Yvonne's Pov -
Niall and I have been best friends since he moved to Dublin from Mullingar two years ago . I was twelve at the time and he was thirteen . In those two years we had formed an unbreakable bond. We did everything together and told each other everything.
One Saturday , well technically Sunday , at half past four in the morning I was awoken to the sound of pebbles hitting my window . I got out of bed and went over to the window to find Niall waiting outside impatiently . This was a usual occurrence Niall would wake me up at half twelve asking me to stay over or that his parents were gone on a date and he was lonely.
"Oh Yvonne , finally " he sighed "Come on were going to the park " he stated.
I started down at him , he was wearing an Ireland jersey and black jeans . "Maybe I don't want to go to the park " I smirked, "and wait why are we even going to the park at ".I looked at my phone which was charging on the table beside the window "half four in the morning ? " I asked
"Look ill explain on the way , just get dressed and come on and don't tell your parents " I nodded .
I closed the curtains before grabbing a pair of skinny jeans and a jumper (sweater) and I pulled on my converse . I slowly crept down stairs before unlocking and closing the door . Niall stood in the porch looking around anxiously.
"Finally" he smiled sarcastically "now lets go" .
"So why am I awake at half four missing out on my beauty sleep ?" I questioned .
"Well I think you've slept long enough " he smiled .
What was that supposed to mean ?
"Eh what ? I only fell asleep at three because I was too busy watching Zac Efron movies " I half laughed .
"No I meant , uhh never mind" he said shaking his head and mumbling the last bit .
"So now will you tell me why were going to the park ?" I said .
"I need your advice"
"And I couldn't of gave you advice at home in my warm bed ? Or better yet when I'm actually awake"
"No because i've been too nervous to sleep all night and you give the best advice " He smiled
"I know right" I laughed .
We continued walking to the park which took less then two minutes seen as we lived in the middle of the town . When we entered the park I ran straight for the swing and sat down on it . Niall took his time walking over and sat down on the other one beside me . "So Niall what seems to be the problem " I asked
"Well I think I like this girl but I'm not sure " .
My heart litterly shattered inside my chest Niall likes someone ? Oh my God . I guess you could say over the two years we've been friends I've started to fall for him and hard at that . I just never got the courage to tell him how I felt because I was scared of being rejected .
"Okay" I said spinning around in the swing . "Well why do you think you like her ? " I asked .
"Well " , He thought for a second . "Shes the first person I wanna snapchat in the morning , but I only do the chat not the snap because I don't want her seeing me because I look like crap in the morning" he laughed
"and I also notice myself wanting to look better for her ya know like wearing jeans instead of sweats and I get this really tingly feeling in side of me when I talk to her or when she texts me first and I feel really like - jealous when another boy is around her like I feel I should be the only boy who can talk to her like that and make her smile and laugh .
I smile up at him and say ,
"Niall I don't think you like this girl" his eyebrows scrunch together "Wait what ? Really ? "
"Yup , I think your in love with this girl Niall"
His eyes get wide
"No way no , how did you come to the conclusion ? I think I just like her , a lot . "
"Well your eyes lit up when you were talking about her earlier and you couldn't keep that grin off your face " .
"Okay , well what am I supposed to do now ? " he questioned the look in his eyes showed just how anxious he was .
"Well how long have you been friends ?" I asked "Almost two years " he replied
"Oh so you've known her since you've got here" I asked , fuck Niall has known this girl a long time and he's in fucken love with her and she probably feels the same I mean who doesn't love Niall , he's charming funny caring , everything you could want .
"Yah pretty much but I think ive been friend zoned Yvonne ."
Yes , get in ; okay that was mean .
He stopped to take out his phone which was the black iPhone 4s . He unlocked it and I assumed he opened an app and started scrolling down . He turned the phone around to face me and said ,
"Look , I go 'Hey :)'and she replies 'hey buddy :)), like buddy ? "
I see he's opened in the messenger app , and I look to the top of the screen to see the name of this mysterious girl he's been texting .
My heart stops when I see the name 'Yvonne Parker ' I grab the phone out of his hands and stare intently at the name just to make sure I'm not hallucinating ; in the mean time Niall is shouting at me , telling me to give him his phone back .I hand him his phone .
"You are aware your opened in our chat ? " I question picking me nails anxiously . He sighs , "yes" he mutters . My heart feels like its about to explode but I try to keep cool . I look down at him , his head is turned to the ground and his hands are in his lap .
"Niall " I say "Look at me" he turns his head and stares into my eyes waiting for me to talk , instead I lean forward and press my lips to his , he's shocked at first but then starts kissing back its a slow and gentle kiss . He finally breaks it , out of breath . I cant keep the smile off my face and neither can he .
"That was unexpected " he says smiling once again . I smile back at him not knowing what to say .
"So Yvonne does this mean you feel the same way ?" He asks quietly . I quickly reply
"Yes of course Niall"
He grins at me and says
"I know this is cringey as fuck but I really don't care . Yvonne I , I love you and I knew I had to keep you by my side since the day I laid eyes on you when you shouted at me , in this park for not giving your football back right away ."
I laughed thinking back to the time I first met Niall .Me and my friends from school most of then being boys seen as I was a major 'tom boy' back when I was thirteen ; were playing football in the park one of the lads hit the ball away .
The ball landed at Niall's feet so he picked it up and started doing loads of tricks so I started shouting at him because I wanted to get back to playing the match .
"I remember that , you were trying to show off in front of the lads " I say . "No" he replied "I was showing off for you " . I smiled and half laughed he leaned in to kiss me .
"I love you Yvonne" he said "And I love you too Ni "
