Lucy POV
Niall and I have hung out pretty much every day since we started dating. We were hanging out as more of best friends than boyfriend/girlfriends. I still loved being with him every second but, I wanted to be more like Zayn and Sadie. Not that intense, but he could at least kiss me. I was sitting on my older brother, Chase’s bed when I got a text from Niall:
“Hey babe;) wanna come over for a swim?”
I sent him a quick yes and jumped off the bed. “Are you going to Niall’s again?” Chase called after me.
“Um, yeah. Why?” I asked.
“Just wondering, you guys hang out a lot. It’s obvious you guys aren’t doing it…”
“Chase!” I blushed deeply and ran to my room. I grabbed my favorite bikini and left withOUT saying bye to Chase. I was at Niall’s in less than five minutes and he met me by the car. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands around my waist.
“And how’s life?” he asked tilting his head to the side.
“Oh, you mean since I left you ten hours ago?” I said smiling. He winked at me and grabbed my hand. We got to the back yard and I pulled off my cover up and dove through an inner tube, like a champ. He applauded me as I surfaced and cannon-balled right next to me splashing me. “Niall!” I squealed. He grabbed my legs and pulled me under. I opened my eyes and he made a face at me. I stuck my tongue out at him and we floated back up.
We sat in inner tubes and floated around he grabbed my hand so we didn’t float apart. “I woke up on the floor this morning.” I said casually, my face to the sun. He laughed really hard, I don’t know why. “What?” I asked looking at him.
“You said that so funny, like it was nothing. Did you fall off in the middle of the night or something?” he asked laughing.
“Uh, I guess? I just woke up cause my face was on the air vent and my mouth was very dry.” He laughed even harder. His laugh was adorable, and contagious, I started laughing too. He winked at me and kissed my hand. My phone started ringing from my purse. Greaaat. I ran out of the pool and quickly dried my hands on a towel.
“Hello?”
“Hey Luce it’s me” Sadie.
“Oh hey Sade”
“Watcha doin?”
“At Nialls, chillin in the pool”
“Oh, ok nevermind have fun!”
“What is it?”
“I was wonderin if you wanted to hang out today, but it’s cool we can chill later.”
“No it’s ok! Come on over, Niall won’t mind!” I winked at him and he grinned back.
“Okay! I’ll be over soon. I have to talk to both of you” I hung up and got back in the pool. We sat talking for fifteen minutes when Sadie came through the back. She jumped in and swam up through an inner tube.
“So, I just got here from lunch with Cadence and-“
“Wait, Kayleigh’s brother?”
“Yeah, so we were at lunch and said he could fix the ticking noise in my car when it starts”
“Oh that’s awesome!” I said. Niall looked uneasy “You okay?” I asked him.
“Yeah” he said shaking his head. “I haven’t had any water today”
We went inside and I Niall got some water. I put a hand in his back, he looked green.
“I gotta go, but I’ll see you guys later, ok?” Sadie said.
I said goodbye and Niall put his head down. “Okay, for real, what?” I asked once the front door closed.
“I don’t feel good at all.” I took his hand and we went upstairs. I changed in the bathroom and met him on his bed; he was in sweatpants and a t shirt. “I really hate conflict.” He mumbled. I walked over to him and sat down next to him, I laid my head on his shoulder. “Sadie and Cadence have always sort of liked each other. They were never in sync though. He liked her and she didn’t like him, then she liked him and he didn’t like her. I think they’re on the same page now. It makes me sick to my stomach.”
“You think she would leave Zayn?” I asked shocked.
“I don’t know, hopefully it’s a quick phase that blows over without causing any trouble…” he put his head on mine and put a hand on the inside of my knee. He was starting to worry me. He knew Sadie better than anyone and he obviously saw that she liked him. I picked my head up and crawled up to his bed and snuggled under the covers. He came up behind me. I felt nervous, but having Niall with me made feel better.
