Niall and Andrea have been best friends since they were toddlers. Everyone believes they're secretly in love with each other but the two are blind against it. Will they fall in love?
Niall and I just got back to the hotel after grabbing Nando's. I can tell he's trying to be happy for me but I know he's sad.
"Can you unzip me?" I turn around and he does. He turns around so I can change. I grab one of his old shirts and a pair of shorts. He puts on some sweats as I remove my makeup. We eat in silence, neither of us knowing what to say. Once we finish, I throw our trash away and pull him on the bed. It's only 7 but I doubt we'll go anywhere tonight. He lays his head on my chest and wraps an arm around me.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He shakes his head no. I can't blame him but I wish he would talk to me. He's always had this habit of bottling his feelings up. We lay there in silence until I hear him sniffle but he rolls over so I can't see him cry.
"Baby..." I wrap my arm around his waist and kiss his shoulder. He grabs my hand and laces our fingers together.
"I just don't get why? I know we have crazy schedules but we still make time to see each other. Did she just not fancy me anymore? I don't get it, Rea." He sighs.
"Look at me, please." I tell him but he shakes his head no. Fine, I'll do this the hard way. I climb over him and lay so I'm facing him.
"I can't tell you why she decided to cheat. That's something only she can answer. I can tell you, it's not your fault. She doesn't deserve you. I personally have never liked her for you, you're just too different. And she hates Nando's. Who the hell hates Nando's?!" I say, making him laugh a little.
"Thank you, darlin." I kiss the top of his chest and snuggle into him.
"Thank you for coming today, even though it was a bad day, I'm glad you were there." I tell him.
"You did amazing and you looked absolutely beautiful. I'll need to buy one of those suits when they get released." He states.
"Which was your favorite?" I look up to him then move up so we're nose to nose.
"Number 7." I smile. I knew he would like that one.

"Well when I get them produced, you will be the first to get one. And I'll even throw a little discount in there." I laugh.
"Really? You're not going to give your best friend a free suit?" He chuckles.
"I need to make a living too!" He laughs and I feel his hand go up my shirt. It's not uncommon for him to do that but I've never asked why he does.
"I love you." He looks right into my eyes as he says that. There's something about the way he said it that makes me think there's a deeper meaning than just our normal "I love yous". It takes me a minute to answer because I stare into his blue eyes. I've always loved his eyes, they're beautiful.
"I love you too." I whisper. We lay there in silence, just staring at each other. This isn't really uncommon for us either. We're weird, I guess. I break the silence after a few minutes.
"Can we get gelato?" This makes him bust out laughing.
"You gonna go out in my shirt and shorts?" He laughs. I've missed his laugh. It always makes me smile.
"Yes, I'm quite comfortable."
"Well it's about 10 degrees outside. I'd put something warmer on." I groan and get up. I put on a pair of jeans and one of his sweaters.
"Why are you always stealing my clothes?" He asks.
"They're comfortable and smell good?" I say like it's common sense. He shakes his head then puts a sweater on and we leave. I've missed being able to hang out with him and be normal.
"I've really missed this." I grab his hand as we walk.
"What? Walking down the streets of Milan?" He chuckles.
"No being able to hang out with you and just having fun. Hey what do you think about going to Nonna's and spending a week with them? Just to get away from the world and life?" I suggest. We turn down another road and the gelato shop is a few yards away.
"Sure. I miss her cooking." He chuckles as we walk into the shop. I get the blueberry and he gets cookies and cream. He pays and we walk back outside.
"Give me a bite." I say. He rolls his eyes and feeds me some of his. I am the only person he will share food with.
"Is yours good?" He asks. I feed him some and he nods it is good. We walk around the square, eating our gelato. I keep stealing some of his and he steals some of mine.
"I'll call Nonna tomorrow and tell her we're coming. You know she'll have a whole feast prepared." I chuckle.
"I do miss them. It'll be nice to have a break and to spend some time with you. We haven't gotten to hang out in forever. I miss you." He grabs my hand then steals some gelato.
"I miss you too. I haven't gotten a break in forever. Only when I've come to see you. I spent a week with Nonna and Nonno last week but I didn't get to spend much time with them because I was working." He nods, understanding.
"How long do you want to stay?" He asks.
"I can work from home, I have some time saved up so it doesn't matter."
