《Fate (Niall Horan - Completed)》TWENTY ONE

Advertisement

I regret leaving Niall's house this morning. I regret leaving his side. I should have just stayed. I should have just enjoyed the day with him. I should have left mum to Ethan and meet her on another day. This car ride just doesn't want to stop. Mum looks out of the window, deep in the thoughts, Ethan drives quietly and I try to keep my anger down and the fact that I am actually genuinely hurt. How can't she hate Niall, when she hasn't even met him yet? How can she be so sure that she doesn't like him, when she never talked to him in real life. It doesn't make sense. It makes me angry and hurt. Angry because of obvious reasons and hurt because of the same reasons. It makes me angry and hurts that my own mother doesn't like my boyfriend, who she never met before. It makes me angry and hurt that she forbid our relationship. I may be 18 already, but the approval of my parents are still important to me.

"Olivia." Ethan tears me out of my thoughts.

"huh?" I look up from my lap to him.

"Get out." He says and I realize that it's not just another red light, we arrived at the restaurant. Few paparazzi are outside and I know that I don't hate to text Niall and ask him where he is. I do as Ethan said and get out, just like he and mum do. An employee of the restaurant, gets into his car and drives it away. This is fancier that I thought, but I should be surprise since it was my mum who chose this restaurant. I quietly walk ahead of my brother and our mother and instantly smile when I get inside and see Niall in black suit. I always thought black suits are extremely hot and make every guy irresistible and seeing Niall is his, with his perfectly styled hair and cute smirk, only points out that I think right. Hot and irresistible are understatements. He comes to me and shyly kisses my lips. I missed his lips on mine.

"Niall!" Ethan exclaims and opens his arms. Niall and I pull apart from our very short kiss and even though we kissed before and made out in the past, we both blush as if it's the very first time that our lips go to meet each other. As if it's the first time, my heart starts to race and my body to heat up, because of his touch. Niall and Ethan pull apart and luckily Ethan takes a little bit of pressure of me and introduces Niall to my mother. "Mum, this is Niall." Ethan smiles brightly.

"Nice to meet you, Ms Reyes." Niall smiles and blushes even harder. He's so nervous and so adorable, I just want to hug and kiss him.

"Nice to meet you too, Niall." Mum smiles. It not fake and I wonder is she might changed her mind about Niall in the car. But maybe it's just the calm before the storm.

A woman comes over to us and smiles. Mum tells her her name and then she leads us to our table, mentioning that dad and Sarah are already here on the way. Dad and Sarah stand up as soon as they see us. Both smile, Sarah a little bit scared because it's the first time that she meet my mother in the two years she and dad are together.

"Olivia, Ethan, Emilia!" Dad exclaims and opens his arms. He hugs me, then Ethan and smiles at mum before his eyes land on Niall. I take my boyfriend's hand and dad's eyes widen. He knows that Niall exists and seems happy to finally actually meet him.

"This is Niall." I smile at dad and Sarah. "Niall this are my dad and Sarah, his girlfriend."

"Nice to meet you, Mr Hemmings." Niall and dad shake hands. "And... Sarah." Niall bites his lip. If he would know her last name, he would say her last name because that's polite.

"Nice to finally have a face too." Sarah smiles. Mum, Ethan and I take our jackets off while Sarah and dad sit down. Mum's wearing a nice black dress that goes to her knees and has square neckline. Niall gasps when he sees me in my dress. I instantly blush. Two nights in a row he now saw me in a dress, which is very unusual for me, since I'm more the jeans and shirt type of girl.

"You look..." Niall starts but is too speechless to finish his sentence.

"Breathtaking." Dad finishes for him. "And Emilia, you good great too." Dad smiles friendly at her.

"What about me?" Ethan forms a O with his mouth and is fake shocked.

"You too, my son." Dad smiles. Ethan smirks and we sit down at the table, mum and dad across from each other on each end of the table. Sarah is to dad's right and Ethan next to her. Niall sits across from Sarah and next to me.

A waitress comes to us and takes out drink orders after giving us the menu. Dad and Ethan drink white wine, mum red and Niall and I stick to coke with a lemon while Sarah only has water. Niall has to drive later and I have to drive Ethan and mum and Sarah has to drive dad.

"Niall are you sure you don't want to drink?" mum asks, not looking up from the menu.

"Yes, I have to drive." Niall smiles nervous.

"Are you sure? Not even one beer?" I want to kick my mum under the table for that question but she's my mum and I'm not three years old to get away with it.

"I'm sure." Niall smiles and I kiss his cheek. He lays his hand on my thigh and I put my hand on his. He is more nervous that he acts like he is and I know that because I feel the same. The waitress comes back with our drinks and takes out food order. I order something with chicken which name is too long that I already forgot it after telling the waitress. Niall, Ethan and dad take the steak and Sarah the hummer. Mum takes ratatouille after asking what the waitress recommendation would be and deciding to take something complete different.

"So how did you meet, Olivia and Niall?" mum asks after we all gave the menu cards that actually is like a book with six pages back to the waitress. Now she can't avoid looking at him, or it would be rude, so she smiles.

"I-I helped her carrying a box." He smiles at my mum and then at me. "And then we met at the library again and at a club and then on campus where I finally asked for her number." our eyes are locked to each other and I squeezes his hand a little.

"And how is it being on tour, Niall?" mum wants to know next.

"On tour?" Dad asks.

"Niall is one fifth of One Direction." Mum says before I can.

"Niall Horan?" Dad looks at Niall as if he's seeing a ghost.

"That's me, sir." Niall looks down, blushes as if he's ashamed for being in the biggest band on earth. As if it's bad to me him. Dad face turns white and his eyes widen. He takes a deep breath and drinks his white wine to the half.

"So how is it?" Sarah breaks the awkward silent with her cheerful, excited and curious voice.

"It's great, seeing the fans and traveling around the world. It's great." Niall smiles proud of his job. I smile even brighter proud my boyfriend.

"But you can't spend much time at home, with your family or friends, can you?" mum asks and looks at Niall curious and waiting that he says something wrong.

"I can't but when I can, I try to spend as much time them as possible." He bites his lip.

"But you could let Olivia - I mean family members, fly in, right?" Sarah asks and Niall nods a little but more confident again.

"If she has time, of course." Niall kisses my temple and I blush yet again. A waitress comes with the steaks for the boys and while dad and Ethan start to eat, Niall waits for me.

"Go ahead, eat." I tell Niall but he shakes his head. The waitress comes back with the food for me, mum and Sarah. I squeeze Niall's hand before letting it go to be able to eat. As we eat, no one really talks until Ethan start to tell dad about uni. I give him a thanking smile and take a sip of my coke as I listen to them. Then of course dad wants to know about how my uni life goes.

"Pretty much the same really. I study, read, write, eat." dad laughs at my words and so does Niall.

"That's not funny." I tell him holding my laugh. Ethan raises his eyebrows at me before laughing. I roll my eyes at them and take a sip of my coke. Mum who has been quiet, giggles and so does Sarah.

"But she only eats..."

"Fries!" Niall and mum say at the same time and laugh louder.

"God damn, I hate you people." I take a deep breath and shake my head. Everyone keeps on laughing but Niall stops. I look at him and he looks hurt and like a small lost puppy. "I was joking, love." I smiles and stoke his cheek.

"Don't say that ever again." he says quietly, warning, concerned and scared.

"I won't." I softly kiss his lips and pull away before he can kiss me back.

We all finish eating and then get dessert. Sarah and dad share their ice cream, Ethan has a chocolate cake, mum strawberry cake and Niall and I eat get chocolate fudge brownies.

"Why don't you share?" Sarah asks.

"We don't share food." Niall and I say at the same time and laugh. Mum, dad and Ethan roll their eyes while Sarah looks confused.

"Olivia doesn't share her food. She never did." Mum smiles at me and I smile proud back.

"Neither does Niall." I laugh and want to kiss his cheek again, but he turns his head around last minute and our lips meet. I chuckle against his lips and actually kiss him with tongue. Finally, I think and ignore the fact that my family and Sarah are watching us.

The rest of the evening, goes better than I thought it would. When mum goes to the toilet, I tell Niall that Mum will sleep at Ethan's flat and Ethan will sleep at my flat, which means that we won't see each other until tomorrow. He nods understanding and kisses my forehead. "I'll miss you lots."

"I'll miss you too, love." I smile and we kiss. When my mum comes back, the waitress comes and gives us the bill. The next seven minutes, dad mum and Niall discuss who should pay. Niall really wants to pay but when I tell him that there's no chance that he'll pay with my parents are here, he gives up. We leave the restaurant after dad and mum spilt the bill.

"How do you like Niall now?" Ethan who is a little bit drunk asks when I drive off.

"He's nice." Mum says looking out of the window. I smirk proud. "But..." My smirk disappears.

"But what?" Ethan and I want to know at the same time.

"But I don't have a good feeling." She say and I roll my eyes.

"Why's that?" Ethan asks instead of me.

"It's just that..." mum starts but doesn't finish. She has a secret is damn bad at hiding it. "It's noting... but I want to have brunch with him tomorrow and afterwards you can join us, Olivia. Is that possible?" Mum asks. I look confused and don't really know what I should feel. Should I be scared or happy? Is that good or bad?

"I will ask him and text you his answer." I say slowly. We arrive at the student accommodation and while Ethan shows mum his flat and gives her things she need, I ask Niall about tomorrow and he says that he can make it. Secretly I hoped he couldn't. I change from the dress to matching long sleeve Pyjamas. Ethan and I haven't had a sleep over for months. The last time, we slept in the living room, on the floor on the night before our birthday. It's a tradition.

When Ethan comes back, he's already his pyjamas and has his favourite pillow with him. He lays down next to me in bed and we both stare at the ceiling. "Brunch?" Ethan asks as irritated as I am.

"Brunch." it comes out as a whisper. Ethan's phone buzzes and he groans when he sees a text.

"Can you bring mum milk?" He asks. I sit up and look at him confused. "I don't have milk and she wants to drink some tea." He explains. I nod understanding and roll my eyes at him.

"Just because I'm a nice sister." I make a silly face and get out of bed. I take milk out of my fridge and leave my flat. When I stand in front of Ethan's door, I head my mother talk. Instantly I press my ear against the wooden door to be able to hear what she says.

"Daniel, I know that he's nice but don't forget that it's his fault." She's talking to my dad. "It doesn't matter if it happened six years ago. It doesn't matter that she forgot it because I didn't. I can't just look at him and accept him." What is she talking about? What happened six year ago? And who's fault is it? "but--" dad cut her off. "Okay fine. I'll try for Olivia." What does she mean? "Yes... I saw that she really likes him... yes. Goodnight." She hangs up and I wait a little before I knock on her door. Mum opens, smiling and I give her the milk.

"Can Niall come tomorrow?" Mum wants to know.

"Uhmm... yes." I smile. Mum cups my face and kisses my forehead.

"Great." She smiles when we pull apart. We say goodnight to each other and then she closes the door and I get back into my flat. When I lay next to Ethan, who already fell asleep, again I ask myself what she means? Who's fault is what? What is she trying for me? What happened six years ago? Lastly and more importantly, does it include Niall?
