Tell Me A Lie (Niall Horan / One Direction Fan Fic)

Chapter 7

As me and Zayn walked out of the bedroom, i could feel tension hanging in the air. After what's just happened, i know something bad is going to come to me. Zayn walked into the kitchen and went back onto his phone, Harry and Louis were sitting on the sofa, Liam was finishing clearing up and Niall was in the bathroom, so i decided to sit on the sofa and wait for him to come out.

"You can go in there if you like gal, he's only fixing his hair.. surprise surprise.." Louis winked at me. I giggled and stood up to walk towards the bathroom. I knocked on the door just to make sure it was okay for me to go in, and Niall opened the door. As he opened it i walked in carefully, watching his facial expressions to see if he was suspicious about what happened in the bedroom with me and Zayn...

"You okay babe?" I asked him. He just nodded and starting putting his hair supplies back in the cupboard, i couldn't help but laugh at the amount of supplies that were in that cupboard.. these boys really go to hard work to look good! I walked up closer to him and put my arm around his back, faced towards him and gazed at his eyes. I fixed a little bit of his hair at the front carefully with my fingertips, he gave me a small smile, not like he usually does. "Look," i said, "I know that ever since that game of spin the bottle the other night that something wasn't right with you," He stepped back and rested his arm on the side of the counter, he wasn't looking at me. "And, i know that you're worried something is going on between me and Zayn, right?" He looked up at me with worrying eyes.

"It's just that i really like you Olivia, and i'm worried you're going to fall for Zayn," he said rubbing his neck. I looked to the ground, feeling guilt rise up inside of me. I was thinking about Zayn and the words he said, that he 'really liked me' and 'couldn't stop thinking about me'... I still couldn't get over the fact that i was in this dilema... Zayn and Niall... how the heck did this happen?!

"Niall, i'm not falling for Zayn.." I said, stepping closer towards him. "It was just a stupid game and nothing else, i promise," i wrapped my arms around him, my head leaning against his chest. He put his arm around me, stoking my hair. 

"Well, thank god for that!" He laughed a little and i smiled, his hand rose up and lightly touched my chin and i could feel it tickle. He carefully lifted my head up, allowing our eyes to meet. He instantly moved his head forward so our lips crashed against eachother, creating explosions in my tummy. His hands wrapped around my waist and i grabbed his shirt, clenching it in my fists as i was kissing him. He kissed me back deeper and i was pulling his shirt even more, my other hand at the back of his head, pulling him closer to me. He hept me locked in his embrace, making me feel safe and protected... like i felt when Zayn was kissing me. I tried my best to push Zayn out of my head and keep this moment, with me and Niall. I didn't want thoughts of Zayn rushing through my head, i didn't want to fall for him, and most of all i didn't want to hurt Niall.

Me and Niall went back into the living room and sat on the sofa next to eachother. The rest of the boys were playing some football game on their PlayStation, and Niall was watching, supporting Liam of course. I sat back and watched the excitement on their faces and smiled at them jumping up and down in their seats. As i layed back on the sofa, i was thinking to myself about the whole event of tonight...

Firstly, it was wrong to kiss Zayn in the first place, but then i realised that i lied to Niall about nothing else happening between us. I should have just been straight with him and told him what happened, but i didn't want us two to fall out and more importantly, the boys to fall out over it. That's the last thing i wanted, everyone to be unhappy because of me and my stupid actions. Also, kissing Zayn and then kissing Niall.. Not only does it make me sound like a bit of a slut, but imagine if he found out that just before i kissed him i was kissing his best friend.. oh great.. more problems on my hands now. I bet he would hate the fact that he was kissing the lips that were kissing his friends moments earlier...

"YESSS!" Liam shouted as he scored on the game. Niall jumped up and gave him a hug and they both started jumping around the room. Wow, amazing how much a game can bring so much happiness into one man's life, seriously...

As i was laughing at them, i saw Zayn watching me. I looked over to him and gave him a friendly smile, he smiled back and looked at his feet, running his hand through his hair. When Niall sat back down he put his arm around my shoulder and i put my arm over his chest, holding him closer. I got the feeling that Zayn was a little jelous, but he just pulled out his phone and started texting. 

"Who d'you keep texting on that phone?" Niall asked, look at him curiously. Zayn quickly locked his phone and slid it back into his pocket.

"Just my mate," 

"Which mate?" Niall sounded really nosy, and i was a little suspicious on who he kept on talking to on the phone, too. Zayn just fell back onto the sofa trying to hide himself in the corner.

"This girl i met last weekend, i accidentaly bumped into her and spilt my drink over her shirt, i said that i'd take her out for a milkshake in return," Niall raised his eyebrows and gave him a little smirk. Zayn just smiled and shook his head. 

"Did you see anything? Did the shirt go see-through?" Harry said, a smile spread across his face. I started laughing at him and said how cheeky he was. He laughed, but i think he was being serious about the question.

"So, who's this girl then?" Liam asked. Louis sat up, taking interest in the conversation.

"Yeah," Louis said. "Who is she?"

"Her name's Paige," Zayn said, playing with the bottom of his shirt. I couldn't believe this. After all that's happened tonight and the past few days, he's been talking to another girl? Why is he causing problems for me worrying about Niall and what's going to happen when he has someone else he could be saying all the same things to, like 'I haven't stopped thinking about you' and all that. I must admit, when he was talking about this 'Paige' girl, i could feel anger raising in my stomach.

Unless, he was lying about her and trying to make me jelous...
