Tattooed Memories *n.h.*

ROSE

Louis made himself comfortable on my bed and pulled out his phone. I grabbed the clothes he picked out and went into the bathroom.

I changed into the burgundy corduroy skirt, a simple black t-shirt and a my leather jacket. I had to say, this outfit was pretty cute. Louis did a great job picking it out in such a short amount of time. I loosely curled my hair using my curling iron with the biggest barrel on it. My makeup was a little dramatic then what I usually do just on a normal day. I had a neutral smokey eye with browns and gold and then a dark burgundy lipstick.

I walked out into the bedroom part of my dorm and over to my big closet. I needed to find a nice pair of shoes to go with my outfit. After a few minutes, I settled on my favorite pair of black Acne Studio boots. Then went into the room to slid them on.

"I'm ready," I replied and looked at the boy on my bed. He looked up from his phone and stood to his feet.

"Alright. Thought you would take a little longer, but I guess we aren't gonna be late like I told them," He teased with a smile as I followed him out of my room after grabbing my purse.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever Lou," I said as we walked out to his car. "So who is all going?"

I climbed into the passenger seat while he got into the driver seat. "Uh... Liam, Zayn, Pez, Niall, Harry, and I think Li and Harry are bringing some girls they've been seeing." He said as he started to drive towards the pub. "So I guess you're my date."

I shrugged. "That's fine with me," I replied and looked over at him. He kept his eyes on the road. "I'm just not kissing you at the end of the night." He just chuckled lightly since he knew that I was joking.

We pulled up to a nice looking building. I could hear music and people talking from outside as I got out of the car. Louis met me at the front and we walked inside together. There was tvs on every corner of the walls with different sports on each one. A bartop was in the middle and tables were set around it. Our group was in the far right corner, in front of the telly that was showing a football game.

"Hey," I greeted when I approached them. Perrie turned to me and smiled. Then pulled me into a hug.

"I'm so glad you're here," She said over the music. "I didn't think you were gonna come."

I frowned lightly as I looked at her. "Why?" I asked, confused.

"Because of everything that happened the past few days." Perrie replied. She shrugged. Then leaned close to my ear. "And Niall kept asking if you were gonna show up." She pulled away with a smile and went over to Zayn.

"Here babe," Louis said and handed me a beer. I thanked him before taking a drink and turned my attention to the football game.

"Glad you could make it," an Irish accent said from beside me. I looked over to see Niall and nodded.

"Yeah. Lou invited me," I replied. I looked back at the TV to see England score a goal. I cheered with everyone else and high fived Louis. Niall was watching me with a smile. "What?"

He shrugged with a small chuckle. "Nothing. I just didn't know you liked football." He replied.

"Well there's a lot of things you don't know about me." I told him. He nodded in understanding.

"But I'd like to get to know you better," he said. Our friends cheered as they got another goal. He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his back pocket. 'I'm gonna go out to have a smoke. Want to join?"

I shrugged. "Sure," I replied and followed his out the back door. We stepped out into an empty alley. He placed the cigarette in between his pink lips and pulled a lighter out of his pocket. He lit it before handing me the pack and lighter. I took one and lit it myself. Then took long drag.

"It kind of surprises me you like to smoke too." Niall said with a small smile as he watched me.

"I don't do it often," I replied as I looked at my surroundings. We sat there for a few minutes while we smoked our cigarettes. When I finished mine, I threw it down to the pavement and stomped the tip with my boot. Niall did the same as he watched me, which he had been doing a lot tonight.

We sat there for a few seconds, just staring at each other. Then all of a sudden he pushed me up against the wall with his body pressed against mine. I gasped. "You have no idea what you're doing to me," he said softly as he looked into my eyes before pressing his lips to mine. His hands gripped my hips while mine went up to the back of his neck as I kissed him back.

He slid his hand down to my thigh and hiked my leg up to his hip. His fingers played with the bottom of my skirt. "You're so sexy.." he mumbled as his lips trailed down to my neck.

I sighed and pushed him away. "We shouldn't be doing this.." I said and fixed my skirt back into the right place. He frowned.

"What do you mean? You didn't like it?" Niall asked as he looked at me, confused.

I shook my head. "That's not what I'm saying," I said. "I like relationships, Niall.. Not hook ups. And after what happened yesterday, I don't want anything to do with a guy besides friendship at the moment.." He nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry." He said. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

"It's fine." I told him. "Let's just go back in." He nodded again before following me back into the pub.
