"W-what?" I stuttered, "I can't. Trust me. I can't play."
"Sure you can! Look, come here."
"No." I objected, "Niall I can't. I'm like, the worst guitar player."
"Have you ever tried to play the guitar?" He laughed.
"Uh, no." I admitted.
"Exactly my point. Now come here."
"Nope. No, no. No. You can't make me and I won't." I declared.
"Yes, you will Natalie." He smirked.
"Ooh, Nialler you can't make me." I repeated.
He looked up at me suddenly, an evil glint in his eye. "Yes I can."
My eyes widened and I stepped backwards slowly as he came towards me.
"N-Niall... What are you doing?" I quavered.
He just smirked at me and laughed as I walked backward into the wall.
"You're trapped now." He pointed out.
"Well never." I said sarcastically.
He came further towards me and placed his hands either side of my head, making me shiver.
He smirked wider, trying to suppress a grin and moved his head closer to mine as my breathing hitched.
"W-what... Niall..." I stuttered.
There were so many butterflies in my tummy I was afraid that they would come bursting out of my stomach.
He moved his head closer and put his lips by my ear, making my ear tingle with excitement.
What's happening to me?! Why... Why am I feeling these things? I shouldn't be feeling these things... It's not normal!
So, why...?
I couldn't... Nonono. No. No. Nono. No. I can't.
You promised Liam Natalie! You can't have these feelings for his best friend!
No, this wasn't possible.
No.
Natalie, no.
My thoughts were interrupted when I fell down laughing as Niall's hands came and tickled my sides.
"N-Niall. No! Aha- Niall. S-stop!
"Nope, not until you say Niall is a sexy dinosaur and he is my favourite member of One Direction and you promise to let me teach you how to play the guitar."
"Eh, no." I breathed in between laughs.
He suddenly stopped and started pouting.
"Why?"
"Because, I can't play..."
"Everyone can play. It's just you refuse too."
I just shrugged, grinning.
"Come on, let's go back. I bet the lads are back and everything, but Natalie, one day I will teach you how to play the guitar."
"Hah, sure you will Nialler. Come on, let's go. I bet Liam's throwing a fit."
"Nah, he knows you're with me."
"Yeah but Nialler, you're not exactly trust worthy."
"What makes you say that?"
"I don't know... When Liam and I were walking to his house when I first came here he told me you once ate all the food when they left you by yourself."
He pouted playfully, "I was hungry and there was nothing else to do. Sitting home and watching Friends all day is not fun. Trust me."
"Why Friends?" I asked.
"Well, I'm not exactly going to watch Spongebob am I?" He joked.
"Uh, Niall? Judging by the look on your face you did watch Spongebob all day."
"Shush, don't tell anyone." He laughed.
I laughed along with him as he opened the door to his house and gestured for me to exit so he could shut the door.
I stepped out into the cold and immediately groaned, looking up at the sky.
"Is there seriously going to be another storm?"
"Aww, no." Niall said, sounding annoyed.
"What's so bad about it?"
"I don't like them." He reminded me as we walked down the street towards Liam's house.
"Ooh, yeah. You're not sleeping in my room again."
He chuckled slightly, "Yeah, sorry about that. The lads wouldn't let me sleep in their rooms..."
"Yah, I know. You told me."
"Did I?"
"Yes, yes you did."
"Okay then." He said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.
I laughed at him and gasped when I saw crashed into something walking down then path.
"Hi!" A little voice cried from below me.
"O- oh. Well, hi there!" I grinned, waving at the little boy who was stood before me.
"I'm Jenson!" He cried, grinning cutely.
"Aww, well then. Hi Jenson! I'm Natalie!" I grinned at him.
The little boy was short, his body reaching up to the middle of my thigh. He had adorable shiny blonde hair whilst his eyes were an intense grey. His grin looked like it could cheer anybody up and he was wearing the cutest little pair of dungarees.
"I'm Niall." Niall grinned, waving at the boy giddily.
"Hi Niall!" Jenson cried, "Natalie, where is my Mummy?"
"Oh." I gasped, looking around for any sight of a woman or a man that might be in any relation to Jenson. There was nobody around except a drunken man on the other end of the street which I'm pretty sure was not Jenson's father. There was no woman around either. Where were his parents?
"Jenson, what does your Mummy look like?" I questioned, slightly worried, but grinning down at the worry-free boy in front of me anyway.
"Um, we-."
"Jenson!" We heard a shriek from the other end of the street.
I turned around quickly to reveal a girl around my age running towards us quickly, panting heavily with a bag slung around her shoulder carelessly.
"Oh, hi!" I grinned at her, "Are you Jenson's.... mother?"
"Oh, god no. I'm his sister. My mum is at work and I was supposed to be taking him to the park but he ran off when I was getting him an ice cream and I was so worried and oh my go- Jenson! What do you think you were doing?" The girl rambled.
Oh good, I thought she looked a bit too young to be a mother.
The girl looked a lot like Jenson; you could tell they were both related. She had long, blonde wavy hair that trailed down to her hips and her eyes were the same shade as Jenson's; grey and intense.
"Oh, okay then. Jenson was just talking to me and Niall." I grinned at her.
"Oh, hey Niall and...?"
"Natalie." I informed her.
"Rocking the N's, huh?"
"Haha, I guess so, what's your name?"
"Oh, sorry! I talk too much apparently. I'm Lauren." The girl grinned.
"Ah, no. It's okay. Niall sometimes get's like that. I'm used to it."
"Are you two...?" She trailed off.
"Oh, no. Aha, we're just friends."
"Oh, too bad. You two would make a good couple." She winked at me.
I blushed and turned my head away quickly, laughing awkwardly.
"Thanks!" Niall grinned at her, seeming un-fazed by Lauren's comments.
"Niall!" I scolded him.
"What?" He pouted at me.
I just rolled my eyes and focused them back onto Lauren who was staring at us both in confusion.
"You both sure act like it. Anyway, I've got to go; my Mum will be home soon."
"Okay then love, bye!" I grinned at her whilst trying to hide my blush that had yet again erupted.
"Bye!" She cried, before running off in the opposite Direction.
"Come on, let's go." He laughed awkwardly.
I just grinned at him as he opened the door to Liam's house, revealing it to be just slightly too quiet.
"I don't think they're home yet."
"No." Niall said sarcastically.
"Let's watch a movie!" I cried.
"What movie?" Niall groaned, before sitting down on the couch with a huff.
"Hmm... Marley and Me!" I decided, grabbing the DVD case and popping the DVD in to the player.
He chuckled whilst I sat down, pressing play on the remote.
"Oh, I love this bit!" I informed him as Marley ran off with the table.
He just laughed his adorab-.
No.
He just laughed and continued to stare at me as I went back to watch the film.
"Niall...?" I asked him.
"Yep?"
"Why are you staring at me?" I laughed.
He blushed and turned away, looking at the screen slowly as we watched the rest of the film.
