《Fate (Niall Horan - Completed)》THIRTY NINE
Advertisement
"Is everything okay?" Niall walks over to us and I swallow all the saliva in my mouth. My heart skips a beat when he puts his hand on my back. I stand up straight and move closer to Niall, who's still waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, man. Everything's okay. We were just talking. Catching up, you know." Aaron answers like he didn't confess his love to me just seconds ago, the second time within the last 24 hours. He acts like he didn't just say he loves me, even though he's in a relationship with my friend. He acts. He's an actor. That's what he always does. Sometimes, back then, I didn't know when he was just acting and fooling around, or if he was saying the whole truth. I'm surprised that he's in uni to become a lawyer and not an actor. He would be a good actor.
"Ohh, cool." Niall rubs up and down my side and stares at Aaron who takes a step back.
"I'm going down." Aaron says and stumbles away. I don't know if he's scared of Niall or not, probably not. I guess he just wanted to leave before it can get any more awkward, if that's even possible. As soon as we hear Sam's bedroom door close, Niall puts his other arm around me and holds me tightly. I wrap my arms around his torso and rest my head on his chest.
"Are you sure that everything's alright?" Niall whispers, really wanting to make sure that I'm okay and that's just another reason why I love him so much. He always cares so much about me. Always asks if I'm okay, always more than just once, wanting to really make sure that I'm really okay. That's just another difference between him and Aaron. Aaron never asked twice or more. Just once and he never saw that the first 'okay' may was a lie. Girls always say that they are 'okay' or 'fine', even when it's the complete opposite. Some guys see that the girl is lying. Those are the ones to keep. Niall is one of them.
"No, but when you came everything got a lot better." I mumble against his chest. He cups my face and lifts it up, connecting our eyes to each other.
"I love you, my princess." Niall smiles. A hint of insecurity comes over his eyes but fades away quick. Did he hear what Aaron said?, I ask myself. For a moment everything stops and I take it to set my thoughts. If Niall heard what Aaron said, wouldn't he asked me about it? Did he even hear it? Probably not, since he didn't approach it yet... right?
"I love you too, Niall." I smile back at him and stand up on my tiptoes to attach his lips to mine. "I love you lots." I chuckle against his lips before kissing him passionately, hoping it will take away all his insecurities.
Niall certainly doesn't have to feel insecure in any way at all. He's all I ever wanted and as long as I'm all what he wants, we'll be fine.
"We should go down, before they think that we're having sex up here." Niall giggles as we pull apart.
"Let them think." I smirk and kiss him yet again. He kisses back, like he always does, with his beautiful lip.
"Seriously though..." Niall chuckles. I roll my eyes at him and give in.

"Fine." I groan and take his hand to lead him back downstairs.
When we reach the living room again, apparently it's time for karaoke. Kimberly is singing her lungs out to Camp Rock 'this is me'. Niall and I sit down on the couch next to her that is empty. Hannah has moved over to the the chair and Aaron just comes in when we sit down. Kimberly gives me the other microphone and I join her, sing as loud and, at the same time, good as I can.
"Damn Olivia, I forgot how good you are." Calum compliments when we're done.
"I have to impress Niall, don't I?" I joke and choose another song. I take Kimberly's mic and give it to Niall who gives me a questioning look. I just shrug and he smirks when I press play and one of our favourites songs starts playing. 'Everyday' by High School Musical.
"Once in a life time means there's no second chance." Niall starts to sing and the others start to cheer. "so I believe that you and me should grab it while we can."
"Make it last forever and never give it back." I join in and everyone start to cheer even louder.
"It's our turn and I'm lovin' where we're at." Niall sings and I move closer to him. He puts his arm around my waist and rests his hand on my side.
"Because this moment's really all we have..."
We sing the song to the end and at one point, the others join in, just like in the movie. Moments like this, I wish would last forever. I forget that Aaron told me that he loves me, even though he knows that I love Niall. I forget that I saw a hint of insecurity in Niall's eyes. I forget the bad feeling that I feel since we landed in Ireland. I forget it and let Niall take my thoughts away. As always. He makes me forget the bad parts and lets me memories the good parts. Just laying around in my bed, right next to him, is already a good part that I'll never forget. If I could and if he could – if we could – we wouldn't move out of bed. I know that he feels like that too, just looking into his gorgeous blue eyes tell me that he feels like that as well.
"I feel like all the times we watched High School Musical, prepared me for this." Niall laughs and pulls me onto his lap. He rests his head on my back and continues to chuckle into my back while I play with his hands that lay on my stomach.
"It wouldn't a traditional karaoke, if..." Calum makes a pause, takes the mic from Niall and gives it to Aaron. "If Olivia and Aaron wouldn't sing together." He smiles at Aaron before looking at me. I roll my eyes at him as Finn chooses a song.
I nearly choke on my own saliva when 'I gotta go my own way' starts. I clear my throat, overly loud before taking a deep breath. "I gotta say what's on my mind. Something about us doesn't seem right these days..." As I sing, I feel the awkwardness between Aaron and I grow and grow to a massive ball that's in the room but no one except us notices it. No one except us know that he still loves me. No one except us know that he isn't loving Hannah, his girlfriend, but me. Niall sits still as I sing the lyrics of the song. His hands are still on my stomach, as if he's trying to protect me from something.

"What about us? What about everything we've been through..." Aaron starts to sing. I feel like there's no air in this place anymore. Not even on earth. Niall takes one hand away from my stomach and starts biting his nails as he leans back.
"What about trust?" I gotta continue.
"You know I never wanted to hurt you." Aaron sings and looks me directly into the eyes. We continue the song and everyone is watching us. I keep my eyes on the television but can feel Aaron's staring holes into my soul. I'm happy for you, Olivia. But... I-I love you, you know. And I may was drunk yesterday night, but it was true what I said. I love you, the scene keeps coming into my head over and over again while we finish the song.
Once it's done, I take a deep breath as everyone is cheering. How can they not feel the awkwardness?, I ask myself and can't find any answer by looking at each of them. Not even Ethan, my twin brother, notices it.
But Niall does.
"Everything alright?" He whispers and I nod. I give the microphone to Kimberly and hope that I won't have to sing again tonight. Maybe with Niall, but never again with Aaron. I should have just gave the microphone to Kimberly but nooo it's 'tradition'. If I could I would hit myself right there and then for bringing that tradition into our yearly catching up/hanging out afternoon that we always have before christmas.
"Sure?" Niall rubs my back and I nod. I take his hands into mine and warm them up. His hands are hot, other than mine that are freezing cold. Sam who has the mic now, starts to sing yet another High School Musical song and only then I realize how much we've not grown when we're together as a group. I know for sure that outside Sam's house, when one of us is not around all of us others, that one is grown up and doesn't think about the next High School Musical song to sing. It's kinda funny that we are all over 18, some over 21 and Finn already 23, but we're still here, singing High School Musical songs after playing a game for an entire hour.
The night goes on, until 9 pm when the others decide to go clubbing. Niall and I don't want to, firstly because we want to be alone before he leaves tomorrow, secondly because we're not public and going clubbing doesn't really hide our relationship from the public more and thirdly because we simply don't want to.
Niall and I say goodbye to everyone and get into his car. As soon as Niall drives off, the scene of two kids going ice skating plays in front of my eyes. It's in arena and they are around many other people but for the girl and for the boy, only the other one exist. Nothing is important than that moment. The small boy skates over the ice like a pro while she stays back. When he notices that she isn't following him, he skates back to her and takes her hand. Together they skate while Christmas songs are playing out loud.
"Everything alright?" Niall tears me out of the scene. I wonder how many time she already asked me that question today before I answer.
"Yeah but don't drive us home." I tell him. He quickly gives me a confused look before looking back at the road. "Turn left and then go ahead until the third intersection where you turn left again.
"Whaaaat?" Niall's still confused but turns left like a I told him to.
"Just do it, love." I smirk at him and lean back. I instruct him way to the ice arena and watch him more getting confused every minute.
When we arrive there, Niall seems to understand my plan. But only for a second. He gives me a confused look yet again and I can't hold it in but just burst out laughing.
"Jesus christ, Niall!" I roll my eyes at him and take his hand. We walk to the back of the building where the little security's office is.
"What are we--" He cuts himself off when I knock on the door. "Olivia... "Niall takes a step back but keeps on holding my hand.
A big man with brown hair and green eyes opens the door and opens hisarms with a smile on his face.
"Bob!"I exclaim and hug my auntie's husband's brother.
"Olivia, long time no see." He chuckles and lets me step in.
"I knoooow." I smile and pull Niall in behind me. "Bob, is it... umm possibly for us to skate?" I ask and smile at him.
"Of course. But only until 11, Olive garden." He winks at me and I roll my eyes. "And you must be..." He looks at Niall.
"I'm Niall." Niall smiles and takes a step closer to us.
"My boyfriend." I explain. Bob forms an O with his mouth, nods and leads us to the ice field. He goes behind the counter and I tell him our shoe sizes.
"Can you even skate?" Niall asks me while Bob is at the back to get our skating shoes.
"We're about to find out." I giggle. Bob comes back with our skaters and I thank him smiling. He leaves us alone and I take Niall's hand to lead him over to the bench where usually players sit and wait for their turn.
I pull on the skaters and so does Niall. "Are you ready, Horan?" I smirk at him and stand up.
"Ready, Olive garden." he chuckles and I roll my eyes at him. "Are you ready, Olive garden?" He laughs. I punch his arm as he gets up and takes my hand. We stand on the ice across from each other and Niall gives me a kiss on my forehead before skating away from me. I can't remember the last time I skated but I manage to get a bit away from the seats.
"Olive!" Niall shouts and skates back to me. "What on earth?" He laughs, takes my hand and leads me over the ice. It's not as difficult with Niall by my side as alone and somehow Niall reminds me of the little boy in the scene that played in front of my eyes in the car. And I remind myself of the little girl.
Is it possible that those kids could have been us when we where younger?
From before I lost my memory?

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
