Falling for a Lie ~ Niam

Chapter 7.

Niall looked at Liam’s sweet smile, and decided to play one of his favorite songs. He had actually never preformed before, the only ones who had heard him was his parents. He picked up his guitar and walked over to his bed. He patted the spot beside him and Liam sat down with a smile.

He checked that his guitar was in tune, then he started to play and sing.

“Well, it started with your hips
So I moved up to your lips
To take a chance, ask for a dance
‘Cause you’re the cutest thing
On this side of the world
We call our homes, yet I feel so all alone
Half of the time we gotta live
With what we got and I got nothin’
So I pray you take my hand
So we can conjure up somethin’ rad”

Liam recognized the song and decided to join in the chorus.

“And you could move on with your life
Just like you do, just like you shooby do do do
But you could make everything alright and I want you to
Because ever since the first dance
All I thought about was lovin’ on you”

Niall first seemed surprised when Liam joined, but then he smiled and motioned for Liam to sing the second verse on his own.

“So I moved to the dance floor
With instincts and nothing more
I had ants in my pants, I did the boogie dance
And there was nothing to do but laugh
So I took another leap
Hoping to sweep you off your feet
I said ‘Baby, maybe we could bust this joint
And see if my place is open to chill’ “

They sang the chorus together two more times before the song ended and they smiled brightly at each other.

“You’re really good” Liam complimented.

“Me?” Niall snorted, “I sound like a creaking floorboard compared to you, you fucking angel” he said and smiled.

“I don’t know how to take that comment” Liam said and chuckled. “But really, you’re very good, trust me.”

“I need a breaaaak…!” Niall whined.

“Another one?” Liam raised his eyebrow.

“Yes” Niall pouted. “We could go downstairs and see if there’s anything to eat” he suggested.

“Again?” Liam couldn’t help but smile amused at the blonde lad in front of him on the bed.

“Pleeeeeeease!” Niall gave him his best puppy eyes. Liam sighed and put down the natural science book he was currently skimming through.

“Okay” he said and they went down to the kitchen.

Just as they were eating whatever random food they found, the front door opened.

Mr and mrs Horan was home.

“Hello Niall!” Mrs Horan laid eyes on Liam. “Oh, you got company! Who’s this?” she smiled nicely at Liam, who stood up and offered her his hand in a greeting.

“I’m Liam, ma’am.”

“Call me Maura.”

Niall’s father stepped forward and shook Liam’s hand as well.

“And I’m Bobby.”

“Pleasure to meet you, sir.”

Bobby chuckled lightly.
“You finally got yourself a polite friend there, Jamie” he smiled at his son.

Liam looked at Niall, confused.
“Jamie?” he asked and both Niall and Bobby chuckled. He could see where Niall got his carefree personality from.
