Consequences of Falling in Love With a Frat Boy

We Need To Talk

Chapter 27

Niall POV

"Wait," I said running a hand over my face, "Say it again like I'm five, what do you mean someone's tailing me?" I asked looking at Louis who leaned against the desk crossing his arms.

"It means someone is watching you, trying to dig up on information about you." explained Louis.

"But who? I've stayed under the radar, no bar fights, no arrest, I've been clean."

Louis shrugged, "I don't know, but I can find out." Louis turned around to the monitor's as he begins typing away at the keyboard in front of him. A lot of screens popped up some with numbers, some with pictures, and I was pretty sure I saw some porn site but hey I couldn't complain, man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. It took Louis all of 5 minutes when he said, "Got it."

Walking up next to him I looked at the monitor and shook my head, "No."

Louis looked at me, "What do you mean 'No'?"

"It's impossible, it can't be her."

Louis typed away at the computer and said, "Nope it's her." Looking at me he said, "Do you know her?"

"Yeah," I said rubbing the back of my neck, "She's Edward's kid, and my roommate."

Louis did a double take, look at me as he looked back at the monitor, "Well damn." I let out a sigh as I grabbed another beer.

I hung back at the warehouse till it was a little past 3am, when I decided to head back to the flat. On the drive there I questioned, Why Mel was looking into me? What made her want to? It wasn't like I could just march in and say, "Why they hell are you digging up information on me?!" because that would make me seem a little psychotic, and I didn't want to scare her, but I did want to talk to her.

Walking in the flat I tossed my jacket on my bed and went to Mel's room. Her door was cracked so I lightly knocked, when she didn't answer I pushed the door opened and said, "You up?" There still was no answer so walking in I saw her laid out on top of her blanket with school books all around her. Shaking my head I let out a small laugh and walked to her bed. I closed all of the books surrounding her, stacking them neatly on her night stand. Mel was a tough person when she wanted to be, but it was moments like when she was sleep that made me remember that all of her sarcasm and quick comebacks are just a shield to help keep out all the hurt.

Sliding my hand slowly under her head I picked her up, holding her close to me as I used my other hand to pull back the comforter. Mel moved taking in a deep breath as she nuzzeled her head to my chest. I froze thinking she was going to wake up and think I was trying to put a move on her while she was sleep. So I waited a few minutes before I moved again. When she didn't move I slowly placed her down on the bed pulling the blanket over her. She wiggled a little and sighed, as she got comfortable.

I stood there watching her sleep for a while, she reminded me a little of watching a little baby sleep. It was like nothing in the world matter and she knew she was safe. That's when i remember the vow I made to myself a while back that i would do anything to protect her, no matter what the cost was. A piece of hair fell over her face, slowly pushing it behind her ear I smiled and walked out the room leaving her door slightly ajar like how I found it.

Stripping down to my boxer I placed my wallet and keys on my dresser and laid in my bed when Harry texted me,

Got another lead on the chip, want to take a week trip?

You know it I replied.

Alright I'll give you the details in the morning
