Coincidence (nh au)

NIALL'S POV:

Leah. What a beautiful name. When I was going for the football match the other day, I really wasn't expecting her to be there. I've never really talked to her before, I've just seen her with Sarah a couple of times. But I did notice her.

She has brunette hair and hazel colour eyes. Its simple, but beautiful. She might be a normal girl to loads, but her attitude is what changes it entirely. She is so full of life and energy. Its hard for someone to not notice her.

Then again when I went for a ride on the London Eye, she was there. I really really wasn't prepared to see her there, but lo behold, we took the ride together. I had only one word in mind to sum up all this: coincidence. There is literally no other explanation to this. We had exchanged numbers on the ride and I was really happy that we were friends.

Right now, we were headed towards the Uni gates to see them off. It was purely on Harry's insistence. Liam and I decided to just go with what this guy wants.

"Why don't you ask Sarah out, mate? You totally flirt with her all the time." Liam reasoned.

"Exactly! Grow some balls and ask her out!" I encouraged.

"I will, I will. I just want her to start liking me first." Harry sighed.

"Are you blind? She likes you. I can see that quite clearly." I said.

"She does?" Harry asked, his eyes all lit up.

"Of course she does! I've seen the way she behaves around you." I explained.

"Niall's right, mate. Go for it." He gave him a kind smile.

Harry nodded his head in response since we had reached the gates.

Once they saw us, they all had shocked expressions. Of course they weren't expecting us to see them off. I saw Sarah smiling slightly at the sight of Harry. Then my eyes landed on Leah who was struggling with a suitcase. She looked lovely, perfect for a road trip.

"Need some help?" I asked her cheekily as I saw her trying to put it in the trunk of the car.

She shook her head so I just stood there watching her attempting it for the next five minutes. I couldn't help but chuckle at how stubborn she was.

Then a few moments and a hundred failed attempts later, she sighed heavily and threw her arms up in defeat. Her face was flushed due to trying so much. I just looked at her with an amused expression. She looked adorable.

"Now watch how its done. Professional lessons by the one and only, Niall Horan." I cheekily grinned before lifting it up and placing the suitcase in the trunk.

"See?" I gave her a smug look.

"Oh don't be so full of yourself, Horan. You're not getting any thank you from me." She huffed, trying hard not to smile, causing me to laugh.

"Its alright. I'll say 'You're welcome' anyway." I laughed and I started to get back to the front, where everyone was.

"Niall, wait!" She called out. I smiled to myself, since I knew what was coming next.

"Yes?" I turned around, smiling wide.

"I'm coming as well." She said.

This girl is smart. I was expecting her to thank me and here she is, telling me to wait up for her. I gave her a look which caused her to burst out laughing.

"I knew it! You were expecting me to thank you! Oh my God this is epic!" She was laughing so hard, clutching her stomach, her eyes closed, bending over, her hand on my shoulder for support. And I couldn't help but laugh along with her.
