Complications

Part 35

A/N: Hi guys! Sorry for not updating but I have been busy! Hope you like this update though :D I'm also changing the title from 'Hidden Love' to 'Complications' because this title suits the story better :D Thanks to Colleen for the title :D Read her stories! She's good! :D

I’m thinking about my options. I do need the money but I don't want to join Daniel again, neither do I want to ask Niall for it. I’m taken back to reality by the sound of my phone. It’s Niall.

*Hey beautiful, are you ready for our date tomorrow? xx*

Shit. Our date. I’m considering to not go. I want to but if they see me with him they will ask who he is and why I’m with him and he would get in trouble. I don’t want that. I caused him enough trouble.

Should I call if off? My thoughts have caught me off guard because I haven’t replied in 10 minutes.

* Actually, no I’m not if I have to be honest xx* I text back. I’m not going to lie to him, maybe he’ll understand. I hope he didn’t take it the wrong way.

* That’s okay love, we’ll go another day xx*

I smile at his text. He’s so understanding. Before I know it I’m calling him.

‘Hello?’ I hear him saying but I can tell that he’s smiling. ‘Hi, sorry Niall, I..’

‘You don’t have to explain it Megan. It’s okay. We can go another day. Take your time.’

I stay quiet. I don’t really know what to say. I feel so guilty, I feel so angry... yet I’m happy at this moment just because I hear his voice. ‘You still there love?’ Oh love, I love it when he calls me that.

‘Y-yess, I’m still here, I was just.. thinking..’ Thinking about being there with him, feeling his lips on mine, laying in his arms.. ‘About what?’ I hear him giggle. Should I be honest and say what I’m thinking? Suddenly I feel I’m blushing. ‘You really want to know? I.. I’m a little shy.’ I admit.

Wow. Big change for me, I think to myself. What is it with this blonde boy? He gets me to open up to him without even trying. ‘Yes I really want to know, but you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.’ I just start laughing. I can’t help it. He makes me happy. I just forgot about all the problems for a while.

‘Okay, well, I was thinking..’ I start to stutter but this is not the time to stop. I want to tell him. ‘I was thinking about you.’ ‘What about me?’ I hear in his tone that he’s enjoying it and I can tell that he’s still smiling. Oh I would love to see his smile again..

‘How badly I want to be with you right now. In your arms.. or to feel the soft touch of your lips on mine again.’ Did I really said that to him? ‘Should I pick you up?’ he asks. Should he? I want to go there again but I think it’s better for now to stay home.

‘I want to but I better stay home tonight. But maybe we can stay on the phone for a bit longer?’ I ask, hoping that he’s not mad or something. ‘Sure love. Anything for you.’ he replies.

We stayed on the phone for what seemed like hours and it was so nice and I don’t know.. It felt good. I feel like I can trust him, really trust him. But should I? I trusted Daniel once, I trusted Emma once and they aren’t the good type of friends. What if it happens again? I need a real friend and I think I can find that with Niall. I can find more with him, maybe even love. I think I love him. Did I say it already to him? I can’t remember. I know he has said it to me a couple of times. I’m just afraid to get hurt or to hurt. I don’t want to hurt Niall. It’s so complicated yet so easy because he’s so good to me.
