You're My Rose (Niam Soulmate AU) (Boyxboy)

IX

Niall's P.O.V:

"Mum! Can I uhm...talk to you?" I said from behind my mother as she stood by the kitchen sink.

"Of course, hun!" She turned around with a bright smile and sat on the chair opposite me at the small kitchen table.

"Well...so you know Liam?"

"Yes! He seems lovely." Her grin extended.

"Well..uhm...I have a date with him this week."

Her smile dropped. "Oh. Well, that's great but...what about..." She trailed off at the end of her sentence, but we both knew what she was talking about.

"I don't really know." I sighed."Liam accepts my situation. It's not like a relationship is guaranteed after one date, right?"

"No, but what if Liam does want that?"

"I haven't figured that out yet..."

My mother gave me a weak, pitying smile. "I'll make you some tea. You go head upstairs, hun. You have a hell of a lot to think about."

I nodded, slowly got up and shuffled to my bedroom in my fluffy winter slippers. Once I got to my room, I fell on my bed and let out a loud, frustrated sigh.

Liam deserved someone amazing. Someone who would love him and not be afraid of it. Someone who he didn't have to wait for. But I did love him. At least, I thought I did... What I loved most were his chocolate brown eyes. I also loved how he was around me: Kind, almost protective. His voice was melodic to my ears and I could never get enough of hearing it. His hair looked so luscious and smooth I wanted to run my fingers through it. I loved the little birth mark he had on his neck, I wanted to kiss it. I wanted to kiss him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. If I did, he would assume things and I'm not sure I wanted that.

I heard a quiet knock at my already open door.

"I have tea." My mum said from the doorway and began walking towards me as I sat up. She passed me the mug of warm tea and sat at the foot of my bed.

"Do you love him?"

"Yes.I think so."

"Well, then I guess the date will help you decide on that, hmm?" She asked.

"I just can't help thinking that he deserves someone who he doesn't have to wait for, someone who doesn't hide it, you know?"

She nodded slowly. "Just see how it goes. If you both want a relationship, then great. If that goes further and you're the one, Liam's rose will have grown, so he doesn't necessarily need to see your one."

"I-I guess." I sighed yet again. "But what if he wants to?"

"I think he'll respect your choice, as he does now. If you want to remove that bandage, you can. Nobody is going to question you. It won't be as if you disappointed someone." She gave me an encouraging look.

"No. At least-Definitely not now."

"Just think : How much do you love him?"

~A/N: This chapter was boring and short,sorry! But I needed people to know Niall's thoughts, as they are a bit more tilted in Liam's favour now. The next chapter shall be longer :) I did my first three hours of the English Lit exam, it was actually all right. But I hate Shakespeare, like, I have respect for him but I hate studying his work :( On a more positive note, Thank you so much @NiamGotMeLike for your comments, ily :) ❤❤❤ ~
