Keeping Secrets {Sequel To Mr. Styles}

Chapter 2

Lexi's POV

"Hey Lexi," I was reluctant to answer Niall's call, only answering because I missed his voice since I was taking my time to cool off and realized I overreacted.

"I'm sorry," I said as fast as he finished my saying name.

"For....thinking Melissa and I still had a thing and ignoring me?"

I sighed, "For both." Niall didn't reply quickly, I only heard his breathing, and continued. " if you two aren't a thing, I should believe you. And I shouldn't have ignored you...I missed you," I mumbled the last part. It's been a couple days since Nile and I ran into his ex-girlfriend, and the days between till now, I've been avoiding him in class and over the phone.

"I missed you too" he was quiet for a second and I waited for him to say anything else, if he still wanted to be my boyfriend or if we should stop because I don't trust him was the only thing I'm worried about. " but whatever happened, it's past us and you know I'm not still attracted to Mel or anything..." i'm not it to myself, momentarily forgetting he can't see me and mumbled a 'yeah okay'. "Can I take you out tonight?"

I smiled, my heart taking off, "Niall, you've already done so much, you don't have to do anymore."

"No, Lexi, this isn't just to treat you out, although that's my main purpose, but I want to take you out because, well, I want to talk about us. Like... I don't know, everything?"

Oh, wow, okay

"Um, yeah sure." Tonight he ends whatever there was between us, that's definitely what he's doing.

"Yeah, okay, be ready by seven and I'll come around yours to pick you up, dress nice okay?"

"Yeah."

"Bye babe." Still makes my heart flutter.

****

I wore my knee length dress that I've owned for years, only being approved by dad because it was for a formal family get together, but I've grown sense so it's shorter on me.

Niall had knocked on my door wearing a plain white button up and black jeans, a single red rose in his hands as my dad open the door and nearly jumped at him.

The greeting between them was quick, so I was quick to leave the house and walk down to Nialls car, he open the door for me, and soon enough, we were on the road headed to the restaurant.

****

I stepped out of the car grabbing Niall's hand and watching the valet take his car away, then Niall led us inside.

He had reserved a table, saying that the place was packed and full of older ladies and gentlemen all dressed up, more than we were, but I ignored them and the pressure still holding on to Nialls hand. He gave a reassuring squeeze as we were led to the table and seated across from each other.

"You know, I really like you Lexi," Niall said his voice trailing off.

"And the feelings are exchanged." I smiled and earned one back from him.

My eyes trail behind Niall, sing a familiar brunette with a curly brown headed one.

I nearly squinted when seeing who I didn't expect to see.

Is that....is that Kate and Styles?
