Guys Like You

Chapter 14: Maybe

Chapter 14: Maybe

I mean, if he knew he would've told me right? Right? C'mon, give me a break.

"Hi." I hear a voice and I jump, thoroughly terrified. I turn around and look at a grinning Niall. I put my hand over my chest dramatically "Oh my God! Don't scare me like that!" I screech, sighing.

"Sorry," Niall mutters sheepishly "But I came in here to talk to you." Niall says with all the seriousness in the world and that's enough to send chills up my spine and vicious butterflies go off in my stomach like grenades that are going berserk.

Relax Anthea. You've got this.

"So. . .erm. . .did you have fun last night?"

I so don't have this.

"W-what?" I splutter, my lips start to shake.

"Did you like the party? It was killer, wasn't it? I can't even remember a thing after that prank we pulled on you." Niall chuckles, probably reminiscing my terrified expression last night. "Yeah," I laugh uncomfortably, shifting in my seat.

I gulp as Niall's face contorts into a serious expression yet again. "So that's it?" I asked, not being rude. "No, Alex was talking to me earlier about this picture she says is a "must see". I figured you would know what it is since Alex told me you would know." Niall says cluelessly. "I've been asking her countless times but she still wouldn't budge." Niall shrugs, completely unaware.

I decide to turn my acting skills on "What picture? I have no idea what that girl is talking about. Trust me." Okay, I know it's bad to lie, but under these circumstances, lying is very much an exception.

"Well alright then." I'm glad Niall doesn't push the subject. I'm very bad at thinking under pressure.

"May I have a cuppa?" Niall asks, sliding in the stool beside mine. I nod, smiling, I take a green mug with a four-leaf clover on it from the cabinet and pour Niall a cuppa. When I handed it to him, our fingers touched and we both looked away and blushed. Little tingles would appear whenever Niall is here. It starts from my toes and it sometimes makes me crinkle my nose.

But, weirdly enough, it always made me smile.

Could I be in love?

Maybe, but it's a given.

Besides, if I did fall in love with Niall what would that bring me?

The cons would be: getting hate from people all over the globe, being criticized and judged, and being embarrased and hurt.

The pros would be: I get to travel anywhere with Niall, I get to be happy all the time, I get to spend loads of time with him and the other blokes and most of all. . .

I get to be with someone whom I trully love.

I guess the pros win by a landslide. They weigh more than the cons but that doesn't mean that me falling for Niall is still going to happen. I have bo time for that and I guess I will never have time.

Okay, back to the story.

I watch as Niall takes a small sip from his cup and smiles gently, tracing the delicate detail of the green mug in his hands. "This mug was made for me." I hear Niall mutter quietly and I chuckle, nodding my head in agreement.

"You wanna hear a joke?" Niall asks out of the blue and I raise my eyebrows.

"Sure."

"Knock knock,"

"Who's there?"

"A cow."

"A cow who?"

"A cow goes moo!"

I burst out laughing at Niall's utterly idiotic and ridiculous joke.

"Oh here's a good one." I say after wiping away tears of laughter.

"What?" Niall asks, snickering.

"Knock knock."

"Who's there?"

"Orange."

"Orange who?"

"Orange."

"Orange who?!"

"Orange."

"Orange whooo?!"

"Orange you glad I didn't say orange again?"

Niall laughs this time and I laugh along. It's a good thing tea didn't come out from both our noses because of laughing too hard.

The rest of the afternoon was spent making dumbass jokes that made us crack up even though it wasn't the least bit funny.

What's funny is, nobody came in to disturb us.

How weird.
