A little bit of fun (Ziall)

Chapter 11

"Uncle Nick" I gasped. I quickly pulled away from Zayn and stood up.  Nick Grimshaw was one of my dad's closest friends even though he was a good 10 years younger than my dad. "I can explain" I stuttered even though I know I couldn't.

"Then go on" Nick challenged.

I sighed in defeat. "Okay, I can't. I'm dating Zayn--"

"A devil"

I hung my head low. 'Yeah, a devil"

"We need to talk. Outside" Nick said. I gave an apologetic look to Zayn before climbing on top of his lap to get out of our chair and following Nick outside of the restaurant, out of sight from the other 3. 

As soon as he was sure no one familiar could see us, he gave me a scrutinizing look which did not suit him at all. Even though he was dad's closest friend, he was one of those laid back angels just like Harry. You could actually see the both of them hanging out sometimes despite the age gap. So seeing that look from him sent dread coursing through my veins.

I was already expecting an hour long sermon or maybe some sort of threat that he's gonna tell my dad, but what I did not expect was for him to place a hand on my shoulder and shake me slightly. "Didn't know you had it in ya' little man"

"What?" I asked.

Nick grinned even wider. "I've always thought you were gonna end up like Bobby, you know, so uptight, not a single smile in sight. I was glad when you and Harry met and now you're dating a devil"

Nick was about to pull me into a hug but I pushed him away. I was still pretty confused. "You're not mad?"

"Why would I be? Even I haven't messed around with a devil yet, I've got to hand it to ya" Nick winked. "All I've managed to make someone like me, and that lil angel went off with someone else after a week" 

"Who?" I asked.

Nick's eyes trailed from my face towards the inside of the restaurant. My jaw dropped in realization.

"You and Harry...?" I trailed off. Nick just nodded and sighed sadly.

"I honestly thought we were gonna be something, but then he started going out with that devil" Nick looked at the ground before looking back up at me with a serious expression. "I know that you know I'm okay with this, but you need to know the consequences"

I bit my lip. "I know"

"You can get caught and sent to jail, or worse, get killed" Nick said and I nodded. "Not to mention Bobby..."

"Yeah I know" I sighed. 

"You have to tell him some time" Nick said.

"Are you crazy?" I exclaimed. "He's gonna disown me! No one hates devils more than my dad"

"But no one loves you more than he does, even though he has an odd way of showing it. He deserves to know, Niall" Nick said.

I just forced a smile and said, "Yeah, I'll tell him. Soon"

"Alright, no go back in there and remember to keep the PDA to a minimum" Nick joked and I just laughed along with him.

I waved goodbye to Nick before walking back into the restaurant where Louis and Harry were chatting casually amongst each other and Zayn was waiting for me nervously.

"Who is he?" Zayn asked as I crawled over his lap again to go to my seat.

"One of dad's friends" I shrugged and rubbed his arm soothingly when I felt him tense up. "Don't worry, he's okay with it. He's a cool angel"
