Torn - A One Direction Series

07. Hypocritical Lies

Arianna's POV

I stared into Niall's sea green eyes, the silence ate us both up. "S-sorry." Niall stuttered, turning away. I blushed a light shade of red but continued to look at him.

"Its fine." I responded. Truthfully, and I wanted to admit this, I enjoyed the kiss and I wished it had lasted longer because I was dying for the taste of his lips. I, before even thinking, grabbed both of his cheeks, staring into his deep eyes once again.

I connected my lips with his once more. This one lasted much longer. His lips were soft and inviting.. I wanted more.. "Wait, Arianna." Niall said and pulled away from my lips. I felt so sad I wasn't kissing him. "Lets talk about this.. I've been thinking about it for a while now.." He started.

"Yeah, I'm listening." I replied, smiling to calm him down. He took a deep breath and started again. 

"Ariana I..I really like you.. Like like you... A lot... I think I love you I mean, when I saw you in the classroom that first day you looked like an angel.. A gift brought from heaven.. You were stunning.. And it wasn't just the looks, but, when I talked to you I fell even deeper. Your hilarious and athletic, just so fun to talk to. I think your beautiful, funny, brave, the most amazing girl and I'd love to call you mine. Will you.. Be my girlfriend?"

Seeing those words come out of his mouth made me a huge train wreck. I was so happy.. I could only feel happiness. "Yes Niall, I'd love to be your girlfriend." I smiled and pecked his lips. 

"Are you sure you want to do this, though? I mean relationships are serious and I don't know if you'd wanna go public, I'm just me and you're really hot and people would talk and look at us.." Niall stopped me. 

"Ariana, I'm going to treat you like a queen. Your my baby, my princess. I don't care what other people think or have to say about it. Your beautiful and I get to call you mine. I wanna share that with the world." He finished and looked me in the eyes. His eyes trailed to my lips and we kissed once more. 

"Oh Niall, I love you." I muffled through the kiss.

"I love you too," he said. Then the kiss got heated. His tongue licked my bottom lip and I opened my mouth to let him in. His tongue explored my mouth, and I fought him with mine. We were fighting for dominance; he laid back, and I fell on top of him not breaking the kiss.

The door slammed shut just as things got good. Me and Niall's heads snapped in the direction of the sound and my eyes widened. Lauryn. Lauryn was standing there, a pissed off look on her face as she glared at us both. "Funny, huh?" she chuckled and I sent her a confused look. "You catch me kissing Harry and you get mad, then you come over here and try to snog my brother? How hypocritical."

"Lau, it isn't what you think." I said, standing up. She laughed slightly.

"Haven't you noticed? I was the one saying that, but you wouldn't listen to me, would you? No. So why should I listen to you? Give me one reason." Lauryn mumbled angrily.

"I li-"

"Ah, time's up." Lauryn snapped, turning to the door. "Oh, and before I go, have fun... slut." Lauryn grinned. Her words hit me like a dagger. Niall stood up and went to yell at her, but before a word could leave his mouth, Lauryn was gone. How could she say such a thing when I was the one who was there for her? Did I call her a slut? No! So how come I'm a slut?

"Sorry, Arianna. I - I don't know what's come over her lately. She's changed her clothing style, her attitude and she's stressing mom out. "She's also been skipping school lately and I'm really worried about her, Arianna. But if she does anything to you, come to me. You can always come to me. Lauryn really wanted to get into a good college but now, I don't think she stands a chance." Niall sighed, sitting down.
