How could you forget?

Part five

I was at work on Thursday when Niall stopped by on my lunch break. "Hey, what are you doing here?!" I asked happy to see him.

"I brought you lunch," he answered.

"Thanks! Come on the break room is back here," I told Niall. We sat down at the table and started to eat.

"How's work going today?" he questioned.

"Pretty good," I said.

"How does Lauren like working at Coach?" Niall asked. Lauren found out she got the job 2 days ago and started yesterday.

"She loves it," I told him.

"Good," said Niall. As I finished up my lunch, I said,

"Thanks for coming, you didn't have to."

"You're welcome," he answered. We got up and I gave him a hug to thank him and he left. Niall was trying hard and he was really himself again

The next night, all 10 of us went to dinner together. Nothing was weird or awkward at all. Even though we both wanted to be be more than friends, it was working out fine like this too.

Niall brought me lunch every day the next week and it was now Friday afternoon. "So do you want to go to the movies tonight?" I asked him.

"Sure, what movie do you want to see?" he asked.

"How about Titanic in 3D?" I suggested.

"Okay sounds good. I'll pick you up at 6:30" he said.

"K," we got up and I went back to work. The movie choice was more of my final test then something I wanted to see.

Niall's POV

When I picked Emily for the movie, she looked so beautiful. She was in a strapless, short white dress and she had her hair curled perfectly. I wanted to tell her how beautiful she looked, but I knew I couldn't. "Thanks for picking me up," she said.

"You're welcome," I answered.

"Remember how we always used to sing every song that came on in the car and annoy our parents and brothers?" she wondered.

"Yeah that was so much fun," I replied.

"We shouldn't have stopped that," she said smiling. So we sang After Midnight the rest of the way to the theater. "Yeah, I haven't really grown up too much either," she laughed as we got out of the car. I got popcorn and then we went in to watch the movie. It was torture to sit through Titanic with Emily looking as beautiful as she did, and not put my arm around her. But, I didn't. I wasn't sure why she chose Titanic. It was one of her favorite movies, but she had seen it so many times. Along with every other girl in the theater, she got teary eyed at the end. I wanted so badly to wipe the tears away and kiss her, but, I couldn't. We walked out and got in the car after it ended.

My POV

"Thanks again," I thanked him as we pulled out of the parking lot.

"Any time," he told me.

After a few minutes, I said "Okay."

"Okay what?" he wondered.

"Okay, I'll be your girlfriend again. If you still want me to be," I said with a big smile. I had waited two weeks to say what I just did.

"Are you kidding me?! Of course I still want you to be my girlfriend!" Niall exclaimed.

"I love that movie, but tonight was mainly a test to see what you would do at chick flick with me. That's why I was dressed up," I explained.
