Sweet Mistake

Making friends

Annabelle's POV

I can't believe he invited me to meet his friends! It worked out perfectly. It was kind of shocking though that he was wanting to include me. It felt nice. We walked to the bar Hermitage's. I can't even tell you how long it's been since I've had a night out. And the weirdest part... Niall was holding my hand. Like i didn't even know the guy. Oh well. It wasn't a biggy. So i let it slide.

"We're here." He smiled turning towards me as we arrived outside of the loud bright bar. I guess I must've had a look of fear in my eyes because Niall pulled me across the street to where it was quiet.

"Is everything okay?" He looked me in the eyes.

"Y-yeah. It's just I haven't been out in awhile. I wasn't kidding when I told I don't have many friends." I dropped my head down embarrassed. He put his finger under my chin and looked me in the eyes.

"It'll be okay. It's just the nerves. You'll have fun. Promise. Me friends are really welcoming." His Irish accent slid out of his lips. We stood there for a second and I finally calmed down. "Okay, are you ready? It may be hectic. Just hold onto me and I'll lead us over to me mates." I nodded my head and he grabbed my hand and we walked back over to the bar and entered it. The music blasted my ears and I gripped Niall's hand harder. He continued to push through the crowd of drunks and we finally arrived at a table consisting of three boys. One who looked familiar. We took our seats next to them and I saw all of them staring at me.

"What?" I said trying to talk over the music and people.

"Hi!" The one with a mole on his neck said. All I did was wave. Niall looked at me and started saying something.

"This is Louis, Liam, and Zayn" He motioned towards the boys. "You met Zayn when we first met." Zayn waved at me smiling.

"Let's get some drinks over here!" Louis shouted. Geez this kid could talk loud! A waitress brought over 5 beers and set them down.

"Oh, I don't drink" I pointed at the beer sitting in front of me. It's not that I haven't ever drank in my life. I mean come on. I'm an 18 year girl for Pete's sake! I'm just... How do I say this... Sloppy when drunk. I haven't touched a drop since I was 16. Considering I woke up in a monkey cage at the zoo snuggling an inflatable duck. So that's not going to happen again.

"Oh come on!" Louis yelled at me taking a drink.

"I don't!" I squealed.

"Louis stop!" Niall said looking at Louis. "You don't have to drink it if you don't want to." He added putting his hand on my shoulder. I looked at the pint in front of me and decided what the hell. What could a single beer hurt? So i took a sip and heard Louis cheer.

"There ya go!" He clapped and took another large drink finishing it off.

It was now 11 and one pint turned into 3. I was getting really tipsy. And I remember we all got up and started dancing. Then I felt a couple arms wrap around my waist. I felt so wild and free and thought 'Why not?' So I started dancing on him. I look back to see Niall behind me. I turned around and put my arms around his neck and started dancing. What was I doing? Ugh, this is why I don't drink! The next thing that happened lit a spark in my drunken head. Niall leaned in and kissed me. I didn't react. But a second after I started kissing back. What was happening. Oh my gosh. I'm never this spontaneous! After a minute or two I heard the familiar mega phone like voice hollering.

"OH MY GOD LOOK AT NIALL." Louis slurred. We looked up and saw him standing with Liam and pointing at us. I started blushing and Niall just started laughing. He kissed me one last time and spun me around.
