Between

Chapter 6

I arrive home. No one's home when I get there Niall must still be at work. I go ahead and get dressed for Mic's.

I take a moment while getting dressed debating on cooking dinner for Niall or seeing if he just wants to go out.

After I'm dressed and boots on I start cooking. I decide to just make something simple Niall's still gone and I want to get to Mic's early. I could really use a drink.

I just make some chili. It doesn't take long till it's done I leave it on the stove boiling to keep it warm. I go into my bedroom to put on jewelry and finish my makeup when my phone rings.

I hear the door open so I push the bedroom door to get some privacy.

Harry's POV:

I walk in behind Niall. I don't see Tessa, but I picked Niall up from work and I seen her car down stairs so I know she's here.

I head to her bedroom while Niall heads to the kitchen.

"She made chili. Want some?" He ask turning to look at me. I look at him and nod my head to the bedroom.

He looks towards me and rolls his eyes as he turns around to grab a bowl from the cabinet. I continue towards the bedroom.

I get to the door it's cracked and I can hear Tessa inside.

"I'm fine." I hear her say. She sounds more like giving in then just being fine.

I push the door open slightly. She's sitting at the end of the bed in a black dress and those combat boots.

Although this dress is not as revealing as the red one I still don't like it. I can see her curves and her breast are... . She's definitely wearing a push up bra.

"You don't have to keep asking." She says on the phone. "But I don't hate it." She says with a small laugh.

I wish I can hear the person on the phone or at least know who she's talking to. She sounds flirty but somewhat shy.

"I mean you could always come hear." She says sternly as if she's mad but she's still smiling.

"Kaleb, that's always an invitation." She says with a smirk. "You know I love you."

I feel my whole body go in shock. I back away from the door without thinking. I walk straight to Niall, Niall will have answers.

"Hey, you sure you don't want any of this it's... . What the fuck man! You look like a doctor said you were positive for a STD."

"That's not funny." I say feeling more like myself. "Who the fuck is Kaleb?"

His eyes go wide. "She a... she's on the phone?" He ask nodding towards the bedroom where I'm sure Tessa is still on the phone with HIM.

"Yeah." I reply. "And he is... ?"

"Well uh, he's... ." Before he could finish I find myself falling in the nearest chair.

"How long?" I ask.

"What?" Niall reply's ignoring me with his head in his chili bowl.

"How long has she been talking to him Niall? What the fuck do you mean what! When did she meet him?"

Niall closes his eyes and breathes out. I don't think I can breathe at all.

"It's complicated." He says sitting down and taking a bite of chili. I just stare at him.

"Well, I didn't know you didn't know." He says as if it's that simple.

"He's a friend." He finally says over a mouth full of chili.
