Dare I Say It?
Chapter 7 - How's that for coincidence?
Romany's POV
Niall and I are neighbors? Huh. What're the odds?
"So you wanna come in for a bit? I don't really feel like being alone right now.." I trail off.
"Sure! I'd love to!" He exclaims.
I dig through my backpack for my keys. We enter the house and Niall allows me to enter first.
"So, um.. This is home." I say, awkwardly stretching my arms out and shrugging. He wanders through the house looking at all the family photos decorating the walls of the living room and hallway.
"I like it. It's very homey." He says.
"Homey being the nice word for poor???" I raise my eyebrow. He laughs.
"No, dumbass. Homey as in comfortable. Like friendly."
"Oh.. Huh.. Thanks, I guess?"
He nods with a faint smile playing on his lips. Then he makes a beeline for the kitchen. I roll my eyes and chuckle. He's bound to find the cookie jar first.
"George! Gorgeous George! Were are you my angel baby????" I call. I hear a lazy meow coming from behind the couch. I jump on the couch, lean over and scoop him into my arms.
"How've you been my love? How was your day? Did you make any new friends?" I coo. "I certainly have! One of them's here right now. He's just in the kitchen getting snacks now, though, but you'll meet him in a sec. You'll really like him!" George blinks and meows. I gasp.
"No! Then what did you say?" He meows again. I giggle. "You're so badass Georgie baby." I hug him.
When I look up I see Niall standing in the doorway, pockets bulging with cookies and two cokes in his hands, with a weird look on his face.
"What?" I ask, but he just shakes his head. I shrug.
"Well, Niall, this is the most important guy in my life, George." I stroke George's little head. "George, this is Niall, my friend I was telling you about? Go say hi!" George yawns and lazily gets up and plops himself on Niall's lap with a meow.
Niall's POV
That was the weirdest, but cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. Rome having a chat with the fattest ginger cat on earth. It's sitting on my lap right now, heavy as four bricks, purring like a lawnmower. I tentatively stroke his head. The purring gets louder as he headbutts my palm. I laugh as he climbs up on my chest to lick my face.
"Easy there guy. Not on the first date!" I scrunch my nose up for effect. Romany giggles. Most beautiful sound ever.
"Hey, who said anything about dating my baby?" She widens her eyes. I laugh.
"I did. Seeing as he's the only Miller I'm allowed to date." Okay so that might have just been a bad attempt at a hint, but hopefully she won't call me on it.
She smirks. "Who said he's the only Miller you're allowed to date?"
My pulse quickens. I lean slightly closer to her. "I don't know. You tell me." I see a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"I certainly didn't. Buuuut if that's the way you feel -"
"No, no, it's not that I don't want to, because holy shit I do, but -"
"Wait. Back up. You want to date me?" She sounds shocked. Why does she sound shocked? Have I not made my feelings clear enough???
"Well... uh... um... yeah... ah.. I do.." I stutter.
"Then why the but??" she asks.
I sigh. "But I wouldn't because Harry's started fancying you and Guycode clearly states that the one who sees her first, gets to date her first."
"Why should I care about Guycode?" She asks.
"You shouldn't, I should. Any self respecting guy should."
She frowns. And then the smirk returns. "So what if, hypothetically, I were to ask you out? What then?"
I know where she's going with this. I grin.
"Then Guycode would be moot."
"Heehee.. moot... That's a funny word. But seriously now. If you're not gonna ask me out, I'm going to have to do it, aren't I?"
"Probably yes." I say.
She sighs dramatically. "Fiiine. Niall Horan. Would you want to go on a date with me this Friday?"
I grin triumphantly. "I'd love to." I lean in to give her a quick peck on the cheek, then I jump up, run to the door throwing a "SEE YA ROME!" over my shoulder and run out to my house.

Notes
Hi again! Wassup?????
Sorry for not updating for ages!! Things have been hectic once again... Prom madness and stuff.
Today's chapter is just a teensy short one, because I had no idea what to write.
On another topic, and I know it happened almost a month ago, but I need to say this:
What the actual fuck, Zayn??????
Not cool. Broke my heart. Broke everyone's hearts. I'm still not over it yet.
Not that I'm hating or anything, but I feel that was a pretty selfish move of him to just up and leave the boys and the band and all of us, months before the new album's set to arrive, to be a "normal guy" but then launch a solo career? That's not cool. And you know what's not cool either? The way he went off at poor Lou the other day. Lou only cares for fucksake!
Ugh. I am so frustrated.
I love ya faces!
