I'm yours to keep (A Niall Horan Fanfic) [ On Hold]

Part 9

The mere excitement for Matt's arrival made the coming week fly, until we had finally reached the weekend.

Morning love. I was woken up by a message from Niall. That's all that I needed to make my mood undeniably amazing. I pulled myself out of bed and ran to the washroom out of eagerness to meet Matt. I got up late, just giving me enough time to shower and then head over to the airport to pick Matt up. My phone started to ring as I got out of the shower, a cute picture of me and Niall popped up on the screen while "Free Fallin'" by John Mayer played in the back. Niall had gotten me hooked on that song after he sang it for me at lunch on Wednesday."Hey love" His sweet voice on the other end.

"Hello." I smiled just at the sound of his charming voice.

"What time is Matt getting in then?"

"At about 9. My mom can't come with me though so going to catch a taxi to the airport."

" Why don't I just drive you there?"

The thought of Niall driving me to get my brother from the airport without knowing that I hadn't mentioned "us" to Matt lingered in my mind for a while.

"Yeah sure. Definitely. Sure beats taking a taxi." I laughed

"So I'll pick you up in 20 then?"

"Yeah sure, hopefully I'll be ready by then, bye love."

"I'll see you then."

Maybe it wouldn't all blow up. Maybe Niall wouldn't mind that I hadn't told my family. He would understand. I had to stop thinking about it and get ready to leave. I pulled out my blue hollister top and put on my white shorts with my striped slippers. I jogged down the stairs to eat my waffles.

"Morning mom."

"Don't you have to leave to pick Matt up?"

"Niall's picking me up now. It'd be more fun to ride with him that a boring ol' taxi."

"Are you sure Niall doesn't have a thing for you?"

"Well, If you must ask, me and Niall have been dating for the last 2 weeks."

"And you thought you could just hide this from me?"

"Well, You and Matt get super protective about me dating, so you can't really blame me about not wanting you to know."

"I deserve to know these kind of things."

"I know, I know, Just don't mention any of this to Matt. I wanna just wait things out and then tell him." My phone began to buzz, it was Niall. "Okay, Now I gotta go, Love you"

I then left my house to see Niall standing outside his car waiting for me.

"Morning lovely." He smiled while holding the door open for me.

"Morning sweetheart."

I got into the car and then he started to drive towards the airport. It was about a 40 minute drive from my house to the airport.

"Crank that up! That's my jam!" I yelled as Hit the lights came on the radio. 

Niall started to sing along with me as I belted out the lyrics. 

"When does Matt leave? How long is he here for?"

"He's here for a week."

"Oh. Not too long. I was hoping to hang out with him while he was here .I can't Wait for us to go out with your brother. I was thinking that we'd all go out to dinner one night. Maybe Carly and all could join us?"

"Niall, I think maybe I should have mentioned this earlier but Matt doesn't know we're together. My mom does, but Matt doesn't."

We had reached and Niall parked. We started to walk towards the airport "What do mean he doesn't know?"

"As in I haven't told him."

"But why? I thought you guys were close." His voice trailed off with the last few words.

"He just gets really protective about me and he'd act extremely weird."

"We've been dating for about 2 weeks now, you can't possibly tell me that you didn't think of telling him. All brothers are protective."

I ended what seemed like our first fight when I seen Matt approaching us. I started to jog towards him and hugged him. I really missed Matt. Ever since our Dad died he had always been like the big brother turned father figure. He lifted me up in the air as he hugged me.

"How've you been?" He smiled as he asked and then his gaze shifted over to Niall. "Who's that?"

"That's Niall" I fumbled a bit. "He's my boyfriend." As I said boyfriend Niall smiled like we had instantly made up.

"For how long now?"

"A little more than 2 weeks. Do not grill him. I really really like him."

"Fine." Matt whispered to me.

Matt walked over to Niall. "Hey Niall, I'm Matt, Yolanda's brother." He gave Niall a hug but not a normal one. Those weird hugs that guys give other guys which I am completely sure I will never understand.

"Hey. How was your flight?" Niall gave him a warm smile. and instantaneously they were acting like they were best mates that hadn't met in a year. Matt went on and on about his crazy university stories while Niall gave out old stories that I hadn't even heard before! They hit it off. 

As we headed towards my house I noticed my mom waiting on the porch for Matt. Matt got out the second the car stopped and ran to hug mom. I gave a Niall a quick peck on the cheek before we got out keeping in mind that it may be awkward to kiss him in front of my mom and over protective brother. Not exactly a mood maker. We both then got out of the car.

"Hello Niall. How are you?" My mom smiled at Niall as she spoke. It scared me how open she had gotten to the idea since I left the house earlier.

"I'm good Ma'am. I should get going then." Niall gestured towards the car. "I'll see you tomorrow love?" He turned towards me before getting into the car after I nodded.

We walked into the house as Niall drove away. 

"So how've you been doing?" Matt started to walk upstairs with his suitcase while we followed him.

"It's been good here." Mom nodded as she said this,

Matt set his bag down on the wooden flooring in my room. And yanked out a Kings University hoodie and handed it to me. "I'm hoping you'll join me there once you're done with high school. London is great. It'd be great to pursue you're dance. We have a great.."

"I don't wanna talk about this. Can we please change the subject?" I cut him off. My dance career that had ended a very long time ago was not really what I wanted to talk about.

"But Yols, they have a great programme at the university." I stormed out of the room. I just didnt want them to push me for somethign I didnt want anymore.

My mom tried to follow me out but Matt told her to leave it.

I didnt want to dance anymore and they'll just have to live with that.

I went downstairs and put the T.V on. How I met your mother was on. I loved that show. Ted was adorable. My mind was still caught up with my memories of dancing. I had stopped a while ago. I just didnt want that anymore. No one could have made a better teacher for me. It all seemed worthless. I dont know why they try to push me so hard. I've made it clear that I didnt want to dance anymore. I had no idea what I wanted to do but I'm sure its not to dance. Definitely not. It brought back to many memories
