Prologue

Niall's POV

"Niall?" Riley whispered to me.

"Yeah Ri?" I replied. We were standing in the back corner while the couples danced.

"I don't know about you but I ain't getting any younger, or better looking."

"Rubb-"

"Let me finish. Niall, I'm 20 and haven't dated for 2 years. Like for real, am I that ugly?" She asked in her southern accent. "Don't ya ever get tired of being single, being alone." She sighed. "No cuddling...... No sex."

I can't lie, I do miss the cuddling and the sex, mostly the sex.

"First. You're not ugly, close but not ugly." Riley smacked my arm with the back of her hand. "Second. That just shows how strong we are, how we don't need anyone." I cheered. She glanced at me then rolled her emerald eyes.

"Niall?" Riley said.

"Yes Riley?" I asked.

"Shut up." She laughed and I quickly joined her.

"Now come dance with me." I smiled placing my hand out in front of her to take.

"It's couple d-"

"We could be an couple for the night, yeh?" I offered. Riley shrugged her shoulders and took my hand. While making our way to the dance floor all the lads raised an eyebrow at Riley and me. I mouth the word what, they all replied with laughter then went back to what they were doing. I placed my hands on Riley's waist while she wrapped her arms around my neck and laid her head on my chest. We started to sway back n' forth.

"So..." She mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

"What do couples do? I kinda forget." Riley answered. I stifled a laugh then kissed her on top of the head.

"Lots of things." I started. "Like holding hands, going on dates, cuddling, kissing and more." I sighed. She looked up at me and smiled then looked at her watch that showed 9:30 which made her smile disappear.

"And how are we 'spose to fit all that into the next two and an half hours?!" She frowned. I furrowed my eyebrows in deep thought. Lightbulb.

"How about we ditch the place." I suggested.

"But-" before she could finish her sentence I was dragging her out of the building.

Riley's POV

The first thing Niall and I did was go see a movie which we only watched half of it, while watching the movie we cuddled. When that was over it was 10, which left 2 hours. After the movie we went out to dinner. It was lots of fun and the food was great. Niall and I went back & forth with telling jokes, his contagious laugh spreading through the restaurant. People would stare but we didn't care and kept laughing to the top of our lungs. He would tell me that I'm cute and I would return the favor I know he was just kidding but he's words went to heart. Now it's almost twelve and we are walking in centre park holding hands.

"It's 11:54." I mumbled.

"Yeah, I know." Niall sighed. He gave my hand a squeeze as I turned my head to the ground. "It's okay babe, we still have.... 5 minutes." He cheered. I let out a moan in disappointment while he chuckled. I looked up at his blond-brown hair down to his piercing blue eyes they're so beautiful, my dark brown eyes are nothing compared to his. I looked down at my watch, 11:57. Then back up to his face. My eyes landed on his pink lips-- Wait! What about the kissing.

"We're missing something." I said. He looked over to me and raised his eyebrow.

"What love?" He asked.

"The kiss." I barely whispered. He stopped in his tracks and turned towards me. I looked up at him to see a cheeky smile on his face.

"Well maybe we should change that, yeh?" He smiled. I shook me head while he wrapped his arms around waist pulling me closer to him. I couldn't be patient anymore, I closed the gap between our lips. Our lips moved in sync and I swear I felt bolts of electricity running through my veins. I was enjoying myself till Niall broke the kiss for air.

"We should do this again." I suggested. He furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head.

"No babe. Just for tonight. Tomorrow I'll be your 1/5 of your clients and you'll be my stylist. We'll act like nothing happened. Forget." He said bluntly.

"But-"

"It's twelve. I'm going to go now. Have a goodnight rest." He let go of my waist and walked away. Wow. I turned around. Forget? He wants me forget all of this? Act like nothing happened? Before I knew it tears were streaming down my face. Wow. I can't believe this. I've always had a little crush on Niall. I mean, how couldn't you?! He's charming and good looking. It just hurts that I've been rejected by one of my close friends. I try to hold in the tears and hold my head up high. But for some reason I can't just brush this off. I don't know why. But I can't. I can't and I won't forget.
