Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 28

"I love you, Liam" I smiled. I intertwined our hands together as we walked down the hill.

"I love you too" Liam finally says. I felt my heart bursting with happiness. Liam finally said those 4 magical words that I've been waiting for him to say in such a long time. I can’t even describe what I’m feeling right now. I feel so happy and I feel like this is the happiest I’ve been in years.

"Really?" I asked just to make sure.

“Yes” Liam chuckled. He tugged my arm a little so that my body was pressed against his while we were walking back down the hill.

We continued walking in silence and I was satisfied with that because at least I get to hold Liam’s hand and he actually proved to me that he likes me—no wait—loves me.

He loves me.

I smiled at that thought. I looked back at Liam and he’s smiling as well while looking straight ahead. “Why are you smiling?” I asked.

He looked at me and his eyes widened in surprised. He then blushed and I realized that maybe he wasn’t aware that he was smiling. And that makes him so much more adorable.

“I’m just glad that I finally told you what I really feel. And that I was able to show you. I’ve been keeping it in my chest for a while and when I told you, it’s like an anchor has been lifted from my shoulders” Liam said. I smiled at him and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before pulling away hesitantly.

We saw Paul waiting for us inside the car and from the looks of it, he was getting slightly impatient.

“What took you so long?” he scowled as we climbed in the car.

“Sorry. I didn’t know confessions had to take 5 minutes” Liam snapped playfully and I blushed.

“I thought you already confessed in Italy? Louis told me so” Paul said as he began driving. Oh so Louis has been telling Paul stuff, no wonder he knows so much.

“Yeah but I confessed again. And asked him out” Liam blushed.

Paul hit the brakes and the car stopped in one quick motion that Liam and I fell forward.

“PAUL!” Liam shouted as we settled back into our seats and this time, I made sure that I put a seatbelt on.

“You did what?”

“I asked him out. I asked him to be my boyfriend” Liam said.

“Liam” Paul groaned. “I thought you were the most sensible one”

“What’s wrong with being Liam’s boyfriend?” I bit my lip. Paul’s tone made my happy mood disappear and he must have noticed it because he frowned.

“No. Nothing’s wrong with it. I just thought that maybe the both of you aren’t ready to be in a relationship especially when half of the world is watching you. Not to mention management. Look at Louis and Harry, they tried to commit in a relationship but modest set Louis up with a girlfriend to stop them” Paul said.

“What if we don’t tell modest?” I said.

“They’re gonna find out about it soon enough though” Liam said as he bit his lip nervously. He was looking at his feet and my heart sunk because it hasn’t even been a day yet Liam already regrets being with me.

Paul sensed my sadness and he tried to reassure the both of us. “But maybe if you hide for a while and then tell management, they’ll allow you to be together in secret”

“Together in secret” I quite don’t like the sound of that.

“Okay then. We’ll date in secret and after a week or two, we’ll tell management and when they see how good we are in hiding our relationship, they’ll allow us to go on” Liam smiled at me.
