(NIALL'S POV)

This is it. I travelled all this way to surprise my bestfriend for her birthday. I was twisting my fingers in my pockets, just waiting nervously. What if when she saw me she was not happy to see me and she was angry at me? Or the second option is she will be so excited and happy to see me she will forget that i have barely made effort to come and visit her since One Direction for famous. It wasn't my fault, i wanted to see her, we were just busy. I sighed inwardly, it was my fault. Being 'busy' isn't any excuse.

I just hope she goes for the second option, because then i will get to see her smile instead of a frown. Her smile was beautiful, and i really missed making her smile and laugh that silly but addictive laugh of hers.

As soon as the interview was over i went back to our shared apartments and packed in a rush then got on the next flight to Mullingar. I called Tash's parents after i got off the big jet plane to tell them i was coming, but to also inform them that i was surprising Natasha and to not tell her. It turned out my parents actually went away so i would be staying at Tash's for the next 5 days. Of course, i was okay with this.. actually i was very happy about this arrangement. It meant that i could spend the most possible amount of time with Tash, plus having sleepovers with eachother wasn't strange. We had been doing them since we were little.

I started rocking back and forth on the balls of my feet. I was impatiently waiting outside Tash's bedroom door while her parents and her little brother were in there waking her up. Damn it Niall, why are you so nervous? Natasha is your bestfriend, she is gonna be just as happy to see you that you are to see her.

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts to catch on to the end of Natasha's mum Louise's sentence.

"We have someone here to wish you a happy birthday" was all i got. She then looked up at me and motioned me to enter the room.

I immediately walked in and scanned  the room. It had barely changed since the last time i saw it. It was still baby blue in colour, with a lavender coloured bed spread. I noticed that all the old photos of us hanging out together were still hanging from hooks on her walls. My heart warmed at the sight of all our fun memories together. A small groan from the bed made me stop looking at the walls and onto the bed. I chuckled to myself at the sight of her. My bestfriend, on her 18th birthday begging to stay in bed with her pillow ontop of the head. Oh she still wasn't a morning person then.

"If it's Emily tell her i said i would meet her at the mall." She slurred in a low whisper. Okay this was it, this was the moment.

"What's this about Emily? I though we always did something on your birthday Tash." I stated in a humerous voice.

That's when it happened, her beautiful green eyes popped open and she shot straight up from her comfy little coccoon. Her hair was in a messy bun and she was wearing an baseball top. But she still looked as beautiful as i remembered. I was looking at her anxiously, waiting for her to say something.

"NIALL"?! She screamed

"The one and only, happy 18th birthday Tash" I smiled at her.

At first her face was one of pure shock, then a small smile crept onto her face. Which then turned into a massive grin. All of a sudden she leapt out of bed and i was embraced with her small, warm body.

"I missed you so much Ni!" She whispered into my shoulder. Her soft hands around my neck left tingles and i felt like i didn't ever want to let her go.

"Same here Tash, more than you will ever know." I whispered back into her beautiful soft brown hair.

(NATASHA'S POV)

Here he was. His beautiful toothy grin and his perfectly styled blonde/brown hair. My Niall, surprising me. I leapt up and tackled him into a tight hug. At first he tensed up until he relaxed and wrapped his arms around my small waist. His touch sent tingles up my body, this always happened when Niall hugged me. I placed my hair in his shoulder and whispered into him.

"I missed you so much Ni". It was true, i did. Words couldn't describe the feelings in this moment.

"Same here Tash, more than you will ever know." He replied with his adorable Irish accent. I absolutely loved his accent. Me being born in Australia meant i didn't have the lovable Irish accent. But Niall had always loved the way i talked.

I pulled back reluctantly. I loved his hugs, his body was warm. Why would i want to leave his arms?!

"How long are you here, aren't you gonna get introuble?" I blabbed out.

"5 days & nope, I asked for time off just to see my little Tash." He teashed and pinched my cheeks.

"Hey, im 18 now. And but wait. Where are you gonna stay?" I asked confused. His parents were away.

I turned around at the voice of someone else in my room.

"Well, we are allowing Niall to stay here, he is your bestfriend ya know. And actually we didn't tell you this but it's our anniversary tomorrow so we are going away for a week. Niall's and you are gonna keep the house safe, and Timmy (my little brother) is staying at nans back in Sydney." My mum cheerfully stated. Oh my god. Was this happening, 5 days alone with my bestfriend! Oh the fun we are gonna have.

"But NO funny business." My dad warned. Niall and i both laughed then my parents started laughing too. Dad knew he was my bestfriend and nothing else. And with that, they left the room. Something about packing they said.

"We leave tonight!" My mum yelled out in the hallway.

I turned back to Niall with a smirk on my face. He took my hands and entwined them with his. I instantly got butterflies in my stomach. Wait? I've gotten tingles before but NEVER butterflies. What was happening? I snapped out of my thoughts and stared into Niall's ocean blue eyes.

"So what are we gonna do for the next 5 days." I asked.

What he did next was unexpected but made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. He rested his fourhead on mine and whispered whilst staring into my eyes, "I am here to make this your best birthday ever. So we can do whatever you want to do."

"Promise?" I asked taking a step closer to him.

"I promise". Was his reply. I could feel his warm breath so close to me.

"Well the first thing i want to do is"...I put my lips so close to his teasing him abit. I could tell her was confused but he wasn't stopping me.

"Is... TIP!" I smacked his arm hard and ran away giggling.

"Hey! Oh so you wanna play hide and seek tips huh? Okay im coming Tash!" Was his reply before i heard footsteps coming.

This indeed was going to be my best birthday ever ! Well, i hoped.
