************************************

A few days later I am sitting in the lounge room when I hear a Harley pull up out the front. The only one that knows where I live is Niall.

I jump up and look out the front window to see him heading up the path. I meet him at the door

"Hey Niall. What are you doing here?"

"Just in the area, thought I would pop by and see if you wanted to go for a ride?" he asks in his Irish accent

"OK. Let me get my boots on. Come in" I offer as I leave Niall in the lounge and run down the hall to grab my boots and jacket.

"Lets go!" I say shortly after

The ride into town is long and leisurely as we head toward the beach and arrive just on dusk. We take a stroll along the waters edge and watch the sun set on the horizon as the last of the surfers catch the last waves of the day.

"Thanks for coming today." says Niall "I enjoy your company"

I nod and smile at him as he places an arm around my shoulders, leading me back towards the bike.

"Wanna come back to the house for dinner?" he asks

"Um...I'm not sure. Who is going to be there?"

"Not Harry," he says with a smirk

I feel my face flush and I look toward the water. Is it that obvious?

We arrive back at the lads' house just after dark and find that they are all home except Harry.

As we walk in the front door, I am hit with the pungent smell of smoke. Not your regular cigarette kind either. Zayn and Louis are sitting on the lounge totally out of it with what looks like a joint being shared between them.

"WTF?" Niall splutters as we enter the room

"Hey Niall, Hey Piper" they both chorus looking at us with bloodshot eyes and goofy grins on their faces.

They look at each other and burst into laughter

"We didn't know you were having company," says Louis looking at me as he gives Niall a wink

"She's not company, she's just Piper," he says defensively

Great. Now I'm JUST Piper. Can this get any worse? Niall must see the look on my face.

"Oh shit," he says, "I didn't mean it like that it's just..."

"Its fine Niall" I say a little uncomfortable

"Come on, let's order dinner. Do you like pizza?" he asks, leading me by the hand into the kitchen

I nod my head and notice Liam, Sophia and Perrie sitting around the table, taking turns with "Mudslide" shots.

Niall orders dinner and we sit at the table with the others, taking the shots in turn. I haven't eaten all day so the alcohol is going straight to my head. By the time the pizza arrives, I am very tipsy.

"Hey Piper?" yells Louis from the lounge "Do you want some of this?" as he motions his hand in my direction, offering me the joint

"No thanks"

Louis just shrugs his shoulders and takes another puff before handing it back to Zayn

After we eat, Niall and I take a walk to the backyard and sit under the large tree facing the house. I need some fresh air to clear my head.

"You ok Piper?" Niall asks with concern

"Yeah. Just to much to drink on an empty stomach" I say turning my head to look at the stars.

As I lower my head, I feel Niall's lips press against mine. He is trying to work his tongue into my mouth but I refuse to open. I push against his chest and he pulls back, away from me

"Sorry" he says sheepishly, looking at the ground

I nod my head as I look at his boyish face. If I hadn't met Harry first, I could easily fall for Niall. He has the bluest of eyes that match perfectly with his blonde hair.

"You want to go back inside?" he asks, standing in front of me with his hand outstretched.

I take his hand and we walk back into the house and as we enter the lounge room, I am taken aback with seeing Harry sitting on the couch with a girl on his lap, playing with his hair.

As our eyes meet, I see a flash of anger on Harry's face as he looks down and sees me holding hands with Niall. Niall squeezes my hand and laces our fingers together.

"Thought you were out for the night, man?" he says to Harry as we make our way further into the room, leaning against the wall.

Harry doesn't answer straight away as he continues to look at our hands, his jaw muscles working and the veins on his temples pulsing.

The girl on his lap runs her fingers down his cheek and pulls him in for a kiss. As he kisses her, he continues to look at Niall and I with contempt.

Before I know what I am doing, I pull Niall into my embrace and smash my lips to his; pressing my tongue against his lips until he gives me full access to his mouth.

Niall's arm snakes around my back and pulls me close as I lace my hands around his neck, deepening our kiss as our tongues match in pace. Exploring each other from the inside.

Our kiss is interrupted with a guttural growl and as quick as my lips smashed against Niall's, they are ripped apart and he is thrown across the room

"What the fuck Harry?" he says as he gets to his feet and rushes to my side.

Harry is standing in front of me, breathing erratically and working his jaw like anything. He is that close I can smell his minty breath on my face and feel the anger radiating from him

"Get the fuck away Niall" he says quietly, without moving his eyes from mine.

The girl of the moment moves behind Harry and places her hand on his shoulder "Harry?" she whines

"Fuck off Holly!" he says through gritted teeth, as she backs away

Harry continues to stare into my eyes, his breathing still heavy. I hear Liam rush into the room.

"Hey, what's goin' on in here?" he asks

"NOTHING!" Harry yells as he punches the wall next to me and stalks out the front door

Niall moves closer to me, taking me in his arms and its then that I realize the tears on my cheeks. I look around the room and I see Liam looking confused and Louis and Zayn sitting on the lounge in fits of laughter.

"Thanks for your help you stoners" I hear Niall say to them

"Your welcome" says Zayn while Louis chips in "He warned you Niall" as they both break into laughter again.

"Come on Piper, I will take you home. Can I borrow your car Liam?" he asks

"Sure" says Liam throwing his keys in Nialls direction.

Niall leads me out to Liam's car and we head towards Seth's place. I can see that Niall is deep in thought.

"I'm sorry I kissed you," I say sheepishly

"What? Why are you sorry?"

"I got you in trouble with Harry"

"Fuck Harry" he says angrily "He thinks he is all that but he cant tell me who or not I can see. He likes to keep girls on a string but you are to good for that shit. I like you Piper and I don't care what Harry fucking Styles says or does"

I nod my head and continue to look at Niall as he drives down Seth's street. He really is very cute and I could see myself falling for his boyish charms.

Over the next few days I continue to look for a job. I need money and I don't want to take Seth up on his suggestion. The poker run is tomorrow and I find that I am really excited to be going.
