Chapter 42: The game master

Alices pov

Since Niall and i never really hang out i invited him to come play video games with me.

He agreed but said he had to go practice with his band first. Im waiting at my house now and i have my xbox ready and everything but for some reason im really nervous.

Its just niall and we are just gonna play Call of duty and eat pizza. Maybe some minecraft...

I wait for about half an hour then i hear a knock on my door. My mom is working late so niall can stay hear late.

He walks in with two pizza boxes. I cheer and niall smiles. "Sorry im late. Practice ran later than expected." niall said.

"its fine." I replied, "First on the list, video games." I said getting up to start Call Of Duty while Niall went to find plates for the pizza.

I finally got the game ready and called Niall over. "Alright I don't know if your good at this but I'm pretty good at this game so don't be shocked when i win. " I told Niall.

"Is that a challenge? Because if it is, I'm gonna win." He said. I laughed. No one ever beats me in video games. Not even my guy friends.

"What's so funny?" He asked confused. "No one ever beat me." I replied. He pouted and I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. What the fuck is this..

We started the game and so far I'm winning. Niall was really into the game that he hasn't taken a bite out of his second pizza.

I on the other hand was multitasking. I had my game controller on one hand and a pizza slice on the other.

We had about 30 seconds left and i was one point ahead.

I was looking for niall to shoot him one last time before the clock ran out. He was good at hiding but I'll find him. Then all of a sudden, I was killed right when the time ran out.

"Damn it! But we are tied." I said. At least he didn't beat me. "But I was close to beating you wasn't I?" Niall replied with a smirk. "Shut up and eat your pizza." I said shoving his slice in his mouth.

He took the pizza out of his mouth and bit it. I reached over to grab my second slice of pizza.

"'"'"'"'"""""""""""""""""""""""'"""""""""""""

For two hours niall and i played video games. When we got bored we started talking about stuff and ourselves.

He talked about his band and his British friends. Niall isn't british hes irish. He talked about their songs and things like that.

I didn't really know what to say about myself there wasn't much really. He already knew the girls and guys so...

"Alice?" Niall started.

"Yeah."

"Are we dating?" My heart started beating faster. I didn't know what to say! "Um,i don't know are we?" Ha, curve ball.

"Alice, do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked me scratching the back of his head. "Yeah." I said simply.

Niall and i are really relaxed and lazy. We are gonna be a lazy gamer couple. Squad is gonna freak out.

After another hour of chilling niall said he had to go home. I got sad but smiled and said ok. We got up from my couch and walked to the door.

"Do you want to take any leftover pizza?" I ask. He shakes his head no. "Then take it for the guys." I says smiling and handing him a box.
