Paul Higgins Is My Adopted Father?

Didn't Think That One Through Now Did I??

*NEXT MORNING*

Niall's POV

I knock on Harry's door and he welcomes me in. I go in and sit on his desk chair. "What's up Nialler?" He asks putting down his phone that he was using. "I wanted to talk to you about, Emma" I said really nervous. What if he took it the wrong way? I don't want to lose a brother over a girl. Not even Emma. "What about her?" He asks getting curious. I could tell that I was on dangerous waters just by the look in his eyes. "Well um, I kinda feel something for her. I know you like her too so I really don't know what to do" I say trying to lay it down lightly but I knew that it bothered him. "Oh, erm, um, really?" He said not really sure about where to go with the conversation.

"You like her? More than a friend. Why are you telling me this?" He asks me trying to keep calm, but his eyes were going more of a dark green. "Because I-I wanted to let you know that I really like her and I don't really feel comfortable with her on your lap." I said looking at the ground. "How do you think I felt when she kissed you?!" He exclaimed. "You dared her to kiss me on the lips! So that clearly meant that you wanted me too!" I shouted. He shakes his head and said "I knew she would say no!" He replies and I knew this was getting really heated. "All I'm saying is that I'm not going to give up on her" I said and walked out, I heard him mutter "But I'm better so I'll win" I resisted smashing his face in then.

Furiously I grab my keys and I hear someone come down the stairs. I look and see Emma. She looked like she was crying. She wasn't anymore, but she had defiantly been. "Where you going?" She asks stopping at the stairs. "Starbucks, why were you crying?" I ask. Ignoring my question, she asks me "Can I come? I need some caffeine" I nod and open the door. I let her out first and we go into my car.

*skipping car ride*

We arrive at Starbucks and I get her to order so I don't get noticed. "What do you want?" She asks me. "Anything strong" I say and she nods. I grab us a booth and I wait for the drinks. She arrives with the drinks, "How much did the coffee's cost?" I ask her and she shrugs saying "Yours cost about 3 euro why?" I get out the money and hand it to her. "You didn't need to pay me back. It was only 3 bucks" I shrug and she smiles. "You didn't answer my question earlier" I state and she raises and eyebrow. "Why were you crying earlier?" I repeat the question and she shrugs. "It doesn't really matter much." She wasn't going to tell me without a fight. I could see the stubbornness in her eyes, "If it made you cry then it certainly matters to me." I say and she rolls her eyes. "I overheard a bit of your conversation before the truth or dare game." Oh, shit.

"So you know that Harry thinks you're fit" I joke and she laughs. "Yeah, that's why I asked about it." I laughed again thinking about how embarrassed Harry was answering that. "But I also heard that Liam, Lou and Zayn hate me" She mumbles. I choke on my coffee, but force myself to swallow, the mouthful. "Liam and Zayn don't mind you, Lou just takes pranks to heart." I say trying to make her feel better. Those boys will be getting a kick where the sun don't shine later. "I heard the conversation Niall. Zayn has already made me feel better." Good, now Zayn will only get a slap, for making her feel better.

"Well after the game, Liam said that you're growing on him, so keep being your awesome self and you'll be fine." I say and she blushed, it's so cute when she does. We finish our drinks, and we get up to leave. We walk out and get back into the car. To make it even better the radio played "Little Things" It was the chorus before my solo and Emma was looking at me smiling. I take a breath before singing:

You never love yourself half as much as I love you

You never treat yourself right darlin'

But I want you to

If I let you know, I'm here for you

Maybe you'd love yourself like I love you oh,

She looks at me with her jaw slacked. I laughed and she pulls herself together. "I sing that bad do I?" I tease and she shakes her head speechless. "Too good" I think she whispered. I roll my eyes and park the car in the driveway of the mansion. "Thanks for the coffee, it was an amusing experience." I say and she laughs. "I enjoyed it too" I deliberate, kissing her, and decide to settle kissing her on the cheek. I blush and say "I gotta go, the boys are probably waiting for me at the studio." I say and go back into the car.
