Hidden Secrets

Chapter 4

Talia's POV:

"Wait" I heard Louis call out. I turned around to see both boys standing up and looking at us both. "Why don't you guys come sit with us, I know you guys probably don't want to, actually don't worry about it you guys probably want to be alone, forget I even asked." Louis kept rambling on, playing with his fingers, I could tell he was nervous.

"Sure we'd love to come sit with you guys, let me just go grab our things and we'll be right back." I quickly replied to him to save him from any further humiliation and embarrassment.

I grabbed my dance bag and Stella's backpack before heading back to their table where they had both sat down on one side of the table so Stella and I could sit on the other. I sat Stella down in her seat before putting our bags on the chair on the other side of me and sitting down across from Harry.

"So tell me a little about yourself, your name, your hobbies, where your from, because by up your accent I can tell you don't live around here" Harry asked once I had sat down. He obviously didn't want it to be awkward so he quickly started a conversation.

"My names Talia Long and I'm 19 almost 20 years old, my birthdays the 12th of September and I'm originally from Australia, moved to Ireland when I was 9 and then moved back to Australia three years ago. My hobbies include dance and pretty much dance." I gave them a quick introduction of myself.

"That's cool. I couldn't help but mention the fact you said you lived in Ireland, where did you live there?" Louis asked me.

"When I first moved to Ireland I lived in Dublin before moving to Mullingar when I was 11" I replied.

"Wow, did you ever know Niall Horan? He lives in Mullingar too and I just thought maybe you would have known him from school maybe or something" Harry kept going on with the questions about Ireland and I was kinda hoping they'd stop soon before something slips out.

"Yeah I did know Niall, he was in the year above me at school, I didn't know him, know him, like I wasn't friends with him but we still knew each other" I had to get them off the topic of Ireland so I quickly changed the subject. "What about you guys why don't you tell me about yourselves?"

"Um where do I start? Okay so my names Harry Styles, I'm 20 years old, my birthdays the 1st of February, I'm from Holmes Chapel and my hobbies include touring the world with my four best friends and singing, over to you Louis" he finished looking between Louis and I as if trying to ask me if that was alright and to tell Louis to hurry up and talk.

"Alrighty, so I'm Louis Tomlinson, 22 almost 23 years old, birthdays the 24th of December, I'm from Doncaster and my hobbies are singing and touring the world. That sums me up. What about you miss Stella, how old are you?" He introduced himself before directing the last question the Stella.

"I'm three" she told the boys holding up three fingers in front of her face.

They boys had a small conversation with Stella and not too long after our food came. Before I went to eat my food I quickly checked the time on my phone to see how much longer we had before we had to leave. The time read 12:15 and we had to leave by 12:45 to make it back to the theatre before 1. Whilst check the time I realised I had four messages one from my mum, one from Edmund, one from Steve and another from my fiancé. I quickly read them all just making sure they weren't important.

From: Mother

Hey Talia, I was just messaging you to make sure everything is alright over there and that your getting on fine with you brother and you haven't gotten up to too much trouble. How's Stella enjoying herself? I miss all three of you so much I can't wait for you guys to come home. Good luck for your first show tonight I'm sure you're going to be great. I love you Talia and tell Stella and Edmund as well, I'll talk to you soon. Goodbye for now Talia.

From: Steve

Hey everyone, I'm just letting you guys know that I won't need you back until 1:30 now as I have a few more things to go over with Brooke-Lynn and Lucas then first thought. I'll see you all then, Steve.

From: Edmund

Hey just making sure you got the message from Steve about starting later and I was just wondering where you guys were.

From: Your Sexy Fiancé

Hey baby, just checking up on you and Stella I know it's probably late at night back in Australia but I just thought I'd see how your going. Anyway thanks for the tickets to the ballet I can't wait to see it, if any of them are as good as you I'm sure it's going to be a great show. I can't wait till this tour is over so I can come see you and Stella, I miss you both so much. I love you baby and stay safe, the both of you, I'll see you soon, bye baby.

I decided against texting everyone back until I'd finished my lunch except Edmund, just to tell him that I did get the message and that I was at Nandos.

"So Talia what are you doing in London?" Harry asked trying to keep the conversation going.

"Uh I'm actually touring the UK at the moment with the Sydney Dance Company." I shared with the boys.

"That's so cool, I think Niall said something to us about going to the show, we weren't doing anything that day so I think he ended up getting us all tickets. It sounds like a good show." Louis informed me.

"It will be a good show, I hope you guys like it."

"We sure will like it, I've always liked watching dance performances." Louis replied.

I took a look at Stella and realised that she had fallen asleep. I checked the time on my phone and realised it was 1. I decided to head back to the theatre now so I could let Stella sleep and I could text everyone back without annoying the boys.

Looking back at the boys I said "hey I have to go back to the theatre now, it was nice meeting you guys, I hope I see you at one of the shows."

"Yeah it was nice to meet you too, I hope to see you around, bye" Harry replied.

I stood up and gathered my bag and Stella's bag before picking up Stella and starting to walk out of Nandos saying one last goodbye to the boys.
