More Than Lucky ~A One Direction Fanfic~

Chapter 7 Almost Love

***Inez's POV***

"Can't I just go and get my pyjamas?" I asked Niall who wanted me to stay at his house.

"Okay. I'll wait here." he said.

I got up to our flat. Jackie and Anna were sitting on the sofa talking. I didn't want them to see me but with my luck......

"Innie, what did he say?" Jackie asked when she saw me

"I'm staying at his house. I'm just getting my pyjamas."

" OOHHHOOOHHH!" Anna did the typical thing again.

"What!?" Why do they think we're in love!?

"Him staying here, you staying there! You blushing and giggling when he talks to you! Admit it! YOU LIKE LIKE HIM!" Jackie said smiling hugely.

"We're just good friends, okay!" There's nothing between us. Or was there? Nah, I'm just a dork

I got my pyjamas and got back the car. I didn't take long until we were at his flat. I didn't know we lived so close to each other. We went into his flat ( which looked a lot like Louis and Harry's) we sat down one the sofa and talked, but I got bored pretty quickly.

"Guess what!" I said.

"What? " he said bluntly.

"Staring competition!" I shouted.

"Yeah buddie!" he smiled.

We were staring into each others eyes, now on the thirteenth competition. 6-6. This was the game that would give us a winner! The loser had to do something for the winner. My eyes were starting to water and a tear fell down my cheek. I wasn't sad, I was just good at staring! It was uncontrolable.

"Are you okay?" Niall frowned.

"Yes, I'm fine. This happens when I stare." I said.

"Oh, okay then." he said. The competition didn't last much longer. Before I knew it I...............won!

"YEAH, I WIN AHA AHA AHA AHA AHA I WIN I'M THE BEST OH YEAH!" I was doing a celebratory dance like the one Niall did when he won over me. He picked me up and spun me around. I got butterflies in my stomach. I started thinking of the Jessica Jarrell song 'Almost Love' and the lyrics 'I get I rush, more than a crush, almost love'. Niall was still holding me. My feet didn't even touch the ground and I felt light as a feather.

"So what do I have to do?" Niall asked. Our faces just inches away. I wanted to say the obvious! Kiss me, kiss me , KISS ME! But what if he didn't want to? I'd look like an idiot and it would probably ruin our friendship we'd been building up for about two weeks! Oh, come on Inez! Take a chance don't live your life on the safe side! A voice in my head told me. I took a deep breath.
