Nikki's POV

"N-Niall! WOW! Hi!" I sent Niall a genuine smile. Although I was shocked to see him. The look on his face was hesitant; like he wasn't buying the front I was putting up.

"Yeah, hey." His voice was uncertain. "What are you doing here?" He questioned.

"Uh, just getting butter. Maria forgot to buy some for the garlic bread." I revealed more information than what was needed. 

"Yum, that sounds delicious." He smiled his boyish Irish smile.

"Did you want to join us for dinner?" I asked out of courtesy. I was really hoping that he'd say no, because if he were to say yes, there is no way of hiding Lucy.

"Nah, I can't. The lads are waiting for me back at the flat. But let me take a raincheck?" He raised his brows. I let out a sigh in relief and just smiled at him.

"Of course." My smile only grew bigger.

"God, you're still as beautiful as ever." The words slipped out of Niall's lips so smoothly and effortlessly. I was literally speechless, before I broke down into a fit of giggles.

"And you haven't changed a bit." I finally settled down. 

"Of course I haven't. I'm the most genuine, Irish, lad in the world!" He puffed his chest out and planted his fists on his hips. He is such a dork.

"Yes, you are." I chuckled. He joined me. 

"The guys are going to be so excited to know that you're here." Niall's tone grew.

"Niall! Please, don't tell any of the guys that I'm here." I grabbed his hand out of instinct. He gave me a confused look.

"Why? You know what, that reminds me! Why did you block us out and change your number?" There was a seriousness in the look in his eyes this time. I could tell that he wanted answers. When I didn't respond, he just continued to give me the same intimidating look. Eventually, I had to give him an answer.

"Niall, just trust me, please." I looked up at him with pleading eyes.

Niall let out a sigh and placed a hand on my head. It was a comforting act, and I didn't mind if he was messing up my hair. It never bothered me before and it still doesn't.

"Alright Nik, but please don't block us out for too long. Call me if you ever want to hang out. I won't tell the guys. When the time is right, I know that you'll reveal yourself to them." Niall was being extremely mature. Just like that one night, when he told me that I was brave. Those were words of encouragement that I will never forget.

"Thanks, Nialler." I breathed.

"Don't worry about it. You're a brave one remember??" He smiled. I smiled back.

"Okay, well I'll see you around. Here's my card." I pulled out a card from my wallet and handed it to him.

"Wow. What a professional." He joked. I shook my head and giggled at his little joke.

"Alright Niall, I'll see you around." We exchanged hugs and went our separate ways.
