Skinny Love

Chapter Seven - "We're Friends?"

I was rudely awoken by the sound of a door slam and keys being pushed through my mail box. Inconsiderate arsehole could have been quieter. I noticed the snapback he had been wearing last night lying on my bedroom floor, I decided I would walk by the frat house later and drop it off, once Logan had dropped by, I knew I would need to clear my head, a walk would do me good.

Niall's POV

Two nights in the same girls bed was just wrong, what the hell was I doing? I should have left once I woke up curled on her sofa, I couldn't help myself I wanted to feel her body against mine, have her tiny fingers wrap around my wrist as I held her. Fucking idiot. I ran into the frat house to find Liam and Harry sitting in the sofa staring at the TV,

"The wanderer returns" Harry shouted as I walked in and sat on the chair opposite,

"Where did you sneak off to last night?" Liam raised his eyebrow,

"Went to the store"

"And returned at 11am?"

"I gave Izzie a ride home, we played Fifa and I fell asleep, is that ok?"

They exchanged confused looks and I shrugged them off, I went to lie in my own bed, I haven't slept in here for two nights, I can't help myself, I really wanna fuck her. I want her to give in. Last night she looked so pretty, like naturally pretty, barely any makeup but she’d still made the effort, I couldn’t believe I only saw her when she was leaving.

"Do you wanna go for food?" Liam asked popping his head around the door,

"Yeah, let me change, I'll drive"

Half an hour later we drove to a McDonalds 3 miles off campus, I ordered a 20 chicken nugget box, a large fries and a large coke. Liam, Harry and I sat at the table beside the door,

"Are you messing with Izzie?" Liam asked biting into his hamburger,

"We're friends?”

"You're friends with a girl?" They both laughed,

"What? She's cool, we play Fifa; she's one of the guys"

"That you wanna fuck?"

"Well yeah but she's good company and we have the assignment that's the only reason I've been round there so much" liar.

"Just don't treat her like a conquest, she's part of the group now more than ever and I don't want any tension ok?" Liam rolled his head on his neck,

"Mate relax" I sighed finishing off the nuggets.

"Liam?" We all turned our heads to see a tall brunette guy who was wearing a football jersey,

"Logan! Nice to see you mate" Liam stood and gave him a bro hug, Logan? Oh. Mate I ate ya ex out a couple of nights ago. Oh boy.

"This is Harry and that's Niall" he shook our hands, smiling,

"Nice to meet you"

"So how have you been?" He asked Liam,

"Yeah good mate you?"

"Yeah good, I'm seeing Izzie later" he rubbed the back of his neck,

"Yeah I heard"

"Yeah well I better go, teams waiting for me, I'll see you soon hopefully" he waved by and walked to find his team which were in line for food,

"I hate that guy” Liam muttered,

"Why?" I asked,

"Well he continually cheated on Izzie, they would split and get back together within a week because she always forgave him"
