《SimpleMinded》Haven Loves Niall.

"Did you not like the kiss?" I get out of my daze and look at Haven, "No, I liked it. Let's go downstairs and get started on the pizzas."
We finish up making the pizzas after an hour. We are now sitting in my room in the bed eating. "Haven, what else do you know about kissing?" She looks up from her food, "You kiss when you like someone." I nod my head, "Do you think you can only kiss on the cheek?" She shakes her head, "No, you can also kiss on the lips."
She takes a sip of her drink, "I know what love is, I think." I thought I told Jay not to say anything to her about this stuff, "You do? Who told you?" She holds up her iPad, "I looked it up. It means deep feelings or affection."
I shake my head, "That's the book version. The true definition of love is when the time with that person is so special that you wouldn't change anything. Love is when you just want to see that person happy and smiling at or with you. Love is when your heart speeds up every time you see or hear that person. Love is when you only see that person. Love is when you don't try to change that person, you love that person the way they are. Loving someone can make you grow as a person or break you. That is love."
She nods her head, "Don't kiss just anybody." She quickly shakes her head, "I only want to kiss you, no one else." I finish up my food and put my plate on my nightstand, "I know we just talked about me not leaving you, but you'll have to be on your own one day." I see hurt and fear cross her face, "I don't want to, I want to stay with you, forever."
I take her plate and set it on the floor, "You have to find someone other than me. You don't want to be with me." Her eyes start filling up with tears, "Yes, I do. I don't want anybody else." I run my fingers through my hair tiredly, "You only want to be with me, because I'm the only person you ever got close with. You'll have to get to know other people and one day you'll like someone so much that you would want to hang out with them more than me."
Her tears start falling and she quickly gets off the bed, "I don't want to!" She runs off to her room, I hear her door slam and I sit back on the bed. This is what's best for her, I don't want to keep her away from the world. I'm only taking care of her, aren't I? I'm the only person she's ever opened up to, I'm the only person she's ever expressed her feelings to. She has to get to know other people.
I turn the lights off and lay down. Seconds later I am taken over with sleep.

I wake up from hearing something drop in my bathroom. I sit up and wipe my sleep away. "Rafiki, what are you doing?" Jay comes out, "I'm not your monkey."
Confusion cross my face, "What are you doing here?" He crosses his arms as he leans against the wall, "You texted me last night telling me what happened between you and Haven. You most likely met to text Rylee, but instead, I received the text." I stand up and walk to the bathroom. I do my morning routine and then walk to my closet. I grab a blue suit and put it on.
I put my hair in a low ponytail, "I have to wake Haven up, she's most likely upset with me still." He follows me to Haven's room, "Why did you say all of that? Why didn't you let her figure it out herself?" Before opening Haven door I look at him, "Because I felt like it's best if I tell her now, instead of waiting."
I open the door and he laughs, "You're either very blind or very stupid." I sit down on the bed and shake a sleeping Haven, "Haven, wake up." Her eyes flutter open and she flinches away from me. I'm not going to lie, that actually hurt me a little. The last time she flinched away from me was when I first started taking care of her. "Go away."
I clear my throat, "Do you want Jay to stay in here and pick out your clothes?" She nods her head and I felt like I just got shot, "Okay, just come out with your brush and I can do your hair." I walk out after that and I take a deep breath. She rejects me but accepts Jay.
Twenty minutes pass and they finally come out, "She asked me to do her hair for her, so I did it." I look at Haven and she is looking at her feet. "Haven, how long are you going to stay mad at me?" She looks at me with tears in her eyes, "You lied to me! I don't want to talk to you!" She picks Bean and Rafiki up and runs downstairs.
After Haven just yelled at Niall, I can tell he was hurt by it. He tried not to show it, but it didn't work out.
"Let's go." I nod my head and we walk out of the house. "I-I want to ride w-with J-Jay." I freeze in my spot and slowly look at Niall, "Can she ride with you?" I really want to know what's going through his head. What is he holding back?
I look at Haven and smile, "You sure you want to ride with me?" She slowly nods her head and I open the passenger door for her, "Get in, Ms.Lady." I close the door and walk to the driver side.
I follow Niall out and seconds later Haven starts crying, "Please don't tell Niall I'm crying. I don't want him to get mad." I almost pulled this car over to give her a hug and comfort her, "He's not going to be mad at you and I'm not going to tell him." She continues to cry and Rafiki jumps to the back. He comes back a whole minute later with a box of tissue. I had a box a tissue in my car?

"I don't want to be with anybody else. I only want Niall, but he wants to get rid of me." She cries out as we pull up to the office and I park the car in my designated parking spot, which is right beside Niall. "I don't know if I should say this, but seeing you cry is making me feel bad if I hold it in. Niall has already told you about love, right?" She nods her head and I reach over to wipe her tears away.
"Did he tell you something short or long?" She starts hiccuping and I laugh, "Long."
"I don't know if it's true or not, but Niall might be feeling love. Do you think you love him?" She looks at me with emotions passing through her eyes, "Love? I like Niall." I nod my head and laugh, "I know you like Niall, but do you love him?" Whatever Niall told her about love, I want her to put that with herself.
"What did Niall say love is?" She hiccups again and wipes her tears off her face. "He said it's when your heart speeds up when you see or hear that person." Before she could continue, I cut her off, "Does that happens to you whenever you hear or see Niall?" She slowly nods her head.
"What's else did he say love is?" I forgot that we are supposed to be in the office right now, but I want to help Haven first. "He said the time you spent with that person is so special that you wouldn't want to change it for anything."
"The time you spent with Niall, do you want to change it?" She quickly shakes her head, "No, I don't. I like all of my time to be with Niall."
"What else did Niall tell you?" One more and let's see what she'll say. "He said loving somebody means someone can make you grow as a person or break you." I smile at her, "Does he make you grow or break you?"
"Grow." Looks like Haven is in love with Niall, now all I have to do is see if it's the same for Niall. "What about Niall?" I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know, we'll have to see, but don't tell anyone. It's a secret between us." I put my index finger over my lips and she does the same, she is so innocent, I can see why Niall can never say no to her. "It's our secret." I nod my head and we get out of the car.
"I'm still mad at Niall, I don't want to talk to him." I can tell if I try to talk her out of being mad at Niall she wouldn't listen to me for even a second.
We walk in and head to the elevator. Three minutes later we walk in Niall office and everybody looks our way. Haven puts Bean and Rafiki down, "You do know that you two were in that car for an hour, right?" My eyes widen at Rylee, "Holy shit! An hour went by that fast?! I lost track of time!" I look over at Niall and see him staring at Haven as she listens to Kylie talk.
I texted Rylee and told her everything. Niall was meant to text her anyway. Niall work phone starts ringing, he's to busy staring at Haven to realize it's ringing, "Niall." He looks at me and I point at his phone, "Oh, hello. Yes...reschedule that for sometime next week." He hangs up after that and sighs, "What happened?" Kylie asks, "One of my clients wanted to reschedule a meeting we had."
He starts doing his work, but I can tell that he's trying to distract himself. Why is he being so stubborn? What's so hard about loving Haven, Niall?
All of a sudden Haven starts crying, we all look towards her and Kylie hugs her, "I don't know what happened. She just started crying." I look at Niall and he is still glued to his seat. He wants to get up, it's so obvious, but he's doesn't want to get rejected again.
Haven stands up and walks towards me. My eyes widen, she wants me to comfort her?! What?! Why me?! My eyes quickly land on Niall and I see anger running through his eyes. This is escalating too quickly for me.
"Everybody get out! The last one close the door behind you!" Everybody stop at what they were doing and look at Niall. The anger in his eyes must have told everybody that he was serious, because next thing I know, I'm being dragged out by Ty and Rylee.
"What the hell just happened?!" Ty asks as we walk to our office, "I don't know, but y'all said Niall was nice and not scary at all." Adam states, "He is nice. He's not scary at all."
Adam mouth drop, "Then why the hell did he just kick us out?! We ran out like we were getting a whooping from our parents!" Kylie laughs, "Something must be going on with him and Haven. When you and Haven were in the car the whole time, he kept looking out the window."
We all sit down, "Hopefully they get it together in next hour or so. We still have to deal with this guy who wants to take Haven back." What I don't understand is that this man has not called Niall not even once for this entire week.
Something must be wrong.
