And then I met You ➳ n.h

Universe in the Palm of my Hands

"How much you wanna bet he's gonna sit next to you?" Jenni whispered into my ear as we walked into the theater.

"Seriously Jennifer?? So what if he does?" I answered. I mean, the idea isn't so bad. Wait. What am I saying?! Ugh. Unbelievable of you Anabeth!

As Jenni said, Niall ended up sitting next to me. He say to my right, Jennifer to the left and Liam followed.

I knew that watching a scary movie would make me yell, or maybe even pee myself! Ok not that bad..but it would get me really scared that I would probably end up jumping out of my seat and leaving before the movie even reaches 10 minutes of playing. Just the fact of having my best friend sitting next to me made this whole scary movie thing a little better and adding Niall and popcorn to the package made me want to stay, even if the movie as horrendous!

You know how in a scary movie the worst part start towards the middle of the movie? Well, this movie had me hitting my nails since the very beginning! And I think Niall realized that because he just held my hand and said, "haha. Don't be scared! It's just a movie. I'll protect you!" Ha! As if mister! You can't protect me from the supernatural!! Unless..you're supernatural yourself. I didn't answer anything. I just kinda laughed and kept watching the movie.
Maybe it sounds too classic to say that I felt as if I had the whole universe in the palm of my hands, but I did.

Even tho it was a horror movie I still was into it, that doesn't happen much, and I was so into the movie that I didn't realize Niall and I had been holding hands the entire hour and a half we had been there. It took me a while before I noticed that fact. I turned to look at him. Until now I realize how I've felt all night...

Before I even saw him..I wasn't nervous but something in me felt weird.

When he said I looked nice I felt shy and I'm sure I blushed.

When we were eating pizza...I didn't talk much. All I wanted to do was remember that moment.

When Liam walked in he said, "so you're the famous Anabeth Niall talks about all the time!" Which made me chuckle.

When Jennifer pointed all that out, I blushed and kinda wished it was true.

When he sat next to me, it made me kinda happy,

and now that he's here holding my hand. I feel shy. But I feel safe..I feel comfortable.

What's going on?! This is not like me. I don't even know how I'm feeling. I know I met him months ago. But I had never spent time with him until now. And even tho it's the first time we hang out, it feels so comfortable and normal. I don't have to pretend to be someone else, I can be myself. And for some reason...I don't want this night to end. I've never felt like this. Does it mean I haven't liked someone in a while? What did I just say?? A better question would be..does this mean I like him??? Now I'm wondering too much. I'm in my own train of thoughts. What if what Jenni said is true.? What if he does like me?

I thought to much that when the movie was over Jennifer had to shake me a little so I'd stand up and walk out of the theater.

Niall gave me a smile as he held the door for us then he went and talked to Liam, you know, a boy-talk, while I talked to Jenni.

"Damn you really zoned out. Didn't you? What were you thinking about?" She asked me as we walked to the limo.

She's been like my sister since forever, we are now high schoolers, seniors to be exact, so she knows me too too well.

"I can't hide it from you, can I? Well, I was thinking of what you were telling me. And about how I won't get any sleep tonight thanks to that movie!!" I said joking around with her.

"Haha..okay then! And about what I said. You know I don't say something unless it's the truth, and to me..it's pretty darn obvious that there's something going on."

"Maybe..maybe not. Let's give it time. I mean, it's barely the first time I hang out with him!"

"Yeah but you've talked to him for a while now..that also counts."

"Uh huh. Whatever! All I know right now is that I feel fat with all this food and that I want sleep."

Jenni rolled her eyes at me but then laughed, she knows I will not admit it. Not until maybe a year passes by..if she's lucky. Okay maybe not that long! But still..

We got in the limo which was parked right in the middle of the parking lot. Really?! That limo was just..there. And nobody thought: oh! Maybe a famous singer or artist is here! Let's go fan girl all over them!

People these days really need to focus on things more. Haha. Look who's talking! But really. I am amazed at how people cannot realize the obvious at times. In this case, how nobody wondered why was there a limo in the middle of a theater parking lot at 2 am.

We stopped by several "open 24 hours" stores on our way back to the hotel. It was hilarious how the workers would be either too sleepy to realize it was Liam Payne and Niall Horan from One Direction, or too shocked to see some random people wondering around stores this early in the morning.

We finally got to the hotel:

"Goodbye Blondie! Thanks for such a fun adventure!" I said to Niall.

"Haha. Goodbye Brunette! Thanks to you for making today unforgettable. Will I see you soon?"

"In the concert. I'll see you there for sure." I smiled.

"And before that..?" He said with puppy eyes.

"You tell me.." I said as I walked out of the hotel.

He smiled and nodded. "I sure will. Bye bye.."

Jenni and I got in the car and drove back home. After such an amazing day..and night..all I wanted was to sleep. This was a night to remember.
