The Phantom Of Our Love
Stepping Up
"That was- uhh- it was nice. I really enjoyed myself." I say as I as blush violently.
"Really? I couldn't describe the special feeling I felt when I met you so that was the easiest way to tell you." he says nervously.
"Niall, it's OK. I found that kiss very enlightening. I think you are such an amazing person but-" I start as he cuts me off.
"But you don't like me that way. I understand. Do you like one of the lads? You wouldn't be the first to put me down as second best." he says and I can see him starting to get choked up. Was he about to cry?
"Niall! Look at me!" he turns his head and I see his eyes slightly glossy and water building up on his lower lash line. "You didn't let me finish. You are an amazing person, BUT I don't think you deserve someone like me. You deserve someone way better."
"But I just had this feeling when I saw you. Then your accent, you speak Spanish, you are smart, and by far the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." he sas before he kisses me again. "Please. . . I have waited so long to find a girl to be my princess and I think you are her. I can feel it."
"Let's get to know each other first Niall. I just met you like four hours ago." I smile and he lets out a little laugh. I give him a quick peck on the lips and he blushes so much I could hardly stifle my giggling. He started the car then wrapped is arm around the top of my seat.
When he took me home he pulled into the driveway and walked me to the door. From there he kissed my hand and slipped a little paper into it. I looked down at the paper and realized it was his number and it said 'You and me. Tonight at 8. Bobby's Diner.' I smiled and when I looked up he had already pulled out of the driveway and was on his way.
As I opened the front door I was met with an upset Drew.
"Where the hell have you been all day?!" he screams. I laugh and walk past him. "I don't want a fucking drug addict living with me and my kids!" When he said that I froze. Is that really how he felt?
"Drug addict?! Really Drew?! Is that what you think I do all day?! Are you fucking kidding me?!" I yell back at him before running to my bathroom and crying. I locked the door and sat in front of it just like I did as a child.
"Lily. . . Lily open up." he beckons. "I'm sorry I was just really upset. . . Please. . ." I ignore his constant attempts to make me come out of the bathroom.I just sat there with my head in my lap. I just sit there and cry.
I started to get bored after an hour of being locked in the bathroom so I started looking around for things to entertain myself with. As I was looking under the sink I found a box of black hair dye. I looked closer and realized there was two boxes. That's just enough for my hair. Thank God for Zoe.
I pulled out the hairdye and put on my gloves. I mixed all he chemicals and started to apply the dye when a heard a knock on the bathroom door.
"Who is it and what do you want?!" I yell trying to sound sa annoyed as possible.
"Lily. What is that smell? Will it harm Mackie or Lolo if they are exposed to it?" asks Drew.
"NO Drew." I shout as I continue applying my hair dye. It's now time for the sitting process. I grab my cellphone and the paper Niall gave me. I smile at the paper as I save the number in my phone with a cute little '<3' next to it. I decide to text him.
To: Niall <3
Heyy! It's Lily ;) I just wanted to make sure you had my number too..
From: Niall <3
Thanks! I was thinking I wouldn't hear from you! Very glad I did! So what are you doing?
To: Niall <3
Just doing my hair. It will be quite a surprise for tonight! I hope you like it!
From: Niall <3
What's not to like about you? I know! Nothing!
To: Niall <3
Well.. It's time for me to finish my hair. I will see you tonight!
From: Niall <3
Ok. Can't wait to see you later, love!
I wash most of the dye out in the sink first because it makes me itch. Then I hop in the shower to finish washing out the dye. When I get out I'm super pleased with how my hair looks. I smile and realize that I can be whoever I want to!
I dry my hair and look at myself. I love me for me! I'm so proud of who I will be again! First step to being new: Forgiveness. I open the bathroom door and see Drew sitting right there as if he was staring at the door.
"Brother! Rise before the presence of Queen Lilliana the First!" I say aloud and he looks up surprised at first but smiles. "You may get down on one knee now peasant." he obeys. "I, Queen Lilliana the First, have granted you forgiveness. Now don't mess up this time you big jerkwad!" I yell before walking into my room leaving him with a big smile on his face.
