My Long Lost Twin

Chapter Twenty One

I rang the doorbell and was greeted by Niall in a matter of seconds. "Ready?" I asked him. "Indeed I am!" We walked to my car and got in. "Nice ride!" Niall said in a horrible Jersey accent. "You do know you sound incredibly stupid when you talk like that right?" I laughed. "Don't hate the playa hate the game!" "That didn't even make sense..." "You jelly!" "You should stop talking." "You hurt Nialler's feelings!" "Niall's creeping Brooke out when Niall talks in third person!" I turned to face Niall and saw him making a weird face at me. I raised my eyebrow, "Is that all you got?" then I made a face at him. "You're such a child sometimes!" Niall sassed. "Ok..." I said confused and backed out of the driveway.

I drove to a fancyish restaurant. "Table for two?" The hostess asked. I nodded and she led us to a table near a fire place. There wasn't that many people, a little less than half the restaurant was full. "You look nice tonight," Niall said, pulling the chair out so I could sit down. "Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself!" Niall sat across from me and looked over the menu. "What are you getting?" Niall asked me. "Maybe the pasta. You?" "I don't know, possibly the chicken breast meal thing." We made some more small talk and the waitress came and took our order.

"So what's up?" Niall asked me. "Not much, I'm gonna get a job," I said, sipping my water. "Where?" "Either TopShop or Harry is going to talk to the guy that owns the bakery he used to work at." Niall nodded and put his drink down. Man, he was so perfect. "So tell me about yourself." "Well I'm from New York and I've always lived there. When I turned 18 my parents told me I was adopted so I saved some money to come here and the rest is history." "Why don't you have a New York accent?" "I didn't like them, both my parents had one, but most of my friends didn't and I was around them more so a non-New York accent grew on me." "Oh." "What about you, what was it like before you were the international pop sensation Niall Horan?" "Simple. Nothing big, I had lots of friends pretty much everyone my age in my town. I was a big football player. Did you play any sports?" "Volleyball, soccer and softball." "We should play football together sometime, or in American terms soccer." "Niall, I know what football you're talking about you say it," I laughed a little. "I know, I'm just messing with you." The waitress came back with our food and Niall ate like he hadn't seen food for ages.

"Hungry?" I asked as I finished my pasta. "Yeah, dessert?" "Definitely!" We ordered some fancy chocolate cake thing and it was so good! "Mmmmm I'm in heaven!" I said as I took a bite. "I know, I have that affect on people." I smiled and rolled my eyes at him, "I'm not talking about you!" "What?! I'm hurt!" "That is the worst hurt face ever!" "Whatever girl!" "You're so sassy!" "Don't tell Louis! He'll have my head!" "I'm gonna tell him anyways!" "You wouldn't dare!" "Oh but I would!" Then it fell silent. Our waitress came and gave us the check. I grabbed it and took out my credit card. "Brooke, give me the check." "No! I invited you out so, I'm gonna pay!" "Well that's to bad because I pay for all the dates!" Speaking of dates... Ugh I still had to tell Niall how I feel. "It's to bad that I'm breaking your rule!" Niall got up, "Where are you going?" He completely ignored me and kept walking.

A couple of minutes later he came back with the waitress. She took the check but left my card. "What did you do?" "Paid." "Niall James Horan!" "Did you really just use my middle name?" "Yes I did. Why did you pay! I was going to." I said as we put our coats on and walked out. "Someone as pretty as you shouldn't have to pay when they are with me." "Well someone has charming as you shouldn't go out of his way to pay when they are with me!" Wow that was a really lame come back, good work Brooke! "Looks like Harry isn't the only flirt in the Styles family!" "I'm not flirting!" "It's obvious you are!" "If anyone's flirting, it's you!" We got to my car when Niall took my hand and practically dragged me in the opposite direction of my car. "NIALL! What are you doing?" "Shhh! Just come on!"

After a minute or two of running we were standing in the middle of a soccer field. Niall ran over to the goal and got a soccer ball out of the net. "Did you set this up?" "No, there is just usually a ball here." Oh sure, there is always a ball at a soccer field, that's normal! Niall jogged back to the middle, "Up for a game?" "Niall it's cold out!" "I'm sure if you run you will warm up!" I rolled my eyes but agreed to a game. He put the ball on the ground and we started playing. Niall was dribbling it down to score but I came from behind and pushed him down and stole the ball. "FOUL!!" "No! You weren't paying attention!" I yelled as I scored.

"Still cold?" Niall said as he jogged to me. "No." We were so close, both breathing heavy from playing soccer. Niall glanced from at my lips for a split second. I felt Niall slip his hand I to mine, "You're really good at soccer." "You're not to bad your self, Horan." He leaned in and kissed me. It may be cliché but I most definitely felt sparks. Niall pulled me closer and deepened the kiss. It felt like a movie, the perfect February night on a soccer field with Niall. We pulled away and Niall looked down at me and smiled. I couldn't help but blush. "You're so cute when you blush." Niall's comment only made me blush more. "We should go out more often." Niall continued. "Yeah." "But." "But what?" "As boyfriend and girlfriend." He said quietly. I smiled at him, "I think that's a great idea."

We started walking, hand in hand, back to my car. We got in and I turned on the radio and "Everything Has Changed" by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran was playing. I love this song! I sang along quietly and started driving. I looked at the clock that read 11:39, whoa! We had been out way longer than I planned!

I pulled up to where Niall and everyone else was staying. "Wanna come in for a little bit?" Niall asked me. "I would, but I should get home." "Ok, thanks for inviting me out, I had a great time." "Thanks for coming and me too." Niall have me a quick kiss and went inside. I sat there for a second to take everything in. I could not believe Niall was by boyfriend! I smiled to myself and drove home.
