Niall's POV:
I drove up in my parents driveway. It feels like forever since I where in Ireland, home in Mullingar, with my family and friends. As I park the car, I see Mr McCarthy, the neighbor, shoveling snow,
cuz wow, it's a lot of snow.
He spots my car and smile at me as I get out. I walk over to talk to him, it feels like forever since last time I saw him, but still, he is the same.
"It's good to see you, Niall" Mr McCarthy said with a joyful voice
"It's good to see you to, Mr McCarthy" I said as I greeted him with a handshake
We talked and cached up for a bit when I spotted someone in the window looking down at me. Erina. My best friend. I looked up at her with the biggest smile on my face, but then she was gone. Suddenly I felt two arms wrapped around my neck. Oh god, I've missed her, I said to myself, as I hug her tight. The sense of her perfume makes me want to hug her even more.
God I love that smell.

Erina's POV:
We hugged for a long time. It felt so good, feeling his hands around me, holding me tight. God I've missed him, so bad. As we let go of each other, his eyes met mine and we just stood there, smiling.
"Thank god you are home. I've missed you so, so bad" I said with a soft voice
"I know, I've missed you too, Eri" He said while hugging me once more
It feels so good to have him back home I could almost drop to my knees. This is an odd feeling, I've never felt this way when having him home before?
We gathered at Niall's house for the rest of the day. Maura and Bobby, Niall's parents, invited me and my family to dinner, which has been a tradition, sort of, when Niall comes home. After dinner Niall and I went upstairs to his room, to catch up since last time. It was so nice to have him back and finally get to talk to him, face to face.
"So, Eri, I heard you are moving out soon?" He said with a joyful voice
"So you heard?" I said with a questioning voice
It was a surprise. I bought an apartment downtown Mullingar. Now that I've turned 20 I found out I need a place of my own.
"Yeah, I heard your mom and dad talk with my parents about it. I'm so glad for you Eri" He said with a lot of excitement in his voice
"It'll be nice to have my own place. It's actually only a few days till I get the keys. Do you want to help me move? I said with a soft and begging voice
He looked up at me and smiled.
"Of course I'll help a pretty lady like you" he said with a flirty voice
I could feel my body heathen when he speaks, and I find myself staring at him, intense.
He thinks I am pretty.?
God his I handsome.
Why haven't I noticed that before?
Why am I thinking of him like that?
It's never happened before.. He is my best and oldest friend; I have to let this go, or?
I snatch back to reality by Niall waving his hand in front of my face.
"Hello, Eri, are you ok?" He said with a high voice
I could feel myself blush, because he obviously saw me searing at him.
"Oh, eh, yeah, I'm ok" I said with an soft voice
He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.

Niall's POV:
We sat on my bed talking. She told me what she's been up to since the last time we saw each other. I couldn't help but looking at her smile, it's so beautiful. All of a sudden, I caught her stare at me. Like really intense. I waved my hand in front of her face to make contact, and she finally got back to reality. I smiled at her, and she smiled back as we laid down on my bed. It's always been like this. Every time we see each other these days, we end up crashing at each other's beds. It feels so natural to lie beside her and feel her warmth.
"Goodnight, Eri" I said as I laid my arm around her waist and kissed the back of her head
"Goodnight, Niall" she said tiredly as she took my hand and pulled me closer to her
I buried my head in her neck and felled asleep..
