Chapter 19
Niall's Pov
"Dude, stop pausing the game" Harry said as I put my controller down.
"Sorry, got a text" I replied, grabbing my phone. I smiled as I read the simple text.
From: Tabby <3
"You're with Harry? Ok, then. What are you guys doing? x"
I typed my reply as Harry observed over my shoulder.
To: Tabby <3
"Just playing video games xx"
"Dude, it's Tabitha, why are you pausing just to text her back? I was on a kill streak!" Harry whined as I chuckled.
"Yeah, it's Tabitha. That's why I'm texting her back" I said without thinking.
"What?" he tilted his head. Shit.
"Nothing, don't worry man, let's just continue, aye?"
"No! Spill!"
I shook my head, "I can't, you'll tell Syd"
"I won't"
Yeah, sure you won't mate. You tell her everything.
"If I tell you will you promise me you won't tell her? Cause it's big" I asked.
"I won't, promise. But what's so big? Tell"
"I dunno, it's still confusing me"
"Maybe I can help" he said, shifting on his blue bean bag.
"Well... I think I love Tabitha"
"WHAT?" he sat up straight, "YOU LOVE HER?"
"Yeah... I know, that's why you can't tell Syd"
"I won't, but wow... Since when?"
"Since... Since Jacob left" I admitted.
"That was like three months ago"
Yay, Harry can count. Just kidding.
My phone vibrated again.
From: Tabby <3
"Fun, hope you're enjoying your game x"
I smiled like an idiot.
To: Tabby <3
"I am, see you later <3"
I looked up at Harry who had a questioning look. "Does she know?"
"No" I answered.
"Have you hinted or anything?"
"I can't really, I mean we're best friends so everything I could do to hint we already do"
"Oh yeah, true" he said.
"Yeah... But... Never mind"
"But what?"
"Nothing" I lied.
"What? Spill"
"No, it's nothing"
Harry rolled his eyes, "we've been mates for how long?"
"Since we were five..." I sighed.
"So, why don't you trust me?"
"Cause you'll tell Syd"
"Dude, I won't, trust me. This is mate stuff. I only tell her everything else"
I nodded, "I guess that's true"
"So tell"
"Ok, fine..." I took a breath, "we've almost kissed like five times but we never did. That's why there was that awkwardness a while ago"
