Niall Horan Imagines

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

Today I met a lovely girl named (Y/N). She was the sweetest little thing I've ever met in my life. I feel like I'm 16 again when I say this - but she kind of made me all nervous and giddy. And my heart was beating like twenty times faster than it normally does. I know my cheeks were red and I stuttered like a right idiot but I couldn't help myself. I met her at the store. I was there with Deo, we were lookin' for some heavy duty tape to fix the picture frame we accidentally shattered when we were kicking a football around the house. Haha... oops. Anyway, she was trying to find the right nail polish to match a dress she had, and she couldn't decide between two pinkish colors. I caught her from the corner of my eye at first. Deo didn't see her until I nudged his arm and nodded in her direction. She was squatted before the display of nail polishes, nibbling on her lip in concentration.

"What?" My cousin asked me, his eyebrows furrowed as I just widened my eyes and nodded at her again. His eyes followed my gaze, turning back to me with a smirk. "You know her?"

"No," I said, shaking my head, "But I want to." Now I was smirking, wiggling my eyebrows. He laughed and slapped my arm, encouraging me to go talk to her. I inhaled a sharp breath and agreed, puffing my chest out (this reminds me of that sick Nick Jonas song, 'And I'm puffin' my chest, I'm getting ready to face you..' Okay, sorry. Focus, Niall. Focus.) So, I strutted over to her and actually almost made a fool of myself (what else is new haha) when I almost tripped over a display of teddy bears. I could hear Deo laughin' at me. All I did was glare at him before continuing on, approaching her from behind, so she couldn't see me yet.

I tried to be as smooth as possible. Clearing my throat, I said, "Excuse me, miss."

Her head snapped in my direction, obviously startled by my sudden appearance. I grinned cheekily at her. A shy smile tugged at her lips and she carefully brought herself to her feet. "Yeah?" She quietly said, her eyes falling to trail over my body before meeting my eyes again. I felt a little self-conscious, but that always happens.

"I was just going to say that it should be a crime for a pretty woman like you to be here all alone," I said, my voice cracking like a damn fool right in the middle of my smooth-ass pick-up line. Deo snorted, laughing obnoxiously behind me. I just blew the entire thing, and my face immediately flushed a deep red color. I matched the 'Sassy Scarlet' colored nail polish that was displayed next to where I stood. I cringed, internally slapping myself for even trying. I'm never very smooth with this stuff, despite what I like to think.

But she didn't laugh pathetically at me, or give me one of those weird looks that says, 'Leave me alone, you creep.' No, she actually giggled quietly at me, blushing, herself. I was confused, because she had no reason to be blushing. I was the idiot in this situation and I felt like I should be the only one blushing. But her cheeks were red just like mine. I nervously chuckled, dropping my eyes to my feet. "Star for effort," She finally said, her voice sounding like a vat of pure milk chocolate that I just wanted to dive into and- god, Niall, shut the fuck up! You sound like a freak. 

Okay so then I smiled at her and said, "Thanks." She giggled again, and I kind of wanted to kiss her right then. Actually, scratch that. I really, really wanted to kiss her. But, ya know, she probably wasn't ready for that yet. I mean, she didn't even know my name haha.

That's when she asked me to help her with the nail polish. "Would you like to help me?" She shyly asked, turning to face the display of nail colors. "I can't decide which one to go with," She explained, pulling two different shades of pink from the shelf.

I stepped closer to her, saying, "What's the occasion, might I ask?" That's rule number 1. Always ask some sort of question that will help you determine if she's single or not. Flirting 101 with Niall Horan, everybody! Actually, just kidding. Don't take my advice haha I don't know shit.
