Like Before (Niall Horan)

Chapter Fourteen: Never Have I Ever Dated A Member Of One Direction

"I kissed him." I blurted out to Steph while we walked to my room from Tia's. I had just put her to bed. She turned wide-eyed at me and her jaw dropped. "Well he kissed me and then I kissed him." I told her.

"You kissed him? How? When?"

"Well on the way back from our date, he asked to kiss me. You know, because the last time he tried I kicked him and then it was like the perfect kiss and we walked back to my door and before I opened it, I turned and kissed him." I shrugged and pulled a tank top over my head.

"Wow. So the date went good?" Steph asked lifting an eyebrow at me.

"No." I paused letting Steph stare at me. "It went great." I smiled. "How are you and Harry?" I asked.

"We're great. I mean, some fans have suspected things and they have pictures of us and I've been getting hate but I don't let it get to me. They don't know me. And Harry wants to go public before he leaves." 

"Why?"

"He wants to be here when most of the hate comes through." Steph shrugged. "I told him not to worry about it because no matter what any of them say, it won't affect me. They don't know how we are together and they don't know anything about us. So they can't really say anything about it." 

"That makes a lot of sense actually." I told her. "When are you guys planning to let everyone know?"

"Well Harry has been talking to management all night and they told him whenever so we were thinking tonight probably. Just like post a picture on his twitter or something. I mean, he's not going to tag me in it probably but he said we both could post one. If I wanted to anyway. And I think I do. I don't care what people say about it."

"Thats a really good attitude to have." I told Steph. "I don't think I'd be able to do that."

"What happens if Niall asks you to be his girlfriend?" Steph asked me as we walked to the door.

"I wouldn't know what to do." I told her honestly.

"Alix." 

"Steph I can't. I don't have time. The date was great but I can't do that." I told her and walked down the stairs. She followed me and went and sat with Harry on the bigger couch. Louis was back in the chair and Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Steph were on the bigger couch. Niall was on one side of the small couch with Jaesin on the other side with the middle open probably for me.

"We should play Never Have I Ever." Steph suggested.

"Or we could watch a movie." I told her sitting down between Jaesin and Niall.

"I like Steph's idea." Harry said and smiled at Steph.

"Of course you would." I grumbled and crossed my arms over my chest. 

"Alright I'll start. Never have I ever had the best date of my life." Jaesin said. Niall looked at me and put a finger down. I smiled at him and put one down too. Steph and Harry looked at each other and laughed. Liam and Louis put a finger down. "Alright. Alix your turn."

"Never have I ever kissed a girl." I said. I really just wanted to get this game over with and if it took those kinds of questions then I would ask them. All the guys put their fingers down and Steph and I laughed. Now it was Niall's turn.

"Never have I ever turned down free food." Every one of us put our fingers down besides Niall and he laughed.

"I don't know why thats so funny. What if the free food was poisoned." Louis pouted. We all laughed at him and I rolled my eyes. 

"Never have I ever been called 'cheeky' to my face." Zayn started laughing as Harry, Niall, and Louis put a finger down. Liam was the next one to go and he was looking around like he was thinking hard. Niall's hand found its way to mine and he entwined our fingers and pulled me closer to him, wrapping the hand in mine around my shoulders like he was going to spin me if we were dancing.
