“Do you like it, Niall?” my mom asked.
“Blike ith? I blobev itch.” His mouth was full of my mom’s bolognese fries. It really is delicious but she makes it pretty often so I get a little bored of eating that thing. And yes, now you know his name. Niall. Short for Niall James Horan.
“Ew, you’re disgusting!” I said with a laugh coming after. And plus it’s not polite to talk with your mouth full of food, especially in front of your parents. Well, my mom is not his parent but she still is a parent anyway.
“Well, at least I’m still that charming boy.” Niall said, taking another fries from the plate.
“So, do you like it, Mr. Horan? I did not get what you said before.” Mom asked with this tone that she always uses when she needs to repeat something she said before.
“Sorry, it’s just really good that I can’t stop eating it. Seriously, what did you put to that sauce and how do you-“
I stepped on his foot to shut him up. “Hey! I told you to ask me to shut up, not to step on my foot," Niall said as he glared at me. "Anyway, I love it, Mrs. Carlisle.”
He smiled innocently like a little boy. It really made him look like a little boy actually. Maybe he looked like that when he was eight.
Mom returned the smile and said, “Ah, it’s because you just love food very much, Mr. Horan.” She winked and went upstairs.
It was a long silence until I said his name. “Niall.”
“Yeah?” His eyes which have been looking through the window, finally met my brown eyes. His blue eyes were tired and serious at the same time. Well, I wasn’t going to say something serious, boy. Then maybe my voice sounded too serious. Or tired that he’s concern. Wait, why would he be concern about me?
“What’s up? I mean, not like that kind of what’s up, I mean why didn’t you stay at home after school? Your mom got kicked out of the lifegroup?”
“No. Why would my mom got kicked out? It’s just- There’s someone, Cate.”
“Someone? Let me guess, your mom got a new boyfriend. Huh, they eventually will break up later like those dudes before, Niall.”
Niall’s dad left Niall and his mom last year and since then, his mom is looking for someone that can replace the husband and father figure.
“No.” His eyes got more serious. It’s weird. He used to talk a lot and now he just sat there like a statue.
I took his hand and said, “Hey, you can tell me anything, Niall. As always.”
His eyes looked hard on the table. He might just dont want to see my face because he might cry. Of course, I understood. What I didn’t get is that he never looked like this since when he found out that his dad left with no reason.
“17 years ago, before my mom was pregnant with me, my dad- He- He went to a party and got drunk and made love with this random woman. Apparently, the woman took his wallet and of course, she knew his name and address. A few months later, she mailed my dad, telling him that she was pregnant and stuff. It’s a long story and I know you dont like hearing long stories so the point is I have a brother. From another mother.”
I sat there in silence, trying to process the words to my brain. Niall has a brother from another mother. “And I guessed that your mom just knew about this, too? And this random woman with her son just came knocking on your door?”
“You are indeed very clever, CeCe,” He smiled faintly, faking of course. So what's up with this 'brother'? Why was he avoiding him? I mean, not really avoiding but clearly Niall didn't really like him. “Well, almost. The woman’s name was Annabelle Hemmings with her son, Luke Hemmings. Annabelle died in a car crash two months ago. Luke just found out about me, my mom, and my- well, our dad couple of days ago so Luke decided to fly here from Australia. In case you’re wondering what Luke looks like, he sort of looks like me with his blonde hair and blue eyes. But, I’m still more handsome than him.”
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes. “What’s up with you and Luke, huh?”
“I dont know. My mom’s been so nice to him lately. I mean, yesterday he was just a complete stranger on my doorstep. What if he was lying? Geez, why didn’t I think about that befo-“
“Niall.” He stopped talking and covered his face with his hands. “You’re acting a little childish, okay? I get that you’re upset because you just knew that you have a freaking brother. For goodness sake, you just need some time to accept all of this, Niall. It’s gonna be fine. Your mom still loves you. Don’t be so selfish, that Luke guy has never met your dad and he will never. Plus, his mom just died!” I accidentally raised my voice.
“You know what, you will never get me, Cathleen. You will never get me. Never.” He looked at me with those sad blue eyes and then he leaned in and I think he almost kissed me. I yanked back, surprised. He stood up, opened the front door and said without looking at me, “It’s getting late. Tell your mom thanks for the goddamned fries, I’m leaving.”
