Moments (A Niall Horan Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 9

Kat's P.O.V.

-The Date-

"Niall! Just tell me where we're going! We've been driving for hours", we've proably been driving for only 20 minutes or so but still.

He smiled and shook his head, "Nope!", he said popping the 'p', "And it hasn't been hours, you're just impatient." I pout, crossing my arms over my chest. He wouldn't tell me where we were going so I threw on something fancy but casual. It's my stone wash jeans, with my ruffled floral shirt, and sparkly converse. My hair is flattened and I put a blue flower in it.

"we're here!", he yells loudly. I look out my window to see a restaurant. When we walked inside, I was stunned, gob smacked you could say. "It's beautiful! Where is everyone?" I look around and see no one else but us and the waiters.

"I rented this whole place out for us. No fans, no paps, no worries. Just us." I smiled and hugged him." I love it". I look at our table; it's in the center of the dimly lit room, there was a candle and a vase, with a single rose in it, in the center of the table. He pulled out my chair for me and then sat across from me. "Music?", he asks. I nod.

He presses play and 'Without You' comes on. "I love this song. If it weren't for this being a date I'd be singing", I said not realizing it. He looks at me, "You sing? Please do!". I shake my head, "Not tonight. Maybe later". It looks as though he's about to say something. When the food arrives, "FOOD!", he exclaims.

A couple songs later and on to our dessert, he stops eating. I look up at him, "You alright? You've stopped eating, that never happens". I laugh tyring to get him to smile. "I'll be right back. I've got to use the bathroom", he gets up and walks away.

What the hell? We were having a great time talking, making jokes, laughing. Why the mood change? My thoughts are broken by my phone buzzing. *1 new text* I open it, it's from Zayn. Oh god, what now? The four words shock me.

Zayn: I love you Katerina.

No, no, no! I'm not supposed to think about you all night. Ow, my heart, he told me 'I love you' before Niall has. Shit! Wait, I look at who it's been sent to. MY number and... NO! He sent it to Niall also! What the hell is wrong with him?!

Niall's P.O.V.

I stand in front of the bathroom mirror. Things are going great, I'm gonna ask her to actually be my girlfriend, why was I freezing up? I pull out the bracelet I bought for her. I'm about to walk out when my phone buzzes, *1 new text* It's from Zayn, what does he want? Zayn: I love you Katerina. What the fuck! This was sent to me AND Kat. I look out the door and see Kat with her head in her hands, phone on the ground. She's read it, she seems...sad, pissed? Either way I can tell she's not happy.

I push him out of my mind. She needs to be happy. I walk out, "I'm back. You've seemed to have dropped this", I say handing her the phone. She looks up and wipes her eyes. She was crying! Now I'm pissed at him, "Hey you okay, Kat?"

She nods, "Yeah sorry. Something in my eye". Total lie, that bastard made her cry. I take her hand, "Kat?". She meets my eyes, "This is our first official and we've had our fun but", here it goes, "will you be my girlfriend?" I breathe in sort of holding my breath. A smile crosses her face, "Of course Niall, I'd love to be your girlfriend." I pull our the bracelet and slip it on to her wrist, "I got this for you". It's silver with pink and purple stones, one side is engraved with the word 'Beautiful', the other 'Lovely'. The rest of our night is full of laughter and smiles. Zayn is no where in thought.

It's about 8:30 when I drive her to her flat.

Kat's P.O.V.

"I had a really fun time with you Kat", he held my hand as we walked up to my flat. "Me too", I smiled at him. We just looked at each other for a while. "Kat", he said breaking the silence. "There's something wrong with your lips". I covered them, "What?! What is it?". He pulls my hands down and lifts my chin with his hand. He looks me in the eyes.

"My lips aren't on them", he smiles that cheecky grin. He did not just say that! He's leaning in and I realize I want really want to kiss him, I lean in closing the distance. 

Next thing I know our lips are touching. I don't want to sound cliché and say 'oh there were fireworks and magic and blah blah', but holy crap I felt something and there were definitely fireworks. We pulled apart and our foreheads rested against each other. We stood like this for a bit until he broke the silence, again, "Kat?". I look up to meet his eyes. God damn they're so blue and gorgeous. I bite my lip, I want to kiss him again.

"Kat, I really like you and I don't want to go into this whole thing about how I want you to choose me over Zayn but you mean something to me. I could tell when we first met-", I cut him off by kissing him. Behind this one is a little more force. His hands wrap around my waist bringing me closer. My arms around his neck, my fingers weaving into his hair. This kiss was full of want but still passionate. It's not like the other kiss, this is something newer. We pull apart, both a bit breath less, he looks at me. "I...I love you, Kat". I smile and kiss him again quickly. "I love you too Niall. You and only you".
