Little Things (1D Fan Short Story)

6. The Meeting - By Heba Hamza

(Hi guys... I have something special to say before you go to the story. This story is not written by ME. Sorry if I disappoint you but the good news is that, this was my 21st birthday gift from a very talented friend of mine and it's really touchy. I'm on the process of convincing her to start a writing career in Wattpad but this is a good start. Hope you will enjoy this and please comment to encourage her. And yap... she is good. Right! Off you go...)

You were studying for photography in your country.Soon you wanted to explore the world so after your graduation,you applied for a job. You are ready to live anywhere because what you really wanted is to live in your dream.

1 month later

You were selected as a photographer for National Geography in London.You always wanted to go to London and finally your dream came true. And also you adored London for one more reason because you are a DIRECTIONER...!!. Every directioners' dream is to meet the boys. So you waited for your luck to come .

1 week later

You were currently sitting on your comfortable chair at your house.The job was neither hard nor easy.You glanced at the clock to see its 5:30pm. You thought of going for a walk around London because you haven't got a free time to tour all over London. Sitting at your apartment will only give you home sickness.You miss your home too much.So this might be the best reason to get out from the apartment.You changed into something classy and comfy.You weren't a fan of make-up. Your simple make up is described as a small amount of eyeliner on your eyes. But now you didn't even want that. You grabbed your phone and headed towards the town.You thought of going to the park nearby.On the way to the park you went to Starbucks and ordered your coffee.

You were walking in the park looking at children playing, running here and there. You smiled at the memories when you were one of them running, jumping and doing all those childish stuff. Suddenly you bumped into someone. The coffee on your hand spilled onto your dress. You looked up to see a familiar face.Soon you realized you bumped into Niall Horan,member of One Direction. It was like a moment described in a fanfic.You stared at him for a couple of seconds.

"I am so sorry..." he said. "Its alright" you said back smiling.

But you can say that he wasn't convinced by your answer. He looked at you when a small smile made way to his lips.You could see he is thinking.

"Um..yeah..um..I'm Niall." He said with a small smile."I know." You said.

You felt like you were sarcastic."By the way.. I'm (Y/N)"

"I'm so sorry. I was so careless. I didn't mean to do it. I'm so sorry". He kept on rambling. Is he always like this when something accidently happens?? You thought to yourself. "Its okay Niall".

A small blush crept on your face as soon as the words left your mouth. He gave you a toothy grin.

"Can I take you on a walk..to get to know you better?"

You nodded. The next half an hour you walked with him introducing each other,talking and laughing at nothing.You were walking back to your apartment with Niall. He insisted coming with you. You couldn't help but say yes. You reached to your doorstep and turned back to see Niall looking at you.You smiled.You opened the door and invited him inside.The next hour you enjoyed each others company. Instantly you both became best friends. Soon he got a call asking to come back. He walked towards the door and you followed him.

"It was nice meeting you". He said smiling. "You too" You said.

He scratched the back of his neck.You could say he was nervous."Um...can..you..um...nothing. nevermind" he said. You wanted to know what it was."What? Say Niall what you want?".You said with a small smile on your lips.

"Um..could you give your number?" he asked.You stood there fangirling the moment in your head. Niall freaking Horan asked your number. Give...give...give..give...is the only words circling in your mind. "Uh..sure" you exchanged the numbers and said goodbye. This was the best moment of your life.

1 year later

Niall wasn't a guy like some fanfic describes. Since the day you met, you both remained best friends. He would never leave you. It's sad that you start to have feelings for him but you can't express it. You know you would get a lot of hate. He might not like you back because you are not too beautiful like the other girls he has dated. But your heart's saying he has the same feelings for you. You knew he was dating a girl right now so that you have no chance. There were too many hate towards her. But honestly you liked her. You knew she would treat him properly.

One day you were working on your photographs that you took 1 week before. Niall had finished his tour. When he had 1 week off he used to visit you. You missed him so much that you wanted to see him. Soon you heard a knock on the door. You got up and walked towards the door. You opened the door to see a sad looking Niall standing in front of you. He had red puffy eyes, his hair looks a mess. You could say something was wrong. You called him inside. You stopped your work and joined him on the couch. He was not the Niall you met. There was something bothering him. You kept your hand on his shoulder. He looked up. The next thing you knew was he's hugging you. This wasn't the hug the normal friends would give. There was a special meaning to it. But you couldn't say what it was.

"Sh-she u-used m-me". This was the only words he said.

You were shocked to hear that.

"I'm sorry" You said. For a few minutes you both sat in silence.

"I have someone on my mind". He blurted. You looked at him. You stared at his blue eyes. There was something hidden in it. Something you wanted to know. Something that you are about to hear.

"I like a girl but i don't know whether she likes me back" he said.

"Who wouldn't like you back Niall?" You said. Deep in your heart you wanted to be that girl. But you convinced yourself that it's not you.

"I don't how to ask her out. But i don't want to take her on a date. We have gone many places but not as a date. But for me they were all dates."

"Go for it Ni, go for it. I say she likes you back. Infact she loves you".

"Do you think she loves me back?" He asked. You nodded. He got up and walked towards the balcony. You followed him. You looked up to see the stars sparkling. You turned to look at Niall whose gaze was fixed on you. "You are really beautiful (Y/N)" he said with a smile. You blushed.

"Can I ask you something?" He asked. "Shoot". "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. "What??!!" You looked at him. His eyes were having a small hope that you would say yes.

"The moment I saw you I knew you were something special. I always wanted you to be mine but i thought you don't want me. When I was dating her, I felt something is missing but i didn't know what it was. But now I know you are the one who stole my heart. So will you be my girlfriend?"He asked hopefully. You thought about yourself. Your parents would support you no matter what. But you are scared you will lose him. He might let you go.

"I had the same feeling when I met you but i don't know what if I lose or what if I couldn't fulfil your wishes?" You said.

"It doesn't matter. I have you, you have me. I won't let you go no matter how hard the situation is."

"Then it's a yes" You said looking right into his blue eyes which is now sparkling. He closed the gap between you by placing his lips on top of yours. You feel the butterflies in your stomach and something sparkling when he touched you. He smiled throughout the kiss. You pulled back and stared at each other's' eyes saying the words you have been dreading to hear.

"I love you...."
