Only You, Niall Horan .

August, 23rd 2011. This is a date that will forever be in my mind. This was the day I fell in love with Niall, the day we had kissed in the rain ever so passionately. The day one thing; lead to another. My name is Natalia Graham, and this is the story of my summer romance with Niall Horan, a member of the UK pop band, One Direction.

“Natalia, come on. We’re gonna be late” a British accent called from downstairs. I grabbed my suitcase and ran out the door. “Why are we in such a rush to get to this beach house?” I asked, handing him the suitcase and locking my door behind me. Louis smirked and dumped my luggage in the back of his car. 

“Because, the boys are already there and Liam has brought his girlfriend, Danielle. So you can have some female company while we are away for the summer” he replied, opening the passenger door for me, I smiled and got in, doing up my seat belt. 

“So you brought one girl, for me to have as company?” I asked, raising one eyebrow. 

“Stop stressing Nat, you’re going to love this girl. She is absolutely amazing” he put the key into the ignition and we were on our way to the beach house. This was the first time the boys and I had gone down there, usually we would hang around my house whilst my parents were away, but we decided for a change. 

“How far away is the beach house anyway Mr Tomlinson?” I asked, looking out the window as the houses began fading away as we got further and further away from the town. 

“Well, considering the beach is about forty kilometres away from our home town, I would have to say forty kilometres, gosh Nat you’re such a dork!” he exclaimed, I punched him in the arm. “Hey!” I yelled. “Just because I have a slower mind than you, doesn’t mean that you bag me for it!” he laughed and turned up the radio, they were playing their new single ‘Live While We’re Young’ I was a little bit obsessed with it and listened to it every day. 

“Let’s go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun. I know we’ve only met but let’s pretend its love” Louis sang, I giggled. I closed my eyes as I listened to Louis singing in the background of the music, I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was being prodded in the face by someone’s finger. 

“Is she dead?” I heard them say, I opened my eyes to see Niall standing in front of me. 

“Nialler!” I yelled; undoing my seatbelt and hugging him tightly, he hugged me back. 

“How you doing Nat?” he asked, loosening his grip. 

“I’m good, how are you?” I let go of him and smiled. “I’m good. Took you guys long enough to get here. Hey, come with me. Liam is sitting with Danielle in the living room, I’ll show you” her replied, grabbing my hand and pulling me into the beach house. 

“Danielle, this is Natalia, but everyone calls her Nat; Nat, this is Danielle, we haven’t thought of a nickname for her yet but, she is soon to have one” he winked. “Sit down and talk or something, whatever girls sit and do.” I awkwardly sat down next to Danielle, whilst Niall and Liam ran off to build a fire on the beach. 

“So, did you come here by force or did you choose?” I joked, smiling. She giggled a little. 

“No, I chose to come; Liam asked me if I wanted to spend the summer with him so I accepted. How come you’re here Natalia?”

“It’s Nat, and every year the boys and hang out for the summer, doing random stuff. This year we decided to spend out summer at this amazing beach house.” 

“Fun” she replied, unenthusiastically. 

“Okay, just asking. Judging from your body language, you don’t like me, do you?”

“Well, to be honest, no, not really” she smirked. 

“Alright, bitch, let me make this very clear, do NOT ruin my summer with the boys. If you do, I swear I will find a way to make Liam tell you to go home, got that?” 

“Fine, as long as you stay out of my way, I will stay out of yours.” She got up, pulling her short skirt down a little before her heels clicked away against the flooring and walked out.  I sighed, and fell onto the couch, at this point Niall came running in. 

“Where’s Danielle?” he asked, moving me out of the way and sitting beside me. 

“She is out there, with Liam. Can I tell you something because you love me?” I said, Niall’s cheeks flushed a cute shade of pink. “Sure Nat, what is it?” 

“Danielle doesn’t like me…. And I called her a bitch” Niall laughed. 

“What?” 

“I never really liked her either” he replied, grabbing my hand. “Come on, campfire’s ready babe” I smiled, he called me babe. Well, this I didn’t mind considering I had; had a huge crush on Niall since we were little. Only, nothing has changed about the way I feel about him.
