**Niall's POV**

Louis didn't bring up my love life again, choosing instead to obsess over that boy band, One Direction.  It had been two weeks and already Louis was completely obsessed.  He had me listen to them practically all the time, and I had to admit their music was pretty good.  I could see why Louis liked them so much, I just didn't see the point of obsessing over people you were, most likely, never going to meet.

We were currently in Louis' car, listening to One Direction, as usual, on our way back from Uni.  That's how Lou and i met, at Uni I mean.  We had been roomed together first year and had been inseparable ever since.  We were best mates, we got on well from the start.  The only reason he didn't share a flat with me now is because his mom wanted Louis to look after his cousin, Eleanor.  So he moved into a flat with her instead, but I didn't mind.  Sometimes I preferred coming home to an empty flat, and if I ever get lonely i just walk over to Louis and Eleanor's, since they lived just a couple blocks away.

"I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy!"  Louis sang along loudly with the music blasting out of the speakers as we parked in the first available spot in the Nando's parking lot.

"NANDOS!"  I shout happily and I jump (nearly fall) out of the car to get there as quick as i could.  This was my favorite place in the world!  I loved Nando's.

Louis laughed happily at me, but mimicked me anyway, hoping out of the car and linking arms with me as we skip into the restaurant.  Right as we sit down What Makes You Beautiful, One Direction's biggest hit, came on the radio and Louis grinned at me.  I laughed and shook my head.  They would play this right when we got there.  Louis loudly began to sing along with his favorite band.

You're insecure, don't know what for.  You're turning heads when you walk throgugh the door-or-or!

I laughed but decided to sing along anyway.

Don't need makeup to cover up.  Being the way that you are is enou-ou-ough!

Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you-ooo

I felt people staring at us, but i didn't care.  I was having way too much fun to care what some random people in a restaurant think about me.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else.  The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tel, you don't know-oh-oh, you don't know your beautiful!

Out of the corner of my eye i saw someone in a gray hoodie and sunglasses enter the restaurant.  He looked over at me and Lou and just stood there, mouth open, sttaring at us.  I'm not sure why, but I felt like I knew him.  He seemed very familiar.

If only you saw what I can see, you'd understand why I want you so desperately!  Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, you don't know-oh-oh! You don't know you're beautiful-ul-ul! That's what makes you beautiful!

Louis and i c\started laughing too loudly for us to continue singing, so we just stopped.  I heard clapping and we looked up to see practically the entire restaurant laughing and cheering for us.  I went bright pink, but Louis practically glowed.  He grabbed my hand and we stood up, taking a very exagggerated bow.  We were laughing so hard we couldn't say anything and I didn't really know why.

"I wish Dani could have gotten us tickets for this weekend.  I don't know when they'll be back!"  Louis pouted dramatically.

I laughed at his expression.  Well whenever they do come back we can go see them, yeah?"

Louis perked up immediately.  "You promise to come with me?"

"Promise."

The waitress came over and took our orders, but i ignored her and looked for that weirdly familiar guy I saw watching us earlier.  I found him standing by the door, still staring at us.  I frowned, wondering both why he looked so familiar and why he was staring at Louis and me.  At least, I think he was staring at us.  His glasses hid his face so i couldn't really tell.

"I'm gonna go piss, alright?"  Louis hopped up and wobbled away, holding himself.

I laughed a bit and started playing on my phone. My food wasn't here yet so i didn't rreally have much left to do that didn't make me look pretty pathetic.  I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into extremely familiar brown eyes. Now i knew why the guy in the hoodie looked so familiar.

"Liam?"
