Forever and Always

Chapter 3

Niall's POV

"Kate please excuse me for two minutes, I be right back!", I said,smiling.

I got up and went out in the kitchen to get a cup of water. Lindsey was making pancakes. I love pancakes with maple syrup. Her hands were covered with dough, some flour was on her face, strand of hair was annoying her as she tried to put it behind her ear.

She noticed my appearance and said,"Oh! Hi .... will you umm... help me tie my hair, there is a hair clip kept over my bag. Please...".

"Yeah...hold on". I went to her room and got the clip. A photograph fell from her bag. There was a guy with her in the photo. I wondered who he was? Should I ask her about that guy? When I entered the kitchen, her back was towards me. "I brought your clip", I said in a low voice.

"Oh! Thank you", she smiled.

I tug her hair behind her ear. I could feel her shiver from my touch. Butterflies were flying in my stomach. Goosebumps were all over my body. I clipped her hair in her hair clip. She looked more better without the clip.

"Thank you", she smiled again.

I got a mug from the middle shelf and filled it water. I climbed on the counter and drank my water quietly. I watched the way she was struggling with pancakes.

"Do you need any help?", I asked her offering her a small smile. " Yeah actually... that would be great"

"Give it to me", I said and flipped the pancakes. In no time, the pancakes were ready to serve and eat.

" Let's get these on the dinning table",I said take the plate of pancakes outside. When I entered the kitchen, she was again struggling to open the know of the apron.

"Can I help?", I offered,taking two steps towards her.

She smiled and I turned her around. I pulled the know of the apron towards me causing Lindsey to take a step towards me. My chin was right above her shoulder. I bet she can feel my breathing on her warm shoulders. She closed her eyes. I could see her expressions on the glass door of the cabinet in front of her. My hands were shaking as I opened the knot of her apron.

"Done", I breathe out.

She thanked me and then hooded the apron neatly and kept it where it belongs. We went out in the hall.

"Bye Kate", Zayn said and we all waved to her goodbye.

Harry picked up the laptop and placed it on his lap. I guess he was going through her laptop and her personal shit. Lindsey served us pancakes with maple syrup. I just love pancakes. She asked Harry what was he doing with her laptop.

"I'm just going through 'our' folder", he said gesturing air quotes.

"What?",I asked him and looked at Lindsey. Her eyes widen.

"See this 'One Direction' folder", he came and sat with me showing the stuff on her laptop.

"You have so many photos and videos on us",I said in surprise.

"Yeah", she said agreeing and continued,"I wanted to learn more about your hairstyle and clothing style"

Lindsey's POV

"Tell us what is there in your directioner world?", Niall asked me with curiosity.

" Well, we i mean fans love to write fanficts about you guys. They are pretty good at their job"I said looking at my phone.

"Have you written any or read?", Zayn asks.

"Yeah, I have read some fanficts" I looked at them and continued, " but not written any",I lie. My annoying but sometimes sweet sister had dared me to write a fanfict about 'Niall Horan' and which i did but I didn't want to tell them about it.

"There is a famous fanfict of 'Harry Styles' which will soon be a book and a movie"

"Oh! Which one?", Harry asked with his eyes widen.

"After", I said and my phone rings.

"Sorry,its my mom. I need to take this", I said getting up from my chair and walking towards my room. I closed the door behind me and swiped to answer it.

"What?",I yelled as soon as I pressed the phone to my ear.

"Hey",he said.

"Don't you dare 'Hey' me... What do you want?", I tried to keep my voice as low as possible making sure they won't hear me.

"Lindsey,please listen to I'm really sorry. But-"

I interrupt by saying,"You are sorry? I'm mean seriously? ",laughing

" Yes,I mean. I love you Lindsey. Please forgive me. Please I love-"

I disconnected the phone before he could say anything else. I dropped the phone on my bed and sat down.

I rested my hands on my thighs and my chin in my palms. Warm tears came running down on cheeks and down to my corner of my lips. I could feel the salty taste entering and dissolving into my mouth.
