first impression (a Niall Horan fanfic)

chapter 9

-Hayley's POV-

It had just turned 8:00 a.m. when the same skinny blonde nurse entered my room. I heard learned her name was Taylor and that she loved to run, which explained why she was so skinny. Taylor had taken out my IV and said I could change into my own sweats that my mom had bought from the sports store. I had to stay in the hospital until the afternoon. The doctor would by then stop by and make sure I was cleared to go. I came out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth and crawled onto the uncomfortable bed. I layed on my stomach and propped my head up with my hands as I flicked the TV to some romantic comedy movie. Mom refused to enter the hospital until this afternoon with the doctor which was more than fine with me.

I heard a knock on my door and I turned to see Taylor standing in the doorway. I smiled at her and asked what was up.

"That boy, uhm Niall I think, he called and asked what you'd want from Starbucks. He also said he's not going to take nothing as an answer." She giggled as she explained the situation to me. I gave myself a facepalm before telling her a caramel frappe. She disappeared back to the desk to tell Niall my order.

I pulled myself off the bed to walk over to the window. It had a real nice view of the Kansas City sky line. I thought about Niall and how crazy this whole thing was. I crossed my arms as I looked down at the people below.

I stood there for a ling while before I felt something tickle my right side. I was probably the most ticklish person ever so I couldn't stop myself from laughing and squirming from side to side. I swatted at the hand before turning to see Niall laughing with my frappe in his free hand.

"Asshole." I laughed taking the frappe he had extended out to me. His uncontrollable laughter was contagious and I couldn't help but laugh too. And then somehow I had let my snort escape which only caused Niall to laugh even harder. After we finally calmed down enough to breathe I took a sip of frappe. Niall was still chuckling, "what?" I asked with a giggle.

"You're laugh, the snort," he started.

"what about it?" I asked.

"It's adorable." he explained more calmly. I could feel my cheeks blush and I smiled uncontrollable.

"oh, uhm, well thanks." I said looking at him with my stupid grin. I sat myself on the edge of the bed and criss crossed my legs. "Well, hey, how are the boys?" I asked turning my attention away from the movie that was still playing.

"Oh they're doing good. They wanna come by before you leave." Niall answered while seating himself in a nearby chair. He flashed a smile and I couldn't help but fangirl inside. He was gorgeous. Perfect. He was Niall.

I smiled and I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks, "Uhm, yeah, that'd be cool."

-Niall's POV-

Her cheeks flushed pink while she smiled down at her phone before returning her attention to the movie. Her hair was drapped over her right shoulder. I kept replaying her laugh in my mind. She was just adorable and seemed so innocent.

"What?" Hayley said bringing me back from my thoughts, "Do I have something on my face?" she said while wiping at her cheeks. I laughed lightly. "No," I replied, "I just loved your facial expression." she gave me a confused look. "your focus on the movie was intense."

She rolled her eyes and laughed, "it's a good movie!" I simply shrugged my shoulders. "whatever." she laughed before scooting over more to the right. She looked at me and patted the open space beside her, "believe it or not the bed is more comfortable." she flashed me a smile. She had to have had braces her teeth were perfectly straight.

I stood up and walked over to the bed. She watched me with her big beautiful eyes as I squirmed until I was finally comfortable. She laughed and extended her hand with the remote to me.

"You pick." She said smiling. I shook my head. "Oh c'mon, " she nudged my arm, "you were complaining now I'm being nice and letting you pick. I'm usually not very nice so take advantage of this."

I sighed as I reached for the remote. I felt warmth shoot through my arm as my fingertips brushed hers. She kept her grasp for a little longer before dropping her hand to the bed. I felt my cheeks begin to burn as I held back a smile.
