My Secret Heart

Chapter 4

I woke up the next morning, refreshed from some time alone.I had time to think things through about the boys. I would just have to keep holding back every bit of me for the next couple months. That's all it amounted to. I got up out of bed and sent Lou a quick text, 'Hey(: I am up. What's the plans for today?'.

I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I heard my phone ring as I got a text message. I finished in the bathroom and heading back to my vanity, to check my phone and finish getting ready, for the long day planned ahead of me.

Lou texted me back 'Hey Ducky, goodnights rest? The boys and I are heading to the donut shop down town, meet us there in 15?' I typed a quick reply 'Yup be there'.

Ugh this day was going to be long and hard. I opened my closet and picked out a outfit of jeaned shorts with a simple teal blue shirt, and my vans. I put my blonde hair into a loose braid to the side, and apply the usual, natural looking makeup. I grabbed my purse, picking my phone and keys up, on the way out the door.

I turned on the radio in the car and Cher Lloyd's 'Want U Back' came on, and I started singing along. I parked my car outside of the donut shop and headed inside. I didn't see them. Why aren't they here? Then I saw Niall up at the front desk looking at all the donuts. I walked up there rolling my eyes.

"Oh hey Maggie! I am just trying to figure out which one to get. There are so many to choose from" he glanced up at me with a smile and back down to the donuts.

"Yeah it's a hard decision, sometimes" I replied back.

"I wish I could just get all of them!" he said with a sad look on his face. He was funny.

"What one are you getting" he asked me.

"I think this one" I pointed to the one that was covered in chocolate. It had the cream filling inside. Those kind were my favorite. None of my other friends liked the filling ones, it made no sense to me, they were so good!

"Oh! The cream filled ones are my favorite!" he said looking exited

"No way! Mine too! All of my other friends hate that kind and I'm like how is that even possible!" I replied back shocked I found someone who loves them just as much as I did.

"Me too! We should both get some of those! And we can rub in the boys faces" he looked at me and then back at the donuts. I didn't know what we were rubbing in their faces, but it involved food, and some of my favorite kind, at that, so I was in.

"Ok sounds good lets order!" I told him.

Niall looked at the cashier and started ordering his breakfast.

"I will have four of the chocolate glazed cream filled donuts, and she will take" I cut him off.

What was he thinking! Why was he getting my food?! And why was he getting four donuts!?

"What are you doing?!" I asked him.

"Ordering your food, what else does it look like?" he looked at me with that same bright smile.

"What, why?" I asked him. But he didn't respond and just returned to ordering the food.

"And she will take three of the same kind." he told the cashier, while he went to go rap the donuts for us. Did he just order me three donuts? What was this kid, a elephant!? I thought I ate allot but apparently not!

"Niall why did you order me three, I can't eat all those" I tried to explained to him.

"Yes you can, and if you cant, well then I can!" he said as he payed and grabbed our bag of freshly rapped, favorite donuts. Did he just say 'yes you can'. Who does he think he is? Does he think he knows me? Well let me tell you he doesn't, this was my first time ever having a real conversation with him!

He lead me to the table where the boys were which was in the back corner of the shop. No wonder why I couldn't see them. Niall sat down to the right of Liam, and I sat down next to him.

He pulled out the donuts and the boys look shocked.

"Niall, you got" he paused to count the donuts "7 donuts!?" Liam asked.

"You usually eat allot, but not this much!" the curly haired one said, Harry, was his name, I think. I was getting their names kind of right now.

"Calm down guys, some are for Maggie" Their mouth dropped they all stopped chewing their food and stared at Niall. Why were they so shocked?

"Niall you never share food." Zayn said.

"I'm not sharing food I just bought her meal for breakfast" he explained taking a drink of the water Louis water. Liam nudged Niall when he said this. Why were all the boys acting so weird? I looked at Lou and he was wiggling his eyebrows at Niall. Why were they being so weird?!

Niall handed me my donuts and we started eating. There wasn't much conversation going on, as we all were enjoying our breakfast.

When we all got done eating Niall and I went to go throw the trash away. As he was shoving the trash in the trash can, I started to stumble over my words.

"H...hey Niall, thanks for getting my food for me today" I said looking straight in his eyes, when he turned around.

"Anytime!" he said with that adorable smile. I couldn't help my wonder why he paid for my food. So I decided to ask.

"U..umm.. Just curious but why did you do it?" I asked kinda shyly.

"Well, because you seem really cool! I really want to get to know you more" he said. He was so sweet! He made me smile a real smile, just like Louis did.

"Aww" I said with a huge smile.

"Thanks! You seem really awesome as well" I told him.

We were both looking straight into each others eyes. I felt like it was only me and him. Was I? Did I? No I couldn't. I caught myself and looked away.

"So what else are we doing today?" I asked trying to make it not awkward.

"I don't know, let's go ask the crazy people over at that table" he pointed at our table. We both laughed a little and headed back to the table.
