"Tell me everything!" Amy screams excited. We lay in my bed, talking about random stuff, when I suddenly said Niall's name, and Amy exploded of curiosity.

"We're just hanging out, nothing more!" I explain. I'm not really sure what I should tell her. Niall and I have only known each other for a couple of weeks, but we're already really close. We're also kissing and calling each other nicknames, which is making it all a little more complicated. Okay, it's making it much more complicated. I don't think we're in a relationship but we're not just friends either. God, this is hard.

"No way girl, I've seen you two, you're totally in love!" She smirks, clapping her hands.

In love? That's bullshit. I care about Niall a lot, but in love, no. We're just hanging out, kissing sometimes, okay, a lot, but it doesn't mean we are a couple.
I admit, every time I see him, the butterflies in my stomach goes crazy. And every time we kiss I feel like we're the only one on this planet. And every time he calls me baby my heart starts to beat really fast, I mean really really fast. I smile every time I hear his name. I'm happy every time I'm with him.
He's making my days much easier. I can't imagine my life without him.

Holy shit, I'm in love with him.

Niall |

The bar is almost empty, thank god. I have no energy for loud music and a lot of booze right now. We're just going to have a peaceful guy night!

"Hey guys!" The waitress Theresa says.

"What can I give you tonight?" She asks.

"I'll just have a beer!" Ryan shrug.

"Me too." One of the guys, named Zayn remarks. The other guys decides to take a beer too. We sit down at the bar and Zayn and another guy called Harry immediately starts to talk. Theresa gives me a quick glare before she gives everyone except me a beer. Yeah, we hooked up once, and then I ditched her, but it was on my bad period, I may add.

"Theresa.." Louis starts.
"..you forgot Niall!"

She is just about to say something when I interrupt. "Nah, it's okay. I should pass anyway..."

"..thank you..I'm sorry, what's your name again? Tara?" I ask, making the other lads burst into laugh.
I actually remember her name, I just love to see her cheeks turn red whenever she's angry. I know, I'm immature. She rolls her eyes before leaving, probably to the inventory, whipping her hips a little extra.

"Nice man, she totally deserves it!" Ryan says, raising his beer in a toast.

"Oh, she totally does, she's so annoying and such a slut!" Louis says quietly.

"I know!"

"Remember that time at the pa-"

"Okay guys!" I interrupt. "I know you don't like Theresa, neither do I, but we shouldn't bring that subject up!" I remind them. "She has already suffer enough for that night." I say, I can't help but feel extremely bad for her. I know it's my fault.

"If you say so, Mr friendly." Harry sigh.

"Anyway.." Zayn begin. "..anyone's up for beer pong?" I'm relieved Zayn changed the subject. Theresa is annoying as fuck, but not even she should be reminded of that night.

"I'm in." Liam, who hasn't said much yet, says. "Me too!" Lou finally says, making the three of them look at the three of us who haven't said anything yet. "I'll pass." I respond.

"Yeah, I'll stay here with Neil." Harry replies. They look at Ryan who sigh.

"Okay, I'm in. But just one round!" He tell them and they all nod as they walk further into the dark bar.

"So.." Harry looks at me with cautious eyes.

"..how are things going with Nic?"
He asks, taking a small sip of his beer.

"Just great, thanks." I respond awkwardly. It's not that I don't like Harry, he's one of my closest friends. It's just that, I'm not sure if I'm ready for these questions. I don't know exactly what Nicole and I are at the moment. We've only known each other for a couple of weeks.

"Are you together yet?"

Are we?

"I don't know man. It's complicated." I lean back in my uncomfortable chair.

Harry raises his eyebrow at me. "How come?"

"We hang out almost every day, and we kiss all the time, but we haven't really talked about the status thing. We're not there yet." I explain, more for myself than Harry to be honest.

"Do you love her?"

Do I?

"No, of course I don't! That'd be crazy, right?" I ask confused and Harry just shrugs.

It would, right? I can't love her, not yet.
I do really care about her. She brightens up my day. Every time she smiles, it feels like everything is perfect. And every time I hear her cute giggling, I feel like the happiest man alive. I love how her tiny hands fits perfectly in mine, like they're made just for me. I love the crinkles around her eyes that she gets when she laughs really hard. Her happy crinkles. I love how she gets embarrassed when I call her nicknames, but I know she loves it. And I love that she makes me feel like I'm the only one for her.

Holy shit, I'm in love with her.
