Dirty Little Secret - A Niall Horan Story

26 - 'This is the only way to prove it, after everything I've done to her.'

’I guess that was everything, miss.’

The cabdriver hauled my bag out of trunk of the car and I smiled thankfully and handed him the cab money and of course the tip.

‘Have a nice flight.’

He nodded towards me and I nodded back, grabbing my bag and walking into the airport. I had made up my mind; I was not going to wait for Niall anymore. I had given him a chance to pull through and he didn’t, he did as he always did, he left me hanging.

Just like Ed said awhile back I had to go home January, and now it was the time. If everything had worked out with Niall I had planned on coming back after turning in my paper and getting me degree and live happily in England with him. But well, things don’t always turn out the way you want them to.

I was lost in thoughts when I checked in everything, everyone was very nice and accommodating, but I almost didn’t notice them at all. All I could think about was Niall, and that beautiful smile of his. And of course, I was really curious about what that surprise he was talking about was.

But what does it matter? He was never going to agree to share his spotlight with someone who wasn’t famous or special at anything. I was just an ordinary girl who happens to know pop stars. I could be an equal this way; I couldn’t be the ordinary girl dating a pop star.

He wanted someone just as famous as he was, or well, it’s hard to be just as famous as he, but well yeah, he wanted someone famous. Someone that could write him damn love songs and right now that person wasn’t me. He didn’t even think I could become anything more than just plain old me.

‘Oh my god, they are soooooo cute.’

I sighed to myself, crazy girls everywhere, I can’t really catch a break anywhere. I tried to look over to the television the mob of girls were surrounding but I had no luck figuring out what they were squealing so hard about.

‘I wonder about what’s going to happen now, they said in the beginning that something special was going to happen in the end.’

Another girl squealed and I couldn’t help but to roll my eyes. For God sake, don’t girls have anything better to do nowadays then to stand in front of a TV in an airport squealing away like God knows what?

I grabbed my earphones and plugged them into my ears and connected them to my phone and started looking around for a song to blast out their nasty voices.

‘Do you think she is going to like it?’

Niall mumbled nervously and looked around at the boys. Harry was giving him the thumbs up, he had helped him planned the whole thing, he knew how to make girls happy so Niall hoped that it was all going to work out. Zayn was too busy fixing his hair to even acknowledge that something was going to happen. Louis and Liam had small smiles planted on their faces, they were proud that Niall finally were making the correct move in their opinion.

‘It’s very sweet of you, but you understand what is going to happen right?’

Louis looked Niall straight in the eyes and he gulped and nodded.

‘This is the only way to prove it, after everything I’ve done to her.'

‘Well then, let’s do this!’

Every one of the boys patted my back and then we ran out on stage once more, every single fan in the audience started to scream.

-

I was sitting in my spot right by the window, of course the seat wasn’t as comfortable as one could hope but at least I was small enough to fit into it. I had looked around the plane a while ago and noticed that some people had some problems with that, bad as I was I actually laughed a bit about it.

But one thing I noticed that didn’t make me very happy was that the girls from earlier was now boarding my flight, and of course sitting just in front of me. After much giggling and laughing they pulled out an iPad, I was about to look away when a mop of blonde hair caught my eye. It was Niall, on that show of his that they were watching.

I slowly removed the headphones from my ear, I was curious, that I admitted to myself. I was already on the plane, no changing my mind now, so at least I could watch the remaining part of the show from behind the girls.

‘Ooh, now’s the last song, I wonder what is going to happen.’

One of the girls squealed and I found myself wondering to, what was that boy up to? Or what were all those boys up to? I was staring, completely focused on the screen, when I heard Harry’s soft voice starting to talk.

‘Well, we have a little surprise for a special someone.’

He winked and you could hear the audience scream.

‘Getting quite exited, yea?’

Louis were trigging them even more and soon the whole crowd was chanting for them to tell them.

‘Niall boy here, has something he wants to share with the world.’

Liam patted the blonde boy’s back and Niall took a small step forward. With a big smile on his face and his baby blue eyes focused right into the camera he said those words I thought I never would hear.

‘Alexandra, I love you, this song is for you.’
