*Piper
I glanced out the window to see our destination. Truthfully, I was nervous. I've never actually been to a club, especially with Niall or Liam. So, I didn't know what to expect. "Guys, are you ready?" Danielle asked, opening her door. I nodded and glanced at Niall. "Okay, let's go." She hopped out and Niall and I followed, along with Liam.
"You look nervous, Piper. Are you alright?" Niall asked. I nodded and locked arms with him. "Sure, love?"
"I am perfectly fine, thanks Niall. I just am sort of a first-timer. So, yeah." I said.
"Trust me, it's not as bad as you think. It's fun." Niall said, putting more confidence inside me.
"Hopefully.." I said, walking towards the line in front of the door.
"No, honestly. It's fun." Niall said, smiling.
"You are awesome, Niall. Thanks for coming." I said.
"I came because you came." he whispered. I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Thanks." I said, again. I felt safer around Niall. And I might've been falling for him.
*Niall*
I got up to the front, Piper still attached to my arm. She was so cute. :) "Niall Horan and Piper Martin." I said. He un-hooked the red velvet rope and let us in. "Was that scary for you?" I whispered close to her ear, so she could hear. She shook her head. "Good." I took her hand and walked her towards the dance floor. We danced for a while, then she left.
"Piper? What's the matter??" I asked, standing in front of her.
"Nothing. I just don't wanna dance." She said. I could tell she was lying.
"Come on.. You could've said something." I said. "Are you afraid? Or nervous?"
"Well.. I am here illegally, so kind of nervous." She admitted. "Please.. No more dancing."
"Okay.. No more. If you want, we can just leave. Take a walk?" I suggested. She nodded.
"Thanks, Niall." She said, hanging on my arm, as we walked out. I took her hand and interlocked my fingers with hers and sat on a park bench, just outside the club, down the street. "So, Niall.. Can I ask you something..?"
"Sure.." I said.
"Liam said you had a crush on me.. Is that true?" Piper asked, looking up at me.
"Um.. I don't know. I am not even sure.. I don't know that much about you, even, so.." I said, looking over at a car passing by.
"Oh.. Okay. Well, we could hang more then." Piper suggested. Something told me she wanted me to like her. "Listen, Niall. I kind of like you, but I know nothing about you besides the fact you're completely perfect and are super nice." Piper said.
"Well.. Thanks. But, I just don't know how to make time in for hanging out with you. Sorry." Oops, it slipped out. Shit. Now she's going to hate me! :/
"Wait, what? I can make time, but you can't. You have no idea how busy I am and I am still trying to make time for you, I take that back... Not Perfect. Just another guy." She stood up and walked back to the club, leaving me stranded there alone. Wow.. I am stupid.
*Piper
I stormed back inside the club, trying to find Liam to tell him the news. "Hey, pretty thing.." a random drunk guy said.
"Leave me alone." I said, pushing my way through the crowd. "Liam!" I said, relieved.
"Ooh.. What happened?" Liam asked.
"He's not crushing on me. Trust me. I don't want to be with him. He said that he wouldn't make time for me and so yeah." I said, sighing. "I am pretty sure it was a stupid excuse. I really thought.." I glanced down at my hands and gulped, trying to hold back my tears. Wait- why the hell am I crying??? It's only a boy.. a stupid boy..
"That makes no sense. Are you sure you got the whole story. He's actually busy.. with his singing dreams." Liam said. "Did he even tell you?
"No.. Wait.. singing. I thought his thing was just playing the guitar.. Not singing. Does this mean I have to apologize? I did yell at him." I asked,biting my lower lip in guilt. I felt absolutely terrible! T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!!!!!!
"Or talk to him.. Just ask him about it." Liam suggested.
"Ugh... This sucks." I said, storming off outside, finding Niall right outside. "You.. Hey.. Can we talk?"
"Sure." Niall mumbled, lowering his head.
"I am sorry. I should've let you explain. I didn't know." I said, putting a tiny bit more distance between us. I could sense he was irritated and upset, as was I before. "Can I hear you sing?"
"Wait.. now?" Niall said. "Who said I can sing?" He smiled, raising his head.
"You can't hide it anymore. Come out, lad.. Sing please for me.." I pleaded.
"Fine.." he grunted. "But we have to go grab the guitar.."
I felt tiny rain drops land on my arms. "Oh, shiz. It's going to rain. And we can't drive." I said, irritated, but then I have always wanted a guy to give me his jacket in the rain, so.. ;) "Let's walk." I finally said, as the rain picked up, getting heavier. 'YES!' I thought to myself.
"Fine.. Okay. Only if you insist. Here take my jacket, love." Niall said, slipping off his jacket, with only a white undershirt on underneath. I slid the jacket around my shoulders as Niall walked in front of me. My heart started pumping faster and I felt his hand on my arm. We were only so far apart.
"I never said.. Once.. That I didn't still have a crush on you, Piper." he whispered, brushing my nose with his.
"Good.." I said, staring into his blue eyes.
All of a sudden, it was pouring and Niall had his arms around my waist, as we were walking, making jokes and laughing. He leaned in and pecked my cheek, once we were on the porch of his house. "Danielle and Liam are going to be mad.." I said, laughing.
"Who cares? You wanted to hear me sing." Niall had a point.
"Okay, then go sing for me." I demanded, opening the door and walking inside, Niall right behind me. How much better could this get??!!? :)
