Craving || Niam

a big decision.

Chapter 9

Niall

I continue to stare at liam, a large smile growing on his face as a nervous chuckle leaves his lips. "n-niall? your answer?" I open my mouth slightly to say something, only to jump in my spot when someone opens the bedroom door with a slam.

"ah, I'm great at entrances," Cheryl says with a smirk, walking up to a dresser near the window. "what are you doing here, Cheryl," liam asks as Cheryl grabs a pearly necklace, smiling when she sees me.

"just getting something that was and is mine. I also see that you have Niall here. Zayn has told me a lot about you by the way.. be careful with Liam here, okay? he can really twist his words and make you believe something that isn't true. he's a lier to everyone he meets." liam rolls his eyes with a scoff, her words rolling around in my head.

"can you please leave my house, Cheryl?" she dramatically flips her hair as I clench my jaw. "it'd be my pleasure, Liam. have fun being used, Niall." she then leaves the room with a smile, closing the door behind her as liam looks at me again, a frown on his face.

"niall.. please don't tell me that you're actually believing her?" he brings out his hand to touch my cheek, but I pull away quickly, stepping back a bit. "liam.. just.. let me think, okay? I wasn't even sure of my answer before she came in.." I rub the back of my neck as he rubs his forehead.

"look, niall.. I'm sorry if I make you feel off and or uncomfortable.. you just, honestly, make me feel this type of way that I really like.. you make me feel this sort of attraction, that I've never felt towards someone.. you showed me that I could actually have feelings for someone.." he looks down as he rubs his hands together slowly.

"I know we've only known each other for a few days, but we already know so much about each other.. I feel like I can tell you anything and I just want you, in anyway possible.." he looks back up as he notices that I'm smiling softly.

"how can I believe you, liam?" he sighs once again, slowly taking my left hand with his right, lacing our fingers together. "just give me one chance, okay? if I screw it up.. I get one warning, okay? after that, you can be through with me and any of the bullshït I give." I look back down.

"I don't know, liam.. this is all so much. I know what you've done in your life and I don't want some of things happening with me, I-"

"those things don't have to happen, niall. I don't have to screw around with you or make you cry. I want to make you the happiest teenager and guy in the world. I want to spoil you, give you whatever you want. just please, niall.." by the time he finishes, a tear slowly drips out of his eye, making me gasp softly.

"liam? are you crying?" he sniffles and quickly flicks away the tears with his finger. "I'm not crying.. just tearing up.." I look at him once more and slowly caress his cheek, his stubble tickling my palm as he forcefully smiles.

"can you please let me think, liam? I honestly need more time.." he nods slowly, placing his right hand over my hand that's on his cheek. "you can go ahead and think, darling.. take as long as you need." I smile softly.

"thank you.. and well, uhm.. we pretty much missed the last few classes for today so.. can I just stay in your guest room?" he slowly grins. "of course you can, niall. I'm sorry I made you miss class, by the way," he says before I shrug as he leads me out of the room and towards a guest one.

"oh its fine. today didn't really matter anyways. I will ask Louis if I had homework so I can catch up, if need be," I replied with as we entered one of the guest rooms, my mouth a bit wide from its size.
