Belle ‼️

Once I made it to work, I pushed the door to the shop open and stepped inside. No one was there yet, but Niall. Niall was there behind the counter snacking on a bag of Doritos. I greeted him with a weak smile, and I noticed how his eyes trailed across my face. I couldn't help but to blush a little, I sat my bag by my register and sat down.

"Good morning, beautiful.." He greeted with a smile, I looked down at my shoes and smiled.

"Good morning, handsome.." I couldn't believe that I just said that, but I shoved it to the back of my mind.

I glanced up, his eyes trailed up and down my body and my face. His cheeks looked a little red, was he blushing?

"So I'm handsome?" He asks, smiling as he popped a Dorito in his mouth. I laughed a little, twirling in my chair.

"So I'm beautiful?" I retorted, smiling in the process.

"Yes," he chewed the Dorito with his mouth closed, he leaned back in the chair and he picked his phone up. "You're are very beautiful.." He grinned.

I smiled at him.

"Thank you.." I blushed, staring at my feet.

I felt a little better today, I wasn't flirting with Niall - I didn't think.

I stood, and turned to grab the box of CDs to look through. I bent down and picked the box up, pain shooted through my ribs but I tried to ignore it. I turned around to see Niall still on his phone, I sat it on the counter and took in a deep breath. He stood

"You okay, Princess?" He asked me, I looked up at his taller figure.

"I'm - I'm fine.." I give him a shaky smile, and let out a shaky breath.

Worried sketched his features, he brushes the hair out of my face. His eyes studied my face, oh my god.

"What happened to your eyebrow?" He cups my cheek, his fingertips brushing the bruise that went along my jawline. I flinched and jerked away from his hold, beginning to get flustered by his touchiness.

"Nothing," I gushed, I fixed my hair again and stepped to the box.

I felt the heat off of his body, I felt his breath on my neck. His smell filled my senses, it was amazing. I don't know why I felt so vulnerable, he was so close. I could hear my own heartbeat, and I stood frozen. I felt his fingertips brush my hair back to where it fell behind my shoulder.

"Please.." I whispered desperate, "Niall stop.."

I quickly backed away from the taller male and brushed past him, I quickly strolled toward the back of the store. Desperate to get away from the boy that followed me.

"Belle.." His voice was so soft.

I almost fell into it, I pushed the door to the back open. The cold room was filled by his voice after he closed it behind him. I went to my locker, and put in the combination and once again I felt him behind me. His fingertips brushing the noticeable bruise, even though I put make up on it - it was still so damn noticeable. I felt something brimming my eyes, it had to be him - someone finally finds out and it had to be him. Some stock boy from a record shop.

"Belle," he whispered, "What happened?"

I turned my head, almost flinching as his face was so close. I smelled his breath, it smelled like Doritos but at the same time it was heavenly. His voice was gentle - it wasn't mean and rough.

"Nothing.." I shake my head, I studied his eyes for what seemed to be for ages. The texture made me me weak, how such a strong piercing blue could be so breathtaking.
