Eighteen

Under The Stars

Niall's P.O.V

It was around 9pm when I just got outta the shower. My hair was wet. I was hungry so I went to see what I could eat. There was some chicken I made yesterday so I put it in the microwave to become hot.

Thats when my doorbell rang. I went jogging and opened. To my suprise stood there Merryl. She had food I could smell that.

"Mer?" I smiled.

"Hey Nialler..Um... its awkward but Kris is out with Louis suprisingly and well I didn't wanna have dinner alone. So.." she stood there. I could feel she felt awkward.

"Ha! Come in." I gave her way to enter.

"Well,I have something I cooked." She handed me the food container. I quickly served it.

"Wow it smells great. " I complimented her.

"Thanks,surely not cooked better than you" she giggled.

She was so cute. Her smile? It was something to die for. Her eyes were brown very common but her eyes had sparkle. I could never get tired of looking at her. Why do I keep thinking of her? Why do I all of a sudden get nervous around her? Why can't I ever stop smiling like an idiot around her?

"Niall?" She called.
I snapped into reality.

"Ye-yeah?"

"I asked if you liked it?" She said.

"Nope..sorry I didn't like it."

Her face dropped.

"Well,okay" she said in the most cutest sad face.

"Oh God Mer! I loved it!" I laughed.

She slapped my arm playfully. I laughed. She too smiled.

"You're so mean!" She said.

"Haha I am!" I told her.

Once we were done. I took the plates and kept it in the sink. I came in the hallroom and seen her looking out of the window.

"What you looking at?" I asked her and ran my fingers through my hair.

"These stars... " She smiled.

I caught her hand and bought her into my yard. We laid down facing the sky.

"I find these stars beautiful. I just like looking at them..." she said.

"They are beautiful no doubt. But to be honest...." I looked at her.

"What?" She said now looking into my eyes.

I took a deep breath.
"You are more prettier...you are more beautiful than anything in this world. You got this smile to die for..."

She just smiled. And then I didn't know why... but I leaned in.

Our lips connected slowly. I kissed her gently. It gave me butterflies in my stomach.

A few moments later she broke away. She got up and just walked away fast. She left me speechlees.

Merryl's POV

He kissed me. Why? Why did he? Does he feel something for me? Why did I Kiss him back?Why did he give me butterflies? Why did ughhhh! So many thoughts ran through my head as I paced faster towards home.

I just entered quietly not talking to louis nor kris who were back. I just ran and folded my legs and placed my head on them.

I constantly kept thinking. Do I feel something for him? Do I? But even if I did I can't lose him. He is my bestfriend. No I just cannot let him be anything more than my bestfriend. I cannot ruin the friendship.

Kris came and sat beside me.

"Mer? You ok? Where were you?"

I fake smiled. I decided to keep it to myself for now so I lied.

"I am fine. I just went for a walk."

"Oh okay...well you look tired. Sleep because you know its a special day tomorrow." She smiled.

"Yup." I said. Louis entered.

"Hey? Everything alright?" He asked.

"I'll go get myself water" kris said and left.

"Yeah. Come sit." I patted my bed.

"So you excited for tomorrow?" He smiled.

"Kind off...not very really." I looked at him.

"Well.. I can understand. anyway you look tired so you need rest. Night." He kissed my cheek.

"Night." I smiled. As he got up I stopped him and just hugged him.

"Merryl you okay?" He asked a little suprised.

"Yeah I just felt like I needed a hug so." I released.

"Okay..then goodnight." He smiled.

"Night." He left.
I took deep breath then changed and fell asleep.
