You Were My Summer Love (1D Fanfic)

Chapter Four-Secrets

Cali's POV

When I woke up the next morning, I had gotten around an hour of sleep. There were dried tears all over my face; I had spent the night crying.

Who would I choose? Niall obviously would love to be with me, but I had a little problem called MY BOYFRIEND! And I was supposed to go see him today! Ugh!

I got in the shower, then I got dressed in an off the shoulder sweater and shorts. I slipped on my Vans and grabbed my purse.

I sighed and walked out of the door. I turned around and locked the door.

I caught a cab and leaned my head against the seat once I had told the cabbie where to take me.

Ten minutes later, the cab stopped in front of my boyfriend's flat. I handed him seven pounds, thanked him, then got out.

I turned around before the cab drive could go and told him to keep it running, I would only be a few minutes.

I ran to the flat's door and knocked. It opened to show my boyfriend.

"Babe! You're here!" He exclaimed loudly, dragging me into a bear hug.

"Umm... Yeah. I'm... Uh... Here for the summer." I said quietly.

"Yes! Babe! I'm so excited! I can take you all the places I've wanted to show you!" He looked so happy and it broke my heart, knowing that I was about to break his heart.

"Dylan?" I said, still as quiet as before.

He looked down at me and frowned when he saw my frown.

"What's wrong?" He asked me.

"I... I..." I looked at my phone and saw that I had a text from Niall. That one text automatically wiped guilt about dumping Dylan out of my mind. I really liked Niall and I wasn't going to waste this chance because I was too much of a wimp to dump Dylan.

"I think that we should take a little time away from each other." My voice was strong.

When I looked at his face, his eyes had tears in them. I closed my eyes and sighed.

"But... Is it... Is it something I did?" He asked me, his voice breaking.

"No...No. I just... Can't be in a relationship right now. I need to focus on school." Secrets. I felt bad for keeping secrets. It was the truth but not the entire truth. "I have to go. The cab's waiting for me."

I turned and started to walk away when he grabbed my arm. "One last kiss?"

I turned around and walked to him. I grabbed his face and turned it down toward mine.

We kissed passionately; like it was the last kiss we would ever share. And it was. When I pulled away his eyes were full of fire, passion and anger both.

"Bye." He whispered and closed the door.

I got back into the cab. "One second." I said. I dialed Niall's number. "Where are you?" I asked when he answered.

"Home?" He said like a question.

I giggled a little. "Where is home?"

"Oh." He chuckled, then told me the address.

I told the cab driver. He started driving and told me that he had stopped the timer while I was out of the car. As he pulled up in front of Niall's flat, I thanked him and paid him a little extra.

"Keep the change!" I smiled and closed the door. When he started driving away, I turned around and walked to the door.

I knocked and waited for an answer. "I'LL GET IT!" I heard Louis scream. A few seconds later he opened the door. "Cali! My bestest friend!" He hugged me the asked, "What do you need?"

"Can I talk to Niall?"

"NIALL!"

Thirty seconds later, Niall walked down the stairs. Shirtless.

"What do you need Lo-" He rushed back to where he came from. He came back a few minutes later blushing. Shirt on. Damn.

"I need to talk to you. Wanna go for a drive?"

"Sure. I'll grab the keys."

Niall came back and we said bye to Louis.

We climbed into Niall's car and he started it. Driving away from their flat, Niall spoke first.

"So about last night..."

"That's what I needed to talk to you about. I... Uh... Broke up with my boyfriend before I came here." More secrets. That's not all I did before I came here.

"Y-you did?" He managed to stutter out.

"Yeah... And I... Uh... Was wondering if maybe you wanted to try... Us?" My voice turned into a whisper at the end. Was I really asking THE Niall Horan if he wanted to date me?

He slammed on the breaks, turning to look at me. Good thing we were on a residential street with no traffic.

"Was it not obvious enough last night?" He chuckled. "What I mean is yes. Hell yes."

He started driving again. "I don't want to tell anybody though."

It was my turn to look at him in shock. Was he embarrassed of me? Did he think the lads would make fun of him?

He saw my worried expression and shook his head. "Don't worry. It's nothing about you, about us." He smiled when he said us. "I just don't want the paparazzi to be in our relationship and even if we just told the lads, one of them would probably end up tweeting something about it. They're my best mates, but they can't keep secrets to save their lives."

There goes that word again... Secret. I seemed to have a lot of those lately.
