Chapter Fourteen

~ Niall’s Point Of View ~

As Harry, Zayn, Liam, Freya, Emma and I made our way to the entrance, I thought I spotted someone I recognised so I squinted. My stomach did a flip as I came to conclusion it was her but my happiness soon ran dry when I realised she was upset.

“Afsana?” I shouted before running towards her after I had thrown the giant dog to Harry. Her head whipped up to reveal those sweet blue eyes scanning me with bewilderment. Her eyes were filled with tears and she sniffed a little.

“Niall what are you doing here?” I sat on the bench beside her which was not too far from the entrance. I looked up to see that the guys were still a bit away from me.

“Came to have some fun with those guys,” I answered. “Hey, are you okay? What happen? Why are you crying?” My throat became dry. I hated it when she was upset and usually she’s been upset a lot due to her boyfriend.

“It’s Jason…” She trailed off and thrust herself at me, so I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a comforting hug.

“Oh what has he done now? I told you he’s no good for you. He doesn’t care about you like I do.” It frustrated me that she stayed with him after all the things he did. At that moment one of our songs came into my mind. Save You Tonight described the situation perfectly. He only uses her and she could do way better.

“Well, you don’t have to worry anymore. He broke up with me,” she mumbled into my neck which caused a shiver of pleasure down my spine. Oh, I really like her and she already knew it. She told me ages ago she reciprocated the feeling although she couldn’t find it in herself to break it off with her boyfriend. She shook in my arms.

“Hey, shh… don’t cry. It’s okay. I’m here now.” I tried to calm her down. Her tears were making my neck wet.

“I’m so glad you’re here.” She pulled away to look into my eyes. Her face… her eyes, her lips, her nose – she was so beautiful. “You always listen to my pointless rants. You’re always around to pick up the pieces and you always tolerate me even when I don’t listen to you.”

I looked away from her to see that the guys were stood by the entrance, giving Afsana and I some space. Even Louis and Eleanor joined them. I let off a quiet laughter as I saw Louis was wearing a hat in the shape of the face of an elephant. I turned back to Afsana to see she was still staring at me. She didn’t even flinch when I looked at her.

“You make yourself sound annoying,” I chuckled, referring to her earlier comment.

“Isn’t that what I am? Aren’t you annoyed with me, acting like my baby-sitter all the time or something?” She looked so adorable and I couldn’t help myself from glancing at her lips; those pink, plump lips.

“I don’t think you’re annoying. You’re amazing Afsana. Yeah, you have problems but someone has to care for you. You’d be broken if you had no one to look after you,” I answered with a reassuring smile. She undermined herself so much. She was so much more. 

“You are the sweetest person I have ever met, Niall Horan. Honestly, you’re awesome!” The wind blew her hair over her face so I pushed her fringe behind her ear so I could admire her eyes. I could no longer resist. I’d been fighting the urge for her sake but now she was free of him I couldn’t help it. I found myself leaning in towards her and placed my lips on hers. She didn’t seem at all surprised and immediately reacted. Minutes later we could hear the guys shouting.

“Okay, I think that’s enough. Hurry up already! It’s freezing,” Louis shouted at us.

“Hey, we’re all headed back to ours, wanna join us?” I asked her once we parted.

“What if they don’t want me there?” She asked nervously, biting the side of her bottom lip.

“Then, they’ll have to deal with me.” I was aiming to make her laugh and that’s what I got. “Don’t worry, they won’t mind.”

“Okay then, Mum’s not expecting me until ten pm,” she replied.

“We’ve got plenty of time then,” I smiled. I stood up and took her hand. We walked hand in hand towards the rest of the guys.

As we all walked to the car, Afsana introduced herself to Emma. Freya, Eleanor and the guys had already met her before. Emma made Afsana feel welcome and they chatted the whole way to the car.

“Err… guys, the car only fits seven people and there are nine of us. I think two of you will have to walk,” Louis pointed out.

“Oh, I don’t mind walking,” Zayn offered. I noticed that Freya frowned at this. Everyone knew Freya liked Zayn, it was extremely obvious. We all knew that Freya hated walking but she wanted Zayn to be with her.

“I don’t want to be a bother, I’ll walk,” Afsana suggested. She’s so sweet.

“I’ll come with you two,” I said. After all, I didn’t want to leave Afsana after we’d just kissed.

“Great, we even have an extra space,” Louis cheered.

“Actually Freya’s big enough to fit both seats,” Harry teased, climbing into the back seat before Freya could do anything. Emma laughed and took the back seat next to him. Freya and Eleanor sat in the middle, while Liam and Louis sat at front.

“Don’t worry, we’ll look after little Zayn,” I joked, talking to Freya before Afsana, Zayn and I began to walk along the pavement. The others drove off with a wave.
