Chapter 7 

Rolling over in my bed I stared out the window as a small strip of sunlight shines in. Rising up I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth, passing by Niall’s room I stopped when I noticed his door was cracked open. I stepped forward slightly pushing the door open to see that he wasn’t there. He’s bed was still made, and everything was clean. I turned for the kitchen, closing the door behind me as I went to make a cup of coffee.

Do to what happen at the Welcome Back Party my teachers gave me a week off from attended their class with the exception that I had to do my notes and work online so I wouldn’t fall behind. Max stopped by every day when he was on his way to meet up with the other frat boys to talk fraternity business and events. Glancing at the clock as it read 3pm I groaned and laid my head on the table. “I need to get out of the house!” I yelled as I sat back on the couch, picking up my phone. Scrolling down my contact list I flew by each name playing process of elimination.

Max has tutoring with Ashley till 6. More like endless face sucking till 6. Jess had dance rehearsal, James was at some basketball game, Nicole, yeah I don’t like Nicole enough to hang with her today. Harry, I’m not sure what he is doing, and Niall, I stopped.

Niall hasn’t been back to the condo since the night of the party. I remembered he was there that morning I had noticed my swollen face, but when I woke that morning he was gone, and every day following I would hear him come in at like 2am then leave by like 7am sometime 8am. I didn’t know if he was upset with me or was just that busy. Shaking my head I scrolled back up to Harry’s name and sent him a message,

What’s up you cheeky bastard!

What’s up you geeky book worm :P  replied Harry.

You busy?

At the tattoo parlor.

Again?! I swear you live down there.

Maybe I do ;D wanna come down and keep me company?

Sure, are you at the one on 5th, and Opal Ave?  

Yep!

Carmel frap from Starbucks?

Melly you know the way to my heart <3

This I know! Be there in 15.

Okay. xx

I got up and threw on a pair of grey joggers and a white long sleeve and grabbed my purse. Hopping in my car, I smiled breathing in my sweet outdoors, girly, car freshener as I smiled, “God I missed my baby.”

After grabbing ‘In n Out’ and Starbucks I went to the tattoo parlor where I saw Harry sitting on a tattoo chair looking at some award show rerun, “I swear one day I’m going to get an award, and become famous.”

I smiled sitting on the couch in front of him, “And what are you exactly going to get an award for? Shagging the most girls at our UNI?” Harry laughed as I continued, “Because if that’s the award you want, you can run for it during your APG Male competition week.”

Harry smiled nodding his head still looking at the TV, “Your right, but I think Niall would beat me in that category.” He smiled looking at me as he pointed to the food bag and said, “Double, double with cheese fries?”

I smiled handing him his Starbucks, and bag, “But of course.”

He smiled as he took the burger out and unwrapped it, “Great because I’m starving!”

I looked around to see we were the only people in the shop, “Where’s Al?”  I asked eating some of my fries.

“Family emergency said he’ll be back in 20.” I nodded and looked at the TV.

We watched the last 15 minutes of the show as we debated on who should win the category for Artist of the year. Once it went off I looked at Harry and said, “Haz, can I ask you a question?”

Harry nodded his head drinking his Starbucks, “Yeah shoot.”

“Have you heard from Niall?”

Throwing his bag in the trash he nodded, “Yeah why?”

I shrugged, “I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since the welcome back party.”

“He’s been throwing himself in the frat business more, helping with planning and organizing upcoming events.”

I looked at Harry, “I thought he hated being evolved with setting up and planning. If I’m correct he said,” I clear my throat trying to mimic Niall’s accent, “I’d rather get my balls chopped off then plans some frat event. All I’m supposed to do is show up, drink, flash a smile, shake my arse, and pick out what hottie I’m shagging that night.”

Harry laughs and says, “That was really good! For a second I though he was actually here.” I smiled laughing as Harry tossed his hair. I never liked Harry, passed a brother like, but I’d be lying if I said when he tossed his hair, smiled showing that adorable lickable dimple, with those great green orbs for eyes, I’d too would swoon and scream in a heartbeat to get his attention.

Harry shrugged and said, “He has had a lot on his mind so I’m guessing helping the frat out is giving him time to think.” What was there to think about? I thought as the door opened and Al walks in, “Sorry about that Harry, things went longer than expected. Hey Melissa.”

I smiled, “Hey Al.”

Al looked back at Harry and said, “So we going big or small today?”

“As they say in America, go big or go home.” said Harry as he stood stripping off his shirt laying back on the chair.

“Alright that’s my cue to leave.” I said standing up as I grabbed my bag, “See you two later. And Harry, please don’t get anything to absurd.”

Harry smiled, “Oh I will.” I laughed saying my good byes as I went home.

Stopping by the store I picked up some ice cream, chips, and cookies. If I was going to be at home for the night might a well make the best of it. Pulling into the driveway I grabbed my bags, just as I saw a tall blonde walking out the door. Watching her walk down the side walk I walked to the door and stopped when I saw Niall sitting in a pair of boxer, feet kicked up on the table as he scuff down a hand full of popcorn, while watching what looked like SKYFALL and just like that I hated the fact that I still lived in a house with him.
