Between Boys (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12: Ice cream on my chin

Seeing as the music in the hotel elevator is nauseating, I put in my ear buds and turn on some One Direction songs.

Listening to the boys knowing that two out of the five of them like me is indescribable yet rather troubling when I come to think of it. 

Dancing with Niall was incredible, everything just seemed so right even though we were basically complete strangers dancing to a love song. I really wished we would've kissed, maybe that would have started some sort of relationship between him and I.

My smoothie date with Liam was just as amazing, it felt like I’ve known him forever although it was only our first time meeting. 

I guess I have to choose who I feel for the most because unfortunately, I can’t have both of them.

Once the elevator reaches the fifth floor, the big metallic doors open and I find myself standing face to face with Niall.

“Niall! What are you doing here?” I say on pleasantly surprised tone.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” he starts. “I went to your room and your sister answered the door. She said you were down at the beach with friends so I waited for a bit but got hungry. I was just heading downstairs and well, here you are!”

It's so sweet how Niall waited for me, though I can’t imagine how annoying my sister must have been with him, she has a tendency of being irritating. I hope she didn’t bring up the whole date with Liam thing. I know Niall’s very well aware of it, that’s how I met Liam of course, but I guess it could make him uncomfortable.

“Did you have something to ask me?” I say stepping out of the elevator just before the doors closed between Niall and I.

 “Yes! I wanted to ask you out, actually... um... on a date.” he stutters as he awkwardly stretches his arm behind his head and casually scratches the back of his neck.

“Of course! Where are you planning on going?”

“I wanted it to be a surprise.” he says, seeming relieved that I agreed to go out with him. 

“I like surprises.” I wink.

I'm not usually the flirty type of person but I try my best sometimes, especially around Niall and Liam.

I take a short moment to admire Niall.

The more I look at him, the more handsome he seems to get... 

His blond-dyed quiff standing perfectly above his sparkling blue eyes makes him stand a few inches taller. His beautiful, braced smile's looking flawless no matter what anyone says.

I've always said nobody's perfect, but Niall contradicts that saying in every way possible. 

He’s wearing his signature Supras and tank top; those biceps are driving me insane. He says he doesn’t work out but I don’t believe him in the slightest.

Needless to say, Niall lights up my world like nobody else...

“So then, I’ll pick you up tomorrow night?” he says breaking my daydream.

I’m not a very straight forward person but heck, I can’t wait until tomorrow for our date! I want to be with Niall tonight...

“You know what... take me out tonight." I grin. "I’m gonna take my shower and then we’ll get a drink or go for a walk or something.” I say.

“Tonight?”

“Tonight.”

"Awesome! I’ll meet you on the board walk at 10 then?”
