Will you Stay?

Chapter 28

// Niall’s Prov \\

I watched as my three idiot friend’s walk in the café. What the F*** are they doing here?! Don’t they know any other bloody place?!

I looked over to Anna, to see the same look on her face and I know she is thinking the same thing.  I wanted to grab her hand and get out of here as quickly as possible for the following reasons.

1)      I don’t want any mushy dating shit from Louis

2)      I don’t want a glare from Luke.

3)      And I certainly don’t want their pathetic eyes raping her. They shouldn’t even deserve to talk to her and I don’t want them to.

I’ll admit I was the jealous type because shes mine and if I can’t have her I might as well win this bet to get my feelings over with. Honestly there really starting to scare me now. I thought I would be thinking of ways to get her to fall for me quickly. But I wasn’t I was thinking of what makes her smile, laugh, a cute angry, what she thought was likeable, what she would wear, wondering about her past. I had all sorts of things going up in there and it was driving me crazy.

Just as I hoped they walked down the skinny isle quickly to the back kitchen. This was my cue; I got up gently grabbing Anna’s hand pulling her out of her seat towards the exit “Ni”

“Niall?” I recognise as Matts humour voice. I turn around slowly facing the three lads, still holding her hand. I could see Luke’s eyes swiping over her body quickly. I pulled Anna into me as I wrapped my arm around her waist protectively, making eye contact with Luke “Sup lads?” I say casually as if I just wasn’t just escaping for my life.

I could feel Anna stiffen so I brushed my thumb over her covered skin, relaxing her. I love how she responses to my touches.

“We were driving near, so I thought I pay Aunt Mary the money I forgot last week” Louis explained, looking confused between Anna and I. He knew about the bet, maybe he was wondering why I would take her out because I don’t do that. Or maybe he was too drunk to remember. I’m hoping the second one.

I nodded and was about to excuse the both of us before I was rudely interrupted by a worthless pig. “How are you Anna?” Luke asked (NO I DO NOT THINK LUKE HEMMINGS IN A WORTHLESS PIG!!!) eyeing her.

She nodded “Fine thanks, you got a tattoo?” she asked beaming. Why is it she felt so god damn comfortable in front of him?

Luke looked down at his bandages wrist “Yeah, just today” he answered. “I wanna get one there, but my grandparents would kill me if I got one. What did you get?” she asked.

“Oh just the head of an Indian guy” he explained casually, ripping off a bit of the plastic and flexing his bicep to show her. My hands tighten as I watch her inspect it.

“Did it hurt, like because of all the detail?” she asked, still gazing her fingers around the Tattoo, her eyes still glued to it.

“Nahh, I aint a pussy like Niall here, he won’t ever get one” Luke smirked. I was about to protest before Louis spoke “Oh yeah! We went to the tattoo parlour and everything and he chickened out, it was so funny”

Anna bit her lips at the taught and stepped back from Luke.

“Okay!” I say loudly cutting off some of the laughter “Great to see you losers, but we must be going”. I grab Anna’s hand and pull her with me ‘Almost out the door’

“Hand Holding? How long have you too been dating?” Matt said deciding to put his ugly foot into it. I was about to answer before Anna did.

“Were not dating, just friends, hanging out” she smiled normally. My heart sank but my facial features stayed hard. Just Friends? Hanging out? Just hanging out! Did she forget the kissing and the cuddling and the sleeping in the same bed and jokes and so on? How could she just say that’s all hanging out?
