If It Takes Me Forever

We meet again (Part Two)

Zayn's POV

I dragged Nikian out of the washroom. It'd be easier if I just carried her, but I didn't because she might get pissed off at me. 

"You really shouldn't worry," I said, trying to shake off her nervousness. 

"Yeah I know, but I'm just shy..." she replied in a quiet voice.

 "I'm shy too." I said.

"No you're not, if you weren't then how are you a superstar?!" she replied.

Then I stopped, I turned to face her and looked her in her brown eyes.

"That's after I overcame it. To be honest, I was an actor back in the day in Europe in School, but that was only because I have to wear a costume, and I didn't have to be myself. But when I had to enter X-Factor, that's when I had to be myself, and you have no clue how nerve racking it was, picking up every inch of my guts. But I did it, I agreed to do it, because my mom told me that sometimes, you gotta take risks, come out of your shell. Meet new people, the chances of people liking you are always half, but that's life. And I really don't understand, why you're so insecure and shy... Have you looked at yourself? Did you look at yourself whilst you were in the washroom? YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL! Bee-You-Tee-Full! As gorgeous as Kara!” I said, emphasizing ‘you’. This girl... Is going to be quite a work. This will be something new to Haz. He's always got girls fall for him easily.  Wait… Whoa, I just noticed I said as gorgeous as Kara. Okay, that slipped out of my mouth... Huh? Why did I just say that?  

"That was inspiring. You sure about being a singer? And not a confidence councillor?" She asked, laughing. 

"I'm sure to eventually be both." I replied, chuckling.  

"Yeah you're right. I really gotta stop letting my past affect my future. And I've really got nothing to lose." She said, confidently this time. "Okay, let's do this poo!" She said, smiling, grabbing my arm.  

"YEAH BUDDY!" I said, walking out to the patio with her, to find everybody set up. Everyone looked, and it got quiet. Haz had this happy/pissed look on his face. I let my arm loose from her hands.  

"Hi everybody, this is Nikian. Well, that's my nickname for her, but her real name is Nikki Anne, so I decided to combine her name cause it's much easier to say."  I said smiling to everyone. 

Josh's POV

"Hi everybody, this is Nikian. Well, that's my nickname for her, but her real name is Nikki Anne, so I decided to combine her name cause it's much easier to say."  Zayn said, introducing her to us.  

"Hello everyone," she blushed, smiling at us then turned her eyes to the floor. I dedicate WMYB to her. Seriously. She looks so shy and delicate, hiding behind Zayn... fidgeting her fingers, not knowing what to do. Why is she not confident?! Has she looked at a mirror? She's got the rarest face, I swear, but it's beautiful. She kinda looks like her sisters but she probably looks more like someone else from the family.  

"Hi, I'm Josh, this is Dan, Jon and Sandy." I said, smiling at her, pointing to the guys. 

"Hi Nikian, I'm Paul, the boys' bodyguard. You look wonderful tonight!" He smiled, complimenting her. Damn right, she does look wonderful. 

Her curly hair, her brown eyes, her short height, her white pearly teeth, her smile, her lips, her body, her eyes, and her eyes. Everything! She's just so beautiful, and she should know! 

"I'm Louis." Lou said smiling at her. 

"And I, am Harry." Harry said, standing up walking up to her, taking her hand to sit beside him.
