The Moment My Life Started

Chapter 19

Niall’s P.O.V

I was thinking of kissing her when we were in the car. I was thinking of me saying that I didn’t have anything to ask her; actually I was kicking myself for it. Punishing myself by not touching her or looking at her in the car. I saw her hurt when I said that. We were walking into the flat when I couldn’t control myself anymore.

I grabbed her arm and I shut the door and forced her back to the wall and kissed her desperately. “I’m sorry.” I mumbled against her lips as they parted. She grabbed my face and she kissed me back eagerly. I slid my tongue into her mouth and massaged it against hers. I felt her gasp and smile against my mouth. I heard the door open and I opened an eye a slit and saw Liam standing there he smirked and closed the door again. We carried on for a few minutes her hands traveling up my torso and knotting in my hair. I had one hand tangled in her hair and another one stroking her back. I broke away and pressed my forehead to hers breathing hard. Her lips were red and swollen and I was assuming mine were too. I slowly leaned it and gently pressed my lips to hers. I broke away from her and we sat on the floor with our backs against the walls with our fingers intertwined catching our breaths.

“Briyanna McDonald?” I ask looking at her as soon as I caught my breath.

“Yes Niall Horan?” She returns my gaze.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” I ask a smile creeping across my lips. She grins and plants a kiss on my mouth.

“Yes.” She whispers against my lips and I shiver. I get up with a smile that refuses to leave my face and offer her my hand. She takes it and stands up. I wrap my hand around hers and turn the door knob to go into the flat. We walked into the flat and everybody had their eyes on us. Danielle and Eleanor whispered something to each other and laughed. I didn’t care what they said though. I haven’t been this happy since X Factor. I pulled her on top of my lap as I sat on the couch and she giggled.

“Guys meet my girlfriend.” I said as Briyanna threw her head back filling the room with her hearty laugh and ruffled my hair. The rest of the boys congratulated us.

“What should we do tonight?” I looked at the clock and it read 4 o’clock.

“How about we watch a movie and then go out for dinner?” Briyanna suggested earning the approval from everybody in the room.

“Can we watch-” Liam started but was cut off by everybody.

“No!” We all rejected in unison. I guess Briyanna knew of Liam’s frightening obsession with Toy Story.  

“Briyanna should pick.” Louis said and she jumped up out of my arms and ran to my room where her suit cases were. She came back with a movie clutched to her chest and she put it in the DVD player and before she sat down she grabbed three tissue boxes from the cabinet. She gave one to Eleanor and one to Danielle, before keeping the last for herself. I looked at her in confusion and she just grinned and turned on the movie. The title filled up the screen and I heard the Danielle and Eleanor gasp. I turned to see them smiling at Briyanna.

“This is such a good movie!” They both gushed.

“I know.” She smiled sitting down beside me with the tissue box and my arm snaked around her waist and she leaned into me. “It’s my favorite.” We all stopped talking as the images filled the screen, by the time Jamie told Landon that she had leukemia and she wasn’t responding to treatment anymore all the girls were sniffling. I pulled Briyanna closer and she snuggled into me further. When Landon asked Jamie to marry him even though she was so sick, I couldn’t even control myself. I looked over at Harry and I notice that he was crying. We looked at each other and silently laughed at each other and I passed him a tissue grabbing one for myself. Everybody laughed at us. Briyanna, still laughing, wrapped her arms around my waist. I heard Briyanna whispering along with the movie. “Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceded. It is never rude or selfish is does not take offence it is not resentful.” She must have seen this move over and over. By the end of the movie, the girls, me and harry were all huddled together on the couch crying. It was embarrassing, but in my defense, it was a horribly sad and amazing movie.

“I want a Jamie.” Harry said wiping his eyes. The rest of the boys were killing themselves laughing at us. Once we regained ourselves Harry and I stood up brushing off and tried to pick up what was left of our dignity.

“Let’s go eat.” I said lowering the pitch of my voice to sound more masculine. Everyone laughed and got up.

“Where should we go?” Briyanna asked.

“Nandos!” I cried throwing my hands up.

“I haven’t been there since the last time I was here. I’m up for it.” Briyanna spoke up.

“Then let’s go.” Zayn said grabbing his coat. We piled into our car that Liam had called to pick us up.

“To Nandos!” Harry yelled as he charged into the car. We all got in after him laughing. We got to Nandos and we were seated instantly. I didn’t have to look at my menu before I knew what he wanted. The waiter came by with our drinks and asked us if we were ready to order. Harry ordered the tacos, I ordered the large serving of spaghetti and Briyanna ordered the chicken parmesan. The rest of the group ordered and the waiter took the menus.

“So, what did you guys think of the movie?” Briyanna says winking at me.

Danielle and Eleanor gushed over Landon, the lead male. While Harry was the first to speak up. “I really admire Jamie. She was so strong and so in love and she still believed love conquered all. That quote about love being patient, wow. It was a really good movie.” Louis, Liam and Zayn all looked at him and laughed.

“Bro, you’re just as bad as the girls.” Zayn laughed as they brought us our food. Before I started eating I leaned over and whispered into Briyanna’s ear.

“I really enjoyed the movie.” She smiled up at me.

“No matter how many times I watch it is always makes me cry.” I squeezed her hand under the table and went back to eating. It was amazing.

“Wanna try some Briyanna?” I said holding out my fork. As soon as the words escaped my mouth forks clattered from hands that had dropped them. The hands that dropped the forks belonged to my band mates who had shock plastered all over their faces.

“You offered someone your food?” Harry asked shocked and I realized that was something I had never done.

“Yeah I guess.” I said and turned back to Briyanna who took my fork and ate the spaghetti off of it.

“That is really good. Here try this.” She said holding her fork out to me. I tried the chicken that was on it.

“That’s amazing.” I said and we smiled at each other and turned back to our own plates. Not long after mine and Briyanna’s phones rang and we looked at them it was a tweet from Louis.

‘Niall sharing food?! Who is this person?’ Attached to it was a picture of me holding out my fork to Briyanna. We rolled our eyes and I kicked Louis under the table. After we were done, the boys and I all pitched in for the dinner refusing to let the girl pay a cent. We walked out of the restaurant and Briyanna’s phone started ringing. Her face was masked with horror as she saw the number.  She answered it cautiously and held up a finger telling us to give her a minute. Still with the face of horror, she walked a couple metres away from us before I saw tears streaming down her face.
