Accidental Reunion
Chapter 14
Brooke's
POV
I was on the phone with Niall. He wanted to take me to lunch.
It's the first time I'm seeing him since he questioned
Karalyn about me, and it probably won't be much longer until
he figures out that we used to be best friends. I just don't
understand why he doesn't look in a yearbook or
something.
That would be much easier than me having to tell him.
I threw on a pair of skinny jeans and a striped cardigan along
with some cute riding boots that matched my outfit. I left my
hair wavy and walked down to the lobby. I sat down for a few
minutes, and eventually Niall arrived. I walked out to Niall,
wrapping my pea coat tighter around me.
"You look gorgeous." he said. He drove about twenty
minutes to a restaurant in downtown London.
I looked at the name on the sign and almost fainted. This
restaurant was the last place I saw Niall before I moved. I
didn't tell him until the day that I was moving, on my way to
the airport. This was where I stood and cried into his shoulder
for an hour, our arms wrapped each other and never wanting to let
go.
So why was he taking me here now?
We got out of the car and walked into the restaurant and were
taken to the back room, and sat at the exact same table where I
broke the news to Niall. Such a weird coincidence. This all was
too familiar. I didn't know if I could handle it.
I think Niall is positive that I used to be his best friend. Why
else would he go through the trouble of getting the exact same
table at the exact same restaurant where I probably shattered his
heart a few years back?
“This used to be one of my favorite restaurants.” He
told me as he lifted the menus I remembered so well, his blue
eyes flickering back and forth as he read the different names of
food.
“It looks nice.” I commented, something that
wasn’t a total lie. It looked nice like it did before I
left.
Such a simple, loving restaurant. He glanced up at me and a
small smile at the corner of his lips.
“What do you want? I recommend the bacon cheddar
salad."
“Sure, I’ll try it. You better not be messing with me
Horan.” I wagged my finger at him and narrowed my eyes, and
he chuckled.
“I wouldn’t lie to you.” He said, taking a
quick look at me before his attention turned back to the
menu.
We ordered our food, I had the salad and Niall had some
mostaccioli, which we both enjoyed. We had finished our food,
full and happy, and paid before walking back out of the
restaurant.
“Thanks for the meal, I enjoyed it.”
I said as I glanced back over my shoulder when I got into the
passenger side, and Niall stood right behind me.
“No problem. I’m glad you liked it.”
As soon as our eyes locked, I was mesmerized. He stared at me and
licked his bottom lip, looking down at mine. My breath was taken
away as my heartbeat raced. He leaned closer to me, his eyes
still locked on mine, and I bit my bottom lip.
Soon our lips connected, and the sparks flew. He closed in on my
and deepened it lightly, lifting a hand to caress the side of my
face. He soon pulled away and looked at my eyes, keeping his hand
on my face.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist.” He
whispered, and I shook my head.
“I didn’t mind. I loved it.”
A grin grew on his face, and I reached up and put my lips on his
once more.
