Claire's Café

Niall

as I wait for liam to meet up with me, since he was handling some business with a teacher, I decide to look through the menu since I have no clue what kind of Coffee they serve, but I know that its a lot of different types.

I look through it slowly and carefully, smiling at certain flavors, but groaning at some of the other ones because they would honestly taste gross. they aren't even worth mentioning because they're that gross.

but actually, one of them is called meat w/ a hint of sweets, so that's a pretty sweet name. people with great stomachs could probably handle it, but definitely not me because I can't handle a lot of things.

I set the menu down with a sigh, impatiently tapping my foot against the concrete as the tables are mostly outside, placed in a adorable matter. I click my phone on and see that its nearly four, making me sigh again.

I click my phone off before hearing someone groan behind me, making me turn around to see that its none other then liam. "sorry I'm late, niall.. had to discuss some business." I chuckle at his messed up hair as he sits down in front of me.

"yeah some sëx," I say before he quickly shakes his head. "I wasn't fücking anyone, niall.. I was just really pissed off and tugged at my hair," he said with a tone of honesty, making me nod firmly. "alright." he smiles gently before a waiter comes up to our table.

"what would you like today, gentlemen," he asks as he puts the pen to the notepad that he's carrying. "I'd like some coffee, sugar, cream, with some marshmallows. yes marshmallows." liam frowns. "they do that?" the waiter nods. "yes. you'd like?" he gestures to liam before he smiles.

"I'd like the same thing, actually." his words make me smile again before the waiter nods. "good. I'll be back with your orders." he then walks off, making thee atmosphere feel weird. "so uhm, liam.." I start to say, making the man in front of me look up with a raised eyebrow.

"what's up," he asked softly, biting his lower lip afterward. "can we get to knowing each other. I'm really curious." he laughs gently. "of course, niall.. I shall begin, then?" I nod before he takes a drink of water.

this is going to take a long while, I presume..

"you are a crazy man, Mr.Payne," I say with a laugh so loud that the birds near us fly off, making us both laugh more. "I know I know, niall.. but you, oh you are truly a saint! nothing crazy with you." I smile and take a breather from laughter. "I know. I'm boring." he smirks.

"you're definitely not boring, Horan." a blush forms on my cheeks, making his smirk grow. "am I making you happy, niall?" I bite my lip before nodding slowly. "you actually are.." he now smiles. "good. you deserve to smile because your smile is beautiful." my blush intensifies.

"cheesy.." I mumble before he chuckles. "I know I am.. but I'm also very sexual," he said while licking his lips, taking a sip from his coffee before I grin. "how so, Mr.Payne?" he smirks again.

"you really want to know, niall, really?" I shrug. "got nothing better to do, to be honest." his smirk grows larger before he drinks the rest of his coffee, leaving some money before taking my hand, leading me to the parking lot.
