Ch 20
Niall’s POV
Hannah came out seeming more sober than before.
“What was that about?”
“Nothin.” She shook her head.
“Nothing?”
“Yeah. You heard it all.”
“I did.”
Her buzz was killed. I kissed her cheek. We heard her name being called so we looked around.
Of course, it was Austin. “Hannah!” he called. He was walking off of the dance floor. I grabbed her around the waist even tighter.
Hannah’s POV
Austin walked over but I saw the smile on his face turn to just a smirk when he saw Niall was right next to me.
“What’s up?” he looked directly at me, not paying any attention to Niall.
“Nothing. Just hangin out now. You look like you’re having fun.” I smiled at him. He was incredibly sweaty.
“Yeah, definitely! It’s fun dancing out there. You should come.” He said, emphasizing so that Niall would get the hint. But when Niall didn’t let my waist go he looked at him. I could see the mental messages Austin was sending him, in his eyes I saw Fuck Off. Niall kept his grip around me.
“I think I’ve danced enough for tonight. I’m kind of tired now.” I said, trying to force a yawn.
I felt Niall chuckle a bit.
“I’ll be right back though!” I got out of Niall’s hold and walked back to the bathroom, basically to my doom.
They were all still there, gossiping, about me. “I should have beaten her ass.” I heard the red head say, then they noticed I was there. They shot dirty looks but then went back to fixing their hair. I saw Angela struggling to actually be a part of the whole primping process. But truthfully, she looked more beautiful than all of them. She had long, dark curly hair and small features. She was thin but looked fit. She kind of reminded me of Jade Thirlwall.
“Angela!” I called to her and smiled. She smiled back and I waved her over. “Let’s go dance.” I said. She walked over and I grabbed her hand to pull her out.
“Why do you hang out with them?” I asked her. The music was so loud!
“I’m not quite sure. They’re all a bunch of petty slags.” She said. She was British. Her accent was adorable and fit her. She took off her big rimmed glasses to wipe them.
“Wait!” I said to her. “You have really gorgeous eyes! Leave the glasses with me!”
“I won’t be able to see very far without them.” She giggled.
“You won’t need to. Just pay attention to what’s in front of you.” I smiled. I fixed her hair and then checked her outfit. She was all good to go. “Let’s go.”
Niall’s POV
“Dude, let her breathe!” Austin said to me.
“Mind your own business.” I said. “She does what she wants and I have no problem with that.”
“Are you kidding me? You hold onto her like she’s a million bucks!” He fixed his hair.
“What do you mean?” I asked, offended. She’s worth everything.
“You tie her down like a fucking dog! Let her give another guy a chance instead of making her feel obligated to stay with you.”
My face got hot and I stepped forward, fists clenched.
“You need to sort your life out. She’s already mine. There is no ‘sharing’ or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Hannah’s mine, you have no chance, ‘mate.’” I mocked him and stepped closer again. We were almost chest to chest.
“We’ll see about that.” Austin said back, I pushed him slightly and he pushed me back.
“HEY!” Hannah yelled and got in between us. “What the fuck are you guys doing?”
I didn’t say anything. I just kept my eyes on Austin.
“Austin.” Hannah said, I looked at her, wondering what she could possibly be saying to him.
“This is Angela.” She said and shoved the girl toward him. I recognized her, but she looked completely different from any other time I had seen her.
Hannah’s POV
“Angela, this is Austin.” I smiled. Austin’s face was still serious but softened up a bit. He looked more hurt than anything. I didn’t know if it was because of the almost fight or because I was setting him up with another girl.
“Nice to meet you.” He shook her hand and grimaced.
She just smiled and shook.
“Go dance!” I encouraged them both. I saw Angela’s smile grow even bigger, she pulled Austin out on the dance floor. I saw him look back at me; he looked sad.
“Wanna get out of here?” Niall nodded towards the door.
“Yeah, let’s go.” I grabbed his hand and we walked out of the door.
“Where to?” He asked.
“I don’t know. Let’s go to the lido.” I suggested. His expression and body language seemed to become less tense by the time we got into the elevator to go to the 10th floor. He kissed me as we waited for the elevator to stop.
We walked out and felt the warm, humid air around us. It felt nice.
“Finally, we’re alone.” He said and kissed me again.
