CHAPTER 16

Niall's POV

I walked back to "Banana Zone" after having lunch with Tina. It was really great actually. We aet pasta and her cooking skill was good. We talked about our lives, job, friends, school...You know, some of the basic things! It was quite comfortable, indeed.

I pulled out my cellphone and saw a new message.

-----

From: Daddy Direction

Where're you?

-----

To: Daddy Direction

I'm coming back in a few more minutes.

-----

I pressed "Send" and put my cellphone back in my jeans pocket. My eyes caught a lovely couple was sitting on the bench, hand in hand and was cuddling with each other. I smiled to myself and suddenly, my heart sank down.

"Where's June right now?"

I hadn't seen her since last night. Did she really ignore me? Did she really try to stay away from me after what happened? I still could smell her unique scent from her hair, still could sense her cool skin against my hand. I took a deep breath to sort my feelings but this way didn't work like it used to be. Things had just become more messy and mad.

I closed my eyes tightly, didn't want to see anything anymore. I wished June was here, right now, standing next to me, intertwined her fingers with mine. What was happening with me? I had never been like this before, such a coward, a stupid with no guts to tell the girl I liked how I felt.

Slowly and sadly, I opened my eyes.

She was there. My Guitar Girl was standing just a few metres away.

She was standing on a ladder, on her tiptoe, trying to hanging something on the tree. I looked more clear and realized it was a big yellow star. Maybe she was decorating for Tina's birthday. I smiled to myself for no reason.

I walked closer and said loudly.

"Hello!"

I really didn't notice that I would startle her. She yelled in surprise and started losing balance on her very high chair.

"Watch out, June!"

I ran fast just in time to catch her falling dowm from the ladder. Both of us feel on the ground. After a few second, I realized I was laying on the ground by my back, with June on top of me, her head rested on my chest. My arms grabbed around her small body. I could feel my heart beating like crazy and I secretly wished that June didn't feel that too. The scent of her hair started making me dizzy and fall deeply with no thinking in it. I felt her warmth on me and I barely breathed.

I gripped my arms around June, tightened it as I was so afraid that she would walk away. This feeling, the feeling of having her in my arms, holding her close to my chest and feel absolutely safe and sound because of being abled to hug her...It was so great, so peaceful, more valuable than anything in this world. "You have fallen in love with her, Niall." A small voice spoke in my head "It's not a simple crush anymore."

"Uhmmm...." June started moving. Only that did I realize I was hurting her with my grip. Regrettedly, I opened my arms so she could stand up. She didn't say anything, held out her hand to help me get up. "Wait, I didn't want to get up! I didn't want her to leave!" I thought like a baby. I could give away anything in this world to keep June in my arms forever or simply, to come back to a few second ago.

"This is the perfect time to tell her, Niall!" A voice spoke in my head again but this time, it wasn't just small anymore. It was like yelling forced myself to find my courage.

I got up, standing on my feet again. A silence spread between us.

"Thank you!" She whispered quietly, didn't look into my eyes. "You know, for catching me."

I nodded.

"Uhm.."

"June, I need to tell you something..." I said before June could say anything else.

June's POV

"I am laying on his chest. He is hugging me. His arms are gripping around me..."

Just like that, my mind kept talking to itself, like a situation report. My heart beat like it was about to jump out of its place. "Calm down, heart!" The sound of my mind yelled at my heart. This was weird!

It felt so happy, so safe, the feeling of being this close to Niall. All I wanted to do was burying my face in his chest, taking a deep breath of his familiar scent.

Suddenly I felt his grip around me tighten, holding me closer to him.

I tried not to breath too hard or too fast. I was afraid that he would disappear. I wished a fairy could showed up and make the time stop, stop everything so I could be in his arms forever.

"Please! Please! Please!" I thought like a kid, making a wish on the star. Anything but taking him away, anything but ruining this moment. I would give away everything.

"He just kept saying that he would have lunch with Tina." Zayn's voice spoke, pulled me back to reality. It was so hurtful. It was breaking my heart. But it was the truth, it was the reality. It was what happened in front of us, not wish on a star or fairy. Niall and I weren't belong to each other.

"He is Niall Horan and I am a maid."

I started moving and he let me go. I helped him stand up and said "Thank you!" The tears were on the rim of my eyes. I quickly pretended to fixmy hair to whip it away.

Niall didn't say anything. He just nodded at my words. Was he mad?

"I need to tell you something..."

He spoke with his husky Irish voice. The seriousness appeared on his eyes and I felt panic. Was he going to say I needed to keep a distance with him before Tina saw and get jealous?

I nodded so he would know I was listening. I was unabled to talk. My voice had hid.

"I really..."

"Therer you are, Nialler!"

A girly voice spoke behind and even when I couldn't look over Niall's shoulder but I still knew who it was. I looked up, caught the confuse in Niall's beautiful sea blue eyes, the eyes that I had fallen in love since the first day.

"You forgot your wallet." Tina said and she, I was pretty sure, pretended to see me there "Oh, hey June! Have no cleaning job to do?"

********

Niall's POV

I turned around and saw Tina was standing there, smiled at me and held my wallet. She walked closer to me and, with my surprise, put my wallet into my shirt's pocket. Her hand laid on my chest.

"Uhm, thank you!" I said shortly.

I pulled her hand away and turned to talk to June. If she saw that with no explanation, she would think....

But June wasn't there anymore. I looked around and saw June was walking far from where I was standing.
