Niall's POV

Ugh! Why did I have to say it like that? I'm so stupid. I just lowered my chances with her

Yes, I know I have a girlfriend but honestly I think she's only after the fame and money. Whenever there are paparazzi around, she pretends not to like it but I can see right through her. She secretly loves the attention

I have to do something about that soon. I don't want a girl to be after the fame and the money. I want a girl to like me for me

Sasha just walked away with the cart to buy groceries. I sighed frustrated with myself

I followed her and saw her in the vegetable aisle. I just stood behind her amd tried talking to her a few times but she woild just occupy herself to not seem rude or just blatantly ignore me

"Look Sasha-" I tried to say but she cut me off

"Save it Horan. I did nothing to you yet you blew up on me" she said with anger in her eyes

"You blew up on me first!" I retorted

"Yes I did. But I tried apologizing but no. You just had to blow up on me" she said

"I'm sorry alright? I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to blow up on you and I was just really stressed" I said putting my head in my hands

"But why me, Niall? You don't think I'm stressed? I just lost my mother Niall and I'm halfway across the world from my home and I'm not stressed?" She said her voice softening

"I know. I'm sorry Sasha. I'm really really sorry" I said my voice weak and fragile

It was a few moments of silence between us. I was about to walk away when she held on to my wrist

"I forgive you" she said quietly

My eyes lit up like a christmas tree and I spun around and hugged her like it was my last. I kept repeating 'thank you' to her. I carried her bridal style and spinned around in circles

"Niall! Put me down! I'm getting dizzy" she exclaimed pounding on my back

"Fine fine" I pouted and put her down

She kissed my cheek and my smile returned to my face once again

"Come on! I have to finish shopping!" She said dragging me

We continued shopping for about an hour and we finally finished. We went to a quick checkout and smiled at the lady in the till

She seemed frozen in her spot for a little while but she quickly recovered and put a smile on her face, she flipped her hair a bit too dramatically and batted her eyelashes at me. She sent me a wink which sent unwanted shivers down my spine

Sasha leaned in "She got the hots for you Niall" she whispered, she winked and giggled. That damn giggle,. I chuckled at her statement and saw the girl glaring daggers at Sasha

She seemed oblivious to what was happening around her as she scrolled through her phone. I placed the groceries on the table and after a while, Sasha took notice and helped me
