Scars Don't fade (Niall horan fanfic)

Chapter 22

Our lips brushed, and it felt electric. His lips were warm and soft against mine. He pulled away and I opened my eyes. His kiss was so sweet, and though this sounds weird it felt genuine. I wasn't used to someone kissing me lovingly.

Involuntarily a tear slipped out. I quickly wiped it away hoping he wouldn't see.

"What's wrong love?" He asked looking worried.

"It's just no one has ever kissed me like that before, I know it's a stupid thing to cry about." I said blushing.

"Jess, that's not stupid." He said gently touching my face and lifting my head so I was looking into his eyes.

He smiled at me and I couldn't resist smiling back.

"Jess will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course Niall!" I was happy and I really could tell he was different from Jason. It was time I trusted someone again.

"Thank you." He said his eyes lighting up. He leaned in and kissed my cheek softly. I blushed and he chuckled.

"What's funny?" I asked him.

"Oh, you're just so cute when you blush." He said blushing himself.

"Thanks." I said managing to keep myself from blushing again.

"Your welcome." He said warmly.

"So, should we tell everyone right away?" I asked nervously biting my lip.

"I don't know I was thinking we were going to." He looked at me for approval.

"Okay, yeah that'll be fine." I said smiling. I was so nervous how they would react, but if being with him made me happy they should be happy.

"You sure?" He asked grabbing my hand.

"Yep I'm sure." I said more firmly.

"Okay." He said smiling." What should we do?"

"I don't know." I said shrugging.

"Want to head back?"

"Sure, I guess." I said hesitantly. I was super nervous about telling everyone.

"Okay let's go." He said standing up.

I stood up still holding his hand.

"Oh wait." I said, it would be so cute to take a picture of our hands together.

"What?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"I'm gonna take a picture quick." I said and he relaxed.

He let go of my hand, but I grabbed hold of his again.

"I want to take one of our hands." I said blushing at how dumb the idea sounded.

"Oh, okay." He said holding my hand again.

I held my camera with my other hand and snapped a picture with the park bench as a background.

"Got it!" I said showing him the picture. It had turned out pretty good, I really liked it.

"Wow, that looks amazing." He said his eyes widening.

"Thanks." I said turning off my camera.

We walked back holding hands and talking. I felt pretty comfortable around him, especially since I had opened up. So I actually talked, it reminded me of when we went sightseeing when I had first moved in with them. Though it wasn't that long ago a lot had changed. Then I didn't utter a word, now I had no problem talking to Niall.
