~*Eva's P.O.V.*~

Niall begins to lean in. I know what he's doing. He's gonna kiss me. If he does that, I'll be hooked. So, either he will be too or he could just say it was a mistake and ruin our friend ship.

I'm gonna go on a lim and just lean in too, praying he will love me back.

I close my eye. I pucker my lips ever so slightly and begin to lean in. Just as our lips were about to touch, our noses bump and we get pushed back. I open my eyes to see a frustrated Niall lookin' back at me. He looks cute in a way, just drawin' me in more. I smile, puttin' my hands on his shoulders and pullin' him down I my lips. Once again, just as our lips should touch, I hear I high pitch bark. I stop, sighing loudly as I let go of Niall's shoulders and turning to the table with five small pups layin' on it with their mother.

"Well hello there Mrs.Bella. How's life?" I ask, bending down and pettin' her. She looks at me for a second before laying her head back down on the table as her pantin' calms down slightly.

Niall walks over next to me, laying his hand on the small of my back and says, "You wanna bring the puppies over to their rightful owners?" He asks, while grinning.

I can tell he feels a little awkward now that we shared an almost intimate moment, but we didn't actually kiss yet so, we should be fine, right?

I giggle, "No, stupid! They still need to be with their mother." I roll my eyes while slapping his arm playfully. I nudge him toward the door, "Come on, let's go see when we can take these little suckers home." I push Niall out the door. He stumbles forward and almost trips but I grab his arm, "Stupid!" I laugh as he turns to me and gives me a cheeky smile.

"Thanks, love." Niall says as he takes my hand and leads me to the counter.

I cross my arms and lean up against the desk, smiling down at the plump woman. Her hair is loose, short and has bouncy curls, it is a light brown color Butkus is faded and had strips of gray in it. Her scrubs are covered in cats with a blue back round (in memory if Dacano Arno, a boy from Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, died 6-3-13).

"May I help you?" She asks, smiling up at me as she diverts her eyes from the ancient computer screen.

"Um, the dog in there that jut ha a little of five pups, when can we take her an the puppies home?" I ask, pointing back t the door where Bella and her puppies are stores.

She smiles again, she reminds me of Miss Kay. "You can take the pups home now, and the mum but she needs to be watched over closely so her stitches don't reopen."

I nod my head, "Okay, do you have her meds ready?" I ask.

She nods, standing up and walkin' over to the back were there are twenty-six drowrs, each with a letter on it. She stands on her tippy-ties, due to her short stature and reaches to the top where the 'B' drowr is. She pulls the drowr out and skips to the 'BR' section before pulling out a small, white paper bag. She lady smiled at me as she placed the bag on the counter. I took it and handed her the money. After that, I waved off to her and walked back into the room where Bella and the pups were. Niall followed me while holding Charlie's leash.

The doctor stands next to the bed holding the loud animals, writing on a clipboard and pettin' Bella. I clear my throat and he looks up, "Hello, Miss Brawn. I will go get a crate the pups and their mother." He nods once before turning to the door and walking out.

I walk over to the table, the Louis puppy is loudly squeaking. Figures...I pick him up and kiss his little nose. "Hey baby, aren't you just the cutest?!' I squeal.

I feel Niall rest his hand on the small of my back, "E?" He asks. I turn around, putting the Louis puppy on the table. He puts either hands on both sides of the bed, pushing my back against it. His face comes with in a inch of my own.

"Y-yes?" I ask nervously.

His nose rest beside mine as it brushes my cheek, "I really, really like you." He says, leaning in closer, not breaking eye contact.

I push my chest against his and push him back, "No." I whisper. "You don't."

He looks at me shocked, "E-"

"Okay, here is the crate." The doctor walks in, interrupting Niall once again.

"Yes, okay thank you." I say quickly, grabbing the crate and setting it on the table. I slowly pick up Bella and move her in the crate. I male sure she is still before I start moving the other puppies into the crate. They peep and squeak. I giggle and scratch the Zayn puppy under the chin.

"E." I turn around after closing the crate door. I slowly pick it up and turn to Niall. He looks so sad and confused.

"Ni, there is no way you could possibly like me. There is no way we could ever be more than friends because I know if I fall for you, you will catch me but then lower me to the ground, dust yourself off and walk away." I say in a strong, yet shaky voice.

Niall shakes his head frantically. "No, E. I do like you. And I will catch you, and hold you. I won't lay you down on the ground." He takes the crate from me and puts it back down on the table, then taking hold of my hands, "I promise." He moved his hand from my wrist and moved it to my jaw line, stroking it with his thumb. "I don't think I just like you. I think I'm beginning to fall in love with you, Eva. And I need you to catch me. I will fall and I will hit the ground hard if you don't catch me." He pleaded. Both I his hands rested on my cheeks and both my hands rested on his waist. He leans in. His soft lips brush mine.

Not only wanting but needing the feel of his lips touching mine, I pull him by the neck and push his lips on mine.

~*Niall's P.O.V.*~

She pulls me down in her lips so they were smushed together. The electrical shocks that came with the kiss were addicting and all I wanted was more. My hands that were on cheeks slowly tumbled down her sides en till I got to her hips and rested them there. I slowly begin to move out lips, opening and closing them. Eventually she gets the rhythm and moves in sync with me. E's arms slink around my neck as she pulls up so that both of us move closer. She stands on her tippy-toes as we kiss.

After a couple more seconds, we both pull away at the same time. I open my eyes to be met with her big brown ones. She i panting slightly because of the kiss and it jut makes me want to kiss her again. I lean in and place a light kiss on the tip of her nose before pulling her in for a tight hug.

She kisses my cheek before whispering in my ear, "I'm falling for you." Her soft lips brush my ear sending chills down my spine.

I pull away gently from the hug so I'm looking in her eyes, "And I'm catching you, holding on for dear life."

(A/N: so back in there, I mentioned some one named Dacano Arno. He was one of my brother'a best friends and he died 6-3-13. He drowned saving a friend who would have died if it weren't for him. So I would just like to ask that you keep him, his family, the town of Dover-Foxctroft, Maine and me in your mind. Thank you.
