This Love (Niall fanfiction)

chapter 14

Cleo's P.O.V -

"I wasn't planning on telling you about it." I say, eating another bite of my pancake. My entire body froze whenever I realized he was massaging my tattoo.

"Why not?"

"Because it's none of your business. That's why." I replied calmly before getting off of the sofa. I hear Niall's footsteps behind me which are making me want to move faster. I don't understand why he's worried about what's on my body. I began to walk towards the front door, planning to just walk to my house. I have no idea how to get there though.

I open the door and as soon as I see a stripe of sunshine merge through the doorway, it disappears due to Niall's hand reaching above me to slam the door shut.

"Just tell me," He tone sounds like he doesn't know what the big deal about my tattoo.

"Move." I say sternly.

"Why won't you just tell me?" Niall's voice had become unnecessarily loud which frustrated me.

"Why the fuck do you care so much? It's my tattoo." I yell back at him. Niall quickly decreases the space between us. I'm eye level a little below his shoulder, so I have to look up at him. Our chests are now touching and his breathing increases.

I push him backwards against the door harshly, hoping that he'd stumble a little but he doesn't. I back away slowly once I see his fists ball up at his sides. Him doing this terrifies me because it brings me back to my childhood. "Just mind your business." I roll my eyes.

"You are my business." He squints.

I turn around and head quickly for the flight of stairs. He's hot on my heels chasing me. I find the first room on the left and slam the door shut just in time.

I was almost positive Niall could've caught me if he wanted to. I sit there and ponder on my own confused thoughts. I'm confusing myself by over thinking everything. I realize I never turned on the light in the room that I was in.

Once I turned it on I see pictures of Niall and a little girl sitting on the desks, dressers, nightstands.. everything. 

I go closer to get a better look at the photo. They were at a beach. The girl looked around the age of 9 and had dark brown wavy hair that was wet. Niall had her on his back and she was kissing him on the cheek and Niall was doing a 'thumbs up' pose.

The next photo next to it was the little girl again siting on Niall's lap. She had a popsicle in her hands and she was letting Niall take a bite out of it.

The door opens up and I quickly spin around and see Niall smirking with keys spinning around on his finger. His smirk drops instantly once he realized what I was looking at.

I hear the keys drop to the ground and his eyes start to water a little, he looks down at the ground.

"Who is the little girl?" I gesture to the photos around the room.

"That's my little sister." He looked up and showed a weak smile.
