Coffee

Chapter 4

"This is your home?"Niall asked me as we stepped foot into my apartment.

"Yeah,"I replied as I showed him my apartment.

He held an amused face as he saw my apartment. He was looking through my shelf of books when he found something amazing.

"You like dancing?"he asked me.

Oh no, I don't want anybody to know this except for Sarah and my parents. I guess I have to.

"Yeah, but please keep it a secret,"I begged him.

"Why don't you want to tell the world you can dance?"he asked again.

Is this 20 questions or what?

"I guess I have to tell you,"I sigh.

*flashback*

10 years ago(Olivia will be 8)

I was waiting for my ballet class to start when Miss Popular walked in. She was the rich girl, always bossing people around aka me and other people.

"Hey Olive oil, get me some water,"she bossed me.

I got up and get her a cup of water. I gave her the cup before the classed started. She didn't drink it but I just shrugged it off.

I realized that Miss Popular was staring at me as I did my exercises. In the middle of the lesson, my ballet teacher let us go for a break I was sitting on the bench when Miss Popular sat by me. I felt someone tap my shoulder from her direction and turned to face Miss Popular. Only to have water splashed at my face.

"You think you can dance huh?"she sneered. "Because from what I had seen, you looked like a fat pig dancing. Wait no, you're not even dancing! You should quit Olive oil. You're unwanted here,"she continued.

*flashback end*

"That year was the toughest for me. I didn't eat at all. I just felt insecure. I felt useless until I met Sarah, my best friend,"I told Niall.

"Gosh, that girl is mean. I hope I never bump into her,"he held a disgusted face and I giggled at his response.

When I looked at the time, I realized it was almost time for dinner. Niall also realized it too.

"Hey Olivia?"

I hummed in response.

"Do you...uh..Want to go out for dinner with me?"he asked me. "As friends. Just the two of us,"he added.

Dinner? Just me and Niall? This will be interesting.

"Sure, let me get ready,"I smiled.

I decided to wear something casual and threw on a crop top, flowered skirt and a black cardigan.

Niall then asked permission to drive my car and I allowed him. I was too lazy to drive, anyway. He drove us to a restaurant that wasn't so busy and we queued to be seated.

When we reached the front of the queue, I spotted Zayn.

"It's lovely to see just the two you here!"Zayn exclaimed.

Lovely? Two of us? What does that mean?

I nodded my head as he brought us to a table for two. I ordered a spaghetti with meatballs and a cappuccino. Weird combination, I know. Niall decided to order the same thing as me which I found awkward.

After we finished our food, we bid goodbye to Zayn and Niall drove me home. He walked me to the front of my apartment and we just stood in front of each other awkwardly.

Out of the blue, Niall started leaning in to me and I did too. I felt my heart flutter as I thought of the fact that we will kiss. It felt so right but so wrong. Before his lips could come into contact with mine, I turned my head so he will kiss my cheek.

"Uh..sorry,"Niall apologized.

"No worries Niall, we can't get to far. Friends?"I put out my pinky finger.

"Friends,"he confirmed with a weak smile as he locked his pinky with mine.

He kissed my cheek again before walking am towards the elevator. My heart fluttered at the contact of his lips on my cheek.

I quickly entered my apartment before jumping to bed. I recalled the events that happened today and the thought of it just made my heart flutter.

I can't be falling in love with Niall right? I only known him for two days.
