You & I **ON HOLD**

I climbed out of the car. 'Thanks for taking me here, Niall,' I said to him. (Let's assume Niall has a driving license, eh?) 'Aw, no problem, Tea Cosy,' he smiled, using my usual nickname. As we walked over towards the house we saw the face of Louis just outside it. 'Happy birthday, mate,' Niall said to Louis. 'Already twenty-t - '
'Don't say my age, Niall, or I might strangle you,' Louis teased.
'Lou, this is my friend Teagan Donnovan,' Niall introduced me to Louis.
'Hi, Teagan.'
'Hello. Nice to meet you,' I replied politely.
'You too. Well, what are you two waiting for? Summer? go inside! I'll catch you up.' I smiled and we entered the building. I barely recognised anybody, just the 1D boys. 'Teagan, this is my sister, Charlotte.' Louis said to me, signalling a girl who looked very like him.
'Hi. I'm Teagan Donnovan.'
'Lottie Tomlinson,' she smiled. 'You're Niall's friend?'
'Yeah. Since school.'
'That's cool.'
'At least you know two people here now,' Niall said to me. 'You wait till I introduce you to everyone else!'
I blushed. Niall knew I was shy, he just wanted to annoy me.
'Hello, Niall.' A girl hugged him.
'Hi, Gemma. T, this is Harry's sister Gemma.'
'Hi, I'm Teagan.'
'I'm Gemma. So are you and Niall...?' She asked, a little too innocently.
'No no no!' I explained. 'We're just friends.We've been friends since school.'
'Yeah, just friends,' Niall said, sounding a little bitter.
'Oh. OK!' Gemma said brightly.
As Niall introduced me to more people, we had to constantly tell people we weren't a couple, and Niall looked at me weirdly every time I said so. 'You alright?' I asked him.
'Yeah, I'm fine, Teagan.' I wasn't sure. 'I'm just a little tired, that's all,' he said, seeing the expression on my face. 'OK, Nialler, I believe you,' I smiled. I sweeped my wild hair out of my face casually.
'It's good you agreed to come to this party with me, you barely ever go to parties.'
'Yeah, well, I'm not really a party person, but I hadn't seen you in ages, which is why I said yes.' Niall lead me to where the other boys were. 'Boys, this is my friend Teagan Donnovan. We were friends at school, and she's going to move here to study.'
'Little Black Dress just walked into the room,' Liam sang. I laughed and looked at my short black dress. 'Well, Teagan, it's great to meet you. I would introduce myself but you probably know who I am.'
'It's great to meet you, too,' I laughed, and hugged him, then Zayn, then Harry, who was staring at me intensely. 'Teagan, I'm sure you'll find England a lovely, rainy place to live in,' Zayn joked.
'Ireland's not that different, actually,' I giggled.
'Now now, Teagan, did you wear that dress on purpose?' Harry pretended to scold me.
'No, I didn't. Niall suggested I wear it.' They all turned to Niall.
'I didn't think of the song!' He put up his hands. Soon, Zayn and Liam left to talk to other people. 'I'll be over here if you need me,' Niall called. I did a thumbs up to him. Harry stayed around me.
'So, how long have you been friends with Nialler for?' He asked me after a moment's silence.
'Ages. He stopped some guys from bullying me at school one day, and we've been friends since. He was 12, so I was 10 or 11.'
'That's really nice of him.'
'Yeah. Not to change the subject, but I really like Midnight Memories! It's so good!'
'Yeah? We did work really hard on it.'
'I can tell.'
'What's your favourite song on the album?'
'Half a Heart and Right Now.'
'so, if you are a directioner, sweet stuff, you must like one of us, right?'
'No. Not really.'
'What do you mean, not really?'
'no. I don't.'
'I hardly believe you.'
'I don't, Harry, how many times will I tell you?' I said, which was a complete lie, because since One Direction started, I had gained a soft spot for Harry, but I didn't fancy telling it to his face. 'Tut tut, Little White Lies,' he teased. 'Who is it? Liam? Louis? Me? Someone as pretty as you would fit - '
'Harry Styles, you flirt! You are just flirting with me, now.'
'So what if I am?' He leant over to me, his bright green eyes locking onto mine... -
'Harry!' A pink haired girl walked over to him and gave him a hug.
'Perrie! All good?'
'Yeah. The wedding's been postponed again.'
'that is so annoying.'
'Tell me about it. Who's this?' She added, looking at me.
'This is Teagan Donnovan, Niall's friend.'
'Hello.'
'Hi.'
'Well, you two, I'll have to leave you. I need to talk to Zayn about something.'
'Bye, Perrie,' Harry said. He turned to me. 'So, you're moving here?'
'Yeah. Niall said I could stay with him.'
'So when do you move over here?'
'I go back to Ireland tomorrow and then I pack all my stuff and come here.'
'I'll see you soon, then.'
'Yeah.'
'We'll stay in touch, anyway,' he said, reaching for his phone in his pocket. I rolled my eyes but gave him my number, and he took my hand. 'Listen, do you want to - '
'Teagan! T! Tea Cosy!' It was the unmistakable voice of Niall.
'Potato,' I replied coolly.
'What?' Harry asked, looking confused. I laughed.
'Niall calls me Tea Cosy and I call him Potato.' I explained.
'Anyway. Teagan, I was wondering if you'd like to - '
'Teagan, this is my girlfriend. Sophia.' Liam called.
'Hello, I'm Teagan, Niall's friend.'
'Hello. I'm sure we'll be good friends,' she smiled. I smiled reassuringly back, and they walked away casually. 'You were saying, Niall?' I said.
'Nothing, I just wanted you to meet Ed.'
'Sheeran?'
'Yeah. Come on.'
As Niall pulled me away, Harry called, 'see you around, little black dress!'
'see you!' I laughed.
'Ed, this is Teagan, my friend.' He said to Ed.'
'Hello, Teagan.'
'Hi. It's nice to meet you.'
'You too.' Niall started a conversation, and I didn't really feel part of it. I went to look for someone else to talk to. I saw Lottie and sad hi.
'Hi Teagan. Have you met anyone else?'
'Yeah. loads of people!'
'I saw you talking to Harry...' She tailed off, smirking.
' And...'
' Are you two...?' She raised one eyebrow.
'No! We were just talking. We're just friends.'
' OK. Whatever.' She smiled at me mischievously. I rolled my eyes. I walked away, and, (literally) bumped into Harry. 'I'm so sorry,' he said to me.
'Don't worry about it,' I muttered.
'You are really not a party person, are you?'
'No, I'm not,' I said truthfully. He laughed. Then he locked his bright green eyes on me again.
'Teagan?'
'Yeah?'
'Merry Christmas.' Without me expecting it, he pressed his lips to mine.
