Lemonade and Club69✔

Chapter.16

*

After about an hour, I had managed to calm him down and made him a cup of Yorkshire tea that Louis always made for me when I was feeling down.

We were sat on the floor looking at the Telly although we weren't actually paying any attention to it.

I hadn't asked Niall anything else because I didn't want him to start crying again.  It was obviously a sensitive topic and I understood that he was probably remorseful for what he did.

"They lied to all of you." Niall said in a quiet but firm voice.

"What?"

"That story they told you is utter bullcrap. Greg's friend is bisexual yes, but he cheated on his wife with a girl and she didn't leave him when she found out but they had problems. I was never involved in any way. The last time I heard about him was when I bumped into Greg in a store and I learned that his wife had cheated on him and he was hurt. That's why Greg accompanied him to club 69 and he found out that I worked there as well." Niall explained and my jaw was on the floor.

I don't know why someone would lie against their own child like that. What then made them disown him?

"Don't ask me why they lied because I have no idea." Niall added when I was quiet.

"I mean..." I trailed off, not exactly knowing how to ask the question that he just told me not to ask him.

"Why did they disown you then?" I asked and Niall looked at me for the first time before answering.

"Because I'm gay."

"What? Your family is homophobic?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes. They chased me out of the house when I came out like I was some outcast and when I came back to Uni, I almost lost myself because I knew that I couldn't afford to pay and that I would have to drop out but Zayn, bless him, he helped out and I got back on my feet. I know that working in a strip club is the lowest someone can go but it helped and I'm not ashamed in anyway because that's how I survived." He said and now it was my eyes that had tears in them.

He had been through so much in life and it just broke my heart because no matter what he went through, Niall always managed to stay true to himself.

He was the bravest person I had met.

"Oh my god Niall, I'm so sorry. I really didn't know, I should have just asked you when I learned who you were but I was a coward and followed my mum's wishes." I said and he cracked a small smile.

"A coward you say?" He grinned and I shrugged.

"I can't say I wasn't hurt because I was but then you had no idea and I'm willing to look past all of this and start afresh." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

I had him back. And after knowing all that about him, I finally gathered up the courage to ask him what I wanted to ask on the night he met my mum.

"Niall, I wanna ask you something that I was supposed to ask you that night." I started.

"Go on." He said and I took a deep breath.

"I know that you said you don't want commitments and stuff but... would you do me the honour of being my boyfriend?" I asked and closed my eyes, waiting for him to reject me.

After a long time of silence, I opened my eyes and found him looking at me.

"I wanted to see your eyes " He said.

"You know that with my kind of job it's difficult for me to be with anyone. I don't want people to judge you when they find out." He said worriedly and I was over the moon at the fact that he was even considering it.

"Niall I don't care about what people have to say. I like you, a lot and I really want to be with you." I assured him and he cracked a smile.

"But you haven't even taken me on a proper date." He pointed out.

"That's cliché, why don't we make our own rules. Boyfriends first dates later. You know try and break that status quo." I grinned and he burst out laughing.

"You are really an idiot but you are a lucky idiot because I kinda developed feelings for you and I would like to see the story that Harry and Niall will create as their love story." He said with a big smile.

I couldn't believe my ears. Was he saying what I hoped he was saying?

"Does that mean that you are willing to give us a chance?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes Harry. I would love to be your boyfriend."

"Oh my god thank you. Thank you so much." I smiled so wide and brought him in a hug.

"Don't break my heart." He said seriously.

There was no way, I was gonna mess this up. No matter what.

"I will never break your heart baby. I promise I will be by your side through everything. You are stuck with me now. And I'll protect you from anything and anyone." I said with seriousness in my voice because I meant every word.

He turned his head to look at me and we both slowly leaned in.

The only thing I was aware of was the sparks in my body from sharing a the first kiss with Niall.
