Chap 17:

Part 1: Good bye, daddy.

Bella’s POV

I was wrapping clothes for Niall. He had so many clothes that I couldn’t count. All of them were very expensive and fashionable.
“How is your mom now, Bella?” Niall asked while I was trying to put as many clothes as possible into the suitcase.
I answered:
“Catherina is still very ill. My dad has to take care of her. With Henry’s food, she will recover soon.”
Niall laughed:
“Really? Wow!”
“Yup! My mom can’t cook, so she has to eat in restaurants while she is travelling. And now she gets a hole in her stomach.”

Niall smiled:
“Poor her! Do आप think your dad can dealt with that himself?”
I finished with the clothes, going to lie beside Niall, saying:
“Absolutely! Henry is very good at that kind of job. I always wish to have a husband like my dad.”
Niall took my left hand and put it in his chest, teasing:
“Oh, it seems rather hard for me.”
I laughed and pinched his nose:
“I’m not going to marry you, little kid.”
Niall soothingly put my head on his arm, joking:
“So who are आप going to marry, sister?”
I kissed his cheek, teasing:
“|Oh, let me see... Justin Drew Bieber.”
He yelled:
“God! Him? He’s mine. I thought आप don’t like him.”
I laughed:
“You प्यार him और than me?”

He acted as if he had done something wrong and it was so cute:
“No, no. I just admire him. आप know, Justin Bieber is my idol.”
I couldn’t help laughing:
“Stupid Nialler! I’m just teasing you. I don’t like Justin.”
“So who will आप marry? – He rolled his eyes sexily.”
I kissed his nose gently:
“Niall James Horan. Of course if he asks me.”
When Niall was about to किस me back, I had a call. It was my dad:
“Bella, it’s time to go.”

Then the band and I hurriedly came to my house in Louis’s car. They were so excited about visiting my house, especially Liam. He was deeply in प्यार with Hannah. द्वारा the way, Liam helped Hannah a lot in her study. Her scores were much better these days. But I knew for sure she just studied for Liam, not for her. I still got the highest marks and Mihrap was always the second. Recently, I hadn’t seen Vicky any longer. She changed her class in order not to meet me. Sometimes I felt tired of being jealous of, but whenever I saw Niall’s smile, every bad thing went away because I knew that there was still one person that I could totally trust. Finally, we reached my house. My dad was standing in front of the door. I opened the car door, shouting:
“Daddy, let’s go with us.”
He immediately got into the car, smiling:
“I can’t wait to see Catherina.”

Niall said:
“Mr. Lockwood, I really admire your love.”
Henry messed my hair and teased me:
“Yup! That प्यार gave me this beautiful daughter.”
Harry said:
“Yeah, she is amazing. She makes our Niall get crazy about her.”
Liam took advantages to announce:
“Uhm... Mr. Lockwood, I’m Hannah’s boy friend.”
My dad laughed:
“Oh, really? आप must be Liam...uhm... Liam Payne, right? Hannah keeps talking about आप all the time. Does she annoy you?”

Liam smiled flitily:
“Of course, she is annoying but so cute. I’m really into her.”
When my dad was laughing, suddenly he stopped to look at Zayn, who was sitting silently looking outside. He asked me:
“Who is that guy? He looks really familiar. Do I know him?”
I answered:
“He is Zayn Malik. He is my best friend. But...uhm... I don’t think आप know him.”
He was a bit confused.
“Zayn... Malik...Malik. I’m sure I know him but now I can’t remember.”
I smiled:
“Maybe आप saw his name on the newspaper...”
All of a sudden, Louis announced:
“Here the airport is.”

Louis opened the door for my dad while Niall took his suitcase out of the car.
“Please go this way, Mr. Lockwood.” Louis smiled.
They were all vert good gentlemen. Henry came to hug me tightly. He said:
“Take care, honey.”
I cried a bit:
“Daddy, please tell Catherina that I miss her so much. And come घर soon. I will miss you, Henry.”
My dad wiped my tears away, saying:
“Okey, Bella. I प्यार you.”

I kissed Henry’s cheek and waved him until he got into the ticket room. Niall covered my shoulders with his arms, whispering:
“Okey, love. From now on, I will take care of my girlfriend.”
I smiled happily and got into the car with him.
