Divine (A Josh Devine Fanfic)

Chapter 1

I was always lucky, I guess. I had the best five friends on the planet. And to make it better, they introduced me to more amazing people. Like Paul, Josh, Eleanor, Danielle, and of course Baby Lux. But they was always something missing.

It was romance. Sure, my friends were all guys, but there was no way I could feel romantic about any of them. Then one day, I realized that the perfect guy was in front of me the whole time.

"Claire, come on. Will you please just come to the concert tonight? We all want you there." Niall says to me as we walk into McDonalds.

It felt like whenever I hang out with him all we do is eat. "But I've been to about a billion other concerts on this tour." I say. "Then let's make tonight a billion and one." He smirks. "Fine. I'll come. You have me convinced." I laugh and pull out my phone.

I go through my twitter feed and see that Niall tweeted five minutes ago.  

"Grabbing a bite to eat with my bestest friend ever." It read.

Out of all the guys, I was closest with Niall. When we first met, we had an instant connection. Our friendship just clicked.

"Someone's looking forward to seeing you tonight." He snickers as he types away on his Blackberry. "Who?" I ask, craning my neck over towards his phone.  

"A secret admirer. I'm not supposed to say who though." He laughs and then skips over to the counter to order some food.

Later that night, as I'm getting ready, I keep in mind what Niall had said earlier. Someone was clearly crushing on me from afar. I wonder how long this has gone on.

I decided to curl my hair and do a smoky eye. I always felt sexy when I wore my eye makeup like that. I slipped on a white lacy tank top, black skinny jeans, and my stilettos.

The boys picked me up in a big SUV. Niall rolled down his window as I walked up. He let out a loud whistle. "Damn girl." He laughs as I crawl into the backseat.

The only empty space was next to Josh. My heart began beating a little faster as I say beside him. "Hello Claire." He says to me, quietly. "Hi." I whisper back as I buckle my seatbelt.

The only person I ever told about my crush on Josh was Niall. I didn't want to tell him because I was afraid that it might ruin our friendship.

On the drive to the venue, I feel an electric charge between us. "You look really nice tonight." He says as he shoots me a huge grin. I quietly thank him as I blush.

I glance up at the front seat and see Niall looking at the two of us with a smirk on his face.

The car pulls to the back of the arena and we all pile out and go inside.

As we walk, I feel Josh's body close by me. Then Niall comes up from behind me and links arms with me. "Slow down, I'm in heels." I punch him playfully. "I can't keep this to myself anymore." He whispers.

"Your secret admirer just happens to be a certain drummer. That's all I'm gonna say about that." He lets go of my arm and begins to walk away. "Wait... do you mean Josh?" I whisper, looking back at him. Thankfully he was too busy talking to Liam to notice me staring at him. "Maybe." Niall says and then prances ahead.

If he was right , that meant that we both felt the same way about each other. All I had to figure out was now to talk to him.
