Only to Dance (n.s.) [ON HOLD]

XIV

Harry's POV

~2 weeks later~

I watched Niall enter the café gloomily, wishing that he would just speak to me again.

I can't believe I blew it. Niall totally knew I was the guy with the mask from the theater. There's no way that he couldn't know. His face when he realized it, I've never been so embarrassed, ashamed, and worried.

He kicked me out of his flat, just like that. I don't blame him either. He probably thinks I'm a creep. A creep who doesn't know how to ask him out so I just stalk him at the theater and dance with him sometimes. Oh god. Why.

After the first day, Cindy knew something was up. She had asked me if there was "trouble in paradise" so I told her to screw off, upset about what had happened before.

Eventually, after I told her about how Niall kicked me out, excluding the reason why he kicked me out, because she can't know about that, and she told me to woman up and just talk to him.

But how could I talk to him? He's Niall. A beautiful, amazing boy who's way out of my league and who is now mad at me. And creeped out.

I had spent half of that first week thinking of how I could approach him, not even sure what I would say. Cindy finally pushed me to talk to him at the café one day, but as soon as he saw me, his gorgeous blue eyes grew wide and he quickly left with Liam hot on his tail.

That's another thing that was bothering me. How was I supposed to apologize to Niall with Liam hanging around? Liam is practically Niall's bodyguard, and his best friend, so I bet by now he knows of the whole situation and will kick my asś if I go near the blonde boy.

But today I had actually made a plan. Today I would go to Niall and Liam's flat in an attempt to try to apologize to Niall. Hopefully he won't turn me away as soon as I get there.

After many deep breaths and a pep-talk through the phone with Cindy, I had finally gathered up the courage to leave my car and make my way into Niall's flat building.

On my way to his room I tried to think of what I should say to him.

I'm sorry I lied to you

I'm sorry I scared you

I'm sorry I creeped you out I didn't mean to—

Screw it, I'm just going to go for it.

I reached up and knocked on the door three times, bouncing on my heels nervously.

"Coming!" Said a soft voice from inside which made me crack a little smile.

Soon the door opened, revealing the angel himself.

"Okay Liam, I'm ready t-to g—" He stopped mid-sentence looking up at me with eyes full of shock and fear.

"O-oh, um... hi H-Harry..." he blushed.

"Hi, sorry, were you expecting someone?" I asked, not wanting to keep him from his plans.

He was dressed in a little baby blue dress, much like the one he wore the day I helped him with Josh. It was paired with a flower crown with small white flowers which made me smile at the innocence of this boy. He was also wearing a pair of white flats. He looked stunning.

"W-well I'm g-going out to d-dinner with Liam." He said nervously, looking away from me.

I felt my heart drop, not only because he was going to go out with Liam, but because he seemed scared and wary of me.

"Oh, well, um, I just wanted to apolog—" I started.

"Hey Niall!" I heard a voice call from down the hall, and both Niall and I turned to face a well-dressed Liam.

"Oh, hey. Harry... again." He said a little coldly.

I nodded and said an awkward 'hey' to him, not really quite sure what to do right now. Obviously this wasn't the right time to show up to Niall's door unexpected to apologize and pour out my feelings for him in the hopes that he'd understand.

"We've got reservations, so I'm sure you guys can talk later, right?" He asked, turning to look at Niall with a bright smile.

Niall looked at me as I just stared awkwardly, fiddling with my hands. "Y-yeah. See you l-later, Harry." He said.

I watched as Liam wrapped his arm around Niall's shoulders and they made their way down the hallway and out of the building, running my hands through my hair in the anxiety that I just may have been too late.

Were they going out on a date?

Short little chappie for you all. It's officially been a month since I've updated, I'm crap at this but it's been a crap summer for me so I'm trying to make it through and keep positive!

Anyways, what do you think of Niall and Liam's possible date? Do you think it's a date?

Don't forget to vote and comment! It makes me so happy and excited to write!

Lots of love,
