This was beautiful. The waves crashed in the background as we ate our dinner. I looked over at Niall who was looking at me. I smiled and glanced up at the stars.
"It's beautiful out tonight." I say, taking a quick bite of my popcorn shrimp.
"I know. Remember when we'd try and count the stars?" Niall laughed and I nodded my head, laughing too.
"And then we'd try to make shapes out of them." I added.
"That one looks like a dolphin." Niall points up into the sky. I look up to where is is gesturing towards and spot it.
"Hey it does!" I look around and try to find another. "That one looks like a palm tree."
Niall looks over at me and then at the stars and shakes his head. He leans down and takes a sip of his drink and then sits up. "Its an umbrella."
"Is not!" I laugh and he does too.
"Yes it is! And that one looks like..I don't know." He looks straight up and I try and see where he is looking.
"Where?" I ask. He nods his head as if to ask me to come over and I do as he says. He pats his lap and I take a seat and lean back into his shoulder. I immediately feel butterflies and I can't help but smile.
"Where?" I repeat softly.
"Right there." He says, pointing up at a little group of stars.
"It's.." I look harder and then realize what it is. "It's a heart."
I look back and he blushes. I smile and then lean my head into his neck. I feel an arm wrap across my shoulders and I yawn. It was the perfect moment, right then and there. Maybe Niall was the one for me, I just wasn't sure when to tell him.
"We should probably head back." Niall says, sitting up a little. I quickly get up and grab my purse. We pay and then walk back to the car. He opens the door for me and I hop in. I lean my head on the side of the door and fall asleep as we drive home.
Niall wakes me up as soon as we arrive.
"Hey, c'mon we're here." I take a deep breath and put my hand on the handle, but hesitate. I look over Niall.
"Thank you. For tonight." He nods and leans over to kiss my cheek, but I turn my head at the last minute so he kisses my lips. We both smile into the kiss and I feel my cheeks getting red.
He pulls away, laughs and shakes his head. "I'll see you later."
I smile and get out.
I walk up to the front door and turn around to wave as Niall is pulling out of the driveway. He looks back for a minute and I wave. He honks his car and I laugh, opening the door.
--The next day--
My alarm goes off and I lean over to hit snooze. Sitting back, I stare up at the ceiling and think about last night. I lean over and grab my phone.

I sigh and take a deep breath.
TO: BRODY

Why had I agreed? I have no idea. My sheets flip to the side as I get up and go downstairs to eat breakfast. My phone buzzes and I open the message.
FROM: NIALL

TO: NIALL

Opening the fridge, i took out some orange juice and poured some in a glass. I slipped two pieces of toast in the toaster and sat up on the counter.
FROM: NIALL
I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO COME WITH YA:)
TO: NIALL
YOU SURE?
The toast pops up which makes me jump and causes me to knock over my juice.
"Seriously?" I whisper to myself and put the toast on a plate. I rinse a napkin under some water and clean up the mess.
Picking up a knife, i spread some nutella on my toast and glance at the clock.
12:00
I quickly finish my breakfast and run upstairs to change. I decide on some leggings and a sweatshirt with uggs. I throw my hair into a messy bun and spray myself with some perfume. My phone buzzed again.
FROM: NIALL
YEA! IM SURE EVERYONE HAS MISSED ME;)
I roll my eyes and grab my car keys.
I arrive at Panera in five minutes and take a seat in a booth.
1:07
My fingers tap on the table and I mess around with my phone. Someone then slides in to the seat across from me.
"Hey." Brody says.
"Hi." Wow. This was going to be awkward...
"Well I'm going to go order..what do you want?"
"A pumpkin muffin please." I hand him a five dollar bill but he ignores it.
"Its on me." I smile and watch him walk away. I pull out my phone and check my messages.
FROM: NIALL
SO WHAT ARE YA DOIN?
TO: NIALL

FROM: NIALL
AT NANDOS WITH THE LADS
TO: NIALL

FROM: NIALL
DON'T JUDGE!!!
I laugh and look up to see Brody passing me my muffin.
"Thanks." I say. He nods in return.
"So, I've been wanting to talk to you." He stares at his plate and then looks up at me.
"About what?" I ask, although I already know. My fingers mess with the wrapper around my muffin as I tug it off.
"I'm not asking to get back together," he pauses, taking a quick sip of his drink. "I just want to at least be friends for now."
I nod and force a smile. "I can manage that."
"Okay." He smiles and takes a bite of his sandwich.
After Panera I drive back home and slip in a movie. I pop some popcorn in the microwave and poor some ice tea in a glass.
I lay back on the couch and text Niall.
TO: NIALL
MOVIE @ MY HOUSE?
I almost instently get a reply.
FROM: NIALL
OMW
About ten minute later I hear the door open and Niall walks in the living room.
"You just don't like knocking do you?" I laugh and he shakes his head. He sits down next to me and grabs some popcorn.
"So what are we watchin?" He asks.
"How about Transformers?" He nodded. He loved that movie. I got up and slid the disk in.
"Do you want a blanket?" Niall asks. I nod and he walks over to the closet. I find it amazing that he remembers where everything is.
He chooses a green fuzzy blanket and we take a seat on the couch.
I was so comfy, and it only took two minutes for me to fall asleep.
