~When I Look At You~

Suddenly all around me, I felt like it was only me and him. Like all around me, the lights just went black, and for a second or two, all the girls in the concert venue had disappeared. I could hear nothing but the words that were ringing in my ears.

"I love you...I love you..I love you.."

I could feel my face flushed and I was sure I was blushing so much, I could have been literally red. I could feel my face heating up, and I couldn't believe what was happening then. Then all at once, everything came back to reality, and the loud screaming returned as if someone had just turned the volume of a radio up and all around me I could see people just staring at me, waiting for a response from me. I looked around and Liam and Louis were smiling so wide at me, while Zayn was mouthing the words 'Say something!' to me. Then I looked around the whole venue, taking in the full atmosphere of the watching eyes. So many reactions, from people crying(I had no idea if they were tears of joy, or tears of jealousy), to people screaming their heads off.

One thing's for sure, my heart was beating fast and it was beating only for one. I moved my muscles to form a huge smile on my face, wiped my tears of joy, and said out loud the three words I've been dying to say to him for so long.

"I love you too!"

Immediately, a huge grin spread across his face and he grabbed me and kissed me so passionately. I returned back the kiss, savouring the taste of his lips, the one I've been wanting to kiss for so long. I didn't care that more than 5,000 people were watching me, and I know for sure Niall didn't too. He parted lips with me, and stared into my face, still grinning and wiped off my wet cheeks and whispered for me to go backstage. I nodded happily, and took another look at the audience before I left the stage. I wanted to remember that moment. It was so surreal.

The boys smiled and congratulated me as I passed them while getting off the stage. I could hear Harry's voice speaking out to the audience, to get them back to the performance.

"Well wasn't that just wonderful? Now, we're gonna let Niall here catch a breather while we let the DJ spin some tunes for you guys alright? We'll see you in a bit!"

I knew that was the cue for Zayn to entertain the crowd with his DJ-ing skills, while the rest of the boys would go back to get ready for their next song. Everything was happening so quickly that I didn't had much time to register what was happening. All I know was that I was still smiling like a lovesick puppy, and that nothing else mattered, not even the tour. The boys rushed in one by one, and all of them immediately came to hug me. I was being squeezed in the middle by Harry, Liam and Louis as Niall watched from afar, smiling proudly over my shoulders. I looked over at him, and smiled back at him.

When we're together, nothing else matters.

The boys were rushed into their dressing rooms so I didn't get the time to talk to Niall till after the concert. That night, he had driven me to a beautiful place which overlooks the city, and we just sat on the hood of the car cuddled up together while staring out to the stars. I played with his hands, and we kissed under the stars.

"You know, I thought you've given up on me already. You didn't even react to any of my gifts." I pouted.

He laughed. "That was part of the plan Lila. I wanted to surprise you tonight, and I did, didn't I?"

I nodded, and asked,"So what do you think of my gifts?"

"I think.."he said, and moved in closer to cuddle me up more and placed his forehead on mine," that your gifts are the best thing someone had ever given to me."

Then he reached in for a kiss. I smiled as our lips parted, blushing a little bit. We spent the night just enjoying our time together, cuddling up and talking about the littlest of things. He told me how he had told the other boys after our argument that night at the bowling centre and Zayn had offered to help him out. We chatted throughout the night, and didn't took notice of what time it was. I wanted to stay up longer with him, but when I turned, I realised he had fallen asleep on my shoulders. I stared at his innocent face, admiring how peaceful he looked while he was asleep. I knew he was tired, and didn't want to wake him up, so I cuddled up to him, and soon after, I too fell asleep beside him.
