secret admirer II

2

Two weeks later

After prom, Niall and Rose met up and had the best times in school when they saw each other in between classes and during lunch. But after school, they would try and spend as much time as possible together since that was their first priority. They were head over heels for each other and all they ever wanted to do was spend as much time with each other.

Niall would sneak text messages in between his lessons to Rose who would respond as soon as possible. Although she is a straight A student, it wouldn't hurt her to look away from the teacher for a few seconds. This is either way her first official relationship with a guy, and it's all new to her; the holding hands, cuddling, giving each other nicknames--which she isn't quite fond of but Niall is.

As for Niall, he is more than glad to be with the girl who fell in love with him even though it was a pretty bumpy road for them when he had no idea who she was. His old friends would send him rude glares in class and give him a little shove when he would go to his locker. He does what he's been doing for the past weeks which is to ignore them. But as for the past girls he went out with, they would often pop up and try to seduce him. No matter how beautiful they are, Niall didn't lay a finger on them or even respond back to them he knew that it was part of the boys plan to try and get him back, but he knew that he wasn't planning on going back. Ever.

During lunch, Niall heads out to his usual bench where he finds Rose sitting down with a book open in front of her. She looks engaged as she eats slices of apples from her small container which sits in her lap. Niall sits next to her setting his lunch tray in front of him gently. Looking over her shoulder at the book, he reads the first line he sees. "Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" 

Rose looks up at him, a smile on her face. "Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer." She responds out loud without looking down at the book.

Looking back at the book in front of him, Niall reads the next line out loud. "O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair."

"Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake." 

Taking the book from Rose, he holds it up reading the next line with more emotion. "Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take." He observes Rose's lips. "Thus from my lips, by yours," he comes closer to her, "my sin is purged."

She gulps as she stares at the book cover attempting to remember her line. "T-Then," she stutters, "have my lips the sin that they have took."

Niall looks at his line and smiles. "Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again." He sets the book down and cups Rose's face. He knows that she's nervous since they haven't shared their first kiss yet. 

Leaning in, Rose doesn't let him kiss her. He's taken back. "You can't finish your line now and say that 'I kiss by the book.'" Slamming the book, Rose puts it back in her backpack not wanting him to look at it again. "Are you alright?" He asks very concerned. 

"Yea, it's just--i've never kissed anymore, Niall--no one. Ever. I don't mean to say this but uh--it's a lot of pressure." She holds herself.

It's true, since Rose has never been in a relationship before, it also means that she's never shared a kiss with anyone in her life. She has wondered how it's felt like--was like in the movies? Would she feel a spark? Or would it just feel mushy and gross? But she also wants it to be memorable which is another reason as to why she didn't want to kiss Niall out in the quad in front of the school. All of this made her think that she's seen too many romance films, but it's stuck with her.

"I'm sorry I did that, Niall--"

He shakes his head. "No--It's fine, Rose. I don't want to pressure you--I-I'd never."

Just as he was going to say something else, the bell rings indicating the end of lunch and beginning of fifth period. "We should get going to class." Rose mumbles under her breath as she packs everything away harshly.

Niall looks at the food in front of him. Picking it up, he throws it out in the nearest trash then escorts Rose to her class. "I'll see you after class." Rose says as she gives him a small hug. 

He agrees and stares at her as she walks into her class. He wishes that he could kiss her goodbye, but he knows that f he were to, it wouldn't end well for either of them. Instead, he heads to class like the rest of the students when he suddenly runs into an old friend standing by his locker. Niall decides to forget his belongings and head to class when Jess halts him by standing in front of him. "Hi, Niall. I've missed you."

He walks past her when Max gives him a little push in the back, this makes him stop in his tracks along with other students around them. "Horan, it's such a mistake that you've left us for her. What does she have that Jess doesn't?"

Turning around, students start to gather around them hoping for a fight to break out. "Well for starters," Niall says, "Rose hasn't slept with almost half of the school because she actually has some respect for her and her body--" everyone around him 'oohs,' "and Rose also has a brain to know whats good and whats bad for her unlike Jess who used to be going in the right direction until she came to high school."

Jess storms up to Niall with her hand up in the air ready to slap when when Niall makes a quick move into dodging her hand. She ends up hitting the lockers next to him with a huge smack echoing throughout the hallway. The bell suddenly rings. "It's time to go to class." He says. "The old Jess would of been in her classroom five minutes ago." He says before walking away leaving the blonde haired girl with her mouth open and hands in fists.

Everyone else around them goes their separate ways talking among one another about the burn that just happened. In a few minutes, more than half of the school would know about the drama that just happened. But what none of them knew was that the drama was just going to start.
