College roommates

Chapter 11

It was now Sunday, and I had to do my homework. I knew it had to be done, but I still pushed it off until today as usual. I was having a hard time concentrating though because Niall was watching Netflix.
"Hey Ni, can you turn that down a little?"
"Oh yeah. Sorry mate."
I continued working for another hour before Niall decided I needed a break.
"Come get coffee with me."
"I don't drink coffee, Ni"
"Then get a tea or a muffin. Pleeeaaase Harry?" he said giving me his puppy dog eyes. Damn it, I can't resist those eyes.
"Ok fine." I agreed.
We walked to Starbucks, and I ordered my tea and a cake pop. As I was reaching in my pocket for my wallet, Niall stopped me.
"Don't worry about it. It's on me." he said as he paid for our things.
"Oh um thanks." I said blushing slightly.
"So Harry, tell me, has anybody caught your eye since we've been at university?" Why did he have to ask that?
"Umm yeah there is someone actually. How about you? Any lucky ladies that have your attention?"
"Yeah. There's this one girl.."
Of course he likes a girl. I just nodded and continued drinking my tea.

Niall's P.O.V.

I don't know why I told Harry I like a girl. There is no girl that has my attention. However, there is someone with my attention. I'm realizing that I wasn't as straight as I once thought. I really like Harry. Ever since he kissed me at truth or dare, I've been wanting to do it again. That kiss sent electricity through my body, and I've been craving it again. I wanted to ask him on a date, but I've been too afraid. by paying for his sStarbucks, I was able to allow myself to pretend I was taking him on a date just for a moment. When Harry said he likes someone, I was really hoping it was me. I didn't ask who it was because I was afraid it wasn't me. On top of that, I was stupid enough to tell him I like a girl. I need to talk to Liam about this. He's Harry's best friend, so maybe he knows something. At the very least, Liam is wise and can give me adivce.

Liam's P.O.V. (surprise)

Niall had sent a text asking if he could talk to me. I had no idea what he wanted to talk about, but I'm just sitting in my room waiting for him to come. When he finally arrived he came in, and I knew he was serious about what he was going to say. His face held a serious expression.
"Liam I need your help."
"What's going on?"
"I like someone, and I'm not sure what to do."
"You like someone!? Who is the lucky girl?!"
"Umm it's a guy actually." he said shyly.
"Aww Niall, that's so sweet. Who is it?"
"It's Harry. Ever since Zayn dared us to kiss I've wanted to do it again, but I'm too afraid in case he doesn't feel the same way. I don't want things awkward between us."
"Oh Niall. I think you should talk to him. Even if he doesn't feel the same way, he will still want to be your friend. And if he does feel the same, think of how happy you'll be."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
"Thanks."
And with that Niall left my room. Harry will be happy to know his crush likes him back.
