Hard Past, New Future

Chapter 4 - A day with Niall

I woke up to the sound of the boys rummaging in the kitchen, getting ready for the waterpark. I didn't want to get up yet, so I stayed in bed. I layed there just staring at the ceiling, so I decided to check my phone. 1 text from Niall. I opened the messaging app. The message read " I don't know man, I really love her but I'm just not brave enough to tell her, maybe tomorrow Ill build up the courage to admit it to her.. I hope she feels the same way"

I'm about 99.9% sure that this message was NOT meant for me! Second of all I feel that this message may be about me.. First the tweet, now this. I don't know how to react. Ill just delete the message and see how it goes on from here...

I finally got out of bed and got into my lazy day clothes. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and went to the kitchen. Everyone was gone, even Niall wasn't there. I guess he's still sleeping, I thought. As I went to the cupboard to find cereal, hands covered my eyes. "Guess Who?" His thick Irish accent gave it away. "Umm.. Let me see, NIALLER!" I said as I spun around and gave him a funny look. We laughed and got our cereal. We both got out our favourite, lucky charms. Grabbing our bowls, we went to Niall's room. We would've went to the living room, but Niall has an Xbox in his room with an 80 inch TV. "What game should we play?" "CALL OF DUTY!" We both shouted at the same time. Smiling at each other, he slid in the disk.

I swear we played for at least 2 1/2 hours, but so worth it since I was with Niall. During the final kill cam, Niall asked "Do you want to do something else now?" I added "It doesn't matter! What ever you want to do!" He nodded and suggested we go downstairs and play pool. " Sounds like fun." I said. First, we grabbed a couple bags of chips and cans of pop, then we went downstairs. Me & Niall can not LIVE without junk food. It's one of the things we have in common, next to how we both love scary movies & McDonald's &.. Anyways! We got everything set up for the game. I actually am NOT good at pool at all! But I didn't want to tell Niall that! So I just went with it.

We finished the first game and Niall won. I didn't even sink 1 ball! "Have you played pool much before?" He asked. I nodded no. "I'll help you out this next game." He smiled. He took his first hit. When it came to be my turn he came up behind me and guided my hands on the right place and where to aim. But I couldn't focus 1 bit. His strong arms around me. His sparkling blue eyes, gleaming as he spoke. I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Nialls POV

She's. just. Perfect!

I know I'm supposed to be helping her out but I can't concentrate! Her emerald green eyes, staring into mine. Her wavy, brunette hair cascading down her shoulders, and that smile.. She's the definition of beauty in my eyes.

Katrina's POV

I don't even think he's focusing either.

He was looking into my eyes, his stuttering words came to a stop. We just stood there looking at each other. He began to lean in, I was unsure of what to do!! My mind was flustered! * You know you like him! Just kiss the boy! * but my body was hesitant. We were soon face to face. He closed his eyes and leaned more, I did the same. Just as we were just a few millimetres away from our lips touching, the boys came back. We flinched at the sound of the door opening and closing shut. We sort of turned away awkwardly due to the moment just before, being interrupted..

"That was awesome!!!!!" Liam exclaimed skipping down the stairs, coming towards us. "Niall! They even have a new waterslide there!" Niall nodded with a smirk. "Nice!" He added. Zayn soon came down as well. "What did you guys do when we were gone? Anything we should know about!" He spoke with a wink. "Oh shut up Zayn!" Niall said and hit him in the shoulder gently. They laughed.

I couldn't get the moment me & Niall shared out of my head. Oh how I wish that the boys could've came back 5 minutes later!! I think it's safe to admit now.. I, really like Niall, a lot... But I'm just too shy to do something about it! I would love to start to have a closer relationship with him. I just have to be able to do that without being to clingy and straight forward. Ill think about it tonight..
