The Predator and The Prey

Chapter 44

"Hey Zoey wake up fat stuff." Niall whispers with his thick beautiful Irish accent. "Hmm?" I hum and then I open my eyes. "Oh hey Niall." I whisper. "Hey." He says with a smile. He helps me up to the bathroom. I do my buisness and when I step out I see Niall with Fip. "Hey I see you're with Fip." I say with a smile. I walk over to Niall and hug him. "Um what are you doing?' He asks chuckling. I pull away from him. "I'm so sorry. I just....I miss Harry and...just forget it. I'm a stupid woman" I say running a hand through my hair. "It's alright. I understand." He says and hugs me. "Niall do you feel uncomfortable around me?"  "No! Why would you ask?"  "I don't know. I just thought of the question."  "Well I'm not uncomfortable but sometimes you can be a pain in me hole." His response makes me giggle and it almost sounds like a laugh.

"What's so funny?"  "Your accent."  "What's so funny about it?"  "Me whole!" I say pulling away and I laugh. "Oh Zoey."  "Hey can you get me ice cream?" I stop laughing. "See this is what I'm talking about." Niall says and walks away laughing. Oh my god his laugh is so cute! Harry's is to. Ok I think I'm hanging too much with Niall. I sigh and walk downstairs bare foot. Niall comes walking upstairs and when he sees me he runs up to help me. "Zoey what are you doing!?" He yells. "Niall I can take care of myself." I say. "Yeah, yeah keep talking crazy woman." I laugh and he takes me upstairs. I sit at the bed and eat the ice cream.

"Oh while you were sleeping Harry called and said he wanted to take you somewhere out tonight." Niall says. "Like on a date?" I ask with a mouth full of ice cream. "Um no. I'm going to be there, Sophie's gonna be there, his mum,dad,my mum,my dad, and your dad, oh and Mikey J."  "Oh. Where are we going?"  "A restaurant."  "Another one?!"  "Yes but this ones is one of the most fanciest restaurants. It is very expensive and it is very formal. Harry took like about three months to get the money for this."  "Wait Harry's paying for all this?!"  "Yup!"  "What!"  "Hey look over there." I turn and Niall takes my ice cream. "Hey!" I yell. He takes a spoonful of ice cream and then gives it back to me.

I narrow my eyes at him and keep eating my ice cream."Come let's go downstairs." Niall says and takes me downstairs. I sit on the couch and place the empty glass on the floor. "Niall I'm going to pee." I say and walk to the bathroom. I pee and then walk back to Niall. "Do you want anything to eat? I'm making something for Harry." I tell Niall. "No thank you. I ate breakfast already. And lunch to." Niall says. "Ok. I'll just go to the kitchen."  "Want me to help you?"  "Sure."

......

"That looks good." Niall says as I pop it into the oven. "Thank you." I say. He leans onto the stove and I bite my lip holding either a laugh or a squeal. "Ow!" Niall yells. "Oh let me see." I say and he gives me his hand. It's red and I can tell it's going to get worse. "Here I'll take care of that." I say and take him over to the couch. I walk back to the kitchen and get ointment and a little bag of ice. I walk back over to Niall and sit next to him. "Let me see." I say and he holds out his hand again. I rub the ointment on him and then place the ice on him making him wince. "Sorry did I hurt you?" I ask him and we both look at each other. "No,no it's fine." He says as we stare at each other. We stare at each other and we lean in. Soon our lips touch. My mouth molds with his and he shoves his tongue inside. He returns the kiss.

Soon we hear a gasp. We pull away and see Sophie standing there with her mouth open. I open my mouth to speak but no words come out. I get up to walk to her and trip over the glass with ice cream hurting my toe. I limp to her as she storms away. "Wait Sophie!" Niall and I yell but she disappears. I turn over to Niall with an angry face and he has an apologetic look on his face. I limp back over to the couch and spread my feet. "That's just great Niall. Just great."I say looking up at him. "You were the one that kissed me!"  "Why did you return the kiss!"  No words come out from him. "I told you I'm a stupid woman and-and Niall through out these 8 to 9 months I haven't been myself!" He still doesn't speak. No eye contact either.
