Read Me? ➳ Niall Horan

Chapter Three

Nicole Louise

"We're home." Niall said opening his apartment's door, I thought there was somebody inside but only to find out later he was talking to me, or to himself, "Stop staring at me Nicole, come in I won't bite you."

"It's not that I was just thinking-" I shut up because I don't know where my mind actually gone, but I feel like something inside me is so familiar with this place, I guess I know now I used to come here a lot, "I don't know what I was thinking about but, I was just thinking."

"Okay?" He said but it sounded more of a question, "Okay, I shall show you, your room, the guests room, you can even lock it at nights if you feel uncomfortabl-"

"I'm not scared of you, Niall." I intruppted him chuckling, he shrugged, "You don't seem like any sort of harmful, and I'm probably sure that you wouldn't dare to hurt me or touch me against my willing, so no, I would not lock the door."

"You still trust people in the most blindest way, Nicole Louise,  do you never learn." He scoffed, I shrugged, "Whatever, I just thought I should warn you." He said, I rolled my eyes, "But don't come and regret it when I crawl to your room at nights and,"

"And?" I narrowed my eyes at him, he grinned at me, "Say it before I hurt you."

"You're still dirty minded too, wow nothing even changed, except for your hair colour." He chuckled, "Crawl into your room and, tickle you." He said attemping to pull a scary face but he failed, he can't, he's just too cute to do so, I'm just stating facts.

"Yeah right." I smirked, "Look at you, you're laughing, I unlocked a new face feauture." I mocked, he chuckled, then I stood awkwardly in front of him waiting for him to go and show me the guests room but he stood staring at me, "Niall, my room?"

"What?"

"You were supposed to show me my room now, I guess?" I shrugged, it took him a moment of realisation, "And you said I'm the dirty minded one." I mocked, poking him but softly, he rolled his eyes.

He signed for him to walk in front of him, and I did but I didn't know where to go, "The second room to your right." He said, I nodded and started walking, the back of my mind is forcing me to unleash the memories but I just cannot visualise them.

"And that's your room, Mrs. Nicole Louise, I left one of my PJ's on the bed if you feel like changing till we get your clothes from you apartment," He said, I looked at him gratefully, "But let's say I know you'd find these more comfy to wear." He chuckled, I gave him a side look, "I've known you for about, eight or nine years now,I know that much about you."

"Yeah, mainly more that I even know about myself." I chuckled, "But let's say, I'm lucky to have you around me, thanks for considering helping me out, Niall." I smiled.

He smiled back at me for what seemed like a moment but the smile soon faded, like a part of a bad memory flashed back in his mind, it took him another moment to get back to reality.

"I'll go, order us some, Pizza? And you get changed and feel free, act just as if it's your own home." He faked a little bit of a smile onto his lips, I mirrored his smile concerned, and he turned his back to me and left the room.

I was soon to change and walk out of the room and head to a room which I suppose it's the living room, but the sound of some really low sobs stops my feet from moving, he's inside there, he's crying and I'm not sure if he wants me to see him crying, and I don't know how to calm him down.

"Niall are you okay?" I questioned standing out of the door, he didn't reply, "Niall, stop crying, please, I haven't felt that bad about my situation, I'm just fine." I said entering the room and taking a seat beside him while rubbing onto his back.
