Silently in Love [Niall Horan]

Chapter Five

I dedicated this to Gummy_Bear_Ninja because she commented first!

So what's going on between you and that boy? My mom signed. We were sitting at the table waiting for my dad to get home. We had already ate, my mom just wanted to stay here and talk.

I shrugged and looked down at my lap. I didn't want her to know about me and Niall talking because she'd start acting like a school girl.

My mom frowned and mouthed, "Okay then."

We've been messaging each other, I signed quickly.

I didn't like when my mother was upset so I went ahead and told her.

She grinned and clapped her hands together.

"Aw," she mouthed.

I smiled and dropped my plate in the sink before heading upstairs.

I sat down on my bed and pulled out my laptop. I'm glad you don't need hearing to be on the internet. Well except for YouTube but that doesn't count for me.

I saw my phone light up and I quickly reached up and grabbed it, knowing it was from Niall.

 Heyy, go to you window.

I was confused but I went over to my window anyway. I smiled when I saw Niall standing there with his hands in his pockets.

He smiled and I watched as he moved his hands to tell me, Wanna take a walk with me?

Did he start learning sign language?

I bit my lip and looked inside my bedroom.

"My mom," I mouthed. He frowned and looked at the ground.

I turned around and jogged downstairs. I saw my mom watching some show on televisions.

Mom?

She looked at me expectantly and I took a deep breath before continuing.

Niall's outside and wants to take a walk with me. Can I go?

She thought for a second before finally smiling and nodding.

Just be home at a decent time so your father won't be mad.

I hugged her and grabbed a coat before opening the door. Niall stood with his hand brought into a fist, as if he was about to knock.

"Hey." He said it slowly, remembering what I told him. "You made it."

I nodded and smiled. Niall looked down at the ground before looking back at me.

"I want to know more about you."

"How would that work?" I mouthed the words slowly and he bit his lip.

He suddenly smiled. "Favorite animal?"

I read his lips and caught on to what he said. I made the hand gestures of a puppy and he smiled.

"Color?"

I looked around before pointing to a Lilac Flower. He nodded and asked me a few more questions. I had trouble reading his lips on some of them and I had to gesture for him to repeat it again. I was embarrassed but Niall waved it off.

A half-hour into our walk, Niall grabbed my hand. He rubbed the tips of his fingers across my knuckles and smiled to himself.

I felt my cheeks get warm before I tightened the grip just a bit.

Niall grinned and asked me another question, "Birthday?"

I stuck my index fingers in the air so it made an '11' and then I made an '18'.

"That's not too far off." He said.

I nodded, agreeing. I hated 'talking' like this. I wanted to hear his voice, to see if he was British, American, or something else.

"Are you American?" I mouthed to him.

He brought his head back and I knew he was laughing when he opened his mouth. I frowned, wondering why he was laughing.

He finally stopped and when he faced me, he grinned. "No, I'm Irish."

My mouth formed an 'o' as I felt embarrassment take over me. I slipped my hand out of his and rubbed them on my jeans, looking away from here.

Niall quickly grabbed it back and mouthed to me, "It's okay. I'm not laughing at you. I just thought it was funny, sorry if I offended you."

I smiled and shook my head, glad he wasn't making fun of me.

"Come on lets get you home."

We turned around and started walking back to my house.

"Did you learn sign language?" I mouthed to him. I saw his cheeks turn pink in the darkness and he shrugged.

I smiled to myself as we ended up at my house.

"Goodnight Florence." He kissed my temple before turning around and leaving. I was left standing there, my cheeks warm. He needs to stop with this blushing business.

When I got in the house, I saw my dad at the table.

Where were you? I didn't know if he was mad or upset or what.

Out with a friend. His name's Niall. We just went for a walk. I'm sorry."

He got up and smiled before hugging me. "It's alright."

I mouthed a goodnight to my parents before heading to bed, one thing on my mind.

Niall held my hand.
