"Has Niall ever slept over?" Ethan asks as I make pancakes for us. My eyes widen and I don't know if I should tell him the truth or not, even though he knows exactly when I'm lying.

"Twice, and plus that one time when I was drunk and he looked after me." I explain, not looking up from the pan.

"Where did he sleep?" my twin brother wants to know. Why is he so curious all of the sudden? And why does he even think of that?

"On the floor the night when he asked me to be his girlfriend and on the bed when I was drunk and when I forbid him to sleep on the floor again." Gosh, why I am telling him so much detail? I guess it's probably better then just giving short answers and having to answer more question. When I tell him much detail now, he won't have to ask and if won't be as awkward as it is already. I finish the last pancake and put it on Ethan's plate. I give him chocolate sirup and then he sits down on my desk chair and I at the end of my bed.

"Are you scared?" Ethan asks and I shrug.

"Scared of what?" I want to know, even though I already know his answer.

"Mum and Niall having brunch together." Ethan says exactly what I thought. I shrug again. Am I scared? Do I have to be scared? I mean, my mum is pretty nice, kind, caring woman and if she seems mean, cold and harsh, it's only because she wants to protect what she loves...

"I don't know." I answer honestly. I still can't get my mum's conversation with my dad last night out of my head. Usually they raise their voice when they talked or ignore each other but something about the seriousness of their topic made them stay kinda clam. They were calm but I could head fear and concern in the voice of my mother.

After we finish eating, I take a hot shower singing and then get ready for the day. I'm neither in the mood for curls nor contact. Wondering if Niall has even seen me in glasses and straight hair, I get dressed in a light yellow dress and put my hair into a pony tail. When I'm ready for today, I get out of the bathroom and slip my white chucks on. I turn around and see Niall and Ethan standing across from each other trying to figure out how to tie a tie.

"Struggling much?" I laugh and kiss Niall's cheek.

"Here, you do it." Ethan says and goes into the bathroom.

"You sang great." Niall smirks as I tie his black tie.

"Thanks." I say and place his tie perfectly before wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing me. Niall instantly puts his arms around my waist and lifts me up.

"You look damn hot with glasses and straight hair." He mumbles against my lips and sits down on my already from Ethan made bed. I put my legs on either side of his thighs and hope and pray that Ethan won't come out of the bathroom any time soon. Niall and I always had that sexual tension going on since the day we saw first saw each other in the club. But neither of us ever admitted it and now that we're a couple, we can let it all out. Our make out session gets more passionate and hotter each second and I ask myself how I managed to live without his lips.

"Fuck." I moan against his lips before going right back to kissing him passionately. As soon as we hear the shower turning on, Niall tightens his arms around me and presses me against his chest. It knocks on a door and we pull apart, heavily breathing. My heart is racing and I can hear Niall's pounding fast and loud as well. I kiss his lips, his cheek, his forehead before I get off him and fix my dress. I look back at him before I open the door. His cheeks are flushed and when he stands up there's a bulge in his trousers.

"Niall..." I say and look at him, keeping my laugh in.

"Shit." He turns around and fixes his trousers and himself. I give him another seconds before I open the door. My mum is wearing a white dress under her coat and has her hair into a neat bun.

"Good morning, Olive." Mum smiles. She seems to be in a great mood as she usual is. "And hello Niall." She says and I feel Niall's arm around my waist.

"Good morning, ms Reyes." Niall smiles.

"Oh, please call me Emilia." Mum says and Niall smiles widens. Mum is back to her usual nice and kind self. Last night was just something new to her. I've had one boyfriend before she knew him well because he's Ethan's friend. She knew nothing about Niall except that he's in One Direction and the Irish one, but other than that, he's a stranger to her. Plus, Sarah ate with his dinner for the first time. The situation last night was just very new, to all of us. Hopefully today will be better. Mum loves brunch and Niall loves to eat. It can't go bad, can it?

"Ready?" Mum wants to know from Niall.

"Yes, I'm ready." Niall says and kisses my cheek.

"You're coming afterwards, right?" Mum asks me and I nod. "Perfect and cute dress, Olive." She smiles.

"Thanks mum." I smile as Niall walks out pass me. "Wait!" I grab Niall's wrist and pull him back. Mum stands still and looks at us. I kiss Niall's lips and he kisses back shyly and aware that my mum is watching us. Before I let go of him, I kiss his cheek again and then he walks away next to my mum. I close the door behind me, lean against it and slide down. I take a deep breath and now all I can do is wait.

The scene of two kids running around in a garden is in my head. "Wait!" the little girls yells. The boy who runs away from her doesn't stop. "Wait!!" She yells again and suddenly trips because of nothing.

For some reason she reminds me of myself. The small boy rushes back to her and gets down on his knees.

"Does it hurt?" He brown haired boy asks. She shakes her head smiling and lays down in the grass.

"Do you love someone?" She asks and he nods. He lays down next to her and their hands are touching.

"You." He smiles.

"I love you too." She giggles.

My phone buzzes and I wake up. When I look at text from mum, saying that I should slowly make my way to the restaurant, I jump up from my bed and quickly fix my outfit. Ethan is asleep next to me and doesn't plan on moving away anytime soon. I leave him a little note, saying that I left and took his car, and get out my apartment. I close my coat and put my phone into my bag in the elevator. As soon as I get into Ethan's car, I drive off ignoring that my mum said I should come slowly. Minutes later, I arrive at the address that she sent me. It's a hotel and when I step inside, I have to blink few times. The entrance hall is already grand and beautiful decorated. I follow the sign to the restaurant of the hotel and get a huge room. There are round table for four people all around the room and in the middle is a piano and a girl singing. I find Niall and my mum at the back of the room and make my way over to them.

"Olive!" Mum exclaims when she sees me. Niall turns around and smiles at me. His cheeks are red.

"Is everything alright?" I want to know and hug my mum before I sit down next to Niall and kiss his cheek.

"Yes, everything's fine now." Mum smiles and takes a sip of her tea. I look at Niall and he nods agreeing. I don't fully believe him though. Something is up but for now I ignore it. I can think about it later. "Are you hungry?" Mum asks and I nod.

Niall breaks off a piece of his chocolate cake and feeds me. I smile thanking and eat of his fork.

"It's good, isn't it?" Niall smirks nodding. His eyes are lights up and his cheeks are in their normal colour again.

"It is." I smile and take the fork form him. He gives me the plate and lets me have it. I look at him surprised that he's willing to share.

"I already had two." He chuckles and I roll my eyes. Of course he had, I think and start to eat which was supposed to be his third one.

"So what did you talk about?" I ask trying to sound as casually as possible even though I'm nervous and scared.

"We talked about you and your relationship and Los Angeles." Mum takes a sip of her tea before going into more detail. "Niall told me how he asked you be his girlfriend and what he likes, pardon, loves about you."

I blush.

"And we talked about plans for Christmas and then about your trip to LA next week." Mum explains and takes out her phone form the bag. "I already started planning." She says and Niall quickly chuckles.

"Started to plan what?" I want to know. Before she can answer a waitress comes to us and asks me what I want. I order simple ice tea and another piece of the chocolate cake.

"Started to plan the things you have to get for me and for your grandmother." She says and shows me the list. It's shorter than I thought it would be. "Just a few things." She says and I nod understanding.

"You could go shopping with the girls." He says and takes a piece of my chocolate cake that was his minutes before.

"Does that mean you wouldn't want to come with me?" I question him.

"We're a secret, love." He reminds me. We haven't been very good at keeping it a secret though, because we went out a lot together recently.

"True." I say and my piece of cakes comes. I say thank you to the waitress and then start to eat. "So what else did you talk about?" I ask, this time looking at Niall and not my mum.

"Just that." Niall says and I can see him getting nervous. His face slowly becomes white and he wipes the sweat on his hands on his trousers away.

"Really?" I look deep into his eyes.

"Yes." He lies and looks around. Why is he lying?, I ask myself and look at my mum who is highly concentrated on the flowers on the table. I would ask him why he's lying but I don't want to in front of mum. For now I let it go.

I finish eating my cake as we talk about other stuff and then mum and I drive back to the student accommodation while Niall drives home. He wanted to come over to me again, but I told him to stay at his because I have to study. We find Ethan still sleeping on my bed. He has his books with him though and probably fell asleep studying. Mum goes over to him and strokes his cheek, while I take clothes out of my closet and instead of taking a shirt of mine, I take the one form Niall and a pair of shorts. I quickly change in the bathroom and when I get out, mum is still trying to wake up Ethan.

"He won't wake up like that, mum." I tell her and walk over to them. Mum steps aside and I shake my twin brother. I'm the one who has a light sleep, not Ethan. He groans and moves around like a fish that just got pulled out of water. I roll my eyes at him and shake him more. "Wake up!" I tell him.

"Jesus." he groans and rubs his yes open.

"You have to drive mum to the airport." I shake his already awake body.

"Now?" He asks and finally sits up.

"Yes, Ethan. Come on, get up." Mum says. Ethan does as told and get out of my bed tired. He quickly takes his books and then goes to his flat. Mum follows and finish up packing her stuff. When she's ready to leave, Ethan quickly has to pee.

"Do you like Niall now?" I ask. I have to know it before she leaves.

"I do." She says and then Ethan comes out. I give my mother a big warm hug and and then let her go.

She and Ethan leave and I lock the door behind me. I lay down in bed and start to think. She likes him now but I can't rid of the feeling that something is still wrong. Why did Niall lie to me when I asked about what they have talked? What did they talk about?...

Something is still not okay but I can't figure out what it is.
