I Would (Liam Payne/ 1D FanFic)

Chapter 21

Ohkay... what the hell is the second bar on here for???? :O

Chapter 21

Soon, I find myself, for the very first time, at the famous Nandos. The boys are greeted with a certain familiarity that shows you that they come here often. We are shown to our table and instantly start chattering about the tour. Conversation from there goes to (I'm not exactly sure how though) The Bachelorette and how sad it was about Brooks and Desiree.

"Hey Della, you'd be a good bachelorette," Zayn suddenly says. I can't help but notice that Liam tenses up a little from beside me.

Um, what is that about? Whatever, we're just friends. It's not like there's anything going on.

I try to release the thoughts of Liam's posture out of my mind and just focus on the conversation at hand. Giggling, I reply. "Thanks, well I guess. But I don't need to be on The Bachelorette, I already have a boyfriend." Hearing this, everyone goes quiet with the exception of Zayns sharp intake of breath. "What? You guys didn' tknow that?"

"Actually no, we didn't." Liam's face is so grim, that it twists my heart.

Only because I didn't tell him something this important, right? Because he only think of us as friends, good friends, like I do. Right?

Harry clears his throat. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go switch waitesses, because Niall's been staring at her all  night." I begin chuckling, then look over to where Harry had pointed. There, I see a girl with long, black hair and fair skin that has the slightest hint of a tan. She brushes some of her hair behind her right ear, revealing a cartilage piercing as well as a regular one. As I'm watching her, I see Harry come into view. He and the girl exchange a few words before she looks over at our table with a blush. She nods, and then Harry walks back to our table. All the lads pat him on the back, laugh, and uch. I just stare at him in disbelief.

"Harry, please tell me that you didn't actually switch waitresses," Niall says with a horrified expression. The conversation from before now behind us.

"I would, but then I'd be lying," he replies with a mischievious grin. Just then, our new waitress starts heading our way. Niall looks around frantically, then begins gulping down his water just as she reaches our table.

"Um, hi. I'm Kat and I'llbe your, uh, new waitress today. What can I get for you all to drink?" She looks around the table, but none of us answer her question.

"Kat, huh?" Zayn asks nonchalantly. Kat nods slowly. "Is that short for something?"

"Well, my real name is Katherine." She replies, confused by what's going on.

"That's a beautiful name." Liam tells her earnestly. Kat opens her mouth to say something, probably thank Liam for the compliment, but I cut her off before an audibe peep can come out of her mouth.

"I'll have Dr. Pepper please." Kat switches from looking at Liam to me, surprised.

Geez Della! Sound clingy much? But he never told me that my name is beautiful...

"Oh, well of course." Kat replies, quickly jotting something down on her little notepad. "As for the rest of you?" The lads go around the table announcing what they would like. When it comes to Niall's turn he just looks down at the table, blushing even more than before (well, if that's even possible). Kat raises her eyebrows. "Uh, Niall?" Hearing his name, Niall's head snaps up. "Would you like anything?"

Well, she's clearly a fan.

"Oh, he'd just like another glass of water please," Zayn answers for him, chuckling.
