Little Black Dress (NIALL HORAN)

Confrontation

I can't believe that right now I'm actually excited to go home. I've cursed my pad before. Hated the fact that I live here alone but now I seem to have a reason to stay. Although I'm in the stage of denial to what I'm feeling towards Megan but I'm pretty sure that no matter what it is, its giving me the kick that I never thought I would feel again.

With a handful of grocery bags on hand I whistled my way to my pad. Jake is there sitting on the floor with a cigarette on hand. I don't understand why Megan likes him. He's older than her, not that I'm not but I'm sure he's much older.

"She's not yet home" I said to make him leave before Megan arrives but he ignores me and went inside as I open the door.

"What do you want?"

"Meg"

"She doesn't wanna see you"

"Look kid, I don't know what you're up to but get the hell out of it"

"I know what you're doing to her"

"She told you and your okay with it?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what here,take this"he said giving me a callingcard.

"Call me and lets have a deal coz I can see you seem to be interested with Meg and I know you can afford the service"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not telling you unless your buying, I'll wait for her in her room" he said.

"No, here. I know this is what your after" I said giving him money. He counts it with a grin.

"Fair enough"

He left even before Megan arrives leaving me staring at the card he gave me. It has his name on Jake Russell and his number. Service? What could it be?

Its seven in the evening but Megan is still out, I'm staring at the card trying to figure what to do with it. If she wants out of whatever she's into I'm sure its not good. I decided to call Jake.

"Hello?"

"Uhmm.. its Niall"

"Oh, didn't expect for you to call too soon"

"Lets meet"

"Sure, where?"

"You decide"

I'm now sitting across Jake in a bar just down the street. If I was my older self I'd be scared knowing anytime soon someone would recognize me but no, not now. I have to do this for Megan.

"So.. you called because?" Jake said.

"I want to know everything"

"Everything? You sure?"

"Yes, I'll pay you"

"Now we're talking. What do you want to know?"

"What Megan is doing?"

"She's booked tonight"

"Booked? What do you mean?"

"Look boy, if you want to know you have to have a schedule. She's free tomorrow"

"What are you doing to her?"

"Nothing, we're just trying to earn"

"Where is she?"

"I said she's booked today. Do you want an appointment tomorrow or not?"

"Tonight"

"Don't you understand? I told you..."

"I'll double the price"

"I'm listening"

"Take me to her"

"Fine, lets go"

We left the bar and went to a hotel just a few blocks away. When we're in the elevator my heart is pounding, afraid of what I might see. Jake is talking to someone in the phone which I think is the person schedule with Megan tonight. The elevator arrived at the fortyfifth floor and now we finally reach our destination. Room 4502. Before he knock Jake turn to face me.

"A thousand bucks" he said with his hand open.

"Are you paying or not?"

I took the money in my wallet and hand it him. He smiled looking at the bill he has on hand.

"She's all yours" he said tapping my shoulder before he left. I'm stuck infront of the door trying to decide whether to knock or not. Megan's inside and if she opens the door there's no turning back. Am I ready to know the secret she's hiding?
