One Direction Imagines and Preferences

Start Of Something New

"Y/N pleaseeeee. I swear you're destined to be together!" My best friend begged. I rolled my eyes, still scrolling through my phone on Instagram.
She was dating the one and only Liam Payne, and they have been going strong for about a year and a half now. They were honestly my otp. She was now trying to convince me to go on a double date with them- my date being Niall.
Now I've meet the boys two times, and whenever I met Niall I just instantly went starstruck. I get all shy and nervous around that boy and I can never form any words. When I did meet them, the first time was out to dinner and we all talked together, I didn't talk to just Niall. The second time was at a party, so my best friend just briefly asked if we remembered each other, we said hi and that was it. But I know for sure if I go tonight I will fuck everything up.
"I really don't want to go" I told, chewing on my bottom lip as I thought about all the things that could go wrong
"Why do you even want me to go anyways? Just go on a date with Liam, you don't need us" I spoke up, bringing my face up to meet her stern gaze on me
"Because Y/N, he likes you! I'm telling you. Liam has told me that he finds you attractive, but you've never had the time to really talk and this is a great opportunity to do so!" She explained. I could feel myself slowly shake my head. He doesn't like me. I'm just a normal girl going to college.
"And I know you like him to" I snapped my head up to hers, catching her wink
"Do not" I scoffed, shutting my phone off and standing up.
"Oh yeah sure, I'll believe that" she smirked, taking a bit of the granola bar she had placed in her hand. I walked towards her slowly, keeping my glare on her face. Once I got close enough to her, I dropped my crossed arms placing them to my sides, putting my guard down as I see her grin. My glare is now just a soft look, and I look to her as if I'm now a child about to fess up
"How'd you know?" I whisper, and her smile about reaches her ears as she jumps up and down
"I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!" She shouts, grabbing my hands and jumping. I smile at her antics, before holding her shoulders to stop her. She laughs loudly, grabbing my shoulders as well
"YOU TWO WOULD BE PERFECT TOGETHER!!! Oh my god Niall can be such a romantic and you love that. He loves a girl who is shy, and who isn't too confident so he can remind her every day. He loves doing adventurous things and you love going to random places and just being free. You're both carefree and love life, not to mention you would be the hottest couple around. God you guys would have hot sex I can already see it-" I clamp a hand over her mouth, giggling and feeling my face heat up
"Let's just see if he likes me back first" I laugh, taking my hand off her lips.
"Already know he does" she sings, pulling me in for a hug
"This is gonna be great! Cmon we need to make sure you look fabulous, even though you look stunning in everything" I lightly smack her arm as she takes my hand, pulling me up the stairs as she shouts out
"This is gonna be the start of something great!!"
~~
I don't know why I agreed to come. I don't like being the center of attention. Me and my best friend arrived at this top notch fancy Italian restaurant, and she was sitting in the car on her phone texting Liam to see if they were here already. I looked in the mirror of the car, playing with my hands nervously as my stomach did flips. I felt as if I was gonna puke
"They're here! Let's go in" she ordered, about to get out of the car when I grabbed her arm
"I can't do this" I told her, eyes wide in fear. She chuckled softly, holding my hand
"Yes you can Y/N. You're gonna go in there and blow Niall's mind away, okay? He's going to love you. And I'll be there to help you out, so will Liam. He's gonna love you babe" I nodded my head, sort of believing her pep talk. I got out of the car before a second thought. Well here goes nothing

NIALL'S POV
"Li I can't do this" I shook my head, messing up the hair at the nape of my neck. I played with the fork in front of me, waiting for Y/N and liams girlfriend to arrive
"Niall, Listen man. I know she likes you. And I know you like her. Everything is gonna work out, you're perfect for each other. She's your girl Niall, she's your princess" Liam reassured me. I took a deep breath, looking over to see him smiling reassuringly at me
"Okay. You're right. Gonna need me Irish charm on her" I whispered more to myself, but he heard and laughed loudly
"Whatever you need, remember I'm here" he smiled. I took a brief moment to hug him, it was a quick and brief hug which made us both laugh at how it must've looked so weird to everyone else.
The door dinged, signaling someone just walked in. My head snapped up, and I was met with an elderly couple. The man was holding the woman's hand in both his hands, and it made me smile at how they were still going strong
"Jesus Ni. Calm down bro" Liam chuckled. I rolled my eyes playfully, yet the grin on my face did not disappear.
"You're gonna thank me for this later on in life" Liam muttered to himself, though my ears had caught it
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't" I sasses him, which resulted in him sticking his tongue out at me. Typical brotherly banter.
We had gotten ourselves our own private little room, it was no bigger than a bedroom. Just a table for us four, with a window right where the entrance is. So me and Liam chatted while watching the entrance, waiting for our girls. Wait our? No. Just his girl and my date. Maybe soon my girl. God shut up Niall.
The door dinged once again and I looked up, seeing Liam's girlfriend and Y/N come in. I felt my heart skip a beat as I watched her intensely, I couldn't look away. Her beauty was mesmerizing.
"Close ye mouth Niall we don't want ya choking on any flies" Liam chuckled. I shut my mouth, standing up from my seat immediately as I saw the waiter take them to the room. The waiter opened the door and ushered them in, and I took the chance to walk right over to Y/N
"Y-you look absolutely stunning" I spoke to her, eyes gazing into hers. God damnit my stuttering. I saw her cheeks turn a slight shade of pink, as she thanked me and tucked a stand of hair behind her ear.
She had a royal blue dress on that hugged all her curves and was to just above her knees. Her hair was curled and wow, I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life
"You look handsome yourself" she smiled nervously at me, rocking back and forth on her heel covered feet.
It was now my turn to blush, and I scratched the back of my neck in a nervous manner
"Allow me" I offered, outstretching my hand. She placed her hand in mine, and I'm hoping to God that she felt that electricity that I was feeling going all through my body.
I led her over to the table, letting go of her hand to push out the chair for her.
"Thank you" she smiled up at me from her seat as I pushed her in.
"Not a problem love" I assured, going to sit down in my seat. I looked to Liam and his girlfriend who were grinning at me, but I just shook my head and bit my lip. I looked to Y/N to see her already staring at me, which caused me to quickly look away in embarrassment. What do I say? I can't just start of with "I really like you" can I?
"So Y/N! Niall loves to play golf. Didn't you say you wanted to learn how to play?" Liam smiled towards her after asking. My eyes widened as I looked over to her, watching a beautiful smile overcome her face
"Oh yeah! I've always wanted to learn how. My dad does all the time" she told.
"Oh yeah? Where does he play?" I asked, getting intrigued. She turned her attention from Liam to me, and sat forward as she started to talk,
"He plays anywhere he can really. His favorite place is the East Greenwich golf course near Garderd Park"
"Really?! I love that course!" I spoke excitedly. I looked over briefly to see Liam and his girl where in a conversation now, so I guess it's all down to us now. They helped start it off so I can give them that.
"Me too! I wish I could play on it but you know, I can't play" she giggled, and I swear I have never heard anything more gorgeous in my entire life
"I can teach you" I said, almost too quickly.
"What? Really?" She questioned, wide eyed
"Definitely! Anything for a pretty lady" I cheekily grinned. She shook her head with a smile, reaching to take a sip of her water.
"Do you um..play any other sports besides g-golf?" Y/N spoke slowly, and I smiled hard that she was just as nervous as I was for this. She looked angry with herself that she had stuttered, which made her even cuter.
"I used to play soccer. But then I got my floating kneecap that kept popping so I had to have surgery on it about a year and a half ago" I explained.
"That sucks! I heard about that actually. I saw that a fan threw something on stage and it hit you right in the knee" she replied. Her hand reached across the table and was placed in the middle of us.
"Yeah, I don't even remember what it was. Made me bleed and Haz had to help me off the stage"
"I'm glad you're better now" she reasoned
"Yeah me too" I nodded. She looked down at her lap, playing with her dress. I decided to reach across the table, allowing my hand to rest on top of hers in the middle of us. Y/N's head snapped up in surprise, her eyes wide. I leaned in, motioning for her to do the same. She slowly did, and I whispered in her ear
"I know you're nervous. But so I am I- incredibly nervous actually I feel as if I could puke. But let's try and forget about that and just get to know each other better, for the sake of these two wackos next to us and for the benefit of a good night and maybe even the start of something new" she giggled in my ear, nodding her head and pulling her head back. I did the same, adjusting myself in the seat and fixing my blue dress shirt.
"Good evening" the waiter came over and spoke to all of us. We all replied, and ordered what we wanted before he disappeared to where he came from
"So are you a fan Y/N/N?" I asked, creating a nickname for her. She smiled warmly at me, staring at me for a brief moment.
"A fan?! Dude she's like more than a fan. I don't even know what that is but she's it" liams girl laughed. Y/N furrowed her eyebrows, slapping her arm playfully but she chuckled as well
"She has a fan account about you" she continued, and Y/N's eyes widened
"Shut up!" She whined, before turning to me and Liam
"I HAD one. It had only like a hundred followers" she tried shaking it off, however her friend brought it up again
"Yeah, if you call 100 followers 10,000 in your world" she laughed.
"Wow! That's impressive" Liam spoke, amazed. I saw Y/N quickly look up to me to see my reaction, then look back down in embarrassment. I needed to save this girl from complete humiliation
"Yeah I once had a fan account about Justin Bieber" I lied, causing Liam to spit out his drink as he belted out in laughter
"You never told me that!!" He shouted, holding his stomach as him and his girlfriend died of laughter
"Yeah I had like 15k" I chuckled, looking at Y/N. Her eyes met mine and her smile looked so genuine, along with her eyes that seemed to hold a caring trait.
"Guess you two are perfect for each other" his girlfriend chuckled. We both kept staring at one another, as if neither one of us could look away. She was absolutely stunning.
Our gaze was broken as the waiter came to the table with our food, much to my dismay. As much as I love food, I could stare at that girl all day. I would love to wake up to her sleeping face every morning and kiss her all over her face.
"This is delicious" Y/N noted
"What'd ya get?" I questioned, eyes flickering to her meal
"Chicken Parm. Want to try?" She asked, and I nodded my head. She cut a piece, stabbing her fork into it and bringing the fork to my mouth. I opened it just enough, allowing her to place the fork in my mouth and pull it away once my lips clamped down on it
"Mmm that is good" I agreed, chewing slowly to get all the flavor
"You guys even act like a married couple" Liam joked, even though he was completely serious. I felt my cheeks burn up once again tonight and saw Y/N's turn a shade of red as well.
After eating for a few quiet moments and listening to Liam and His girlfriends conversation, I decided to start one too. What to say what to say..
"So if you're a fan" I started, swallowing my food in my mouth
"What's you're favorite song off the new album?" I asked, drinking a sip of the wine in front of me
"Definitely Never Enough and Temporary Fix" she smirked
"Ah so you like the hardcore ones" I noted, making sure to remember that in my head. Along with her smile, giggle, and cuteness
"Of course! You just gotta get up and dance to those" she explained.
"Although I want to write you a song makes me cry" she chuckled, and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion
"Why? It's not good?" I asked, placing my fork down and folding my hands on my lap
"No! No total opposite. It's so good I get emotional. It's like.. You guys telling the fans that when your gone on this break, that they can listen to you and they'll feel at home" she told. I smiled brightly, reaching across the table and placing the palm of my hand up. She took the memo and placed her hand in mine, and I slowly but surely curled my fingers up to capture her Hand in mine
"I wouldn't mind singing it to you in person, whenever you wanted me to" I whispered, more to myself than to her. However she must've heard because she squeezed my hand lightly.
"You know" she started off, leaning across the table like we did earlier. I did the same, allowing her to whisper in my ear
"We should do this again, without these two wankers" her hot breath sent chills down my spine, yet despite this I let out a loud laugh
"It's a deal" I smirked, shaking her hand that was already in mine
"Hey aren't I supposed to say we should do this again" I rode my eyebrows towards her, and she laughed whole- heartedly.
"Well do you want to?" She shrugged
"Of course I do. Maybe it shall be on the golf course" I cheekily smiled. She grinned back, finishing off her meal with the last bite.
When everyone was done and the bill was paid for, Liam walked with his girlfriend a little up ahead of us while we both walked a slow pace, trying to stall and get more time together
"Tonight was amazing, thank you for being my date. I don't think I would've made it alone with those two" I laughed, motioning my head to Liam and his girl as they made out against the car. I stopped a few yards away from them, under a lamp post to get a better look at Y/N. I'll never get over how I just went on a date with the most special girl
"It was my pleasure. And thank you for being an incredible date, I wouldn't want anyone else" she agreed. I smiled softly, my eyes flickering from her big brown eyes to her full pink lips
"Hey Y/N?" I whispered
"Yeah?" She whispered back, and we were so close that her warm breath fanned over my face causing me to shiver
"I really like you" I let out, my Adam's apple bobbing as I gulped afterwards. My eyes stayed fixed on her own, watching them widen than crinkle up as she smiled
"I really like you too" she replied. I wrapped my arms around her waist, bringing her in for a hug. She wrapped her hands around my neck, hugging me back for a good few moments. I picked my head up from her shoulder, leaning back to get a good look at her face. With our arms still tangled around each other, I found myself leaning in slowly, watching her eyes to see if she would do the same. Her eyes went from mine to my lips than back up, and before I knew it she came the rest of the way and crashed her lips onto mine. Our lips moved swiftly together as I tasted her vanilla Chapstick that I now knew she was obsessed with, after we talked about our obsessions tonight at the table. We both pulled away out of breath, our eyes opening at the same time. Her eyes seemed to twinkle in delight and I'm sure mine were the exact same
"I'll text you about that golf date" I mumbled, leaning my forehead against hers
"Sounds great" she whispered. I took my arms away from her body, slowly taking a step back as I instantly went to hug myself from the cold feeling of her not in my arms
"Goodnight princess" I spoke, walking backwards to me and Liams car
"Goodnight Ni" she ended, turning to walk away as I watched her hand reach up to her lips. She felt it too. She felt the spark. I reached my hand up to my lips as well once I turned around, walking to the car
This was definitely the start of something new, and I would definitely have to thank Liam later for this.
