Golden Heart n.s

NIALL

The bar is hundreds of conversations told in loud voices, all of them competing with the music that's filling the atmosphere.

But I could still hear it.

His voice.

It's ringing through the background, past all the chatter and drunken slurs.

My ears perk up and I'm trying to stand on my tip toes, trying to see the small stage up front, desperate to see his face.

"Just a little bit of your heart is all I want." I hear him sing beautifully, but I still could not see him past all the big bodies.

Damn you for being so short, Niall.

"Just a little bit of your heart."

"Niall, where are you going, mate? The bar is to your right!" I push myself further up to the front, ignoring Louis's calls, and ignoring the glares from others whom I'm conveniently shoving away.

"Oi! Watch it mate!" Someone scolds as I accidentally knock into his shoulder.

"Sorry." I murmur.

"Just a little bit of your heart. Just a little bit is all I'm asking for."

"Excuse me." I mutter, before once again, shoving through the crowd.

"Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh..."

Is it rude if I suddenly just stood on a table or climbed onto someone's shoulder just so I can see him?

Yeah, not rude at all if you wanna get kicked out.

I sigh in annoyance, standing on my tip toes, finally getting a small glimpse of his curls sitting on the top of his head. I can feel my heart pounding in my ears with adrenaline and excitement. Excitement of seeing him.

My breath hitches as I finally step around this stupidly tall guy, finally standing right in front of the small stage, looking up to see the familiar pair of dark emerald eyes already staring right back at me. He must have seen me when I entered.

I think my ribs are gonna break at how hard my heart is pumping, and how hard my lungs are working thanks to my erratic breathing.

Though, I can't help but to frown slightly when I spot some bruises on his jaw and cheekbones.

What the hell did he get himself into this time?

"I don't ever tell you how I really feel." He sings lowly, his eyes drilling right into mine, sending shockwaves through my body.

"'Cause I can't find the words to say what I mean. And nothing's ever easy. That's what they say. I know I'm not your only. But I'll still be a fool... 'Cause I'm a fool for you.."

Not once did his intense gaze leave mine, his green eyes flickering with so many emotions jumbled together, specks of golden in some angles wherever the lights hit. He's mesmerising, really. Absolutely beautiful. Absolutely enchanting.

He visibly gulps, blinks slowly as though trying to shake off the trance we were both in, before he starts singing once more.

"Just a little bit of your heart. Just a little bit of your heart. Just a little bit of your heart... is all I want. Just a little bit of your heart. Just a little bit of your heart. Just a little bit is all I'm asking for. Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh...
