The snowflakes drifted in the wind past my window, and all i could think about is how perfect this moment is. How perfect it is that hes finally here. Finally, holding me in his arms and accepting the bit of feelings he does have.

I roll back over to look at him sleep. The way his lips are just slightly parted but, theyre open at the same time. His hair is rough and messy on top of the white goose feathered pillow. His eyes are closed and i cant see the bright blue orbs i love so much, but i know when he wakes up theyre going to look at me the same way they did yesterday and the day before. Though one thing has changed and that’s that they will look at me differently, different from the 30th of october that is.

He was always such a prick, and everyone knew it. Except i saw through that, through the jock side of him and i knew he just wanted to be loved.

There was a halloween party and i had seen him talking to some guys, probably talking about football or some of the slutty costumes girls were wearing. I was glad i chose to be a cat, so i could wear a black dress and do my cute whiskers along with the pink heart shaped nose that matches my bright sea foam green eyes. I adjusted my cat ears and took a deep breathe as i saw him look around doubtfully. At all the tramps surrounding him and his buddies. He said something to his friends and walked away to go upstairs alone.

It sounds a bit stalkerish but, i followed him. I walked in to find him standing on the balcony leaning over, looking into the street. I wasnt sure whether to join him or turn back but, i knew i had to talk to him. It mine as well be now.

I walked onto the terrace and he looked over at me. Parting his lips to make a snide remark but, not allowing himself too. He just gave me one last look and turned forward. I walked up to the ridge of the medal gate, placing my arms over the top.

“What are you doing out here?” I say shivering.

“Had to get away from the noise.” He says quietly.

“But your Niall, party animal, jock, selfish, relentless Niall.” i say mocking him and his friends.

“Yeah, im not selfish, i hate when people say that.” he huffs.

“Well, you act like it. Your kind of a prick ya know?” i said timidly.

He chuckles slightly. “Its just an act.”

“I know.” i say like the smart ass i am.

“Sure, say you did know, how?” He looks at me in my eyes.

“I can see through all that, I can tell who people really are!” i shrug.

“You have really pretty eyes, you know that?” He says nudging my shoulder.

“Now i do, but, im gonna go inside because im freezing.” I say turning away to the sliding plates of glass.

“Here, take my jacket, stay a while.” He says sitting in one of the chairs.

“Sure, thanks.” i grab his varsity jacket, placing it over my shoulders and sitting across from him.

We spent the night talking about school and our families, i couldve sworn in just those 2 hours of knowing him i had caught feelings. I couldnt fight the fact he was gorgeous and for once when he looked at me i wasnt so shy to look away or start rambling. I accepted he looked at me. Though he wasnt looking at me with love nor hate. More of interest and awe as i had shocked him. The night ended and so many things he said wouldnt leave my mind.

“I dont think ive ever met a girl like you.” “Your actually really pretty.” “any guy would be lucky to have you.” “We should hang out sometime.” “This is one of the best nights ive ever had.”

Just a few short sentences wouldnt stop circling my mind. He was so different until he told me i couldnt tell anyone. Not because it was me, but because he didnt want people knowing the real him. Though i still knew when it came to love, he couldnt let those walls down. It would simply hurt him. Make him vulnerable and get his heart broken.

It had been 2 months and a year of us sharing smirky glances in the hallway, to making out in his bedroom after school. Sometimes i would go with friends to watch his practice where he would lose track and stare at me in the stands with that same look of interest. Losing his coach’s attention and getting caught in my eyes. When he was yelled at he would blush and i just smiled. Smiled at how after these 2 months i was still the only girl, the only person who knew who he really was and up until last night he hadnt slept with anyone. Anyone besides me.

He invited me over last night to hang out, and ended up taking me to the beach where we watched the roaring waves hit the shore. It was cold and the skys were gray but it was still beautiful as ever and it was amazing how he remembered from our first conversation on that terrace how i told him i loved the beach. He took me out to dinner, at the pizzeria across from school.

“Wow niall, are you sure you want to get caught hanging out with a loser like me?” i joked.

“Im more than sure id be okay with that.” He said kissing my cheek.

Sure, kissing someones cheek wasnt the sweetest thing but it was adorable. He wasnt trying to seduce me or get in my pants. He just gave me a simple kiss on the cheek. Though it made me blush.

We shared the pepperoni pizza in front of us; and i told him when i was 8 i used to take all the toppings off and eat marinara on the bread. I thought it was more italian. Though it wasnt. He laughed and told me about his parents. How theyre split up and not together.

“So, do you have any siblings then?” i said.

“Yeah, a little sister. I never see her though. She lives with my aunt. She cant handle the fighting and its wierd for her seeing both of them with different people.”

“Can i meet her?”

“I dont-“

“Please Niall?”

He took a big breathe and looked at me as he sighed.

“You really want too?”

“Yeah, i do.”

“Okay, her names Bella, just so you know.”

“Thats pretty, cant wait to meet her.”

“Yeah, i named her.” He smiled half heartly.

We finished our pizza and he drove us a couple miles before he parks in front of a giant luxorious house.

“Jesus Niall, does all your family have money?”

“Something like that.” He says and we walk up to the front door.

His aunt is young, maybe 32, and her eyes lit up when she saw i was with him.

“Wow Niall, never seen you with a girl before, shes beautiful.”

“Ugh thanks Aunt Han, im gonna go get bella.” He kisses my cheek and walks off.

Leaving me blushing. “You guys are cute together.”

“Oh, we’re not together.” i say uncomfortably.

“Well, he likes you, a lot. Hes never brought a girl to meet me, or his sister for that matter.” She says winking.

“I asked to see her when he said he had a sister, i kind of wanted to meet some other people who knew Niall like i do.”

“Is he doing the whole jock, prick thing again?” she says in her matching irish tone.

“Something like that.”

“Well, no girl i think knows him like that so, dont take advantage!” She points at me.

“I promise!” i chuckle.

Niall brings me a little girl with brown hair down to her shoulder, and bright blue eyes.

“Hi, are you bella?”

“I prefer Isabella now.” She smiles and puts her hand on her hip sassily.

“Okay isabella, how old are you.” I giggled.

“Im 7, i know im cute!” She flips her hair over her shoulder and bats her eyelashes smiling with no front teeth.

Niall went with his aunt and left me to play barbies with his little sister. Niall told me he wanted to go and gave his sister a hug. She wasnt very good at whispering because i heard her say “I like her Nialler!” i smiled as i heard him whisper “Me too.” in her ear. I gave her another hug and said goodbye to his aunt.

As we got in the car he asked me if i heard anything they said. “Nope.” He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb over it. We stayed mostly silent listening to the hum of the radio in the background.

The rain had started to pour and i watched out of my window as he pulled into his driveway. I got out of the car as did he and stopped in his yard.

“Niall, come here.”

He walks over to me squinting his eyes from the rain, blurring his vision.

“Do you like me?” i said.

“Yes, yeah i do, a lot actually.” he says pulling me closer by pushing me into him.

“Why wouldnt you just tell me?” he towers over me and shrugs.

“Because i didnt want to let you all the way in, to get my heart broken.”

I smile stupidly. “Niall im in love with you, breaking your heart is out of the question.”

He thumb grazes my jaw and he kisses me as rain drops hit us, soaking our dry clothing.

" be my girlfriend . " he breathily whispered . I wasn't sure if it was a question or a statement . But I just nodded and smiled to then be greeted with more kisses
