They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 2

Niall's POV

Jay was a real wanker ya know? He was always so mean to Liam, but it is not like I could say anything to defend him. It would make people suspicious and they might find out I was gay as well. If Jay found out or if anyone found out I was gay I would probably be kicked off the football team. Or worse I could lose my reputation. 

When Jay was picking on Liam, a girl with blondish, brown hair stepped in and defended him. She won the argument of course. Jay walked away and we followed. As I passed Liam's desk I gave him a little wink to subtly flirt with him and he smiled back. 

He was so damn cute I wanted him to be mine so badly. 

I left a note on his desk that said: Meet me behind the gym after school;). I was watching him as he read it. He smiled. God I loved his smile. 

The day seemed to go by so slowly, but the last bell finally rang. I quickly walked, well kind of ran to the back of the gym praying that Liam would be there. Thank god I didn't have football practice today. 

I quickly turned the corner to where I told Liam to meet me and there he stood waiting for me. I smiled and walked up to him. 

"Hey," I said. "Hey," he said shyly as we awkwardly stood in front of each other. We just there staring at each other. I know I asked him here so I could finally have a real conversation with him, but no words came out of my mouth. He spoke, breaking the silence. "Niall why did you ask me here? If it's so you can copy my homework, that would be a fat no." My mouth opened, but no words wanted to escape my lips. "A jock at loss for words? No surprise to me," he said a little harshly and I was actually shocked. Liam was such a shy person and I never witnessed this behavior. Then again this was my first time talking to him. "Liam the reason I asked you here is because I wanted to know, do you like anyone?" I questioned, fiddling with my letterman sleeves. "Why would I tell you? So you can beat me up?" 

I was a little hurt, but I shook it off. "No I just wanted to know is all." 

I put my hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes and I saw the Liam that everyone saw. The anxious, nerdy, gay boy that melted around any hot guy. 

"Yes, I do like someone currently, but I don't think they like me back," he said breaking away from my gaze. "How do you know they don't?" I asked moving a lot closer.

"Niall," he whispered. 

"Liam," I whispered back. The next thing I knew I was kissing Liam and it felt so nice. I felt free. 

"Niall," he said breaking our kiss, "I like you and only you. I was kind of excited when you winked at me and left that note my desk saying to meet you here after school. Won't us dating ruin your reputation though?" 

"Liam, I like you so much and the fact that I can't have you only makes me want you more," I said looking down. Liam stepped even closer to me and leaned in once more. I looked around to make sure no one was around and I leaned in for another sweet kiss. 

As our lips touched someone came from behind the corner. "Liam?" Liam pulled away. It was some girl. "Hey Jordan," he said rubbing the back of his neck. "Niall is that you?" she asked. "Yea," I sighed. "Liam I thought we were walking home together?" she questioned. "Jordan I told you that I was meeting up with Niall after school and that I would find you after," he said kind of getting angry with her. "I know it's just I didn't want him to be tricking you and have the whole football team come and beat you up, I was just worried," she said. "Jordan I am fine obviously because Niall likes me back," he smiled and turned to me. 

I just smiled. I grabbed his hand and intertwined mine with his. "Aww," she coo'd. "Jordan you have to promise not to tell anyone, at least not yet," Liam assured her. "Liam you know I wouldn't do that," she exclaimed. "I know I was just checking." 

"Hey want to come over?" he asked me. "Sure," I said. "We have to walk Jordan home first," He told me. "That is fine with me," I said. We walked out of school holding hands, but Jordan would warn us if someone was coming so that we could let go of each other's hands. 

Sometimes when people would go by Liam would pretend that he was dating Jordan and when the guys would check her out he would be all protective. He was adorable. After we dropped Jordan off Liam and I found the nearest bush and hid behind it shared another kiss. His lips were so soft. 

After our little make-out session we walked to Liam's house. I was so happy that I could call Liam mine.
