Keeping Secrets {Sequel To Mr. Styles}

Chapter 3

Lexi's POV

I told Niall to stay away for a moment, causing his smile to falter as I saw Kate, and I knew it was her for sure, laugh and smile at Mr. Styles, their hands above the table and him holding onto hers, a genuine smile on her lips, when I haven't seen in so long.

"What's wrong?" Niall asked.

"Um, you know what...nothing." Kate was happy, and her happiness meant the world to me, so I shouldn't disturb it. Plus I'm here with who makes me happy, Niall Horan.

"Are you sure? We could go somewhere that's less pressuring and-"

"Niall, I'm fine. This is already amazing. Just say what you need to say to me," I knew my happiness wouldn't last long, but he is mine, at least until he ends it.

He nodded, and opened his lips to speak but a Lady came over to the table and asked what we'd like to drink. Niall ordered a Coke and I got a water, Niall thinking about how he'd be able to have a beer back at home, then he got right to it.

Nail took my hands in his, looking me in the eyes after rubbing his thumbs on the back of my hands.

"Trust is a foundation in relationships." He said.

"I know, and I trust you, I do." I nearly pleaded. "I was just worried."

"Worried? About what? Since she's my ex that I'd still be attracted to her and leave you?" He let go of my hands now, his eyebrows raised and I had me as I looked down at my hands in my lap. I shrugged, expecting him to get up and leave, ending it without any words, but he didn't.

"Lexi," Niall started, " I dated Melissa for a week, that was before I found out she was crazy obsessed with me like, she wrote fanfiction about us. She was clingy, not in a good way, and sure she's pretty, but then I met you, and you blew me away the moment I saw you."

My eyes met his again, wondering what he saying, I'm getting mixed signals here. Is Niall going to break up with me yet or not?

"So is this your way of telling me you're done with me?"

"What?" Niall asked cluelessly.

"Because trust is a foundation in a relationship and you don't think I have any-"

"That's not what I said, and if you think I'm breaking up with you, you're mistaken, because I'm keeping you as mine for as long as I can Lexi."

I'm sorry that I've been taking forever and a year to update, but I figured that I have a few extra seconds right now so I probably should post an update. I'll try and update regularly but I can't promise! Anyways, please enjoy chapter 3!
