That's When I Saw You {Neth Fanfic}

30. Happy Birthday

Beth's POV

Even after everything that had happened this morning, Niall was still rushing around, rather secretively may I add. He was constantly rushing upstairs to have a phone call with someone, and he'd close the door so I couldn't hear what he was saying. I must admit, it actually did scare me, he's never kept anything from me before, and never been so careful for me not to find out. Even though I knew he would never cheat on me, I couldn't stop the thought wandering through my mind occasionally.

Tamsin and Josie weren't answering there phones either, and any reply that I did get from them was equally as ambiguous, things like "I can't chat now, I'm busy." or "I'll tell you later." They're planning something, and I'm not sure if I should be skeptical or not.

It came to about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and by now I really had no clue of what I should do. I resorted to just going on my phone and giving Niall the same treatment he was giving me, just blanking him until he feels like telling me whats going on. He suddenly walked into the spare room, leaning on the doorframe and watching me as I scrolled down my Facebook and tried my hardest to ignore him.

"Hello?" He said, cocking his head to one side to attempt to get my attention, "Bethy?"

I didn't answer him, just carried on scrolling down. He huffed, lying down on the floor next to me, leaning on his elbows as he looked directly at me.

"Beeeeth..." He whined, "I have a surprise for you."

Even though it sparked my interest, I refused to give in to his trick. He could easily have been lying just to get me to pay attention to him. He must have noticed something in my face that showed interest though, because he smiled and moved closer and kept trying.

"Well if you want to find out what it is, go and get dressed in something nice, and meet me in the kitchen in 20 minutes."

He didn't say anything else, but calmly stood up and left the room. I locked my phone and put it down in my lap, considering my options. I really shouldn't give in to this, but I am really curious.

I listening carefully for Niall, and quietly got up and snuck into the living room to have a look at what I had. I was sure that I only had the gross painting clothes from before, but there was a duffle bag in the middle of room, with a note on top. I read it:

So I see that your curiousity got the better of you.

I thought that would be the case ;)

The girls sent some of your clothes over here, so you can wear something out of this.

I suggest the green one.

Nialler xx :)

I giggled at the messily scribbled note, and put it on the floor and unzipped the bag. I pulled out a bag with some underwear in it, accompanied by a lovely, green, dress. It had a strap to go over one shoulder and ending just above the knee. I smiled to myself, once again looking out to make sure Niall wasn't around.

I ran upstairs to the bathroom to get change and put a light amount of makeup on. Just as I was about to finish, I heard a light knock at the door.

"So you are coming?"

"Ugh, yes Niall! Ok?" I answered frustratedly.

"Ok fine! Calm yourself!" He said in defense, "I'll start the car."

I came down the stairs soon to find Niall at the bottom, typing something rapidly on his phone. He was dressed in a smart tux with his hair styled into a perfect quiff. Once he saw me coming down, he put his phone away hastily, then looked up to scan me up and down.
