Chapter Five

Chapter Five: Don't Say Cheese

　

(Niall's P.O.V.)

I finally had my princess. And her name was Isabella, or Izz or Belle, Pearson. And she was beautiful in the best way. She was real. She was natural. And she had been a fan, just like I had always promised. So in a way, she was going to represent all the girls that wanted me. They would just have to understand that there could only be one. Belle.

I just couldn't stop smiling. She was mine. I had her. I found my girl. I was going crazy. I called her the next day like I had told her I would. We talked about the date and how fun we both had, we talked about future plans, and we talked about random things. But I did need to actually talk about something important.

She was laughing really hard at something we were discussing when Liam came in and looked at me with that expression on his face. I had to end the careless conversation.

"So Belle, there is something we really do need to talk about."

She kept giggling and asked me what it was. I loved how innocent she was.

"Well I don't know if you want me to admit we're together or not... Ya' know, to the world."

"Oh," she said. She didn't really say anything to follow that.

"Yeah I mean, management wants us to figure it out so they can tell me what to do."

"Aw well I don't mind either way. Whatever you want to do. Just don't lie to the fans."

Just don't lie to the fans? Was that all she cared about? She could get hurt. They would send her so much hate if they found out. But they would have to know eventually. And then they'd send hate and be more mad they didn't know sooner. They'd be mad at me for lying.

"Would you mind if I told them?"

"Niall, they're your fans. I know that if it wasn't me, as a Niall girl, I would want you to be honest."

"And you can handle the hate?"

"I think they'll be a little more understanding since I'm not some famous person."

"Okay. I'll tell management. We have an interview today so they'll probably have me fess up then."

"Sounds good to me. Hey, I got to go cause Jack and Vi are waking up. I'm gonna have to feed them."

"Ah I want you to feed me."

"Then you'll have to come visit!" she said with a laugh. I smiled. I would go out to see her even if there wasn't any food. Wow, I was really falling.

"Okay. Text me, bye princess."

"Bye Nialler!"

She hung up and then I had to face the boys who were now all sitting in the room staring at me. I hadn't even noticed them come in.

"So we're telling people?" Harry asked.

"Yes."

"It's official. This is really happening," Zayn muttered.

"Our little Nialler has a girlfriend!" Liam smiled with a distant look in his eyes. Louis was just grinning ear to ear,

"Congratulations mate!" he cheered. Liam Harry and Zayn exchanged looks.

"Seriously, what is up with you guys?" I asked.

"We're just processing that this is real," Harry quickly responded.

"It became real last night. I told you all. She's the one." I started smiling again. I then left the room because I knew there was more to this, but they clearly didn't want to tell me right now. And I was in too good of a mood for anything to bring me down.
