{ON HOLD} Stole My Heart (A Niall Horan fan fiction)

Chapter 20

A/N
Okay! I'm super duper sorry! I really should have updated sooner! Quite honestly, I had forgotten that Niall asked Cat out. Now I'm totally pumped to begin writing about their date!

Please sit back and enjoy my (probably really crappy) next chapter!

Cat's POV

After Niall had told me that he had just wanted to hang with me by himself, I got a little bit flustered.

"What?" I asked him, but he was staring off into space. Instead of snapping him out of it and asking again I just switched tactics.

"Niall!" I said, hitting his arm slightly.

"Wha? I'm up. I'm awake." He said

I laughed a bit at his reaction.

"I said if you don't need any help in here, I'm gonna go help Liam." I smiled a bit to convince him that's what I said and turned to walk out the door.

Before I got very far, Niall grabbed my hand and prevented me from moving any further. He turned me around so that I was facing him.

"Do you wanna go on a date with me tonight?" He said quickly and quietly.

I was so suprised that I may have dropped my smile slightly, but I soon realized what he had asked and smiled brightly.

"I would love to, Niall." I said just before turning and walking out the door.

Once out of sight and hearing of my bedroom, I ran squealing into the arms of my two best friends.

"SOPHIE! MELANIE! I'M SO HAPPY!" I screamed into their faces. Then I realized that all the boys were staring at me with smirks on their faces.

Soon, they all ran back to my room giggling like little school girls.

"SO?!" I heard them all yell.

The girls and I laughed at them. They were oblivious, but then again, we weren't much better.

The boys were quiet for a few seconds, but soon there was a lot of loud cheering.

They all jogged out of the room like the winning sports team, big smiles on all of their faces. They picked up their stuff, which had been neatly organized in a short amount of time, and began walking out the door.

They said goodbye to us one by one, giving each girl a hug and a kiss on the cheek before walking out the door. At long last, Niall came up to me.

He hugged me and we looked at each other before he waved his hand awkwardly and began to walk by.

"Wait!" I called it him, running out the front door a bit.

Niall stopped and turned around to see what I wanted. When I caught up with him, I gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"See you tonight." I whispered. Then I walked back into the apartment and straight into the interrogating eyes of my two best friends.

"What?" I asked them defensively. They just smirked and rolled their eyes at me.

"Way to be cheesy, Cat" Soph laughed.

I blushed furiously before laughing right along with them.

Niall's POV

"Guys, I'm actually pretty nervous. Do think I under-planned this? What if she doesn't like it? Oh god, what if she decides she doesn't like me?!" I was pacing back and forth like a madman, letting words just slip out of my mouth.

"Dude, calm down. It's just the first date. You guys are really good friends and she totally likes you. Stop worrying about it and just have a good time." Liam said trying to calm me.

He was right. I just needed to take a deep breath and roll with whatever happened.

"Thanks, Liam. That helped loads." I smiled. Deep breaths and calm...

Cat's POV

Dress casual

That was the text I had received from Niall an hour ago. One hour.

I didn't think of myself as the kind of girl who would spend forever looking for a casual outfit to wear on a date. I normally don't even spend this long looking for a nice outfit to wear to some fancy meeting.

"Do I look okay?" I turned to Mel and Soph for what must've been the thirtieth time in the past hour.

"For God's sake, yes! You look fine! Just as you looked fine in the other hundred outfits you showed us!" Mel burst out.

My face flushed from embarrassment. "Sorry. I know I shouldn't be worrying this much, but I'm just so nervous."

"Don't be." Soph said. "Niall obviously likes you and he said to 'dress casual'. If I were you, I would have literally put on yogas and a hoodie. Don't lose your head over this. Trust me, you'll be fine."

I smiled at her warmly before skipping over to my closet, humming a random tune in my head.

When I had found what I wanted to wear, I quickly changed and walked back into the living room. Then I plopped down on the couch to wait for Niall.

A/N

Hola! Thanks for reading this chapter. Sorry to leave you in suspense, but I know that it will be my only motivation to update.

I have big plans for this story, but I honestly don't know how to piece it all together.

So now I have set a goal.

Note that this goal does not guarantee an update withing the next two weeks.

The only goal I have in order for you to get the next chapter is this:

Post on my profile or pm me any idea you have for this story. It can either be something you want to happen in the future, or things you want me to change slightly in previous chapters. I would hope to have at least 3 before posting the next chapter.

Please do though guys. I honestly want to know what you think should happen or should have happened. The whole "comment ideas" thing wasn't working so I just want a little bit of feedback. This doesn't mean that I won't post if I don't get 3 messages, but it will probably mean that it might take me a little longer if I don't.

To any of those still reading: Thank You

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
