Forever And Always

Chapter 47

The next morning, I woke up very early and went straight to the bathroom. We were supposed to be leaving today. Or so I thought. I was still in no mood to talk to Niall. I step in the bathroom and get under the shower head. When the temperature is right, I let the water run down my body and it just feels so nice. I wash my long hair and finish washing my body. I wrap a towel on my body and another on my hair.

I go to my room and wear a short that I had placed there. I then finish off wearing a crop top and then my sneakers. This is what I will be wearing until we are ready to leave.

I make my way downstairs and find Niall's mother making breakfast.

"Good morning ma'am. "I say and sit on a stool.

She frowns at me and says," Come on, just call me Maura, okay? "

I nod, but I feel like I'll be disrespecting her by calling her by her first name.

" Are you okay with it? "I ask unsure.

" Of course darling. "

Niall comes in the kitchen. I'm sitting with my elbow on the table and my palm supporting my chin. I cannot help but notice that he looks a bit tired. He looks as if he didn't get much sleep last night.
He hugs his mom and kisses her cheek while muttering a 'good morning.'

He comes to my side and tries to hug me. I do not hug him back but he ends up hugging me sideways.

"Good morning babe? "

" Good morning ", I say unwillingly.

It's better if I just say it for the sake of his mother. Though I didn't want giving her hopes of me being with his son.
Niall places my phone on the table.

" Here's your phone."

I nod and grab it. I see a few missed calls from the boys, Justin and Linda.
Maybe the boys were wondering what had happened that I didn't even answer their calls.

If only they knew.

And that got me thinking.

Did the boys know about it?

I text Louis telling him that I'm fine.

Lou: What happened to you??? You aren't answering our calls why?

Oh my, what am I supposed to tell him?
I know he cares for me but telling him what actually happened is the last thing on my mind.

Me :Oh come on Louis. I'm fine.

I know he wouldn't believe me. But would I really tell the boys the truth?
Maybe they even knew about it.

Lou: Feel free to talk to me if there's any problem.

Oh thank God he didn't press it further. I didn't know if I am ready to talk to him about it.

Me: Yeah sure Louis.

I didn't have anything more to say to him so i left it at that. I'm deeply engrossed in my phone that I don't even realise Niall is sitting next to me.

He's just looking at me intensely with his mesmerising eyes. I roll my eyes at him but that does not make him look away.

Needless to say, he even takes my hand in his but I quickly pull my hand away. I look over at his mother who seems to be much busy than necessary. She is wiping the cupboard which is already so clean. I know she's just trying to avoid the situation. I really want to get away from Niall but I don't  want her mom thinking that I'm such a drama queen. So I just stay there sipping my coffee pretending he's not there.

"Babe are you still mad at me? "He asks calmly.

I sip my coffee before saying anything. After two sips, I glance his way.

" Isn't it obvious? "I snap.

He seems surprised at my bad attitude but plays it cool. I don't know what has gotten into me but it's only because I'm angry.

I get up but he grabs my arm.

" What? " I growl.

He gets up as well and pulls me with him. I try to loosen myself but he only tightens his grip on my arm.

" What is this? "I ask.

By now, we were already upstairs and outside the guest room. I  once again pulled my hand away from his.

" Kaity, please hear me out, I want us to be in good terms when we leave tomorrow. "

So we're not leaving today, huh!

"Will you just leave me alone. I need sometime alone."

I get inside the room huffing. He's really annoying me now. He just can't leave me alone. But the worst part is that I just feel like hugging him. I miss him so much but I cannot swallow my pride. I'd rather cut my finger first. Anyway, I wouldn't do that of course.

"Please Kaity, talk to me ", he says.

He continues knocking but I know better than opening for him. I just lay there on the bed trying to forget everything.

As if I would.

~~~~~~

According to what his mother tells me,he left almost immediately when I locked myself in my room. I would just but wonder where he'd gone to. I didn't need to wonder for too long since I knew exactly where he went. Or at least I thought.

The moment he gets inside the house, he comes right on my side. He looks really disturbed. Looks like his meeting with the girl didn't go so well.

"Kaitlyn, I have something to tell you. Please come with me",He says standing up, already waiting for me.

I reluctantly follow him outside the house whereby he sits on a bench and I do the same . I don't like how quiet he is.

"I went for a DNA test, me and the child. Aisling's child.  "

I nod, not knowing what to say. Honestly, I'm glad he's trying to make things right. But there's definitely one thing that's disturbing me.

What if the baby is his? What's going to happen then?

" Kaitlyn, I'm trying to make things right. I know I should have told you the first thing we started dating but I'm really sorry and I hope you could forgive me. "He says, now very serious, looking into my eyes.

With those eyes!

" But what if the baby is yours? "

His clenches his fists and looks so angry all of a sudden. He then softens almost immediately after seeing my reaction.

" I really hope the baby is not mine.  "

" And if it's yours, then? "

He takes my hand in his, looking at me with those beautiful eyes of his. This time, I do not pull my hand away. I don't even attempt to do it.

"I will not let you go no matter what."
