"I think you've got yourself an admirer." Jade teases, winking at Niall.
When Perrie was still standing at the doorframe of the bathroom, Niall did get up. But he didn't get up to approach her, no. He got up to exit the club and get some air.
Niall was there for over 15 minutes, and that's the reason Jade went after him, worried.
They're now walking on the sidewalk together, keeping a small space between them.
"A-Admirer? Me?" Niall gulps. He knows what Jade's talking about but he wants to pretend that he doesn't know. Niall can't have an admirer, hell no. He's in love with Jade.
"Yes, Perrie!" She laughs.
"B-But uh—I don't like her." Niall doesn't know where all of this confidence is coming from. He absolutely wasn't planning to say that.
"You don't?" Jade frowns.
When Niall shakes his head, Jade opens her mouth to talk again. "Well, I saw how she was looking at you, and I thought I would help her and hook you two up.. But since you don't like her—"
"I like someone else." Niall blurts. He closes his eyes, biting his lips hardly until he feels the metallic taste of blood. Shit. Holy shit. I can't say that! He thinks. What the hell was he thinking?
"Oh," Jade raises a brow. "You do,"
Niall nods this time, both of them stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.
Niall's hands are trembling, he's sweating, and he can't possibly stop biting his lips in anxiousness.
"I—" They both weirdly say at the same time, then laughing when they realize it.
"You go first," Niall smiles softly, waiting for her to talk.
"Uh—I was wondering if you'd like to.." Jade shakes her head. "This is stupid, nevermind."
Niall's pupils widen in realization when it hits him what Jade's trying to ask. (Or maybe he's completely wrong and imagining things.)
Jade groans, huffing loudly. "Would you like to go to the movies tomorrow night?"

Niall's jaw hangs open, his stomach clenching and unclenching. His heart never beat this fast before, and he really thinks he's gonna die because his heart is skipping a beat or two. It's ridiculously cute.
"Y—I? You're—I don't und—" Niall stutters horribly, his cheeks beginning to redden.
Sweet, loud laughs erupt from Jade's mouth. Niall smiles widely at that and then musters up all the confidence he can then taking a deep shaky breath. "A-Are you asking me on a d-date?"
Jade's lips quirk up into a smile, her hands going around her back while swaying gently left to right. "Yeah.." She says shyly.
Jade has never been shy in front of anyone, but this is Niall we're talking about.
Niall releases a breath he didn't know he was holding, and oh god. Did Jade just ask him on a date? What if she asked him something else and he's having hearing problems?
