The Best Years Of Our Lives

~Part Seven~

Becka’s POV.

I was so surprised with Niall’s actions I thought I might have imagined it all. Yet there was Georgina, stepping off the stage in a daze. Francesca, Alisha and Codie rushed over to give her a hug as Niall begun to play the guitar.

‘What the hell just happened?’ Dani asked. I was too dumbfounded to reply so I just shrugged and focused on the boys. Liam had stepped forward and I couldn’t help but smile; he was such a sweet boy. I wondered if he would actually have a drink with us tonight.

‘I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing, just praying to a God that I don’t believe in.’ He begun, his voice strong and clear. I cheered loudly; I loved watching them perform and Break Even was one of my all time favourite songs. As Liam finished his verse he looked at me and I smiled back.

‘…I’m falling to pieces,’ I couldn’t help but laugh at Harry’s cheeky smile as he got through the chorus flawlessly. He was clearly singing to one girl in particular and I saw Francesca blushing from the corner of my eye. It was an outstanding performance as always and we were treated to a couple more - everyone’s favourite Torn and another new cover of Iris.

As Niall got off the stage at the end I gave him a big hug, once again wishing him a happy birthday.

‘Hold on, I want to know something first.’ I grabbed his arm before he managed to escape into the crowd. ‘Are you serious with Georgina?’

He looked me straight in the eye. ’We’ll see how it goes.’

‘Niall…’ I sighed. ‘If you play her, you’re gonna piss off a lot of people.’

‘I won’t, I promise.’ he said seriously. ‘When I kissed Martina, it wasn’t like what it felt just then. I will honestly give it my best shot.’

‘I hope so.’ I said as he disappeared into the crowd. I was about to go over to the girls, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. As I turned round I nearly hit Liam in the face, he was standing so close behind me. He held my arm to steady me.

‘Sorry about that.’ I giggled. ‘You were brillaint by the way.’

‘Thank you very much.’ he smiled and I noticed that he was holding an empty bottle in his hand.

‘What’s that for?’ I asked, pointing to it.

‘I thought we could play a game.’ he looked so mischievous when he said it, I thought he must have been joking.

‘Spin the bottle?’ I said disbelievingly when I realised that he was being serious.

‘You don’t think I’m the kind of boy who’d do something like that.’ he concluded.

‘I didn’t say that.’

‘But you were thinking it.’ he replied, his dark eyes boring into mine - we were the same height as I was in my heels. Liam was one of the most innocent boys I knew, the complete opposite of my usual type yet I felt strangely attracted to him.

‘Prove me wrong.’ I whispered, only inches away from him. I had about two seconds to think about my words when his mouth came down over mine. I was so amazed I nearly fell backwards, but he put his arms round me and I leaned into him. I placed my arms round his neck as he held my waist. There was no doubt about it; he was an amazing kisser.

‘Okay, you win that one.’ I said breathless as we broke away. This was a truly different side to Liam and I liked it. He smiled, playing with my fingers.

‘Still think we shouldn’t play?’ he asked.

‘I think we most definitely should.’ I answered.
