More than this

More Than This : Chapter 31 : Right Time

ARI'S POV

That look he had on me didn't feel right at all.

Those cold eyes, looking at me as if he wasn't a part of my life, like he had no plan to comfort me and that I've done something terribly wrong.

On second thought, I actually did. I made a terrible mistake.

Knowing Niall, these were those times that he would hug me and tell me that everything's gonna be alright, but it seems like he didn't even thought about talking to me. As if like he was ragingly mad at me.

I know that I messed up a lot and the next thing that I ever want to happen is for Niall to talk to me on this. So I quickly got out of my room and rushed towards Niall's door. I knocked on his door and expected for him to open it, but in a couple more knocks that I've did, he still didn't opened the door.

Is he trying to ignore me? Does he hate me for what I've done?

NIALL'S POV

"Okay, now this is just bull!"

"Man calm down!"

Calm down? How can I calm down with what happened?

"Niall, they both got drunk. They weren't aware of what happened, meaning they do not know what they've did." Justin said, trying to calm me down, which really wasn't working.

A part of me wanted to believe on what Justin was saying, but with what I saw, I knew that even though they were intoxicated, they still knew what they were doing and the worst part of it is that I think that they liked it – they like what they did.

“Man, I know that I don't have the right to get mad, because me and Ari are just friends – well for her, but I'm not satisfied having it on that level. I want to get closer to her, I want us to be more than just best friends. I've been holding this for months already. Sometimes I just really want to burst out and tell her the truth.”

“Then why wont you go and tell her then?”

“I can't – I'm afraid that she doesn't feel the same way that I do.” Yes, that's right. I'm still confused about Ari. She keeps on giving me these mixed signals, making me unsure.

“Okay man, let's just say you don't tell her and when you didn't, another guy comes into her life and sweeps her of her feet. Now, would you like that?”

“Heck no”

“See, you wont. That's why you should go ahead and tell her now.”

And it got me thinking. Should I tell Ari? It wouldn't hurt to try right?

ARI'S POV

What's wrong with me? What have I gotten into?

Okay, calm down...

Wait, how can I calm down?!

What will Perry say? Is Zayn mad at me? Is Niall okay? Why did he freaked out? Is there something wrong with me?

I paced back and forth in my room, with questions and thoughts running in my head. I feel like my head's going to explode any minute now.

I feel so ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have done that but – I got a little bit tipsy right?

NO! No, I wasn't! I know that I wasn't tipsy. Not at all.

But what can I do? It was him, who made the first move! Not me!
