The Boy With The Blue Eyes

Chapter-18

Niall's POV

"Niall?!"

"Uh? What?"

"Sing?"

We were rehearsing & I apparently had forgotton to sing my part.

"Maybe she's just trying to test me

Wanna see how hard i am gonna work

Wanna see if I can really tell how much she's worth, what you're worth."

My mind went back to last night. The anger that I felt in every cell of my body when I saw those two men trying to force themselves on her. The goosebumps & butterflies when she kissed me on the cheek. I had just stood there on the pavement, stone still, until Paul asked me whether I planned to spend the night standing there & brought my senses back to me.

" Pack up & head to the interview!"

Urgh! I wish I could ask her out on a date today itself but this stupid interview. Tomorrow! Definitely.

"Now remember boys, Louis & Niall you are single." A guy from management briefed us. It was like we were forced to stay single so that we did not lose our "fans."

They did'nt understand that Directioners would love & support us, no matter what.

I sighed & walked towards the car.

Arshi's POV

I switched on the TV and flicked through a few channels. Halli came & sat beside me.

"You all right?" I asked her.

She was sloshed last night. God alone knows how she reached home.

"Yeah." She grinned, running a hand through her messy hair.

"Presenting One Direction." said a voice from the TV. My stomach turned.

Halli nudged me.

"What??!! & where did you get the carrot from?"

"It dropped down from the sky."

"I am sure it did."

"Niall's on TV, you know."

"Yeah. I know."

"He is looking good."

He was. He was wearing a white polo with black jeans & red shoes.

"Yeah."

"Oh c'mon now! Admit it! You like him."

"Do not."

"Then why you blushing like a tomato?"

"Am not."

"You never told me what happened last night."

"So, which of you guys are single?" The interviewer asked. The girls in the audience screamed. My heart starting beating hard. Would he put his hand up? What if he did not? But we arnt dating. But he saved me last night. We almost kissed. Again.

"He put his hand up." Halli pointed at the screen.

Indeed, his & Louis' hand was up.

He was looking around with a sheepish expression on his face.

Why am I sad? We are not dating. We are just friends. Do friends save each other? Do friends put their arms around the waist? Do friends drop each other home? Do friends kiss?

"You look sad." Halli pouted.

"No." I went to my room.

So what if he put his hand up. Why is it that it feels like there is a huge lump in my throat. This. Why did I think we were dating. Just because we almost kissed. He probably does that all the time...........
