Memories

Chapter 28

*Niall's POV*

I walked down to the kitchen with my phone near my ear, "Dad, I know... Yes, I'm doing fine over here."

I see a worried look on Stephanie's face. "Ok, love you too, bye," I closed the phone and stuffed it in my pocket.

"What happened?" Stephanie asked as I sat down on a chair in front of her.

"He just wanted to know when I'm going back home, he's the one who forced me over here," I told her.

My dad always confused me. He makes me come over here and now wants me back home? Ever since my mom has left he's been more protective lately, I'm guessing he doesn't want to lose any one else in his life. But I'm old enough to know what the hell I'm doing.

"What did you tell him?" Stephanie asked breaking me from my thoughts, I look up to see her biting her bottom lip.

I sighed, "I don't know, what should I do?"

She shrugged, "If you like it over here then stay."

I smiled, "Ok, I will."

*Stehanie's POV*

I was happy that Niall wanted to stay.

"Man, I just want to get drunk again and hook up, I love New York," Niall said laying his head down on the table, his forehead pressing against it.

I scoffed, "Boys will be boys."

He chuckled and brought his head back up, "Like you don't feel the same way?"

I shot a glance at him, he was right though, I haven't had sex in months. Kevin was the last guy I've had it with. God, do I regret that. If I knew he was an asshole I would have never been with him. I shivered remembering this. I looked up at Niall and smiled instead.

"Shut up," I told him.

He smiled and shook my hair with his hand.

"Hey!" I laughed as I went for his sides and tickled him, good thing he was still ticklish.

I remember us doing this all the time when we were younger...

He laughed and did the same to me.

I was soon on the floor, he hurdled over me, his legs on my sides and started tickling me more.

"Niall. I. Surrender. Stop!" I said through struggled breaths. My tears were falling from laughter. He laughed and stopped tickling me.

He got off of me and laid next to me instead. I turned my body to him as he did the same.

His eyes were now a deep dark blue, he smiled.

"You're too funny," I said bringing my arm to ruffle his hair.

He chuckled.

*Niall's POV*

I smoothed my hair down with my hand and smiled at Steph who was still breathing a bit hard from laughing too much. Damn, was she different than I remembered.

Something about Stephanie made me feel diffrent now.

In a good way.

In a great way.
