Don't Be Scared

You asked your good friend Niall to attend your friend's huge birthday party with you, unromantically of course, and tonight was finally the night. It was semi-formal and you got to wear your new dark blue dress and silver flats. Your mom also gave you jewelry to match and your hair was curled for the occasion. After adding some final touches to your makeup, you walk downstairs to find Niall waiting at the bottom.  

His eyes widen and his mouth hangs open.  

"I'm so sorry, Niall! I didn't know you were here! I would have come down sooner.." 

"I-It's fine," he stutters. His muscular body is adorned with dress clothes, including the blue tie to match your dress. "You remembered!" you smile, playing with the material.  

He grins, "Yeah." But his eyes can't seem to leave your body.  

You ignore the staring as you drive down to the country club. "Here we are," you say, climbing out and locking the car.  

Niall links his arm with yours and leads you inside. 

The dancing is upbeat and Niall and you are jamming out or awhile as the party moves along.  

Then a slow song starts. You immediately pull your hair away from your face and start walking towards your table. But Niall catches your arm; "Wait, (y/n)." 

You turn around.  

"Will you please dance with me? Just one song?" 

You nod and nervously smile as he sets his hand on your waist, your arms encircling his neck.  

"You know, I've been waiting for this," Niall says quietly, pulling you closer.  

Your heart is racing. "What? I mean, why?" 

"(Y/n), can't you tell? I.. I'm in love with you." 

Your eyes widen and you gulp as you try to wiggle out of his grasp.  

But he clutches your hand. "Please, (y/n), don't run away from me." 

You close your eyes as you try to think this through. What just happened? You and Niall like each other? 

His arms wrap around your waist and he pulls you as physically close to his body as he can. "How do you feel about me?" he whispers. 

"I like you too, Niall, very much, but.." 

"But what?" he smiles; "you don't have to be scared, (y/n), a relationship wouldn't be much different than our friendship, we just get to kiss.. and that other stuff." 

He winks and you blush as he kisses your temple. "Please, just give me a chance?"  

You nod and grin as you pull at his neck for your lips to meet.
