Got a secret, Can you keep it? (Jiall)

chapter 16

Justin's POV:

Just as things were settling down, I was dreading the thought of going through reports of my case.

Last night I ate dinner quietly with Niall as he told me about his day away from me.

He asked about the hospital, but I just told him that I was healthy and nothing was wrong.

Yes, I was healthy, but saying nothing was wrong, was a lie.

Everything is wrong.

Niall was currently playing with my hair while I laid across the bed messy-ly.

It was mid afternoon, and we were just enjoying each others company.

Strangely, Louis and Harry had been visiting us through the day.

I guess it was to check on Niall, they don't like me.

Zayn came over earlier and talked to me and Niall... well Niall mainly.

I didn't really feel like talking.

"Justin?" Niall leaned above my face, looking down at me.

I hummed in response, playing with his fingers that were tangled with my hair.

"Um, are you busy tomorrow night?" Niall asked, blushing.

I couldn't help but chuckle, "Niall, I've barely left the hotel. I have no plans, why?"

Niall licked his lips, looking as though he was thinking of what to say. I closed my eyes for a bit, liking the quiet sounds of our breathing.

"I was thinking..." Niall spoke up, which caused me to open my eyes and look at him again, "That maybe, you and I could... go on a date?" His voice was hushed once he finished his sentence.

I was surprised by him asking, but I shouldn't be...

I sat up, shifting around so I was sitting exactly in front of him, with my legs crossed.

"A date?" I asked, making sure I heard right.

"Y-Yeah... if you want?" Niall bit his bottom lip, something he does when he's nervous.

I smiled, "Where do you suggest we go?"

Niall shrugged, blushing as he smiled.

I laughed a little.

"Out for dinner, if you want?" Niall smiled.

"Oh, I'd really love that..."

"But?" Niall's smile fell into a frown, noticing my change of tone.

I sighed, "Are w-we ready to go out, dating?"

"Well, I'm ready. If you're not, I'm happy to wait." Niall tried to make it like I wasn't hurting his feelings, but I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"Niall..." I grabbed his hand, bringing it up to mouth as I laid a soft kiss on his fingers.

"Yeah?" Niall blushed at my actions.

"I'm not nervous about walking around, as your boyfriend, I'd like that, really." I smiled.

"Then why're you nervous?" Niall asked.

I blushed, feeling a bit sick when I thought of the reason.

I knew it was best I be honest with Niall, because he's all I really have right now.

I looked in Niall's eyes, growing redder, "If we go out, it'll be our first date... and on a third date of a relationship..." I felt my throat close up, being embarrassed to even say it.
