A Hint of Spice

Chapter 8

He had taken off his shirt, his muscles rippling every time his knuckles struck the bag. His body glistened with sweat as he danced around the lifeless object. His eyes darted to me every now and then. Why was I being so nice to him? I don't even know much about him and yet I've stayed the night at his flat for like a week straight. He was a gorgeous boy. 20 I think. I was 19.. His blonde quiff was slowly flattening as he worked his body. He stopped and wiped his face with a rag before walking over to the weightlifting area. I stayed in my chair as he started to bench press. His biceps bulged as he lifted the bar over and over. I made my way to him, chair in hand. I sat back down and watched him as he worked. He paused and sat up.

"How much can you lift?" I asked.

He eyed me. "200 pounds is my max. 100 on each side."

I gaped. I was only 120 pounds. Before I knew it he had pulled me into his arms and laid back down. "No! Niall! Don't!" But it was too late. He began lifting me like he would the weights. I was being bench pressed. I grinned getting an idea. I slumped all my weight on his hands. He grunted as he lifted me again.

He did that several times before he said through clamped jaws, "Cheater."

I laughed and rolled over onto my stomach. "What's your next work out?" I asked.

He set me back down and grinned. "Push ups." He walked a little ways from the weights and started to do push ups. He stopped and looked up at me. "Come here." I grinned walking over to him. "Lay down underneath me." I did so. Every time he bent his elbows and lowered himself he kissed me. After like 50 I gripped his cheeks and wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled him closer, holding the kiss. He soon fell on top of me softly still kissing me. I felt eyes on us but just like him I ignored them. He finally pulled away. "That was amazing." He pushed his lips to mine again.

"Niall." We heard a gruff voice behind us. Niall pulled away and looked over his shoulder.

"Ya?"

"I'm gonna beat your brains in."

I suddenly realized who it was behind us.. It was Drew. Niall looked at me and winked. God he was sexy. "Oh really?" He smirked. He kissed me again before getting off of me and standing. He faced Drew. "Why do you want to try to beat my brains in?"

"You stole my girl!" Drew yelled back, spit flying from his mouth.

I stood and was softly drug to stand behind Niall. My palms lay flat against his bare back. "I didn't steal her. She came to me." I stopped. No he did steal me... But I didn't mind. "Nah I stole her." He grinned.

Drew glared, his cheeks burning red. "I want her back."

"Why? So you can beat her again! She never loved you! You hurt her more than you could ever know! Outside its just purple, inside its a disease. She might've wanted to kill herself from the pain you inflicted!" Niall spat back.

I couldn't take it anymore. I sidestepped Niall and stood between the boys. "Shut up!" I screamed. I turned to Drew. "Niall's right about one thing, you hurt me beyond compare. I could never love you like before, when you would feed me kisses ever so softly. You tore my heart out and stepped on it. Niall," I turned to face him, "you picked it up out of the dirt, brushed it off, and kissed it to make it better. You softly put it back in my chest, helping me to love again. Except," I turned to face both boys, "I didn't love you anymore Drew. I love the boy who still showers me with kisses, the one who wants all my pain to go away. I love Niall." I looked at both boys before heading towards the door. I walked upstairs and outside. I started walking towards my house several blocks down the street.

**Niall's POV** I looked at Drew, his face suddenly softened. Tears dotted his eyes but he blinked making them disappear. He glared at me. "You son of a bitch! She's mine!"

I shrugged and walked to the locker room, grabbing my shirt on the way. "Sorry mate, she's taken." I called over my shoulder. I walked into the locker room and grabbed my bag.

The sun shone brightly on me as I stood outside. Keeley wasn't in my car, nor anywhere to be seen. I took off running, my feet pushing me farther down the pavement. I ran straight for her house. I soon caught sight of her and ran up to her wrapping my arms around her. I kissed her neck softly. "Hey gorgeous."

She stopped mid groan and pushed away from me. "Don't call me that." She said. She turned and continued walking to her house. I didn't understand.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I took a step towards her and grabbed her wrist.

She jerked away from me. "Nothing."

I glared at her back. "What's wrong." I demanded.

She turned sharply and stared at me. "Fuck Niall! I love you!" She turned and continued to her house.

"I love you too." I whispered looking at my feet. She stopped for a split second but then continued. "Please don't go." I whispered.

She turned and looked at me. Her arms opened and she smiled at me. I ran into her arms and hugged her close. When we finally broke apart I grabbed hold of her hand, my fingers intertwined with her small, fragile fingers. I walked with her back to my car.

**Keeley's POV** I walked in the door of his flat in front of him. His left arm flew around my waist stopping me in my tracks. I laughed and stood there as he closed the door. His other arm soon wrapped around my waist too. He kissed my neck softly, I rolled my head sideways so he had clearance to my neck. I groaned slightly as he began sucking on my neck softly. I started to pull him towards the bedroom but he didn't move. He was gonna tease me. I'm gonna kill this boy..

**

My lips brushed against his. He made his way along my neck kissing me softly as he went. My arms were wrapped around his neck as he kissed me. I grabbed a fistful of shirt and jerked it up. His hands held my waist against his. He kissed my neck over and over. I pressed my body against his and pressed him against the door.

**Niall's POV** Damn her. I was starting to want her and she knew it. I couldn't let her win. I kissed her neck softly and began sucking lightly. She groaned as she pressed me against the door. I moaned into her neck and pulled her closer. Her hand slipped down my back and grabbed my ass. I laughed and stared into her deep blue eyes. She grinned and slipped her hand into my pants. My hand flew to her wrist and pulled her hand out and back around my neck. I slipped my hand back to her waist and locked my lips with hers.
