Triangular love [Niam]

Chapter 14 - Liam

[Hello . Thanks for reading xx]

Annabelle is standing in front of us and my back is still against the building. I get up and cross my arms. Niall is standing next to me looking nervous as ever. He doesn’t look angry though and I’m not sure how I feel about that because from the both of us he should be the one feeling his blood boiling, but instead it’s my own blood that is boiling inside me. It’s not that I hate her; it’s just that I can’t quite forgive her for what she did to Niall, especially the episode in the bathroom.

“Look, guys, I’m sorry okay.” She starts speaking but I cut her off. Her arms are crossed as well but she looks nervous and really cold, she is just wearing a dress. I can see in Niall’s eyes that he wants to give her his coat, because he’s just that type of guy, but he doesn’t. “I’d like to apologize too for what I said to you earlier.” The black haired girl just lifts her shoulders not seeming to be hurt by what I said minutes ago.

“My friend, that girl that you see over there” she points to a darker skinned girl with long braided hair who is looking through a shop that sells purses. She is also wearing a dress but tighter than what Annabelle is wearing. “Her name is Laeka.”

“Are you trying to set us up with her or what?” I snap at her and Niall puts a hand on my shoulder telling me to calm down. It annoys me that he doesn’t take this situation more seriously, she has been on our case for so long and he just stays there as if she never did anything.

Laeka probably saw me get angry because she started to walk towards us with assurance. When she arrives next to Annabelle she greets us but doesn’t say anything else.

The tall girl with the tight dress whispers in the other girls ears and I get even more irritated. Can’t she talk to us herself? “Okay Liam, I will tell you everything if you go on a date with Laeka.” Annabelle says and I feel Niall’s grip on my shoulder a little tighter.

“I refuse.” I say without hesitation and Laeka frowns. “If you don’t go with me I will show this to the media.” She adds while showing us a picture of me and Niall making out on our date. “I only showed a picture of the both of you outside eating, but it could’ve been a friendly date but now they will see that you two are actually dating.”

“You’re the girl who took a picture of us?” Niall asks sadness and frustration written all over his face. Annabelle is about to break when she sees Niall’s face and she finally admits that she tried to stop her from finding us and taking the picture but Laeka is such a manipulative bitch that she had to let her do it and make her meet me or else Laeka would of told the media of what she did to Niall and that would of ruined her reputation for life.

Suddenly, I feel a little sympathy towards Annabelle and my anger fades away. Sure, Annabelle did something wrong but she did apologize. Laeka on the other hand is using the black haired girl to do what she wants by threatening her using the actions she already regrets. That is unacceptable.

Since I don’t want to harm Annabelle, I accept to go on a date with Laeka but just this once. And I make her promise to leave Annabelle alone.

“Deal.” She says as she shakes my hand.

Niall never let go of my shoulder and is still very tense. I look at him but he avoids my eye contact. The two girls are watching us so I take his hand and bring him inside the next building, a souvenir shop.

“Look at me, please Ni’.” I order slash beg him. I really do hope my decision to go on a date with Laeka didn’t hurt his feelings. I mean, I would have understood if he did the same. Would I?

His bright blue eyes shift a little too where I am standing but don’t quite meet my eyes yet so I cup his face with my two hands and lock my eyes with his.

“Babe, if you’re not okay with this, I will find another solution. I promise. Just tell me what’s wrong.” As I say those words he looks away and I start to get a little annoyed but mostly really sad and worried. “I will stay here until you tell me what is going on. And you are not leaving either.” I tell him as I start to sit down on the ground. Thankfully there is no one else except an old lady in the store and she doesn’t seem to recognize us. She probably doesn’t even know who we are.

He starts to give in and sits down next to me. That’s why I love that boy. “I’m just disappointed because you absolutely don’t want her to send the picture to the media. Are you really that embarrassed to be with me?” He whispers. My heart sinks. I know Niall thinks I’m more caring than him but I bet the differ because even if this makes me really sad it makes me realize why I loved this boy in the first place. “When I accepted to go on a date with Laeka it wasn’t because I didn’t want her to send the picture to the media but I thought we were going to wait and tell the fan ourselves about our relationship.”

When I’m done explaining myself Niall kisses me on the cheek. “Please, cancel the date you have with her. Tell her that we don’t care and that I’m the one who is going to have a date with you.” Giving him a huge grin I add “Make that a date with you AND the fans. We are going to tell them that Niall Horan and Liam Payne are officially together.” The irish boy kisses me on the lips this time and before he stops I pull him closer.

“Excuse me boys, the store is going to close soon. Do you mind leaving?” The old lady asks behind us. Red and out of breath we both get up and leave the shop wile mumbling a sorry.

When the cold breeze hits us as I open the door, we notice Laeka waiting next to the door leaning against the brick wall. “You left without the time and place of our date.” She says with confidence raising an eyebrow.

“Excuse me Laeka but the date is cancelled, send the picture to the media if you want, I don’t care. Tomorrow I’m going on a date with Niall.” Her face is crisped with anger. “You can’t do this to me. I’m going to tell the media what Annabelle did.”

“If you do that I’m going to tell the media what you did.” Nialls says and I nod to support him. “If we give you some money will you promise not to do anything to Annabelle?” I ask and she nods, biting her lips. “Okay, I promise.” I take my wallet out of my pocket; I make her shake my hand before handing her the cash and she walks away blowing me a kiss.

“Now that this is settled we have to find a way to tell the fans in person that we are together.” I say and Niall takes out his phone.

@NiallOfficial Tomorrow at 5, concert at the Kaar Centre? Meet us there!

“Perfect!” I say.

Now, we just have to tell the boys and we’re set! I can’t wait to finally prove to Niall that I am not ashamed to be with him. Mostly, I want to see the fans reaction! I really hope it’s going to be positive!

[One more chapter and an epilogue after this and it’s over!
