Irish Eyes

Anyone Watching?

Chapter 3:

'Wow she really is beautiful. Sparkling hazel eyes and a gorgeous smile. Sassy, funny, and independent, all in one tiny figure,' thought Niall. He saw the girl for all she was. Elodie was perfect in every way to the boy and the fact she just punched Harry in the face? Hot. He gazed at her dreamily while she sat across from him in the limo. Liam held her in an intense discussion about classic Disney movies, and when he finally asked if she loved Toy Story, she giggled and said yes. Her laugh made Niall's eyes light up in happiness, and he searched her face intently. He found hidden discomfort. Looking to her right, Niall could see why she would feel that way. The boys had seated themselves, and Harry, despite his now bruising eye, had seated himself beside the poor girl.

'Elodie!' Niall gained her attention and, attempting to ease her distress, pointed beside him. She declined, saying there was not room for her, so he shoved Zayn out of the way to make a seat. Ellie smiled, shook her head silently, and took Zayn's previously occupied seat; Once she made sure he did not mind, anyway. Niall's stomach fluttered and he shivered slightly from the close contact with her sweet smelling skin. Soon, she began to nod off, and her head fell to his shoulder. Niall moved a little closer to the wall and gave her room to lay down and rest her head in his lap. 'She's so beautiful,' he thought for the hundredth time that day.

'Thank you Irish Eyes,' she mumbled before drifting halfway between dreaming and awake. He adored the given nickname.

'So Niall, looks like you've got a thing for Elehhh?' Louis grinned evilly at the blonde boy.

'Uhhh......' He grinned, sheepishly. 'That obvious?'

'Mate the only reason she can't see it is because she's the girl!' said Liam, smiling at the boy's crush.

Niall shifted as much as he could without waking the girl and lowered his voice, 'Should I ask?'

'Yeah, walk her to the door,' Zayn mumbled, still slightly perturbed at being thrown off the seat.

When the boys turned onto her street, Niall gently shook Ellie to wake her. When she merely swatted him away, Louis took her and gave her a flip, so she fell to the floor of the limo. 'I'M UP! I'M UP! Aw we're here.. Mind parking a bit down the street?'

As they parked, Ellie moved to say goodbye and give each member of the band a kiss on the cheek, already accepted as Niall's girl although she was not aware of it. When reaching Harry, she simply "humphed" and continued on. He deserved neither a goodbye nor a kiss.

The last one to receive their goodbye was Niall. She moved back next to him and fidgeted a little. Elodie had always secretly been a Niall girl and was not sure if she could handle this small move. He wore cologne of a slightly spicy smell, but underneath it, she could detect something more natural. His eyes looked so shimmery and perfect. Blue and deep. 'How have I lasted through this entire day?' she thought, a little panicky. Feeling awkward and blushing slightly, she continued to play with her knuckles.

Unknown to her, Niall's heart was beating like a drum inside his chest. She was too close. He watched silently as she played with her fingers, and Niall waited for her to look at him. He attempted to offer to walk her to the door, but the air in his chest had left him. 'Why doesn't she just kiss me? Or say something at least? Why is she blushing? Is she nervous? She wasn't with anyone else! Jesus, what has this girl done to me in the matter of two days?' The thoughts swam in a whirlpool through his mind.

She leaned in slightly to peck his cheek, but he pulled her closer and, in a fit of courage, whispered, 'I won't bite.... Yet....' He winked and her eyes widened.

'No way. NiallHoran. Said that. Is this real life?'  She started to lean in again, not far considering he had grabbed her by the waist already. And he kissed her. He could not wait any longer, so he kissed her. Definitely not at all like her kiss with Harry. This one was sweet and cute. Niall's lips felt soft and gentle against hers, and he held her face delicately in his hand. Elodie did not understand why he had wanted her to kiss him, but she only drew away when Louis decided to wolf whistle.

'Way to go Louis.' Liam laughed when the two broke apart. He had a sneaky grin on his face like he knew something. But of course, he did.

Ellie glanced at Harry. The boy's green eyes had grown huge, and his mouth had fallen agape. He had been aware of the conversation while El was asleep, but had not taken it seriously. He never would have thought Niall would have the nerve to actually kiss her. So when he watched them draw apart he was flabbergasted.

'That was amazing.' Niall murmured quietly, so the boys would not hear. They both gave a small, cute smile and giggled.

'Well, I'll be off now! Bye guys! I had such an amazing time with most of you,' she waved at them and hopped out of the limo. Needing no encouragement from the others, Niall quickly got up and out behind Elodie. Coincidentally, he grabbed her arm right in front of Harry's window, where he could only watch the scene unfolding before him.

'Hey El?'

She turned when he caught her wrist. 'Uh, yes Niall?' Ellie furrowed her eyebrows at him in confusion.

'I uhmmmmmm... Want to ask you something.' Her heart beat quicker. 'Do you want to go out sometime? Alone... Without the boys?'

She took a step closer and whispered, 'Anyone watching who shouldn't be?' He glanced around and shook his head. She kissed him. Not like before, nowhere near. This had feeling. She was not afraid to show she really liked Niall while as before she had been guarded with him. Her arms found his neck and wrapped around it. Although there was a major height difference, her arms fit perfectly. Their bodies melted into each other, and Niall grabbed her waist enjoying every second of this bliss.

Harry could only sit and watch, front row seats to the show. There was nothing he could do, trapped behind a sheet of tinted glass. His eyes had glossed over and were shimmering now. Head bent low, he wiped away a few tears that had begun to fall. The thing was, Haz liked Elodie just as much as Niall, but he showed it differently. Every beautiful feature Niall had seen in the girl, Harry had seen, too. He loved her bright wondrous eyes, her charming laugh, and her fiery spirit. Perhaps this last one is what caused the feeling to intensify whenever he saw her. While thinking of her strength, Harry suddenly became determined, and the great sadness ebbed away to a dull pain. She would want him and only him.

As Niall climbed into the limo, the rest of the boys high-fived him, and Harry smirked, confident he would succeed in his goal.

The driver pulled away from the curb, and Ellie stood on the doorstep waving goodbye to her new boyfriend and his crazy four best friends with a ridiculous smile on her face. to her new boyfriend, and his four crazy best friends.
