My Fake Husband.

V.

Back to Niall's point of view.

I woke up hearing a bunch of noise, and something hitting the window. I jumped out of bed and ran out of Liam's room and rushed into the living room where he was sleeping there perfectly. I shook him awake. He opened his eyes before rubbing them.

"Niall? What time is it?" I wasn't too concerned about the time as much as I was about someone breaking into his home.

"Liam, come here I think someone's trying to break in."

"What?" He asked shockingly before standing up.

"Please come here." I grabbed on to his hand pulling him to his room. We stood there a few seconds before the banging started again; I squeezed on to Liam's hand as he laughed.

"That's the tree, Niall. Now go back to sleep." He let go of my hand and turned around rubbing his eyes.

"Liam?"

"Mhm?"

"C-can you stay with me? I don't want to sleep alone."

"It's just a tree-"

"Please!" I begged, with a frown. He looked at me before giving in.

"Fine." That's all he said before walking towards his bed, I laid back down next to him. I was facing the window but then the trees branches hit it again. I turned towards Liam wrapping my arms around him, and laying my head on his chest. I felt him tense up a bit before he whispered. "Good night, Niall." I looked up at him. "Good night, Liam." I then fell asleep again peacefully.

I woke up in bed all alone, the drapes had been pulled open letting the sun in. I stood up yawning. I wonder if Liam already left to work. After using the restroom I walked out to the kitchen to see him still in his pajamas.

"Morning." I yawned.

"Morning. Are you hungry?" I nodded. "What do you want? I have cereal or I can make bacon and eggs for you." I didn't want to be complicated but bacon and eggs did sound good.

"Bacon and eggs sounds fine."

"You could've just eaten cereal like I do every morning." He said jokingly.

"I can. You haven't started cooking yet."



"I was joking, it's fine. I don't mind. But you can go take a shower while I make this, yeah?" I just nodded before going back to the luggage and pulling out an outfit. I headed into the bathroom and started the shower. I waited a couple seconds for it to warm up and then I stripped out of my clothes. I started to sing quietly making sure Liam wouldn't be able to hear me, I didn't want to embarrass myself anymore than I had last night. I had a fear that someone would break in my house and try to kill me, and it'd only be easier if I was alone, because nobody would hear me. I was singing some song I heard on the radio, by Drake.

Once I was done I changed into my clothes and brushed my teeth. After I was done I hung my towel up and headed into the kitchen, Liam was sitting there in a nice flannel too, and jeans. He didn't hear me so he continued eating without looking at me. I reluctantly sat down before clearing my throat. He looked up and smiled.

"Done already?" I nodded before looking down at the plate in front of me.

"Thank you."

"It was no problem." He looked up at a clock, and smirked. "I gotta go soon. But let's make this seem realistic alright?" He paused and looked at me, I just shrugged while nodding unaware of what he'd say. "Alright, so I around lunch time at noon, come around and bring me something."

"Like what?" I inquired. He looked around the room before standing up and grabbing my phone and tossing at me.

"Here. 'I forgot it.'" He put air quotes and chuckles. "Don't forget alright. I'll be waiting." He kissed my cheek before heading out just like that. I didn't turn around either, afraid to see him in his living room grabbing his bag, he'd probably have a devious smile planted on his lips. I was pretty sure I was redder than a tomato. I gulped, there's no way I'm going to finish eating now that I've got built up nerves.

He didn't have much to do around his house, so I was just watching tv to make time go by, it seemed tedious enough. I felt a phone vibrate in my back pocket and pulled it out seeing a text light up on the screen.

"10:28. Danielle: Heeey, babe! I miss you. Xxx."

If Liam has a girlfriend why would he lie and say he has a husband? That didn't make sense at all to me.

The door made a loud bang and a guy ran straight past me.

"Hi!" He shouted in a very high pitched voice while running a away before slowly walking back. "Who are you?"

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Niall.." He walked up to me smiling before grabbing my hand and shaking it.

"I'm Louis! Nice to meet you, guess we're roomies now. But hey, Liam told me about you going to meet him. His lunch is in half an hour and it takes like 20 minutes to walk there so you'd better get going now."

"I don't know where it's at." He looked around, he looked like he was in a rush.

"Just wait here, mate. I'll be down here in a second and we'll head there, alright?" I just nodded in response, he rushed off right away. He's got a lot of pep, no wonder he's a drama teacher. At the same time though, it could get annoying if he's always like this. Rushing, loud, and eager. I heard stomping down the stairs and already knew it was Louis.

"Let's go!" He quickly walked towards the door and I followed behind him.

"Why are you in such a rush? It's only 10:35."

"By the pace I'm walking we'll be there in 10 minutes, I'm rushing because I have a meeting as soon as Liam gets his break. If I'm late again the principle will go nuts. He's uptight and annoying."

"He's very interrogating." I agreed.

"You met him? Of course you did he's been snooping around Liam for a couple weeks now hoping to fire him." I looked down at his finger and didn't see a ring.

"How come you're not married?"

"I am? Her names Eleanor." He winked before leaning down and whispering. "We're pretty good at faking it so the principle doesn't come around us much." I nodded understanding. "Well, we're here." I saw tons of girls sitting down at tables eating outside. I turned to ask Louis something but he was already gone. I sighed. Well, I guess I have to find Liam alone. I walked inside the school and there was tons of girls in the hallway gossiping and what not. Since I couldn't find Liam I walked wherever, searching in the classes, hoping it didn't look too obvious. After wandering the school, I found Liam sitting down at his desk studying his papers. There were girls by his door whispering things.

"Is that Mr. Payne's friend?"

"He's cute. I hope he's our age." I laughed a bit at that one catching Liam's attention. He stood up walking up to me.

"Niall." He smiled nicely, I took his phone out and handed it to him. "Thank you for bringing my phone."

"It's no problem. You also got a text." He pressed his home button and cringed when he read it.

"You'd think she's take a hint?" He quietly spoke, before deleting it. "Let's go walk around I wanna show you off to everyone." He chuckled causing me to blush, he wanted to show me off. He grabbed on to my hand causing me to get butterflies. It felt different. His hands were bigger and they fit perfect in mine. We began to walk around hand in hand before we heard someone clear their throats.

"Mr. Payne." Someone spoke behind us. We both turned around. I mean we are both Mr. Payne after all. At least when around here.

"Yes, Mr. Gould?" Liam asked innocently.

"You're holding hands and I don't think that's something our students need to see." I let go of Liam's hand before he grabbed it again, making my heart flutter.

"Sorry, Niall was just about to leave." He leaned closer to me and our faces were millimeters apart, I almost thought he was going to kiss me before that guy spoke out again.

"PDA. We don't allow that Mr. Payne."

"Sorry, I just haven't kissed him since we were in my classroom, I just wanted a goodbye kiss. But that's fine." He pouted, and let go of my hand. "I'll be home soon, I love you." He said smiling at me before walking away. I was blushing again, even though it was fake it felt nice hearing that. I was smiling like an idiot while walking back out of the school when someone stopped me.

"Hey, who are you?" A brunet girl stood in front of me.

"I'm Niall...Mr. Payne's husband." It felt nice saying that.

"I don't believe you." She blurted out. I raised an eyebrow.
