Silently in Love [Niall Horan]

Chapter Eight

Two days later, my mother woke me up by shoving cake in my face.

Happy Birthday, she signed excitingly. I glared at her as I sat up, wiping cake off my face. She grinned and handed me a small box.

What's this?

She shrugged and gestured for me to open it. When I did, there was nothing in there. I looked up at her and she shrugged again.

Is this a joke? Are you trying to be funny?

Yeah, a little bit. Your real present is downstairs. Go get a shower and then you can come down and get it.

I pushed the covers off of me when she left and went in the bathroom. I can't believe she shoved cake in my face.

After getting a shower and washing cake off my face, I got dressed. I put my hair in a ponytail as I walked down the stairs. I stopped when I saw Niall.. and the rest of his friends.

He ran up to me and hugged me, lifting me up off the ground. I was blushing when he finally put me down. I saw the other boys sign a 'happy birthday' to me and I almost laughed, mostly because Zayn and Louis completely messed it up.

I surprised them by pulling them all in a hug. When I let go, my mother guided me to the living room, showing me my actual present, a new laptop. I hugged both of my parents before picking up the box.

I know much you wanted a new one so me and your father bought you a new one.. please don't drop it down the stairs.

That was one time!

She smiled and shook her head, You were watching Teen Wolf.

It's the only show that has subtitles that I actually like, I signed back.

Alright, alright. Niall also has a surprise for you so if you want, you can go with them. I'll put your present in your room.

I nodded and looked at Niall as he grabbed my hand. "Well come on."

I waved to my parents as I walked out the door. Where are we going?

Surprise.

I frowned and Niall hugged me closer to him, You'll like it.

Have you been practicing sign language more? We can almost have a full conversation.

He shrugged and blushed, I just wanted to talk to you more.

I leaned up and kissed his cheek before getting in the car. Louis tapped me on the shoulder and when I turned to him, he gestured for me to hand my phone. Confused, I handed it to him.

A few minutes later, he handed it back to me and I saw that I had four new contacts. He put all their numbers in my phone. My phone vibrated and I looked down at it, seeing a text form Louis.

We can talk now!! Niall's been trying to teach us sign language but until we can have a full conversation, we can just text.

Oh.. you didn't have to do that. I can read lips.. but thank you.

No problem :p Niall seems to like you so i figured that all of us can get to know each other more.

I playfully shoved him and I saw him smile as he laughed. The other boys looked at us and I saw Louis' mouth move, probably explaining why he was laughing.

I looked out the window for a few minutes before the car stopped. Niall smiled and grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the car.

Rollerskating?

Niall looked confused and I realized he must've not learned those words yet. So I just messaged him. When he read it, he smiled and nodded, pulling me along.

Later that day when the boys dropped me off, my mother greeted me at the door.

So.. are you and that boy dating?

I shook my head quickly and went in the kitchen, seeing another cake. I made a new one since the other one got destroyed.

I wonder how..

She smiled and went to get a knife. As she was cutting a piece, my father came in. He hugged me and stole a piece of cake off my plate.

As I was saying.. you and that boy?

We're not dating.

Not yet.

Not ever, I signed.

Trust me, she signed, you may think that now, but that boy obviously likes you and it'll only be a matter of time before you two start dating.

so here's the new chapter after 84,000 years, I'm really sorry. I had writer's block and literally everything bad that could happen to me, has happened so I've been feeling a bit out of it lately. And yeah I know I skipped them at the rollerskating place but nothing really eventful happened so.. yeah. I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
