Chapter 14

Liz’s POV

It was almost 8:00pm when we Niall and I were walking back to the mansion.

When we were about to walk inside Niall stopped me.

He was standing in front of me and a little shy at first, he caressed my cheek, and then he put my still wet hair behind my ear.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen right now but, um, just in case…” and he kissed me.

It was a soft kiss though almost like a butterfly stopping to rest and leaving too quick.

I smiled up at him “well I’m pretty sure you have nothing to worry about Niall’.

He smiled a bit, but then sighed.

“Liz, today was amazing, but that doesn’t change that Zayn likes you, and I don’t know…” he started, “You don’t know if you want to be with me while your best friend likes me” I finished for him while my smile faded.

I stepped back a little, “Liz I’m sorry, I just…”

“It’s alright, I understand, friendships should always come first… but why did you go on the date with me, and kiss me, and tell me all of those things making me like you even more, if you didn’t plan on being with me?” I said getting upset.

Niall’s POV

“First of all, I didn’t even know you like me, you never told me!” I said getting upset too.

“I didn’t have to! It doesn’t take a genius to notice how I felt about you and I didn’t think I should tell you and make it harder for you to be around me” she said and I felt even worse.

“Liz…” I said.

“Don’t worry, we’ll still be friends… thanks for today. Good Night” she said really fast and I tried to stop her from leaving but didn’t succeed.

I slowly walked inside and to my room, where all the guys were chatting.

They all looked up at me when I walked in the room.

“How was it?” Liam asked.

“Great” I said while I took my wet shirt off.

“Then why do you seem upset, and why are you all wet?” Louis asked, and I answered without looking at Zayn.

“Lake and the first part don’t worry about it” I said slowly.

“Did you guys argue?” Harry asked cautiously.

“No, we just, I ugh…. Never mind, I said don’t worry about it” I finished while taking dry clothes and going to the bathroom.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

I like her so much… and those kisses, especially the first one, just killed me, it was so much better than the dream and I didn’t think that was possible.

I’ve waited my whole life to find a girl that could make me feel like this and now that I found her, I can’t have her, and it’s not because she doesn’t want me.

Could it get any worse than that? I asked myself.

Little did I know that the answer to that question was ‘yes, it can get worse’.

Liz’s POV

“I knew it! Even though you never told me (which I’m mad at you for) I knew you liked Niall” my best friend told me.
