Real (Niall Horan Love Story)

Blue Eyes- Chapter 6

AUTHORS NOTE: This might be kind of a boring chapter but I promise, it'll get better.(: I can't write without shaking I'm so excited to the parts I really want to get to!

-MADI'S POV-

I woke up and instantly felt the missing warmth I had next to me all night. "Niall?" I walked to the kitchen, knowing if he was anywhere in the flat, he would be there. "Niall?" I started to get worried. I don't know why I did, I had lived on my own for about six months. I even looked in the bathroom. *Was yesterday just a dream* It was definitely a possibility. I had crazy dreams about Niall all the time. It was then when I found the sticky note attached to my shoulder. *Well that's not weird*

Dear Madi,

Sorry I had to leave early, the lads were worrying about me. I found out after you had dozed off that we're taking a 2 week break here. Text me when you wake up!

I quickly pulled out my phone and entered the number Niall had left on the note. *Knew it was too real.* How had that happened? It was all so surreal. Was I just imagining all the flirty things Niall said? There was no way a guy like him would want a girl like me. I was short, not exactly thin (despite everyone's justifications saying im "just muscular from a decade of playing softball"), and just not all around pretty. *No, there's no way he actually likes you. You can't fall for him. You'll just get hurt.* I mentally lectured myself. I still couldn't forget the red in Niall's cheeks when the fan had caught us backstage after the concert.

I reached my hand up and lightly brushed the spot where his lips had touched my forehead. "I promise." I heard his voice. His eyes seemed to be pleading me to believe his words. His eyes. I always fell for a guys eyes but his, they were so different. They were like two swirling, magnificent pools of the deepest, brightest blue. They seemed to smile when he smiled, clouded over when he was sad. *Stop it, you can't fall for him or his stupid eyes.* I dropped my phone, deciding not to text Niall.

-NIALL'S POV-

"Don't look so down, mate! She'll come around! Probably a late sleeper." Liam comforted. I was glad he had taken notice, I was really worried about Madi. She hadn't texted me yet and it was about noon. "How about we try to find a Nando's?" I scoffed at his effort to cheer me up. We were in America, Li, they only have ONE Nando's and it's two thousand miles away.

"Madi said there wasn't one last night." Just saying her name made my stomach flip. She was beautiful, funny, laid-back, all of it. She was athletic which I really enjoyed. Even her taste in music. She loved country and had shown me some of her favorite artists last night. They were really good.

"When you hear that steel guitar and the drums booming in the background, there's nothing better. I can't help but stomp my foot along sometimes. The music just...moves me." she had said. And Madi was right, the music really had a way of moving you. The way her eyes shined when some catchy song came on the radio was stunning. Oh her eyes, they were the prettiest things I've ever seen. Every time I looked into her deep blue orbs my heart swelled. I could get lost in them forever.

"There we go, there's that grin I wanted to see!" I didn't realize I was smiling until Liam said something. I guess I really did like her. I knew there was something different about her from the moment I saw her.

"NIALL'S DAYDREAMING ABOUT MADI!" Lou announced to everyone within a two mile radios. I felt my cheeks get red but I didn't stop him, all the boys knew.

"Ah come on Lou, give the lad a break. It's not everyday he finds his princess." What did Zayn mean?? "Wha-what?"

"Oh Ni, she's perfect!" Louis stated. He was right, and if anyone knew, it was him. I always went to him with girl stuff. "Well...I know..." I did know. I had met the girl not twenty four hours ago and I was already falling.

"Then whats the wait? Tell her!" Harry had joined the conversation. *Easy for him to say, he's the ladies man.* Haz had gotten Christies number last night, even though she was in a relationship. "It's not that easy." I got baffled looks all around.

"How so?"

"What if...what if she doesn't like me?" I confessed.

"Are you stupid?!" Louis was screaming as loud as he possibly could. "What?"

"She's totally into you brah!" Zayn's American accent was horrible.

"And how do you know that." The room went silent.

"Well there's only one way to know for sure..." Liam piped in again. "And what's that."

"Take her on a few dates, then do what every girl dreams of a guy doing." He was up to something. "Exactly what is that?"

"You'll see."

*Oh God what was he planning.*
