A.M. (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter Thirty Two

Darcy's P.O.V.

Why is Niall acting like that in front of Louis? I know he don't like the idea of me and Louis being close together but why he is he acting so touchy with me in front of Lou.

I sighed. He thinks there is something going on between Louis and me. I will not blame him after how he saw us. Well, there is nothing going on between us but he doesn't know that. Whenever he brings up the topic about Louis and me, I just ignore it and tell him that I don't wanna talk about it and stuff. Its just that I myself don't know how he is feeling towards me. I don't think I have any feelings towards him but just as a friend.

But why did I almost allow him to kiss me that day?

It was so stupid of me, I know. But why would he lean down to kiss me?

Maybe it was in the moment. It just sorta happened. We both were not thinking straight. At least, not me.

Niall paused suddenly, when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He removed his hands from where he kept it wrapped around me and took his phone out from his back pocket. He saw the caller id and tensed slightly.

"Who is it?" I asked trying to look at his phone screen.

"I have to attend this call. You go on inside. I'll be there in a minute," he said.

I nodded, frowning slightly. Lou and I walked inside with a considerable distance between us. Well, he is acting kinda weird. He sure showed his sassiness in the text. Now, I know that Louis. I need to ask him about the we almost kissed incident. I want to know whether it was in the moment or did he do it on purpose but I personally hope that it was in the moment.

Liam and Harry were on the couch arm wrestling. Liam was scowling, trying to push Harry's hand to the opposite side, but failing miserably. Harry laughed, pushing his hand against Liam who was trying his best to push Harry's hand back. However, Harry won at last. He held his hand up in victory and snapped his fingers in front of Liam, calling him a loser. Liam ignored him as he noticed me laughing at both of them. He laughed as he came over and wrapped his arms around me in a warm hug. His slightly wet hair indicating that he has just showered. I returned the hug by hugging him back. We pulled back.

"How ya doing? Seems like you talked to him. What did he say?" Liam questioned me concerned.

What do I say?

Your big-hearted kind sweet-hearted management does not want Niall to be spotted in public with me.

I shook my head slightly and smiled at him. "I think it's better if you ask him" I sighed. He nodded his head understandingly. Harry grabbed the package from my hand.

"Hm, looks good" Harry smirked looking down at the cupcakes made by Niall and me. Just today morning I learned that Niall was a very good baker, unlike me. As much as I love to cook, I'm no expert. We used some cream and frosting to decorate it and it came out pretty well.

"It's great" said Liam taking a bite from a cupcake.

"Thank you," I giggled. I walked to over to the couch where Lou was sitting. I was going to sit beside him when Niall entered the hall. My bad. I smiled at him but he didn't return it. A weak smile danced on his lips as he walked over to me. I frowned.

"What's wrong?" I asked as he pulled me into a hug.

"I need to talk to you. Alone" he whispered softly in my ear.

"OK. First let me grab some of our cupcakes" I giggled and bent over the coffee table to snatch two cupcakes. Harry smacked my hand playfully.

"Hey, all mine" he said holding the box close to his chest.
