NIALL HORAN. Ahem, what?

MARISSA'S POV:
Today had been a really amazing day. I will admit that probably was greatly influenced by the extreme excitement I had been feeling all day. I had been excited about the possibility that something might happen today. And the only thing I could complain about was that that thing had not happened yet.
Earlier that day...
We were all sitting in the kitchen that morning, after having breakfast, looking for something to do.
"Hey, you boys don't have to work today, what do you want to do?" I asked Harry.
"LET'S GO HAVE A PICNIC IN THE PARK!" Louis exclaimed. It seemed like he had that idea for a long time.
Louis actually didn't wait for a response from any of us, before promptly running over to the fridge, grabbing all the carrots in the fridge (which was a lot, considering he lived there) and running out the door.
"NOSE GOES ON DRIVING!" Louis squealed on his way out, leaving the rest of us cracking up.
END OF FLASHBACK
So that is basically how we ended up at this park.
Louis had to be forced to allow the picnic basket to provide shelter for any other food besides carrots. Shockingly, by now all the carrots were gone.
It was just me and Niall on the picnic blanket right now, on the grass, in the middle of the park. Niall didn't want to leave the food, and I was just relaxing. I admit, I also wanted to see if maybe if I could talk to Niall alone. So far we haven't said anything.
I'm probably just putting too much pressure on myself, I thought. I decided to look around the park and see what everyone else was doing. Louis and Liam were on the seesaw, and Louis was seriously acting like it was the best day of his life. Zayn, Eleanor and Danielle were swinging on the swing set, while Harry and my best friend Sam were trying to start a game of tag.
I smiled and laughed a bit to myself at how lucky I was to have such awesome people around me.
Harry and Sam are completely in deNiall (hehe, see what I did there). They are made for each other and they totally like each other. Why won't they admit it?
Then, I also realized I wasn't really one to talk.
I remembered where I was and looked over to see Niall looking at me, but when I met eyes with him, he quickly looked away. I then realized I had a good conversation topic in mind. I should do that more often, I thought.
"I was thinking that Sam and Harry would make a really cute couple, don't you think?" I asked him. He smiled lightly and kind of laughed to himself, as well.
"Yeah, I've been thinking that for a while now, actually", his Irish accent making it even more flawless.
Oh, why does he have to make me love him so much?
"Ever since we met you girls, we've all been happier. It seems like we're all one big perfect fit". Niall continued, whilst he demonstrated by clasping his fingers together.
" Yeah, it does feel that way. Do you know anyone else who you think might make a cute couple?" I tried to say as casually as possible.
Please get the hint, please get the hint, please get the hint.
His face suddenly got red and he looked down. "Uhm, well, you see... ugh, this is really embarrassing, but uh..." then there was a bit of a pause. "I really think, though... that you and I would."
I swear by this, at that moment I heard the "Hallelujiah" chorus being sung to me from above.
Is this really happening to me? Or is this a dream? Try to wake yourself up, Marissa. It's probably a dream.
At that moment, I then slapped myself across the face, in an attempt to wake myself up. That got a very confused and shocked face from Niall, and then he started laughing. Not at me, but with me. Even though I wasn't laughing yet. But I defnitely was.
After we calmed our laughing down, Niall was still really embarassed about what he had just said about the two of us. "I, I know, it's stupid, but..."
"No, it's not. I feel the exact same way", I said, trying not to shout it at him. Don't seem desperate, don't seem desperate, I was chanting to myself.
Niall's lit up with a sudden burst hope and relief. "You do?!" he said, also trying not to shout. I wondered if he was silently chanting to himself to not seem desperate, too.
"Yeah, I really do. And I hope you don't think I'm just another fangirl. I really do like you".
"I don't think you're like that at all. In fact, I like you because you're different from the other girls. You treat me like a normal person. You keep a clear head, and I just feel... I can't describe in words, when I'm around you".
Niall seemed to snap himself back to reality and began to get self-conscious for a moment. "Sorry, am I getting to cheesy?" he asked, started to sit up from the position he was in.
"You don't have to keep apologizing, it's okay." That seemed to be enough for him to keep him fully engaged in the conversation we were having. But we just sat there, our eyes locked, smiling, immersed in the most comfortable silence ever heard. We began just leaning in for a kiss, when...
"HOW ARE MY CARROTS?!?" Louis bellowed as he marched toward us.
Niall and I burst away from each other instantly, even though the position we were just in wasn't awkward-looking. Well, at least let's hope it wasn't.
"What's up, Louis?" I asked, trying to sound as calm and collected as possible, and not scream at him for ruining a potential moment between me and Niall.
"I need you to fight with me against Hazza. He and Sam are savagely chasing us and tagging us, and I don't want to be tagged!" Louis cried while pouting. "I need your help!"
I laughed a little bit. "Okay," I said, whcih may have sounded comforting in a way. Then I exploded into my ninja stance.
"What shant the coordinates be of the enemy?!" I bellowed, earning an awkward glance from both Louis and Niall. Louis then caught on and with an all-serious face, pointed into the distance. I couldn't really see them but I pretended I did.
We then ran off to go defend the honor of our rights to not be tagged in a game we did not fully sign up to play. While I was running with Louis, so many thoughts were flooding my head.
Niall likes me, Niall likes me, Niall likes me!
Okay, so it was one thought.
But I repeated it in my head so many times.
BWAHAHAHAHA! So, what'd you guys think?! I think that my fingers hurt from typing. i hope you enjoyed, Marissa! Bye guys! :)
Butternut squash and pegasus sponge noodles.
Ahem, what? I thought we were saying bye!
