Loving Niam (BOYXBOY) (COMPLETED)

Part 19: Niall's POV

I couldn't believe that I had asked 1/5 of One Direction for lunch. Rebecca will flip if she found out.
No, wait, scratch that- she will kill me.

Oh wells, only if she has to know. She will never have to. HEHEHEE.

I tapped my fingers anxiously while waiting for Liam to arrive. I wasn't sure if calling him out for lunch was a good idea.
I mean I could cancel but

Should I?

"Hey Niall, have you been waiting long?". I gulped and looked up. Too late, Liam was standing there in all of his glory and cancelling now will be such a terrible horrible idea.

"Did I just say in all of his glory?"

"Yeaps, I am pretty sure you said that" Liam snickered at me. I looked up again, mortified that all of MY INTERNAL HEAD TALK WAS HEARD.

I grimaced and blushed red completely. I swear to god, life could not be more mortifying than now. Liam sat down and smiled at me.

"That's fine. I do a lot of this internal head talk and my band mates always call me out on it.".

I smirked at that. Nice to know that famous beings had that common man problem. My little spiel was stopped when the waiter stopped by with the menu.

Time just flew by with Liam. He was really such a down to earth man and very sweet. I couldn't help blushing numerous times because of this man. Not sure if he's like this because its our first meeting or if he's naturally like that.

"So, I was thinking, should we do dinner next Friday after my rehearsal? You could pop by the studio if you wanted?"

I snapped up, realising that I had zoned out momentarily. I grinned at Liam and kept at it for a while.
Liam smirked at me, slapping me gently on my wrist- knowing that nothing had gone into my head at all. We settled the bill and left, still discussing and firming up plans for Friday.

We were walking down the streets when we bumped into someone. Someone I really didn't mind seeing but maybe just about not now?

PERRY. I inched away a little from Liam once Perry came into my view. For some fucking reason, I don't know why I did that but I sensed Liam clam up a bit.

"LIAM! And Niall? Hey I had no idea you guys were friends! What about are you doing here?".

Liam hemmed and hawed. I seized the opportunity to steer the conversation away from us, checking in with Perry on him. We had a nice conversation for a bit and I totally forgot about Liam until he interrupted us.

"Hey guys, if its ok, I make my move first. Maybe I text you later Niall!" Liam spat everything out in one breath and scuttled away.

Yes, he literally scuttled away. I was gobsmacked for a bit before I realized how rude I had been to leave him hanging. I turned to Perry who just retorted "Had no idea he was still hung up on me".

WHAT?! I stared at Perry for a while who revealed that they had dated in high school before Liam broke his heart. I was quite taken aback by what he said. Prehaps, Liam wasn't so fantastic after all.
