Niall Horan Love Story: A Summer To Remember

Chapter 4: A Bitter Sweet Surprise

I woke up, and to my suprise I was in my room. Didn't I fall asleep on the couch? No matter, I opened my closet and looked through all of my clothes. I decided on wearing a salmon colored dress, with cute little sandles. Then, I turned on the radio, and a good song, Heartbreak World by Matt Nathanson, was on. I started dancing around my room, only to hear giggles coming from behind my closed door.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"Just Niall. Can I come in?" he asked. I quickly got into my dress, and fixed my hair a bit.

"Yeah, sure, come in."

"Hi, just wanted to tell you breakfast is ready." he smiled.

"Okay, thanks. Did you make it?" I asked.

"Yes, with my own two hands. And aren't you wondering how you got up here after you feel asleep on the couch?"

"A little." I admitted. More like a lot.

"Well, you feel asleep during the end of the movie, right on my shoulder actually, and I didn't want to wake you so I carried you upstairs." he looked embarrassed as he said this

I blushed. "Niall, I'm sorry, I didn't want you to go through that much trouble."

"No, it's fine, really," he smiled. "Let's go eat." he motioned for me to come downstairs. I told him to wait a second while I put on my makeup.

"Trust me Linea, you don't need makeup." he commented.

"Don't lie." How could he say that about me, out of all people?

"Come on, you're absolutley beautiful. I'm not just saying that because you are Harry's little cousin, I'm saying it because it's true." he sat on my bed as I stood in the bathroom that was connected to my room; still putting on my makeup.

"Thank you!" I exclaimed. Niall chuckled at my reaction to that statement.

I heard my phone buzzing, and Niall shouted over to me, "Mind if I open your text?" I shrugged.

*Niall's P.O.V.*

A name came up on the screen; it was from a girl named Leanne.

Katie: How's is going with NIALL? Haha, you know, that guy you can't stop talking about? ;)

"What did it say?" she asked.

"I didn't get a chance to read it." I said. I knew it was a lie, but I couldn't afford to end what's been going in because if a stupid text.

*Linea's P.O.V.*

I grabbed my phone out of his hands. My arm brushed against his, and I could feel the sparks. Judging by his expression, so could he.

"Linea, even though yesterday was a total bust, do you want to go somewhere again? How about Nando's this time?" he asked. The question caught me off guard, I didn't expect him to ask me out again. I should've supposed there was something between us last night when he kissed me though.

"Maybe," I shrugged. I didn't want to sound too eager. "Is that a maybe-because-he's-making-me-feel-very-awkward or a yes,-maybe,-I-think-I-want-to?" he looked uneasy into my eyes. I bit my lip, with a half smile. We were so close, our lips an inch away. "I know I haven't known you long, but Linea Styles, I really like you." he whispered. With that, he grabbed my shoulders, and our lips crushed together. His hands moved from my shoulders to my head, and one hand feel to my cheek. I grasped onto his upper back, and one hand found it's way to the back of his neck. Our lips move at the same time; perfectly in sync and absolutley wonderfully.

I retreated from the kiss, after about 12 seconds; which was long enough for me, I knew I couldn't fall for him. I had my reasons; my crazy, selfish and unwavering reasons. So I thought. I just couldn't be certain of any boy, because you see, when Kyle left, so did part of my life. It might sound ridiculous, but it's fully true.
