"Hi! It's So Nice To Meet You" - Niall Horan

Here you go Annie, I'm so sorry it took so long, but hope it was worth the wait :) Megz <3 xxx 

Much to your dismay, right now you were standing among a crowd of couples or some drunk idiots looking to get laid. It was New Year's and in a few hours the countdown will start. Of course, you definitely didn't want to be here since you weren't a fan of one night stands and you didn't have a boyfriend in your life at the moment, but that didn't stop your best friend from dragging you along with her to Funky Buddha. The club was fully packed with strangers and people you have never met since it was your best friend's boyfriend hosting the event. You wanted nothing more than to be at home right now watching a funny comedy series, huddled up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate, but according to her you needed "live a little" and "get out there" but you had none of that in mind.  

You started to move, flinging your arms everywhere, trying to move past the clinging bodies but just your luck, you were right in the middle of the crowd. It took you a good 30mins to get out of the crowd and outside for some fresh air. You felt yourself calm down as the cool wind hit your whole body as you stepped outside, pacing back and forth. 

"Hey" said a random stranger, making you jump and clasp your chest in fright.  

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you there love" he spoke, a thick Irish accent leaving his lips. 

"It's fine" you managed to choke out, still shocked, AS YOU COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE NIALL HORAN. 

"I'm Niall" he smiled, showing off his perfect teeth, holding his hand out to shake yours, 

"Annie" you replied, shaking his hand, throwing in a smile, trying to play it cool and not freak out. You got a chance to look at him better now and you were taken aback by his beauty. He wore black skinny jeans and a plain black shirt paired with red Supra's matched with a red belt. He left you breathless at how perfect he looked. He was quite tall compared to you and his blonde quiff was styled perfectly. 

"So what are you doing here?" You asked, trying to keep a conversation going.  

"My best friend Josh is hosting the party and he wanted me to come. I didn't feel like coming. I just came home from a long tour and all I wanted to do was relax" he explained.  

"Oh, my best friend dragged me here, I wasn't up for a party either, if I'm honest" you revealed.  

"Well enjoy your night. I should probably be getting inside." he said kind of disappointing you. Truth is you were enjoying his company, since you had know idea who anyone else was. Trying not to show your disappointment you nodded. Just as you was about to leave, he called out for you.  

"Hey Annie?"  

"Yeah?" You countered, turning your head back 

"Umm I was wondering if you wanted to grab a drink inside?" he asked sounding nervous as he began rubbing the back of his neck, staring at the ground. 

You tried your best to not start nodding like a complete idiot, but you of course agreed. "I'd love that."  

He soon led you inside, taking you to the bar where he began ordering your drinks, chatting away over the loud music while you waited for them. You settled on a couch and got comfortable. you couldn't help but enjoy Niall's company more than a... friendly way. But what if he had a girlfriend, how could he not, I mean look at him. Well you were definitely going to find out. 

"So who did you come here with tonight?" You asked him trying to be the least bit blunt as you could, but it was a pretty straight forward question. 

"Umm, what do yo-" he stuttered, turning a deep shade of red. 

"I mean where's your girlfriend?" you asked, getting embarrassed that you had actually phrased it that way.  

"I don't have one. Where's your boyfriend?" he asked. 

"South Africa" You said trying to hold in your laugh. 

"Oh" was all that escaped his lips. You couldn't hold it in anymore as you burst out laughing earning a confused expression to be spread across his face. 

"Niall I don't have a boyfriend. If I did wouldn't I be talking to a fit gu-" 

"Wait you think I'm fit" he asked with a smug look on his face. 

"What?!?! pshhh no" you denied all too quickly causing him to break out with a grin.  

"I was hoping you weren't going to hear that" you whispered. 

"Oh I did." Damn it. He heard that too, whacking your forehead with your hand. You looked to see everyone waiting for the New Year's countdown to begin. As Niall stood up he let out his hand offering to help you up. After taking it the countdown began.  

10, 9, 8 

"So, who do plan to share your New Year's kiss with?" he shouted trying to be heard over the crowd. 

"Well I have someone in mind" You shouted back. 

7, 6, 5 

"So do I" he replied. 

4, 3, 2 

In the next few moments you felt the both of you leaning in, and before you knew it you felt a soft pair of lips on yours. The rush of everything was indescribable. Just like the fire works displayed, you could feel fire works in your stomach. You could taste the vodka orange juice he had just drank on his lips causing you to smile into the kiss. Everything around you didn't seem to matter as you pulled back you only stared at one another before breaking out in a grin. You soon began laughing as you heard Josh and your best friend, whooping in the background. You were glad that you had been forced to come tonight, other wise you would have never met Niall, but most of all you wouldn't have known that you had just found the one.
