Let's Play Pretend [Niall Horan AU]

• 31

I got blue light blocking glasses :) I've been spending wayyy too much time with my devices to a point where it's fucking unhealthy but oh what the hell?

Do you think they work? Or like do you have a pair? I mean I've worn it for a day and I've not really stared at a bright screen for THAT long so I'm not sure.

Anyway, pointless rant aside, go ahead and have fun!

"Fucking hell, Niall!" I banged on his door. He threw the door open and looked at me with a bored expression.

"Niall if you want to have sex fucking call someone over to your place. Don't ogle over them in a public place!" I scolded.

"What the fuck are you on about?" He asked.

"Did you not go on your phone?! Everybody is confused about your little escapade with this random girl. Fuck, Andrew is calling me," I said, noticing the ringing phone in my hand.

"Yeah?" I got cut of before that single syllable could even escape my mouth.

"What the fuck is going on?! Where's Niall?! That bitch is fucking dead when I see him!" Andrew yelled. I winced and pulled the phone away from my ear.

"I'm with Niall right now," I said.

"Two of you, my office, 10 minutes," He said and ended the call.

"You're so fucked," I shook my head. I heard small yipping coming from behind Niall. I grabbed Pepper and her bag and set her down in the car. Niall has changed into something decent before getting into my car. We drove down to my manager's office and I was bracing myself for what was about to go down.

"Why the fuck do you want to ruin everything?!" Trevor yelled. Damn, he plays the 'pissed fiancée' role better than I ever would. No Alexa, not the time to be cracking jokes.

"Fuck off! Your stupid fucking plan is not ever going to work asshole! They don't buy this bullshit for a second," Niall seethed.

"Not your fucking decision to make Niall! The two of us work our asses off to make you improve in your jobs but what do we get in return?! Complete and utter disrespect!" Andrew shouted.

"Hey I've been following your rules like the bible," I said and the two managers just glared at me. Andrew walked towards me, towering over me. We were the same height but he was always over dominant with me.

"And you, you're no saint yourself. The more fucking time you spend away and the more breaks you take, the worse your career's going to become. You're going to fucking fail in life-," Andrew got cut off by Niall.

"Will you stop fucking harassing her like that?! None of that stupid bullshit is true and you fucking know it! Stop trying to scare her into working for you!" Niall said angrily, stepping between the two of us and almost shoving Andrew back.

Well, what the fuck?

"Niall this is none of your business. Fucking stay on your side of the industry," Andrew threatened.

"No. What the fuck will you do? Ruin me? Oh sure, go right fucking ahead!" Niall scoffed and threw his hands up in annoyance.

"Jesus no don't do that. Andrew I know. I'll get back to work. It's totally my bad-," Niall cut me off with a loud groan.

"You need to stop playing into his fuckery, Lexa. Fucking open your eyes. This bitch is straight up exploiting you and you let him do it," Niall said, looking at Andrew with raw disgust. His tone with me was completely different than his with Andrew. He wanted to actually punch Andrew but with me it sounds like a plea. A plea to recognise what's happening to me.
