Loving Niam (BOYXBOY) (COMPLETED)

Part 34: Niall's POV

"I like you Liam. I know I do. How much I am not sure. But enough to fight for you, protect you, look after you and be independent whilst awaiting you. I like you enough to know I want to be with you, even though I have never dated another guy. I like you enough to know that despite not believing in love at first sight or whatever, I still like you. And I like you enough to know that I want to give this a shot. I am sorry to have been an idiot but that is what idiots do right, when they like someone? You do not have to like me very much. Just keep, keep your heart open for me, will you?".

I said it unflinchingly. However, now that I was done, what do I do? Liam was not responding either. Just then, the waitress came by with our hot drinks in a take- away cup. I really enjoy hot drinks in a take-away cup, a boy must do what a boy must.

Liam withdrew his hands slowly and was about to speak when my damn phone rang. HEY. WHAT THE FUCK AGAIN!

I answered it only to hear Zayn on the other line. "I am really sorry boys but where you all? It is going to be 1pm. You guys got to come back.". I grunted in response and hung up. I looked at Liam who saw his watch and jumped up immediately.

"It is ok. You run along first. I will pay for the drinks and come too. Ok?" I told Liam who nodded gratefully and ran off. My shoulders just slumped when he left. Really boy, no thank you kiss?

I grabbed the drinks and went to the counter, only to be waved away by the waitress who was apparently a big fan which means I just scored free drinks. I decided to make my way to the studio. I went in and saw that the boys had already commenced rehearsal. I sat down on the bean bags provided and watched them. It was my first time watching them and to be honest, it was very exciting and fun. No wonder, Rebecca went cray over them. Especially when Zayn lowered his voice sensually or the way Harry moved onstage. Ok, this was getting to me. Where is my boy? I looked around only to see him walking onstage, belting his lines. He sounded so good! Oh wow, maybe I am being biased but they were good. Which reminded me, maybe they let me bring Rebecca along one day.

I smiled and closed my eyes for a bit, letting Liam's voice wash over me.

"He is sleeping?"

"Are we that boring?"

"Did he even hear us?"

"Oh, this drink is good"

I jumped at that last voice. "Hey! That's my latte!" I said and stared at Louis determinedly. The boys broke out laughing at me. I sat up, back feeling all sore and realized that I had fallen asleep on the beanbags. Liam bent down and looked at me.

"Are you ok? I am sorry our rehearsal overran."

"Overran? What you talking about? I just closed my eyes for like 5 mins". Harry snickered. "If by 5 minutes, you mean 9pm, sure, you only slept for 5 mins".

"9pm?! It's 9pm already! Oh shit". I jumped up. Liam held onto me, grinning. "It is ok. Your phone was ringing earlier. I have already told Rebecca you may be spending it with us as rehearsal will end late so you are all covered".

I relaxed then and looked at the boys. Damn Louis was still drinking my latte. Zayn tried to flatten my hair and Harry just smiled at me wolfishly before hurrying off to clean up with Josh. I looked at Liam who was still holding onto me. "Give me a while and we leave ok? I cook dinner once we are home".

I nodded and broke away from him. He scuttled off with Louis to clean. Zayn just hung around to tell me, "I am glad you told him. Just take care of him ok? He is always looking out for us. I just want him to be looked after too". I smiled at Zayn.

I could not promise the world to Liam but that I can. I plan to look after him, just like I know he will once I knew where I stood with him. I groaned inwardly and Zayn just laughed at me. "I take it he has not confessed, right?". I just groaned again and saw Zayn walking off, snickering.
