*Niall's POV*

I felt my vision getting a bit blurry and that's when I noticed that I was tearing up. Shit. Now Ms Lovato will notice and ask me what's wrong. I totally forgot that I was sitting with someone.

I turned back around to face Ms Lovato but I dropped my head down to my hand that were resting on my lap. Hold your shit together Horan. You can't let her see you crying, she'll think you're weak, or maybe worse, but what would be worser than that?

"Niall? Are you okay?" Ms Lovato asked me softly. I just nodded my head while still looking at my hands. I brought my hands to my face and rubbed the tears quickly before rising my head and looking at Ms Lovato.

I met Ms Lovato's brown eyes, and all I could see was worried eyes, "I'm fine, don't worry." I said trying to sound convincing, since she probably saw me wiping my tears.

"If anything's wrong you can trust me, I won't judge you Niall" she said sincerely. I smiled as a reply and mumbled a thanks. I don't really know if I'm supposed to say thanks at such a moment or not so I just mumbled it.

I saw the waiter holding my order and I quickly got excited, because MY FOOD WAS COMING! I waited for the waiter to bring the food to our table but he passed our table. I shot a confused look, but then I noticed that it wasn't for us.

I couldn't help but get disappointed once I noticed that it was for another table. THOSE FUCKING ASSHOLES HAD TO ORDER THE SAME ORDER AS ME. WHY CANT THEY HAVE CHOSEN ANOTHER ORDER AND NOT LET ME GET EXCITED.

I huffed in annoyance, I heard Ms Lovato giggle at my reaction

"Ni, they're gonna bring your order soon, don't worry."

"They better bring it soon"

Exactly after that moment I saw another waiter coming and holding my order along with Ms Lovato's order. This order better be for our table or I'll go into the kitchen and chop all of their heads off.

The waiter came to our table and placed our orders on the table, I wanted to directly dig in and start eating but I didn't want to seem weird, especially since the waiter was still placing Ms Lovato's order.

Exactly after the waiter turned around, going back to the kitchen, I started eating. I could swear that a few people started looking at me.

I put down my knife and fork and looked at Ms Lovato, hoping that she wouldn't look at me weirdly, but it was the exact opposite she was eating her food quietly and smiled at me once she felt me looking at her. I smiled back, and continued eating my food and not caring about others, as long as Ms Lovato wouldn't look at me like they did.

We finished our meals, Ms Lovato paid because...well she said its a way to pay me for helping her, and I wasn't gonna question anything if I'm getting free food......

We walked out of Nando's and got on the motorcycle.

"Where are we gonna go now?" She shrugged and drove away from our parking spot.

"I don't know, probably just going around the city."

She stopped on the red light, "I love the feeling of the cool air hitting my face as I ride. It feels refreshing and nice"

I nodded my head and held on tighter once I saw the green light.

Ms Lovato drove around the city for a while till she decided that it's better to get me home, so I can study. I was going to protest but I didn't want to seem weird or anything like that, so u went along with what she said. (THATS WHAT SHE SAID *my friend yells in my ear* she seriously would do that).

I gave the directions and once I told her that here's my stop she looked at me weirdly.

"Niall, you do realize that's a restaurant, right?"

"Yeah, Captain C. and the family owns this place"

"Who's Captain C.? And where do you live Niall?"

"Captain C is basically.....ummm... How can I explain this?" I don't know how to answer that question, how am I supposed to explain to her who Captain C. is? I'll just answer the second question.

"There's a house upstairs and an apartment, I live in the apartment and Captain C and the family lives in the house."

"Oh, but Niall you still didn't ans- NIALL! YOU CAME BACK!" Captain C yelled as he opened the door.

"CAPTAIN!" I went up to him and gave him a quick hug.

"Hey, who's this, co-captain?"

"Oh, this is...." What am I supposed to say? "This is my teacher"? Dafuq? No way I'm saying that.

"Demi, my name is Demi....captain?" She said in a confused tone in the end. She got off and came closer to us.

"Oh no, my name is Alroy Carter, captain c is just a nickname." He pulled Ms Lovato, or should I say Demi? Into a hug.

Captain C, or Alroy, is 43 old man with brown and gray hair, he has dark brown eyes. He's a bit taller than me and has good body for someone his age.

It's pretty weird to so him hugging her, cause like she's my teacher, but he greets everyone with a hug. To him it's just a sign of being welcoming.

"C'mon in Demi, let me make a meal for you"

"But-"

"No buts missy, I'm making you a meal"

Captain opened the door and lead us inside the restaurant, "CO-CAPTAIN" Saint yelled and pulled me into a hug.

Saint is an 8 year old boy, he has wavy brown hair and light brown eyes which can seem a bit gold-ish. He's very tall for his age and a very good actor, he always blames everything bad he did on me, and mama C believes him.

"Hey, Saint" I returned the hug "LOOK CO-CAPTAIN! Mommy bought me the new car!"

"THE RED ONE?"

"YESSS! LOOK!" He brought the red small car closer to my face.

"Woah! It looks even more awesome than in TV"

"I KNOW RIGHT! And look it an go pretty fast too!" Saint put the red racing car on the floor and pulled back a bit then released it, making it go fast.

"That's amazing. Now we can have a race with my blue car!" He nodded his head excitedly and went to bring his red car.

"You seem very good with kids" ms Lovato commented, I rubbed the back of my neck, not knowing what to say.

"Saint is a very unusual name. What made his parents call him Saint?"

"Captain C and mama C didn't name him, I did. But I was 9 back then. His full name is Captain Saint Carter. I heard the word saint and I thought it was pretty cool, so I named him saint, but I wanted to make him have a "cool" name so I named him Captain Saint." I chuckled at my 9 year old self.

"I cried and refused for them to name him anything else, so I took the pen and wrote Captain Saint on his certificate. I feel bad for him, though I still think it's a cool name. He doesn't like his first name much so he goes by his middle name."

She nodded her head "I'm glad a nine year old Niall didn't name me" she chucked.

"HEY! You're being a meanie!" I huffed and crossed my arms, closed my eyes looking the other way.

She laughed at me, and that laugh is so contagious it's hard to stay "mad", I was fighting the urge to smile.

"You're so adorable" she said while laughing. OH MY GOSH DID SHE JUST CALL ME ADORABLE!!! I smiled at her and hid my -now- red cheeks.
