I quickly unwrapped my legs off of Niall’s torso, smoothing out my shirt with my sweaty palms. He too noticing me, turned around instantly, and paced away.

Maybe it wasn’t Harry. Maybe I was just dream or something.

“Just wanted to stop by and see how ya were. I’m gonna head of get some stuff for the flat..and I’ll see ya sometime tonight?” Coming back into reality, I nodded my head.

“Yea I have to talk to Zai, and we can plan sometime out tonight in either of our flats. Okay?” Niall agreed, and I waved him a goodbye, before peeking back inside.

“I mean I love my brother, but boy do you have some hot boy toys.” Zai laughed, startling me.

“Geez, let a girl walk through the door first.! And for your information Niall isn’t a boy toy! He’s one of my closest guy friends” I puffed, crossing my arms, trying to send out some sort of ‘I’m not dating him signal’

“So he isn’t the boy you aren’t quite over yet. Wait…So this tool is Niall Horan? You should top it off saying Harry Styles is the boy who you have troubled romance with” She laughed, but her smile soon dropped, as she noticed that I wasn’t laughing along with her.

“NO WAY! Harry…and MY brother got you to get your mind of off him? That’s a shocker.”

“Zai! You’re brother’s a nice guy.”

“Yea he’s just not for you.”

“I…”

“Admit it Lia….” She arched a brow at me.

“I feel bad, I couldn’t say no to him. Your brother was so sweet, and he cared a little. Harry’s sort of an arse.”

“Yea he is, and although I love my brother. From what I heard, I don’t think everything just going to magically disappear. You’re going to have to deal with it sometime. And Harry seems smitten with you. All the boys do.”

“Eh I guess…By the way! Did Griffin call you?”

“YES! I almost peed myself, I was so overwhelmed. I heard they have a new model, and she’ll be catwalking the 12 million dollar bra.” She huffed. “Wish it was me, but I also heard…ya know from the grapevine, that they have two. It just depends on the model. Some don’t want to be competing with others so they just show one.”

I fidgeted a little, feeling a little awkward that I was the one who was the new model, and that I was catwalking the 12 million dollar bra.

“What aren’t you telling me! I’ve just met you, and I can tell when your hiding something.” She crossed her arms giving me a stern look.

“Well erm, I’m finally going to able to catwalk at the show……and I’ll be doing it with the 12 million dollar bra.”

“Oh my god girl. You Lucky Bitch! WE NEED TO CELEBRATE!” She shrieked, jumping up and down like a toddler who just got her favorite Barbie doll for Christmas.

Laughing like a maniac, she stopped, turned and stayed silent. “Invite Harry.”

“NO WAY!”

“Yes way…my brother can find someone new. YOU need to get back with Harry.”

“I was never with him to begin with! I don’t see a point.!”

“Don’t bullshit me!” She pointed a finger at me, but I nibbled on the tip as payback.

“What are you two up too?” I jumped slightly, noticing Niall by the doorway.

“Sorry, I wanted to see if you wanted to go out tonight instead of tomorrow and you never answered ya damn phone.” I gave him a face, digging in my back pocket for my phone noticing I had 3 missed calls and two texts in Caps.

“Eh sorry?”

“So yeah, you and you’re fit friend over here can go get some clothes? Meet me back at my place? Names Niall by the way. Just so ya know what you’ll be screaming at night.” He extended his hand out to her, and a look of disgust washed over her face.

“NIALL! Don’t be an arse.” I budded in.

“Never in your wildest dreams Horan. Just because you’re you, doesn’t mean you can get everything.” She scoffed.

“Says the girl who had plastic surgeons to get her to where she is now.”

I stood there, mouth agape, as I watched their dispute. She was smart, he was spiteful, and to be honest, as much as I thought Niall was a hottie, they would make a cute couple. She would ground him, and he’d arouse her into disputes. Plus Ellie was not for him, and I think every band member saw that.

“Sorry sweetie, I’m all natural. I don’t know how Lia puts up with you.” She gave him a glare, crossing her arms.

“That’s because we actually have chemistry, unlike you. I don’t know why I’m getting into this Lia let’s go.” He yanked my hand, pulling me from my little day dream of them. Zai grabbing another arm, pulled me towards her.

“Absolutely not, get your filthy little leprechaun hands off of her.”

He let out a loud chuckle. “Listen bitch she’s mine. Emphasis on MINE. You have your little brother’s filthy paws all over her. So I suggest you back up before…” And with every few words, he’d come closer towards her. As much as I thought Zai was tall and lean, he towered over her, making her look frail and small.

“Before WHAT. Hmm…” She practicaly growled, and I almost went insane. This is what you call a love hate relationship. As I watched them both practically ooze anger, I knew this needed to be stopped.

But before I could Niall took one step closer, and leaned in real close to her. “That pretty little face will be f..”

“JUST STOP IT! I can’t believe you guys..” And I knew I blew.

Niall’s head was the first to turn.

“This is beyond ridiculous! YOU..” I stuck my index finger out at him. “I am not yours, and neither am I property. So YOU should not be pushing your buttons.”

“AND YOU! I just met you, and as much as you’re a doll, Niall’s also my closet friend right now. He may be an ass, but as long as were friends you BOTH must deal with each other. There’s obviously unnecessary tension.” I paused a bit, as my chest rose and fell from the amount of anger I was letting out.

“Stefan’s an amazing guy, but if this is the outcome of it, I’d rather call quits, and ditch both of you. NOW…once you make a treaty, and make some terms….stay away from me….And once you stop acting like teenage twats in a relationship…I’ll be by the shops…shopping for a HAPPY celebration….” And with that I grabbed my purse, and headed towards the door. Shivering as soon as I stepped out, I felt a large hand grab my wrist and spin me around. Falling into a strong hard chest, Niall stood there, giving me a big blue puffy puppy eyed pout.

“I’m sorry Lia..I didn’t mean to upset you…It’s just she thinks she’s all that, and it pissed me off. I don’t want to ruin our friendship, and I sure as hell don’t want my action fucking up you and Harry getting back together..” At first, I was forgiving. For I knew he hadn’t meant to start a fight, but him saying he wanted Harry and I back together kind of stung. He knew I vented to him, and to have him want Harry and I back together made me feel like he didn’t truly understand me.

“Niall…as much as I love you, and I would do anything for you…Harry and I aren’t getting together.. We never had, nor will we. I don’t tolerate being a fling, or a toy he can just play around with. As a matter of fact Zai and you are on the same boat, SO don’t go acting like she isn’t wanting what you do. I can do just fine on my own, and can easily find someone new to fall for.”

“Lia..I know Harry too, and theres two sides. Zai and I will sort differences, and make peace. MAYBE for you, we can become acquaintances. But that’s not my point…Course you can just say falling for someone new is easy, but you can’t just find someone attractive, and kiss him, and move on from the previous.. You just can’t…” But for some reason something just urged me to prove him wrong.

And in the blink of an eye, I grabbed Niall’s face, and kissed him passionately. His warm lips pressed into mine, sent a warm tingle all over, nothing compared to Harry’s but something you could get accustomed too. I pulled back quickly, and peered up at out of breath, and completely confused Niall.

“It is easy..” And I walked away, but was swooped back again. This time not kissing him, but him kissing me.

“Sorry…I ….reflex…I should go…” He scratched the back of his head, and I looked over to see starstruck Zai. A obvious smirk plastered across her face…but she mouthed ‘I’m sorry’ before grabbing Niall and pulling him indoors.
