This is pretty much uncomfortable as hell.  I’m squinting my eyes as much as possible, I’m interested in watching but too scared.  I’ve been stiff in the same position the whole time.  But nothing that bad has even happened yet. 

“I’m going to get some candy, is that okay?” Niall whispered.  HOLY NO!  DON’T LEAVE ME DOWN HERE.  ALONE. NIALL HORAN.  “Sure.” I replied, what is wrong with me?  He slipped off the couch and jogged up the stairs.  When the basement door clicked shut I whimpered.  I don’t want to watch the girl get possessed, okay!

What the hell is happening now? I pulled the blanket up even higher on my face.  I could tell I was slightly shaking.  Holy shit.  Some priest is walking up the stairs now and I’m getting an eerie feeling that something will happen.  I had butterflies in my stomach.  I’m freaking alone in the dark!  The door opened and I sighed a sigh of relief.  Niall get back down here.  Now there’s moaning noises coming from somewhere in the movie. Shit.  “NIALL.” I yelped loudly and motioned him over here. 

This made me want him now.  Not like I didn’t before.  Niall sat back down in his position.  I curled my body towards him more.  Niall chuckled, “Want some can-“ “AHHHHHHHHH!” I screamed when the possessed girls face popped up.  I grabbed his hand under the blanket.  “Damn Gracie, you have a tight grip.” Niall mumbled and interlocked our fingers.  I didn’t notice how hard I was holding his hand, woops.  I relaxed my grip slightly.

I was laying my head on his shoulder now.  I’m scared, I'm allowed to be.  Niall seemed perfectly fine though.  The girl started doing creepy things in the night because she was possessed.  It was really creeping me out.  I hid my face in Niall’s shoulder.  I didn’t want to watch this anymore.  I won’t be able to sleep. And I’m in the basement alone. 

“Gracie, it’s okay.” He whispered.  I nodded, still hiding my face.  He wrapped a free arm around my waist.  Niall blurted, "Are you shaking?"  I brought my head back up and held my hand out.  "Oh my god ya are! I'm sorry!  We don't have to watch, ya know!" He said worried and clasped his hand around mine.  Being the loser I am, I screamed again when another scary part happened.  Niall got off the couch to turn it off.  "Ya we're turning this off!  I've already seen it many times."

Wow...he probably just wanted to scare me then.  He didn't think I would get this scared though.  Ugh i feel bad.  The lights flicked on and he chuckled,  "It's off now."  I was all hidden in the blankets.  It made me laugh too and I uncovered myself.  I've been under those blankets for too long. 

"So what do you want to do now.  Sorry if you wanted to watch that by the way." I said awkwardly.  Niall just stood there chuckling at himself.  What the heck?  I giggled and yelled, "What!"  Niall came and sat by me on the couch.  He finally explained, "Last time we watched a movie was when we snogged."  I felt my face flush.  That was before we even dated.  Awh! 

Niall kept smiling and it made me smile back.  "I really wanted to kiss you that whole time, but I didn't think you'd want to."  "Same!  I didn't think you did either!" I said rather excitedly.  It's funny to realize we both felt the same in that situation.  I continued,  "Then the Halloween party was so fun. I was glad you asked me out.  I was..really excited." 

I actually really want to go back to the Halloween party.  That was one of the most fun nights of my life.  Definitely a good memory.  "I'm glad I did too.  Grace, I fancied you ever since you came here.  I was so nervous to ask you out.  But now look at us." Niall said slightly in a shy voice.  So during the futbol game, first party, and all...he really did?  "Awh, really!  I'm glad you stayed and helped me to my dorm on that first day." He laughed and rose an eyebrow, "Hopefully I didn't look like too much of an idiot sitting on the ground."  I burst out laughing.  He was actually pretty weird, but I liked him.

"You didn't, don't worry!  I thought your accent was really cute...and you." I admitted.  Niall tells me I'm pretty a lot and sometimes I just want to rant on how he is hot.  Niall played the ends of his hair and blushed.  Reminds me of our first date.  Okay, this is like memory lane.  Haha.  "Thanks.  Gracie, can I ask you something?" Niall said.  Oh crud.  Whenever a guy says - can I ask you something...it always makes me nervous.  It could really be anything! 

I nodded and adjusted my position a little.  We we're each on one side of the couch.  Me, leaning agaisnt the side and Niall on the other, with our legs out.  Niall kept brushing his feet agaisnt mine this whole time and I wanted to laugh.  He finally asked with a straight face, "Why do ya like me?" 

For some reason my heart started beating fast.  Well.  That's a hard question to answer.  An easy answer to that question is because..a person is nice or cute.  But Niall is my boyfriend.  And I really do like him.  I wanted him to know that too!  He seems to doubt a lot.  With the best I could, I grinned, "Niall, I like you a lot.  You're overall a good boyfriend and friend.  You can make me laugh.  That's something I would definately want in a boyfriend.  Seriously, your obsession with food and hyperness is hilarious."  Niall looked at me laughing and started to smile widely. 

"Then also, you don't intimidate me.  I feel all protected and happy with you.  Then obviously I find you very attractive.  Wear snapbacks a lot more, I like those." I giggled and added, "And why are you asking?"   He happily sighed and took in all I said.  "You are such a cutie.  And I'll wear snapbacks for you more."  I gave him an air highfive, considering we can't reach eachother.  I could tell he heard me asking why he brought this up in the first place.  Because he started to put on a thinking face. 

His lips parted slightly and he was trying to think of what to say.  Geez, I am anxious now!  I kept watching his lips though.  It feels good to have a boyfriend, because you know you get those all to yourself.  "The reason I asked was because I thought you were cool the first week you came here.  I was surprised you still were friends with me.  When I realized you still talked to me, I tried to stay with ya.  Ya know, since I had a chance.  I just never really had girls like me like that." Niall said embarassed.  GOSH!  That's why he kept saying my "popular friends" the first week.  Things can be messed up.  I was definitely not cool and definitely not "too cool" for Niall. 

"Come here." I grinned and motioned him over by me.  He got up from the couch and over to where I was.  Niall crouched down on his knees and looked at me.  I pulled him in from the neck and planted a long kiss on his cheek.  "Niall, I was never even cool.  And I don't understand why girls didn't like you.  They're just missing out, I promise." Niall gave me a slight smile, "Thanks." 

Niall just admitted that.  I should probably admit something, considering my secret is kind of like his.  Suddenly Niall swiped his finger across my lips.  "Stop biting your lip." He chuckled.  I didn't even notice I was doing that!  "Sorry, bad habit." I giggled and added, "But Niall before I moved here no guys liked me either. So we're on the same page."  His face scrunched up.  "How did guys not like you?!" He blurted.  I giggled again and shrugged.  "Right back at you..well except girls for your situation."  Niall shrugged, "Well I'm glad you said yes when I asked you out."  "And I'm glad you asked." I smiled.  Okay, we are seriously having a moment. 

He sat back down on the couch, but this time we cuddled up next to each other.  "Hey Niall.." I whispered.  He made a little "Mhmm" noise.  I keep wanting to ask why he has a guitar in his room.  I mean, he must play right?  Maybe not.  But I wanted to ask.  "Why do you have a guitar in your room?"  His face lit up.  "My guitar!" He said happily, "I've been playing since I was, er, possibly 12."  I definitely want to hear him play now.. I just kind of sneakily smiled at him.  He smirked knowing what I was thinking.  "I'll go get it.  You can wait or come." Niall said.  "I'll just stay.  Go quick." I smiled.  He nodded and rushed up the stairs.  "Go, go, go!" I joked. 

I started laughed by myself.  What am I even laughing about?  But it's actually pretty fun to talk to guys about..i don't know, stuff..life.. Usually I just do it with my girls.

I grew really excited when he came back down with his guitar.  What was he going to play?  He sat next to me and started adjusted the nobs at the top.  I had no clue what he was doing, but he seemed to!  "Er- okay." He kept saying.  I giggled, "So what are you going to play."  "Justin Bieber song." He laughed loudly.  I joined in laughing too.  Of course, Niall, of course. 

I grinned when I realized he put a snapback on.  "Love the hat." I winked.  "Finally!  I was worried you didn't notice." Niall chuckled.  Aw, that's so cute he put it on. 

He started doing little strums.  "Let me figure out how to play this again." He mumbled.  After about a minute or so he seemed to get the hang of it.  "Ready?" He smiled.  I nodded my head quickly.  "Don't make fun of me if I suck."  "Niall! Just go!" I laughed. 

He started to strum a simple song.  But it was really sweet and catchy.  I didn't recognize it though!  It was so cute, he would bob his head with each strum.  He seems so into it.  His fingers switched back and forth from different chords.  It was really entertaining. 

Niall smiled up at me and I gave a thumbs up.  He started singing quietly though, "And when you hold my hand then I understand... that it's meant to be. 'cause, baby, when you're with me..."

What?! Oh my gosh?!? What?! His voice sounded really good!  Niall looked back up and laughed softly before singing again, but a little louder. 

"It's like an angel came by and took me to heaven...

'Cause when I stare in your eyes it couldn't be better..

Let the music blast, we gon' do our dance..

Bring the doubters on, they don't matter at all...

'Cause this life's too long and this love's too strong..

So baby, know for sure that I'll never let you go." 

My stomach fluttered with butterflies.  Even though it was just a song, I could tell he was meaning his words.  Niall's my first boyfriend.  But will we ever say I love you to eachother.  I wouldn't mean the I would marry you type of i love you.  But what does it really mean then?  We haven't dated that long.  But we've liked eachother for a while. 

This is killing me and making me want to cry.  Niall could sing and play guitar!  Perfect boyfriend moment.

Instead of saying anything I tackled him with a hug.  Niall laughed his obnoxious laugh.  But obviously I love it and think it's hysterical.  He fell back on the couch with me on top of him.  While this happened he set his guitar down.  I realized I was laying on him and whispered, "Sorry if I'm hurting you."  Niall laughed again and shook his head, "No, I'm..perfectly fine with this..er, position."  I saw him blush slighty and giggled. 

"But Niall you can really play guitar!  And your voice is amazing!" I blurted excited.  "Thanks.  I guess I just always played and sung a little for fun." Niall shrugged, I could tell he was proud though.  He wrapped his arms around my waist, squeezing me slightly and keeping me on him.  He kissed my nose sweetly.  Ok..perfect moment to say we love eachother. 

I heard the basement door open and a voice yell, "GO TO BED, IT'S TWO IN THE MORNING!"  "Greg..." Niall groaned.  The door closed, more like slammed.  Well Niall was playing guitar, it must of been loud.  I don't blame Greg.  Niall played with a piece of my hair, "I guess we should go to bed."

I frowned.  I didn't want to be in the basement by myself.   I wasn't sure if he would stay down here, but I might as well ask.   I whispered, "Stay with me."  Niall flashed a grin and nodded happily. He placed his snapback on my head.  I giggled and adjusted it. 

After smiling at eachother for a little longer, Niall laughed quietly, "You can get off now."  I rose an eyebrow, "You can let go of me now."  He blushed and let go of me.  I rolled off him and almost fell off the couch.  Luckily I got my feet down first.  Niall was covering his mouth to keep from laughing.  Good, because if he laughed he would wake everyone up.  Hehe.

I tiptoed over to the bed in the basement and put his hat on the sidetable.  Then I slipped under the covers.  Niall went to turn off the lights.  When they flicked off I was so glad Niall was staying down here.  It was pitch dark.  I would of never been able to sleep. 

The bed sunk slightly next to me and Niall got under the covers too.  We both laid there for about a minute.  "Get over here." He joked, his voice tempting another laugh.  I giggled and curled into his chest.  It made everything more warm and snuggly. 

Oh my gosh, I'm in a bed with a guy.  "Goodnight.." i whispered.  "Night Gracie." He smiled, even though I couldn't see.  No guy has said I love you to me and I wanted Niall too.  It seems like such a powerful word right now.  But three powerful and confusing words.   I have a feeling Niall is trying to figure out what it means too.  I smiled though, at least I was here and with my boyfriend. 

Niall tangled our legs together, making us even closer.  I was surrounded with warmth and a reallyaddicting scent.  It must be Niall's shirt.  I grinned and listened to his steady heartbeat until I fell asleep.  I love you Niall Horan...I really do.
