictures long after we are gone. Niall must've pleaded to their humanity or something because I have seen these fans and they don't give a rats ass about us being on a date. We stopped for lunch at my favorite diner. "Well well well…look whose back in town. Don get your ass out here and look who it is! Come here dollface!" I smile and go hug Buzz. Niall looks utterly confused.
"Nice to see you too. I want two of my usual please. Buzz this is Niall…my boyfriend." Buzz is ex-army, reminds me a lot of him…my dad. That's why I always came here. Don the cook is ex-marine. Buzz walks over and looks at Niall. "So you're dating our little Clarissa huh? AYE DON GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE." Don comes running out and spots me.
"Clarissa!!! Welcome back home! Look at you. So lovely. Now lets go see what the old guy is crabbing about now huh?" Don had a think New York accent when Buzz sported a nice Chicago one. Don goes over while I sit at the bar watching it all go down.

Niall's POV
So we've been to an ILLEGAL rooftop, restricted area of the park but Clary had an in with the Ranger on duty, and now the diner from hell. Everywhere we've been Clary has known someone. They would greet her with open arms then scope me out. Right now two ex-military men are towering over me. I instantly think that this is what Clary's dad would've been like and no way in hell would I have gotten a second chance. "Uh yes sir…and she's not your little Clarissa." Don and Buzz cross their arms then move a little closer.
"We view Clarissa like one of our own kids. You think you're all high and mighty because you're a celebrity. Nothin' but a pretty boy." Buzz sneers at me again. And my blood just boils when I realize she once again cut out our relationship from her future.
"Well you'd be happy to know that I was Clary's high school boyfriend. She and I split before she came over here and I went on X-Factor. It was a stupid reason…I never stopped loving her." They look from me to Clary who was talking to some brunette like they were old friends. Don speaks up.
"She never mentioned that…but I can see why. I mean you are kind of a big deal." He pats my shoulder then heads to the kitchen. Buzz looks at me then pats me on the back, more like slapped though. Clary smiles and pats the stool next to her. Those guys have some nerve talking to me like that. "I'm glad they like you. They remind me of how my dad would be if he was…still with us." They liked me? Then I realize why she liked coming here. It was like she could imagine her dad instead of Buzz or Don.
"I don't know if they liked me…but I don't think they hate me. So what's your usual?" She just smiled at me then kissed my cheek. I just smile at her…happy that for once I feel like a normal couple. Buzz put the closed sign on and winked at Clary. I felt so at home with her. Its hard to explain…but before her, Ireland was home…but now I just want to be where she is. She was wearing jean shorts that showed off her lean legs, and a shirt that said 'I <3 Niall Horan'. She got that the first day of tour. Its not one of my t-shirts but it’s the next best thing. Then Don comes out carrying these monster burgers and fries along with two vanilla milkshakes. "You can eat all of this?" Don and Buzz just started laughing. Clary glared at them but I saw red start to appear on her cheeks. Clary looked at me and dipped a fry in the shake, popped it in her mouth.
"I ate here after matches and sometimes practice…a lot of food for cheap." Then I heard Buzz mumble 'Not that money was a problem'. Clary threw a fry at him. I laughed and dug in. We spent close to three hours there. Buzz and Don were cool guys and towards the end, I think they really started to like me. "Okay now we enter the nightlife of NYC. So we have to go back and get ready. Then I suppose we can invite the others out too." We stroll back hand in hand. By the time we get back to the hotel. Paul is furious at us for leaving with no security whatsoever. But he softens up once Clary tells him what we did and how nice the fans were about it. "Okay…just don't do it again. Or let us just follow in normal clothes to keep an eye out." So Clary tells them that we are going out but won't be coming back to the hotel. Now I'm confused. Harry and Penny are all for going out. But the others are still tired. I get out to see Clary in this little black dress and let me just say…thank god I am proposing after this tour.
"Absolutely not. You can't wear that! Go change." She walks over and I know that she will change my mind but I can't have MY girlfriend trouncing around in that!
"Why not? Don't you like it?" She was standing in front of me and playing with my shirt collar, fixing it a bit.
"What? I um…no I like it…its just that…um other men will like it too." Then a smile appeared on her face. She leaned in and kissed the corner of my mouth. What has gotten into her?
"Good. I like it when you get jealous. It looks good on you. Shall we go?" She turned and asked them that. I was just standing there still staring at Clary. Then she was pulling on my hand so off we went. I pulled her very close as the camera's flash around us. But most of the reporters were interested in Penny and Harry. I squeeze her side and then kiss her cheek. Penny and Harry haven't gotten down the affectionate part of the public image. Clary gets the hint and smiles then leans on my shoulder. I open the door for her, "After you m'lady." She curtsies and then gets in. All the attention was on us now. They were just snapping away. I flashed them a smile and wink then hop in. Harry and Penny look at us. Harry speaks up, "How do you just do that? Like be all cute in front of them?" Clary and I just shrug.
