The Bucket List - A Niall Horan Story

Part 3

The beginning of the week had just flown by and before you knew it it was Wednesday night. You pulled into a parking space at the leisure club, spotting Katie waiting by the entrance. You were just undoing your seatbelt when you heard your phone beep. You looked down at the screen.

Fuck, it was Niall. Probably changed his mind about your Friday plans.

Hi Annie, wondered if you were free after your class tonight? Maybe get a pizza and hang out?

Fuck!

You start to reply deleting it a few times before you replied with - Hi Niall, yes I'm free, pizza sounds good. Class finishes at 8 so I'll be back by 8:30.

Fuck!

You saw Katie looking at you wondering what you were doing so you got out of the car and made your way over to her.

"Come on, hurry up hun!" She shouted across the car park.

"Sorry was just replying to a text." You replied. And then your phone bleeped again.

It was Niall again.

"Cool, shall I come to yours about 8:30? I'll get us a pizza delivered for then."

"Sounds perfect, I'll see you then x." You pressed send before you realised that you'd added a kiss at the end.

"Fuck!" You said out loud.

"What's up?" Katie asked.

"Fuck, I just added a kiss as at the end of my message to Niall. Fuck!"

What was he going to think??!!! There he was asking you to hang out with him and be his friend and you've added fucking kisses to his text!

"Oh you're texting Niall are you??!!!" She giggled.

"Not like that, he just wants to hang out later, but I've probably scared him off!"

Fuck!

Then your phone bleeped again.

"Looking forward to it x" He replied.

Fuck!

"What did he reply?" Asked Katie. You showed her your phone. "He likes you by the way!"

"What? No, he doesn't. He said he hasn't got time for girl's at the moment."

"Doesn't mean he doesn't like you, a guy can change his mind."

Fuck!

"What did he say then?" You questioned.

"He said to Willie that he thought you were really amazing and that he really enjoyed spending time with you."

"That doesn't mean he likes me more than a friend." You replied trying not to get your hopes up.

Your heart was now racing as you walked into the dance room. You felt like you'd already done the class now your heart was beating so fast. You thought back to the two times you'd met him. Yes you'd felt an instant connection, but you never thought he'd feel anything back.

God you felt sick now. Jeez. What was wrong with you?

Yes, it had been a while since Nick your ex.... 

ok a while being a year....

ok 15 months since you'd found him in bed with your step sister, but you really needed to sort yourself out. Calm the fuck down Annie you said silently to yourself.

You dumped your stuff to the side and made your way to start the class. Your mind was else where and you fucked up your moves more than once. You couldn't get the thought out your head that he liked you. Yes, you'd flirted with him but you'd done it as banter as you knew he wasn't looking for anything as he was so busy with his work, his album due out in a few months.
