Nobody Compares

Chapter 40- Always and Forever

Please read the authors note at the end. Thank you. -M

"Right this way," the waiter said, guiding us. I was looking around the restaurant, mainly at the hundreds of fancy dressed guests starring at me and Niall, probably thinking 'Oh there's a whore with someone handsome! You hardly see thay.' 

I knew everyone thought I was a whore, and I knew so. I was so busy looking at the hundreds of people starring at me I didn't notice Niall take my hand in his. We wizzed between tables, Niall dragging me. The whole restaurant seemed to be quiet and starring at me. I had to be deaf. It was so quiet if someone coughed a mile away you could hear it as if they just came and put their mouth on your ear and coughed loudly. Everyone's eyes were on me and Niall, but he didn't care. Was it because how we dressed? No, Niall looked handsome. 

I felt a blush rize to me cheeks. I still had Niall's hand and it seemed like the restaurant was never ending. Finally a view of Maura, Bobby, Greg, and a girl with blonde hair was in view. I skipped so it wasn't like Niall was dragging me. I had my shoulder pressed to his, as he walked with our hands locked together. When we got to the table there was three pitchers of ice water, and I was parched. Niall pulled the chair out for me, as I took a seat. He took seat next to me, our hands meeting again. He put our locked hands on the white clothes table. Soon all the conversations continued, and I smiled. 

"How lovely you look Piper, how have you been?" Maura peered over the table to me and her son. Niall sat by Greg, while Greg sat by the pretty blonde girl, the mysterious girl sitting by Bobby, and then it was Maura, who sat closest to me, but there was still a big distance.

"Why, thank you Maura, you look very lovely yourself. I've been good, how about you?" I smiled, and cocked my head to the side. I thought I heard the blonde girl scoff, but I didn't see her do anything.

"Good, good. Anyway this is Holly. Niall, you know Holly." Niall forcefully smiled and nodded. 

"Piper, this is Holly. Holly, this is Piper, my girlfriend." Niall put a big emphasis on 'girlfriend' and she fakely smiled. Her face was caked with so much makeup the coverup and blush made lines in her cheeks when she smiled. I never put that much makeup on.

"Hi, like he said, I'm Piper." I innocently smiled. I always told myself if you were nice to people before you instantly judged them you could get a lot farther in life. Kindness was the first word in my dictionary.

"Uh, hi? I'm Greg's girlfriend." Niall chuckled to himself a bit, and I couldn't help but feel slightly left out. It seemed they all had this little joke but I wasn't invited for it. 

"Here are your menu's.." The waitor that took me and Niall to our seats came back and handed us menus. As he walked away I realized there were only 5 menus, but 6 of us. I gave mine to Holly, and read Niall's. 

"Wanna order from the couple's menu?" There was a whole side of the menu dedicated to couples. "How about this?" It was a 3 course dinner, started with soup, then pasta plates for us each, then a dessert.

"It sounds wonderful, Niall." I looked into his eyes, and saw something in his eyes. Something that almost lit the room up. If the hotel turned off every light, Niall could walk around and light the whole hotel by himself. "I really love you," I said putting my hand on the side of his face, right on his cheek. His cheek was warm, and sort of bumpy, but you couldn't tell. [A/N I don't mean acne, I mean ... ugh you know when you put like coverup and stuff on and then yeah. Haha, I mean he has photoshoots, and as much as I hate to think of it, he has to wear makeup. He's perfect enough without makeup, *sigh*tear*cry*tear*sigh*] "With all my heart." I pulled the boy into a warm hug, and kissed his cheek pulling away. 

"I love you too, princess." He didn't care his parents were watching, he just lip kissed me right there. Suddenly the food was placed in front of us both only, 2 bowls of minestrone soup. 

***After the dinner***

I pressed the yellow 'Floor 19' on the panel of the elevator, as Niall hurried in. "So Ni," I began, hoping my question wasn't too personal. "Who's Holly? Your mum did say you knew her." 

He leaned on the back of the elevator, and starred at the floor. "She was my girlfriend before the X-Factor." I raised my eyebrows at the boy. "I broke up with her right before I went ... but I told everyone, the fans, the press, the paparazzi it was because I wanted to focus on my career. Even the boys don't know the real reason. Not even my parents. Only I, my brother, and she knows why we broke up. She cheated on me. With my brother. In front of me." 

"Niall, I'm really sorry," I held his forearm, rubbing it. 

"There isn't a reason to be." He sadly smiled. "If she was to cheat on me, then I shouldn't be with her."

"She doesn't deserve you, babe." We began to walk off the elevator and onto our floor, and got into our room. I flopped on the bed, and took my heels off. I looked out the window, seeing how dark it was. It was winter, so days were shorter. I looked down and saw a thousand One Direction fans crowding my hotel. "Niall, look here." He had his phone out, and he was in just his boxers so I pulled the curtain over his body. He glanced down and shrugged.

"Thats sweet." He clicked Twitter and thanked everyone for doing that. Then he tagged 'My little duck @PiperClark'. I looked at him from where I was and did the duck face. He walked over, taking my head in his hands and kissed me passionatley.
