Niall’s POV

I walked towards Clare’s room, yesterday’s event running through my mind. What had made Clare so upset? I hated to see her in any kind of pain and I really wanted to know, but I wasn’t going to push her. I’d wait until she was ready. I heard complicated music notes floating through the door, they drifted to an end. Holy crap! That was the best piano playing I’d ever heard.

I knocked on her door, she opened it and she was wearing a singlet and sweats, hair in a messy bun. She had never looked more gorgeous. “Oh hey Niall, what’s up?” she asked grabbing my hand and pulling me inside. She pushed me onto the couch before disappearing into the kitchen.

Clare’s POV

I came back balancing two cups of coffee and a plate of nachos. “How did you know I was hungry?” Niall said, grabbing the plate and a cup of coffee before I dropped them.

“Honey, you are always hungry” I rolled my eyes and plonked next to him.

“Yeah so true” he set his coffee and food down on the table “Can I ask you something?”

“Go for it” I smiled, also putting my coffee down.

“Well its two questions actually, first off was that you playing the piano?” he was looking at me with those blue eyes but I avoided his gaze. Should I tell him?

“Umm if I said no would you believe me?” I looked up through my eyelashes.

“Not for a second” he chuckled “Clare, you are amazing. Whatever you were playing was beautiful” Niall tugged on my hand and I curled up into his side.

“Thanks” I kissed his shoulder “and your other question?” he started to slid away from me. “Oi where do you think you’re going” I protested. Then he slid down onto one knee.

“Clare Eloise Liana, will you do me the hono-“ Niall started but I put my hand over his mouth.

“No, stop talking, stop. No more talking” I shook my head vigorously. WE HAD JUST MET! He licked my palm. “Eww Nialler that’s so gross!” I smacked him lightly on the shoulder laughing.

“Let me finish, Clare Eloise Liana will you do me the honour of accompanying me on our very first date, tomorrow 7pm the 20th of December”

“I’d love to!” I laughed wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug.

“Oh and just dress casually okay”

“Okay” I kissed him softly but them it turned into something more. I’m not entirely sure how, but we ended up on the couch with Niall missing his shirt. It was then that Louis decided to enter.

“Get in there Niall” he yelled shocking us out of our bubble. I blushed and handed Niall his shirt. He pulled it on.

“You better have a good reason for interrupting” he said wrapping his arms around my waist.

“Just wondering if you wanted to come shopping with us?” Zayn asked.

“Sure, you coming Clare” Niall asked pulling me up.

“Na, I’ll give it a miss” I turned to Niall and said quietly “to finish what I was doing before”

“You mean playing the- “ he started.

“Ahhh, not anything” I gave him a look that said be quiet or you will lose your man-hood.

“Ok awkward. Let’s get going” grinned Liam as the boys followed him. I pecked Niall as he left. Once they were all out the door Zayn hung back.
