Chapter 13

We end up just going to some pizza place a few blocks down. When I'm we walk into the parlor, the smell is heavenly and I'm extremely hungry.

We get in the line to order, and I hear the bell at the door go off. I turn around and see Harry walk in with two other guys. One has dark hair, almost black and from what I can see light brown eyes. He has tattoos on his arms and chest like Harry. One other boy has a lighter shade of brown hair, and I can see he has tattoos as well, one very noticeable one is on the back of his forearm are a line of arrows. The other boy has the same light brown hair but a little longer, he has tattoos as well. They're all very attractive.

"Madison!" Harry says and walks over to me and Niall and greets me with a hug. I awkwardly hug him back. Why would he hug me? I haven't talked to him in forever and we've hung out once. I guess it's a kind gesture.

"Horan." Harry says and hits Niall on the back and Niall nods to all the boys.

I look back and forth between Niall and the four other guys.

"Uhm Madi, this is Zayn, Liam, and Louis." He says nodding towards the group of guys.

"I'm Zayn." The dark haired boy smiled.

"Liam." The boys with the arrows says with the same welcoming smile as Zayn.

"And I'm Louis." The other boy said and offered me his hand to shake.

"I just said that didn't i?" Niall laughs.

He's friendlier with the other boys, but the seems a little tense around Harry... Maybe because last time I was with the two of them Niall thought Harry was flirting with me.

"When'd you guys get back anyway?" Niall asks.

"Yesterday. You didn't fuck up my stuff did you?" Zayn says with a slight laugh.

What?

"Yeah Horan if you touched any of my shit." Liam says.

Oh, I remember. Niall had told me when I first met him that he shared a place with a few friends. They all have British accents so I assume that they maybe just got back from England or maybe America...I'm not sure. But these two must be his roommates. They must've just gotten back from a trip

"Fuck off." Niall laughs and walks up to the counter to order for us.

"So Madi, you're dating our boy Niall, yeah?" Zayn says.

"What? No-"

"They're not dating." Harry says. What? I know that he might've taken an interest in me when we first met, but for all he knows me and Niall could be dating (even though we aren't).

"So that means your free to ask out." Zayn states and takes his lips between his teeth.

I feel Niall walk over and put his hand on my back.

"Actually we're seeing eachother." He clenches his jaw, and the way he touches me in front of them it's like he's claiming his territory.

What? Is he putting a label on.. What we are?

"Dude chill out." Liam cuts in with a laugh.

"When are you lads coming back to the flat?" Niall changes the subject.

"We were going to tonight actually but I mean if you two are going to be making noise all night..." Zayn says looking between Niall and I.

My eyes go wide and all the boys laugh at me.

"He's kidding." Harry says.

"Oh..." I flush.

"Well come back when ever, but call first this time yeah?" Niall says as he grabs my hand and starts leading us out of the shop with a box of pizza in the other hand.

"Wait Madi!" I hear someone shout out and I turn around.

"We should hangout sometime? We never did." Harry says rubbing the back of his neck.

"Did you not hear me say we're seeing each other Styles?" Niall half laughs.

Harry just rolls his eyes, "Text me." He says to me and I nod.

Niall and I walk out back to his car and drive back to his apartment.

...

We sat on the couch eating in silence. I don't know why I felt so awkward. Maybe because some of Niall's friends just hit on me.

"Are you...are you going to text him?" Niall says with a low voice and looks over at me

"I'm not sure yet, I don't know him that well." I shrug.

"Oh..."

"Niall, why?"

"I don't know...I guess I was just a little...jealous." He says and looks down.

I scoot closer to him and put my hand on his arm. "Why would you be jealous?" He shrugs.

"Niall, I... I don't like Harry that way. I like you, you know that."

He looks up at me and smiles while he raises his brow. "Really?"

I roll my eyes and nod.

He grabs my chin and pulls my lips to his, moving our mouths slowly, painfully.

I have no idea what this boy is doing to me. Usually, actually most of the time, I'm the kind of person who likes to plan things out, take everything slow so I can evaluate the situation. But with Niall, he's caught me completely off guard. I came here to study and have time for myself, but then I met him. I became completely infatuated with him, and it wasn't at all a part of my summer plans.

As the speed of our lips pick up, I start to say, "Niall... I want...to..." I say in between kisses.

He breaks and looks at me, "You want to what?" He smirks.

"Well... I just thought, earlier today, you didn't really get anything out of it so..." I say quietly, embarrassed.

"Trust me, I got a lot out of it." He winks and I shove him playfully. "But if you insist, join me in the bedroom Madison."

He grabs my hand and stands up from the couch, leading me through the hallway and into the bedroom.
