Cooking Love (1D FF) [paused]

Chapter 12

"Wow.", is all I'm able to say. This totally gives me a whole new picture of him. So he doesn't even want to treat me like this. But there's still this one thing...

"The night at the club. Liam wasn't there, just Harry and you. So why did you beat Nick, only because he flirted with me?", I want to know.

Niall sighs and looks up, straight into my eyes.

"We were drunk and... and...", he stutters.

"Yeah, I already know you were drunk.", I mumble and roll my eyes.

"Yeah but there's also another thing...", he mumbles.

"Ugh, then tell me the other thing, Niall!", I demand.

"I kinda.. I kinda like you."

What? What did he just say? He kinda likes me? Like in like-like or in love-like?

"What do you mean, you kinda like me?", I wonder.

"I.. I mean you seem like you're actually a really kind, sweet and nice person. I don't want to treat you like this but I have to. I'm so sorry..", he whispers on the edge of tears.

What the fuck?

Gosh, what's with all this swearing...

Ok, so he thinks I'm kind, sweet and nice. That doesn't immediately mean that he love-likes me, he just likes me; maybe as a friend. Or good friend. Wait no, not as a good friend. He's in a worldfamous boyband and I'm just a normal girl, I don't know if he would ever want such a girl as me as a good friend.

I sigh and amd about to say something as I hear someone yell.

"Niall, what takes you so long? Come back and leave it alone!" I think it was Louis yelling.

 Niall sighs deep and stands up from the sofa. "See ya in an hour or something.", he says and does something I never excepted him to do.

He. Hugs. Me.

I can smell his aftershave and let me tell you - it smells great.

"I'm sorry.", he whispers in my ear and hugs me even tighter.

"It's ok, as long as you're not that rude when the boys aren't around us.", I mumble.

Actually I think this whole situation is kinda awkward.....

"I promise.", he says, pulls away and smiles at me so I can see his white braceless teeth.

I smile back and turn the TV on as Niall walks out of the living room. 

 As soon as I'm alone I take a deep breath. That was so weird. So everything is kinda Liam's fault? 

Niall has always been the one I liked most, I though he is the sweetest and nicest one out of them. But I also though Liam, Louis, Harry and Zayn were nice - big mistake. Ok Louis, Harry and Zayn may not be that rude without Liam around them but still.

I look through the channels as I stop at one about stars.

I watch the channel until the girl spreads some news about One Direction.

"Girl seen with them... Name is Vanessa... Visits the boys every day... Was already seen with Harry and Niall at a club... Niall and Harry beat some guy there... blablabla. Ok, those were definitely not news, some other channels and magazines already spread those things. The only new thing they found out is about the fight between Niall and Harry, which brings memories back in my head. Nick...

~*~

"Hey big bro.", I say through the phone just as I get home from work. Niall acted like he never told me those things, he acted rude and disrespectfull. Yepp, I'm saying he acted rude. Remember what he told me? He doesn't want it but he has to. And I believe him, I already trust him a little. But just a little.

"Little sister! How was your day? Did the boys something rude?", he asks worried.

"Uhm.. actually they didn't do something rude or hurtful but..."

"But what?"

"Can we please meet up in twenty minutes at starbucks?"

"Sure, see you then."

I hang up and stand up from my bed where I was just sitting on. I grab some money and put some mascara on before I walk downstairs and into the kitchen.

My mum's still at work so I write her a letter that I'll be home later so that she won't be worried to death when she can't find her Vani.

 A few minutes later I can find myself sitting in the starbucks, waiting for my brother I know for one day now.

 After a few minutes of waiting he shows up and sits down in front of me. A girl who's working at starbucks comes and we order some smoothies. A thing Luke and I also have in common: Loving smoothies.

"Tell me now. What happened?", Luke wants to know.

"Ok so... Cindy, you know, my best friend, and I though of a plan. And our plan was that I make the food I cook for the boys really disgusting and bad so they don't wanna have me as their cook anymore and fire me. But actually... That didn't work. Ok they though it was disgusting but Niall was nicer than normally and said that it wasn't even that bad.

We kinda put on a fight and they also asked me about the boy from the mall, who happens to be you, because they saw me talking to you and they think that they own me so they already beat a guy who flirted with me once.

Eventually, Niall said I could watch TV until I had to cook their dinner so he lead me into the living room, but before he went back to the boys he talked to me.

He explained that... that Liam forces them to treat me like this because he doesn't want anyone out of them to fall in love with me, especially not Harry and Niall. But Niall said that he wanted to be nice, when the boys aren't around us he's able to be nice. When they're around us, he has to treat me like they do.", I explain.

"Wow, I don't really know Liam but I did never except him to be like this. But... Why exactly doesn't he want one out of them to fall in love with you?", Luke wonders.

...Why didn't I ask Niall? Why didn't I want to know the reason? Did I forget it? I mean, every normal person would have asked that but... I'm not a normal person. I'm a wizard.

Ok no forget that, I'm just messing around. I think I was just a little stupid so I didn't think of the reason why Liam doesn't want them to fall for me. Because it's not even like anybody ever really fell in love with me.

"I have no idea, actually.", I sigh and sigh.

"But.. that actually wasn't all Niall said.", I explain, not really sure if I should really tell me brother.

"What did he tell you?", Luke asks. Should I tell him? One the one hand, I only know him for about.. one day? But on the other hand, he's my brother. And we really have to catch up some things so why don't tell him?

"He said he thinks I'm a sweet, nice and kind girl. When boys say that... Does it mean that they like-like the girl or love-like it?"

"In which way did he say it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did he smile, did his eyes lighten up, did he blush a bit?"

"Actually... all three."

"Then he love-likes you."
