Chapter 3: Friends

Bel's P.O.V :

It's 10:00 p.m and it was time to close the store. Today I came without a car, the weather was quite nice and I figured I could have a walk. We said our 'goodnights' as everyone went in their separate ways, that's until.

"Hi" A voice spoke behinde me making me jump, the voice chuckled and it was a familiar laugh. Niall.

"God, you scared the shit out of me!" I spoke as my hands rested on my chest, right above my heart.

"Sorry, I wanted to talk to you" He spoke, blushing slightly, those once light pale cheeks flamed red as he have me a sheepish look..

"It's getting late" I spoke, as he flashed me a bright smile.

"We have time" He spoke as we started walking.

"What do you want?" I asked quietly. It made him turn his head and stare at me for a while before turning once again, taking a deep sigh.

"W-would you like to g-go out with m-me sometimes...?" He asked, once I completely knew what he was talking about, I stared at him with wide eyes.

"Is this becuase you wanna know why my life is ruined? Becuase if it is, then your gonna pay big time" I spoke through gritted teeth.

"No no! It's just that.... I had a c-crush on you s-since last year" He spoke, his cheeks turning rosy as he stared at his feet. Really? Me? A crush?

I started to laugh loudly making him look at me confused, "You can't crush on me, I'll crush your heart" I spoke simply as he still gave me a confused look, I groaned. I know I was a bit harsh, but the truth had to be told or else.

"Why would you crush me?" He asked, a look of confusion and hurt wrriten all over his face. I can't be with him, or anyone else. I can't love. I can't like. I can't anything. I don't wanna crush him, but I also can't tell him why I can't.

"I just will" I spoke as I felt someone catch my hands. I looked down to see him holding my hand, his touch simply made me go nuts. I didn't react; I simply looked at the other way as he started talking.

"Then I'll take the risk" He spoke, a smile on his lips. I blushed madly, still looking in another direction. Wait, I did not just blushed. Goodness Bel! What happened to you?

"I can't sorry" I spoke as I quickly released my hand from his grip making him frown. He looked so cute.

Shut up brain!

"Please, give me a chance!" He mostly shouted making me flinch. His eyes softened, his blues glinted with regret and guilt as cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scream like that" he spoke and I just nodded.

"One chance, that's all I'm asking for" He spoke and I looked into his eyes. His usual bright sea eyes got darker like waves in a stormy night. His eyes full of sadness and fright.

"Ok, just one chance!" I spoke sternly, breaking into a smile, I quickly changed it with a line. I never smiled before what happened. Ever.

He smiled brightly, like never before. Signaling that he have noticed that short period smile. I shrugged making him laugh.

"Tommorow at 7, dress something nice" He smirked.

"Don't expect me to wear a dress" I spoke sternly, making him laugh hysterically.

"If your perfect in sweats and tops, I don't think dresses will make any difference" He whispered, making chills fly down my spine.

He left with that, me standing there speechless and regardless of what just happened. I hope I won't break his heart. But it's a friend dinner. That's all, I guess....
