Care For You // n. h.

I gulped hard, I knew I shouldn't have said that right after it left my mouth.

"Great! You can just walk with me to my car then, yeah?" He asked me with a huge grin. How was I not supposed to fall for him?

We walked to his car and I told Lisa where I was going and she said just to call her when I was ready.

I got into Niall's car and he flashed that award winning smile at me that made my heart melt.

"Here, if you want you can play music from my phone?" He said handing me his phone. I searched through his library knowing pretty much none of the music. I was pretty disconnected so I just looked for something I thought had an interesting name. I played something by The 1975 that was called 'Talk!'.

"Good choice." He said smiling. I felt my heart beat faster and I wanted it to stop. This was so bad.

"So, Alice we have our final tour date in a couple days and I'd love it if you'd come watch. Their always super fun and an awesome experience." He said. I knew I should say no. But I really do love concerts. It can't hurt that bad can it?

"Um... Sure I guess. That sounds fun." I said a little unsure.

"You'll have a great time. You can hang backstage with everyone and it'll be awesome." He said smiling. I nodded and half smiled back. "You can see what it'll be like for when we go on tour."

We pulled up to Foster Freeze and Niall flipped his hood up and we got out of the car.

"Do you like chocolate?" He asked me.

"Yeah." I said curiously.

"Okay, then can we get two large chocolate milkshakes?" He told the man and he nodded. I was starting to get cold since I was in a tank top and I rubbed my arms to try and warm myself up.

"Your cold?" Niall asked sounding concerned

"I'll be fine." I lied. I wanted him to hug me and warm me up so bad but I know that couldn't happen.

"I would give you my jacket, but I don't want to get spotted." He said feeling bad. I kinda wished I could have his jacket but I tried not to think about it. Then he walked beside me and put his arm around me and tried to warm me up. It felt so good to have my body resting against his with his arm around me. I felt my heart start to melt as I smelt the cologne on his chest.

"Here you go." The man said making Niall let go of me and get our ice cream. He handed me mine and paid the man.

"Thanks, Niall." I said grinning. I sipped from the milkshake and we started walking back to the car. He then once again wrapped his arm around me and tried to make me warmer. It was a cozy feeling. I wanted to go to his room and just fall asleep cuddling with him so so bad.

We got into the car and we sadly had to let go of each other.

"Do you want me to take you home or back to my hotel?" He asked taking his jacket off and handing it to me.

"We can go to your hotel." I said disregarding Jim's warning. I don't care anymore, what Jim doesn't know won't hurt him. Right?

On our drive back we made small talk and shared laughs. His jacket was so cozy and I was happy he let me borrow it. Even though his car was warm I kept it on.

We arrived at his hotel and he covered his face with a hat he got from the backseat.

We got into his room and he invited me to sit on his couch.

"Well, it seems much cleaner in here then it was last time." I said smiling at him.

"Yeah, well I couldn't have it look like a mess if I was going to have you comin' on over again." He said sitting on the couch. I sat next to him and I smiled foolishly.

You know that feeling when your with someone and you just desperately want to be touching them or holding them? Their just so close to you but they could be so far away in reality. Thats what I was feeling right now. I just wanted to jump onto him and wrap my arms around his waist and let my head rest on his chest.

We sat facing each other and I couldn't stop myself from just staring. There was a moment of silence before Niall started making a weird face and I moved away. He sneezed and broke the silence that we had.

He made a really funny face while he sneezed so I couldn't stop myself from laughing a bit.

"Allergies?" I said still laughing.

"Yeah. I'm probably allergic to you." He teased making himself laugh. By the look on his face he obviously thought he was the funniest guy alive.

His laughter was interrupted by another sneeze and I couldn't resist from laughing again.

"Well, I guess it allergy season then." I said as we both started laughing. I'm not sure why we were both laughing so hard, but afterwards my stomach hurt from laughing.

"I don't think I've ever laughed so much." Niall said still laughing.

"After this, my cheeks are gonna hurt from smiling too much." I said in response. I massaged my cheeks and I let my smile drop and it immediately felt weird. This made Niall start laughing even harder.

"I'm so happy your part of our team now. I'm more excited then ever to start touring again because now you'll be there." He said as we both stopped laughing and he gave me a genuine smile.

"I'm happy too, because of this all I've gotten to meet you and your one of the first real friends I've made since I moved here." I admitted feeling a little embarrassed.

"I can't see why, your absolutely amazing in every way. Who wouldn't want to be your friend?" He said making me blush. My heart was beating again and I knew I was starting to fall for him. I can't help my feelings. If I like someone then I like them and thats that. I can't stop the inevitable.

"Your too sweet, oh my gosh." I said smiling at the floor. I looked back up at him and he was staring at me with those middle-school-crush eyes. My heart started beating crazy fast.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" He asked me with a slight grin.

"Sure." I said sipping my milkshake. He stood and took a DVD out of its container and pushed it in.

"Have you ever seen the movie, While You Were Sleeping?" He asked sitting back on the couch.

"No, I'm not a big movie person." I said.

"Well, its a fantastic movie, so hopefully you'll enjoy it." He said scooting closer to me. We were almost touching now. I then felt his arm around me. My heart was racing now. I rested my head in the crook of his neck and I felt myself blushing a bit. This felt so perfect. I was so cozy inside his arms. I wished I could just stay here forever. Then I wouldn't have to worry about Jim attacking me for my feelings.
