I Secretly Love You (Narry)

Chapter 20

Niall's POV

Harry got up and walked to the door. "I need to go do something." He said and opened it. "What are you gonna do?" I asked. "Do I have to tell you everything?" Harry chuckled and walked out the door, closing it behind him.

I layed down on the bed on my back, my legs dangling on the side with my hands on my belly. "Niall?"

I looked into the doorway, Liam was standing there. "Hey Li." I sighed and started staring back at the ceiling. Liam walked over and sat down next to me. "How you holding up?" I sighed. "I'm fine, just upset." 

He patted me on the belly. "It's okay to be upset, mate." I sniffled.

"How did she die?"

"What?"

"How did she die--my mom."

Liam sighed. "Well, she had caught the flu, she thought it was nothing so that's why she didn't tell you. She died a few days later, it turned out to be pneumonia." I sniffled again. "Oh, Niall, come here." He held his arms out for  me. I gladly took it and squeezed him tight. He rubbed my back. 

"Her funeral's tomorrow." He said quietly. "They want you to say a few words about her." 

I sniffled many times. "Of course." He brushed my cheek and smiled at me. I smiled slightly. I think I saw him lean forward. I pushed him back a little. "Liam, I-" He put a finger to my lips. "Please Niall, just let me kiss you once without you trying to push me away." He begged. I shook my head. "I'm sorry Liam but I just can't." "Niall please!"

I frowned. Why did Liam want to kiss me so badly? Can't he understand that I'm with Harry and only Harry? I bit the inside of the mouth. He looked at me with pleading eyes, I rolled mine. "Why?" "Why what?" "Why do you want to kiss me so badly?" I asked shaking my head and suinting my eyes.

"Because I love you and I want to be with you Niall!" He shouted. "Liam, I can't! I can't do that to Harry! Don't you understand that?" I shouted and got up and stomped to the door. "Niall, I'm not asking for sex. Just one little kiss, is that so hard?" He stormed over to me and pinned me in a corner.

I was breathing heavily. Why was Liam making me do this? Why was he like this? Can't he understand that I don't like him in a boyfriend way? That I don't want to be his? 

"Please, Niall." He sighed. I rolled my eyes. "If I do this will you stop bothering me about this crap? Will you understand that I only see you as a friend?" I screamed. Liam didn't say anything for a while. I stared into his hazel eyes. "Well?"

He sighed. "Fine. If you kiss me.....I'll stop bothering you." I bit my bottom lip. "Do you promise?" He sighed heavily. "I promise."

I looked at him, wondering if he was actually gonna keep this promise. "Okay." 

He backed me up more into the corner and put a strand of hair behind my ear. I placed my hand on the back of his head and scrunched up his hair. He put both of his arms on my waist. This felt awkward, I didn't like the thought of the guy I'm about to kiss not being Harry.

He leaned in closer and closer. I closed my eyes, trying to pretend it Harry. Our lips met and it felt unnatural. His lips were firm, not as soft as Harry's. And his hair, it felt weird not being long and curly like Harry's, too.  He tugged on my lip a bit. I pulled away slowly and our lips separated with a faint smack.

He looked at me and smiled. "Now was that so hard?" I sighed. Other than the obvious flaws like his lips and hair, it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't answer him. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction. I moved past him and opened the door. I was about to leave when I remembered something.
