Chapter 172

Niall POV

I did buy a few things but not exactly what I had in mind. I wouldn't call it a successful trip to the supermarket but at least I did end up with a bag. After we got home, I saw Kelsey's message about skyping instead of just talking over the phone. I wasn't amused at first, since hello I looked and still look like a mess. But whatever the girl wants, the girl gets. I am so whipped. Dear God, help me.

"I'll be upstairs. See you tomorrow." I announce before walking out of the kitchen.

"You don't want dinner? What happened to you?" Louis seems surprised and no I can't blame him. Kelsey happened, that's the answer I am about to give him but end up saying something else.

"Nope not tonight. But a full English breakfast it is for me tomorrow morning." I won't tell them how hungry I actually am. I definitely wouldn't mind pasta but I only have 30 minutes left. To take a needed a shower and to look at least a bit representable.

"He's whipped. He even declines a proper meal. I don't wanna know where this is gonna end." Unfortunately, Louis is right. Didn't I just think that 30 seconds ago?

Instead of saying something, I decide it's the best to just leave them behind. I shouldn't waste any time. When I make it to my room, the first thing I do is to check my phone in case Kelsey has changed her mind. But there's no message, only two missed calls, one from my mother and one from Greg. Not that important, otherwise they would have called more than once, right? I throw my phone back onto my bed and grab a jumper, a clean pair of jeans as well as boxers before hurrying to the bathroom.

Just when I'm about to strip off my clothes, I hear my phone going off in my room. "Damnit." Maybe the missed call from my mum was important. I sprit out of the bathroom and find Liam on the phone. On my phone.

"Oh hi Mauren. It's Liam here. No... Niall's having a shower." Liam turns around, spotting me leaning against the door frame.

"Oh wait, he's actually here. Still dressed. How are you by the way? ... Oh yeah I'm good, thank you. Niall looks kinda angry so I better hand him the phone. Talk to you soon, Maura. Was lovely chatting to you." What an idiot.. I mean Liam is nice and friendly but not that nice. He is definitely pulling a "I am Liam and I am the most friendly person on this freaking planet".

Kelsey POV

"Kelsey, please. You never play with me." Have I mentioned that Nate can be such a pain in the arse? Well here you go, he is the worst, basically not getting out of my way and not letting me get off the couch.

"Nate. I always play with you." I once again try to push myself up but Nate's got other plans. With all his strength, he pushes me back, so I land on my bum. Again.

"That is a lie. We both know it." Maybe it is a lie. Why must be so clever? Why can't I be stuck with a very very dumb kid?

"It is not. I've already got plans tonight. How about we make a deal?" Please let him agree, please let him agree. Yep that's what I keep thinking. Praying. Begging. Maybe it ends up helping.

"What kind of deal?" Nate crosses his amrs in front of his chest, one eyebrow raised, looking at me like I've come from another planet.

"I don't know? I mean I can offer you to play with you for the next three days, every evening and you let me go upstairs?" He will never agree. Never.

"Not enough. I'm okay with those three days but I want more. I tell you.. we go shopping and I get new toys. You pay." Great. I'll be broke then.

"Whatever.. okay. Yes. Can I go now?"
