Live For The Moment

Chapter 20: Not Such a Good Idea

JESS'S P.O.V

I arrived at school on Monday morning, early again as usual. I walked into music class, where Lily was sat in the far corner. She smiled up at me as I sat down.

"Looks like someone had a fun weekend," she smiled.

"What?"

She passed me her phone. She was on the 'BUZZ' website, her and I's favourite celebrity gossip magazine. I gasped when I saw the pictures. It was Niall and I. We went for a walk down the River Thames yesterday.

--FLASHBACK--

Niall grabbed my hand as I climbed out of his Mercedes, intwining his fingers with mine. All through this weekend, I had been trying to hold off massive fan girl attacks. I was holding hands with Niall Horan!

"Why aren't you wearing your disguise?" I asked as we walked along the edge of the river.

"Because the wig is really itchy. I have my sunglasses on anyway, so it shouldn't be too obvious."

I nodded and we continued walking, just enjoying each others company. It was 8pm, so there weren't many people around. I looked up at him, deciding to finally take in all his characteristics. His deep blue eyes were hidden by his ray bans, his small, pink lips tinted under the now setting sun light. His cheeks were slightly red from the light, but that made him look even cuter.

"I know you're looking at me," he chuckled.

"Sorry," I said, snapping my head away.

"No, it's fine. I like it."

He held my chin and tilted it so I was looking at him. I saw him take a deep, nervous breath.

"Jess, I've been wanting to do this since the day I met you. Would you make me the happiest guy on the planet, and be my girlfriend?"

I looked at him, shocked. I'd always imagined the day Niall Horan would asked me this question, but in reality it was actually really scary. This was what I wanted though. I nodded.

"I would love to."

Niall smiled his cheeky grin before holding my cheeks and slamming his lips down onto mine. I wrapped my arms his neck. I love him.

--END OF FLASHBACK--

I stared down at the images. It wasn't just us holding hands, it was us kissing. Niall had said he wanted to keep our relationship a secret for a while, to protect me. I understood why they hated the press so much now.

"I told you he liked you!" Lily said.

She thought this was all a joke. I shook my head.

"This wasn't meant to happen," I whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Niall, didn't want anyone to know. He wanted to keep it a secret. This is all such a-"

I was cut off mid-sentence when Isabelle walked in, a smug and jealous grin plastered across her face. Her and her gang walked over to us. She placed a copy of 'HEAT' magazine down in front of me, not saying a word. I looked at it. It was Niall and I, kissing again on the front cover.

"What do we have here?" she smirked.

"I don't know. I didn't realise Niall was dating," I said, the best excuse I could think of.

"Save the act Jess. This picture clear as hell shows you. It even has your name in the main story."

I gasped and opened the magazine. There it was. Jess Hamilton. 'Flight 193 Lucky Girl gets Lucky Once Again' the title read. Oh my god. What if Niall sees this? And how did they know it was me?
