Steal My Girl Series : LIGHT | Niall Horan

nine.

A week of hard work and rehearsals is tiring I tell you. But co-directing this play with Casper was great. And to my surprise, I got to memorize all the lines of the script, may it be just comments and everything in between.

Getting to work more with Casper, I learned more things about her. Casper had not done a lot of things in her life. She was too afraid to do so or her parents would tell her that it is a bad idea.

This week I get to learn that Casper hadn't been inside the theaters. It was one thing on her list that she wanted to do before graduating and I being Niall wanted to make that happen.

I gathered some of the people she got close to during the span of a month and a half. It was Anne, Dianna, Stella and Carlo.

I told them that we should go out and watch a movie. They all agreed and I was the one that will say the news to Casper.

A day went by and rehearsals and classes were done so I got to talk to Casper.

"Hey Cas," I started. Yeah, I gave myself the privilege to call her Cas.

"What?" She said. Her voice is now clear unlike the first time we heard her talk.

"We are planning to watch a movie tonight. Do you want to come with us?" I asked.

"I would love to Niall. Thanks for asking me." she said. The thing about Casper now is she is always on the go. She likes trying everything out. But her only condition was to drop her off her house by the end of the day which I agreed on. She is my responsibility anyways.

"Fetch you up at 7 maybe?" I smiled at her.

"Sure." She smiled sweetly and had gone out separate ways.

I got home being nervous at all because of the movie date later. Well, I didn't know why I got all nervous but it was a first. I never got nervous before.

I was constantly looking at the clock as I sat into a sofa in our apartment. I was sweating out and I had to change my shirt because it was partly drenched in sweat.

I got my gray shirt but changed it again because I thought I might sweat out again like crazy later so I have to change into something darker like black.

It was past 6:30 when I decided to get out and fetch everyone. I got to fetch Stacy, Annie and Carlo before Casper. Her house is farther than of us because she leaves with her parent and they didn't want her to leave. Stella and her boyfriend Harry would go by themselves.

We got a little late on fetching Casper because Annie, being Annie was dressing up a little too long. We have to wait a solid 15 more minutes for her.

When we arrived at Casper's house, I was the one who went down to fetch her from her house. I walked into their lawn talking to myself.

I knocked on the door and her father was the one who greeted me. I was kind of a regular in their house so his father's attitude towards me changed. He is much more loving and he calls me son. He was very thankful for what I did to her daughter. So he likes me apparently.

Casper just appeared on the halls wearing the blue dress I bought her which is a beautiful fit. I felt my stomach clench and my jaw drop but I redeemed myself just in time.

"I'll drop her back before midnight." I said to her father which he replied with a smile. Casper and I walked towards the car with Dianna, Anne and Carlo making howling sounds as if they saw something very eye catching, which is true. Casper is beautiful.

Casper got to sit on the backseat with the ladies and when we were all settled in, I drove our way to the theaters. There were lots of beautiful movies showing but we gave Casper the honors to pick what she wanted. It was her first time after all. She pick 'The Theory of Everything' and we bought tickets together with some foods.

We got inside the theater and to my surprise Carlo had to show some liking with Casper which I don't want. Knowing Carlo, pshhh, don't make me even start with his player moves.

Casper is too precious to break and she is just discovering life. We sat in a row where Carlo snatched the seat beside Casper which I should've sat down. I end up sitting in between Annie and Stella. There were few seats between us but it didn't stop me from looking at them constantly.

Halfway around the movie, I saw Carlo making his moves on her by faking his yawn and stretching his arms so it could land on Casper's. I saw Casper flinched and carefully took Carlo's arms off of her. Way to go Casper.

I saw a few more moves but Casper always turns Carlo down. Haha. It was a funny thought that Carlo would have steal my girl from me when I can't do nothing about it.

Wait, what did I say? My girl? Casper isn't my girl. She is just a friend right? Niall, what is going on? Straighten your thoughts up. Casper isn't your girl, she is just a good friend.

I was battling with myself about the fact that I called Casper my girl in my mind and the thought of if I liked her or not. Then I noticed that the movie had end when the lights on the theater turned on, eating the darkness away.

Then I looked at Casper who was standing up from the seat she has sat upon and fixing her dress neatly. She had her gaze upon me and smiled at me.

It instantly gave me butterflies and I smiled back at her and I felt it was a nervous smile. She looked at me funny but I did my best to flash her another smile and tried to act normal. In that moment I knew, I had fallen for Casper.
