4am. 6 hours and 30 minutes. It took me 6 hours and 30 minutes to like someone. It doesn't sound bad now is it? Some people fall in love at first sights, have crushes when they were in kindergarten, some liked 10 years older than them, and some, like in my case, liked a person their same gender.

I wasn't one into homophobic thingy because if I am, I wouldn't ever grow a liking towards Niall.

Well, the first decent look I gave him is, he already caught my eyes; thus the reason we almost had a car crash. He's fun to talk to, he knows Ed Sheeran, he's not a sheerio, he's a virgin, he's simple, he knows what food to take, he's shy, he's cute and he cares.

Yup, I like this guy.

"What will happen now between you and that Louis guy?" I asked, giving him a quick side glance. The sun still hasn't risen yet and by the amount of how far we ended up to, we needed much time to go back to where we belong.

"3 months. We've been dating for 3 months and he already come up of the idea of proposing" he sighed "I don't know what's in his mind but whatever it is, he was so fucked up to think I will accept his proposal, I mean, I haven't even told him the 3 words yet! How can he think I will say yes?"

"Maybe he's just too blind with his love for you"

He huffed "Love? It's not love it's lust. He's always in my apartment; my neighbours literally thought that we were living together now. He was only always there to touch me, cuddle me, grind on me, I don't even know now. I'm too young to be married you know"

"That's the problem of us caring too much that we forget about our own selves" I teased. Even if I believed Niall of him caring about me, I would never still care about the others. I still have this grudge in my heart about the word "care."

Niall gave me this disapproving look that I shrugged off. He leaned his head on my right shoulder and hold on my right arm "I promise I will change your perspective about the other people" he said before pecking my shoulder and leaning on it again.

I snort, I don't need other people, and I lived without the help of others. "I don't need other people" I reached his cheek using my right hand, caressing him "all I need is you"

He giggles holding my right arm that's caressing his face "If you turned into someone like Louis, all sappy, I will run away again and ride another cab"

"I wasn't being sappy! I was just saying"

Funny how things changed real quick. Last time we were sitting here in my car was, we're both silent. All you could hear are the songs that are saved in my mixtape and Niall's sniffs. Both aren't talking and well, let's say, this is better than the other one.

"I don't care about you being sappy. As long as it's you, it's fine by me"

"Ok now who's being sappy" I teased. Honestly, I'm not really into a romantic kind of guy knowing that I never have liked someone before. But I guess, this is what adoration does to you. It lets out the hiding monster inside you that you have never met before.

"I'm not sappy. I was just saying" he huffs a breath and leans back in his seat, looking at the surroundings "I don't want this night to end"

His voice is so small and sounded so fragile. I would've cooed if I were only not being "sappy." Fair point, I agree to him. The first different day I ever had and the most happiest. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Maybe it's not an accident of him seeing my car on the other side of the road after all.
