Being Niall Horan's Secret Girlfriend.

Calling him, He likes me and The Almost Kiss!!!

Lexi's P.O.V.

"Niall you're a complete idiot, get back over here!" I heard Zayn practically yell into the phone. Well he did yell considering he was in the hallway and I was in my room with the twins.

It had been a week since I had told Niall and he was a no show, he'd pick up his phone to everyone but me. They were just lucky they didn't have anything going on until January. It's December 23rd right now. None of us are going home for Christmas we're going to spend it together. Louis was on his way back from Doncaster. His family wanted to see him before he turned 22.

"Shh, shh it's okay." I murmured to James as he begun to cry whilst I rocked him gently. Right now it was only me and Zayn in the apartment everyone else was out getting Christmas things.

The door opened and Zayn walked in with the phone still pressed to his ear. He put his finger to his lips motioning for me to stay quiet, I nodded.

"So you don't want to speak to her?" Zayn asked. Niall mumbled a 'No' from the other end of the line.

"Okay." Zayn smirked and passed me the phone. I was panicked for a minuet but regained myself and passed James to Zayn.

"Zayn don't make me talk to her." Niall said not realizing I had the phone.

"Hi Niall." I spoke to him.

"Lex?" he asked confused.

"Niall please come back." I begged without telling him it was me, I reckon he'll figure it out. There was a silence from the end of the phone.

"Do you hate me?" he asked.

"Yes, but it's not about you and me it's about our kids." I told him. He sighed I could just picture him running his hand through his hair.

"I have to go." he told me, what a lie.

"Niall don't h-" to late. He had hung up on me. Zayn had managed to stop James from crying and layed him down in his cot. He came and sat next to me.

"Why do I keep chasing after him, he just keeps hurting me." I mumbled to Zayn, he sighed as I lay down properly on my bed. He lay down next to me.

"You're an amazing girl and he clearly just doesn't see what he's letting slip through his fingers." Zayn explained to me. I shuffled closer to him and lay my head on his chest as he slung his arm around me.

"Thanks." I said letting a smile slip onto my face.

"I'm just gonna go call Louis I'll be back in a minuet." he told me getting up. I sat up as he walked out of the room grabbing his mobile. Again I know it's wrong but I followed him. I sat at the top of the stairs as he was in the lounge.

"Louis?" 

"It's been ages and Niall hasn't tried anything to get her back and you advised me to leave it until my birthday." Zayn spoke. What was he talking about?

"Yeah, that was over a year ago." he replied. Louis must have been speaking as Zayn fell silent.

"I still like her though, you know I was going to ask her out when we first met but Niall beat me to it." Zayn sounded almost argumentative.

Wait! Zayn likes me? As in likes me likes me? I stood so quickly I almost fell down the stairs. Why hadn't he said anything to me about it?

"Okay, I have to go Lexi's waiting for me upstairs......... yeah bye." he hung up. He turned and walked to the bottom of the stairs and saw me.

"I was just um getting some um a drink." I stuttered out. What an amazing excuse. Zayn looked pretty dumbstruck himself he just nodded as I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. 

"Lexi did you hear anything?" Zayn asked entering the kitchen as I stared down at the sink unsure how to reply to that. I nodded slowly. I turned round to find him standing behind me. Close to me. I could feel his breath on my cheeks.

"Why didn't you say anything to me before?" I asked quietly.

"I didn't want to ruin this, our friendship. We're so close, I didn't want it to be awkward." he said equally as quiet as me. We fell silent I searched his face as his eyes scanned me. I eventually dropped my gaze to the floor.

"Can I ask you something?" Zayn spoke. I nodded bringing my eyes up to meet his.

"If I'd have asked you out, what would you have said?" he asked placing his hands either side of my waist leaning on the kitchen top bringing our bodies closer together.

"When would you have asked me?" I replied.

"I was planning on asking you but Niall beat me to it. I was going to ask you the night of your birthday but I saw you go outside and I knew it was Niall who asked you to meet him out there so I gave him his chance but then I saw you two weren't together so I planned to try and ask you out again." he explained.

"When would you have asked the second time?" I questioned again.

"The night you met Allie your little sister when we went out for that walk. You explained to me though about how you might just use Niall and then we got in that fight." he paused.

"I figured after that you'd never want to go out with me, I was to afraid to ask in fear of rejection and then Niall asked and....." he trailed off.

We still were extremely close his lips almost touching mine now. I could smell the tobacco on his breath but the mint mixed in with it trying to cover up that he smoked.

"Would you have said yes, if we hadn't of fallen out?" he asked me his voice going quieter again.

I didn't even have to think about the answer and that sounds terrible considering I've spent so long with Niall "I would've said yes." I whispered. Zayn leaned forward to connect our lips.

"Guys where are you?" I hear Jess yell. Zayn jumped back and I turned away filling my glass on the side with water.

"In here." Zayn replied his voice sounding strange because ,I'm just guessing here but because, he had almost kissed me.

He had almost kissed me.

I had almost kissed Zayn.

We had almost kissed. Oh. My. God.
