Tell Me a Lie

CHAPTER 6

My date with Josh... wen't really well. I really like him. I feel bad about Niall but, I think I should move on. He obviously has feelings for Grace regardless about how he feels about me. Shouldn't I just let him sort himself out and let myself move on? I'm not sure but, I want to see how things work out with Josh. My day progresses and Josh texts me.

Josh : hey. can i see you tonight? i sure miss you.. x

I blush and I feel all tingly. I want to see him too. I reply telling him "of course, please do." I feel like everything is starting to turn up. I go take a shower and put on some clean clothes. I walk into my kitchen where I left my phone and I have a text from... Niall.

Nialler <3 : hey... i need to stop by later , that ok

I replying saying "Why?". I don't know why he would need to stop by. I don't want to see him. He replied.

Nialler <3 : we need to sort things out

I guess we kinda do... but, things are fine right now. I don't want me seeing him and talking to him again messing things up. I tell him maybe another time since Josh is coming over later. I don't tell him that Josh is coming because he doesn't need to know that. I clean up the house a bit and my phone goes off again. It's Josh.

Josh : can the boys come, too? we can have a party!

I giggle to myself. I like the idea so I tell him that's fine. A few hours pass and everyone arrives. Niall is actually here and it isn't weird. I feel like he needs company though. I walk over to Harry and ask him for Grace's number. He would have it since they used to be good friends. I text her to come over. I don't feel weird about it. I think she will come... maybe.

An hour passes and Grace shows up at my door. Niall sees her and I can tell he feels really uncomfortable. I want to go talk to him but Josh grabs my hand and pulls me into the kitchen. He puts his hand around my neck and touches his nose to mine. He doesn't kiss me but, I can tell that he wanted to. He just whispers "Let's Dance." I go turn some music on and everyone begins to dance. Louis is trying to teach Jaimee how to 'pat the dog and screw the light bulb' but it looks like the only move she can pull of is 'stop the traffic, let em through'. I smile to myself. I feel so happy having all my friends around. Niall is dancing with Grace and I almost feel happy about it. It's almost like I want them together. But, why would I? Josh starts pulling me in closer as we dance together. He sneaks a small peck on my cheek and I blush. Liam and Rachel are doing the sprinkler trying to battle out Chelsey and Zayn. Chelsey and Zayn look they are losing until Zayn breaks out his Usher dance moves. Rachel and Liam give up and Chelsey just yells "GET IT, BABY!" Me and Josh start cracking up. I am really lucky. Lucky to have such great friends around me. I don't think I could be any happier than I am right now. I look over and see Niall taking Grace into another room. Me being the curious person I am, I peek around the corner to see what's going on. It looks like they're just talking things out until they sneak a kiss. I flip my head around and look at the floor. My emotions are all mixed up. I want Niall to be happy, but it was hard to see him kiss her even though I want Grace to be with him again. Josh comes up to me and grabs my hands. He looks me in the eyes and says "Is everything ok?" He looks deep into my eyes and I can tell by the way he looks at me that he truly likes me... a lot. I snap back a look at Niall and Grace. They look really happy. I look back at Josh and I say "everything is fine." I smile at him and he leads me back to dance with everyone else.
