Complications

Part 27

Niall’s POV

‘I’m on my way xx’ I feel so happy when I read her text. I didn’t want her to leave in the first place and when she left, I felt empty. So empty. I’m glad that she’s coming back.

After 10 minutes she still didn’t arrive and I started to get worried.  What if something happened?

Not long after all the thoughts of her getting hurt entered my mind, the doorbell rings.

‘Sorry.. I ehm, my sister kept talking.’ She said stuttering. Normally I would believe when people say this but the tone in her voice.. It sounds like she’s hiding something. I don’t want to ask now, all I want is to go back to bed with her next to me.

‘It’s okay.’ I say and I pull her closer to me and kiss her softly on the lips. What am I doing? We’re not a couple, I shouldn’t be kissing her. I pull out of the kiss and I feel my cheeks burn. ‘Sorry, I..’ I begin but she cuts me off and kisses me again.

She smiles at me and pushes me backwards. I take her hands and lead her back into my room. As I lay down, she lays down beside me. She instantly lays her head on my chest. And sighs. ‘Something wrong?’ I ask.

‘No.’ she lies. I decide not to ask further. I just want to enjoy the moment. I gently stroke her hair. Suddenly I realize she’s asleep again. She must be really tired.

When her phone vibrates next to her, I can’t help myself. I pick it up and look at the screen. ‘Daniel’

Daniel? Why would he text her? Should I read it? NO Niall! You’re better than that!

I lay her phone back and fall asleep myself. Hours later we both wake up. ‘Best sleep ever!’ I say still yawning. She laughs and nods. ‘Definitely!’ I kiss her on her forehead.

‘You got a text. From Daniel.’ I let out. ‘I didn’t read it, I wanted to though but I didn’t.’ She picks up her phone and reads it. Then shows it to me. ‘Read it, I got nothing to hide.’

*Did you take my advice on Niall?x* I got uncomfortable reading it. ‘He thinks I will do that. I didn’t answer to his note when I got it. I don’t want to talk to him again.’

‘It seems like he cares about you. I mean, I don’t know.’ ‘He doesn’t, he sees me as his girl but we only dated a year in the beginning.’ My heart drops.

‘You.. dated him?’ I’m shocked. I should have figured it out, they were like the two leaders of their group. ‘Yes, but only for a year. Then I broke up with him.’ I can’t help but ask why.

‘At one of our jobs.. It got wrong and I saw this other side of him.. I didn’t want to be with him anymore.’ Jobs? What the hell is she talking about? ‘What jobs? What happened? Why didn’t you leave the group back then?’ I ask way too many questions but I’m getting worried.

‘Niall, please.. I don’t want to remember that day...’
