Smile. ON HOLD(Punk Niall Horan Fanfic)

Recap:

"I'll say it slow. I. Want. You. For. Myself." Luke tilted my chin up, "How could I have fell so hard for someone in a matter of days. Damn Talia...what have you done to me?" He laughed.

"Huh? Wha-" Before I could finish...Luke brought his lips to mine.

I-I'm kissing Luke...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Talia's POV)

I'm... kissing Luke. I'm kissing Luke? Oh my god. I'm kissing Luke! What the hell is happening?!? Why aren't I moving? Why...don't I find his lips as appealing as Niall's? Why am I thinking about Niall? What the hell is going on?!?

Luke pulls away from my lips slowly. My breath hitched as Luke moaned quietly. "Talia...I love you." I stayed silent. I mean what was I supposed to say? "I loved you the moment I layed my eyes on you."

He rubbed small circles in my right cheek with his thumb. "I love you so much Talia." Those words...

These words that just came out of Luke's mouth...no one has ever said them to me before. I mean sure some have..but not like the way Luke is saying it. When Luke let's those words fall from his mouth, they have a such stronger meaning.

"Talia, be mine. Please be mine." Luke pecked my lips again. "Please." He pecked them again. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. My whole body just...went numb. I don't know what to do. I-I don't know...

What about Niall though?

Why would I think about Niall at a time like this. I need to stop thinking about Niall. Those thoughs about Niall and I being something different, need to go. He's caused me nothing but trouble. Maybe I should be with Luke. He treats me better. Plus Niall has ruined my whole high school experience. Because of Niall people walk all over me. And I get beat down on because of him. All the tears I've cried these past years are all because of Niall.

There is no way I would ever choose Niall over Luke. There is no way I could even compare the two! Luke is so kind hearted. He actually cares for me. He-he....loves me. He loves me. Luke Hemmings, loves me? Oh my god. He loves me.

The realisation of what Luke said hit me like a fucking train. I'm so confused...

"Talia-"

"Luke..I can't..."

"Why?" He quickly sits up. "W-what did I do?" He runs his fingers through his hair. "Oh god, did I come on too strong? Talia-" Luke grabbed my hands, "Please...please be mine. I know we've just met but I can't stand the thought that you're not mine! I know you're going through stuff but, together, we can get through it. You'll never be alone again. I'll always be there for you!"

I rip my hands from his, and sadness floods his eyes. "You can't be so sure Luke. You don't know everything about me. You don't know the real me! If you did...you'd probably get scared and run away." I turn my head so I'm not facing him. I couldn't. Not now. I'm literally on the edge of tears and there's no way I could hold them in if I looked at Luke. "Everyone always ends up running away."

I feel his strong-warm arms wrap around me from behind, and Luke lies his head on my shoulder. "But that's not me Talia."

"Luke you don't know my whole story.." I speak in a hush voice.

"Then let me know the whole story, let me know you." He squeezes me a little tighter, but it was still gentle.

I huff out a shakey breath, "Luke I'm-I just. I mean-"
