Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 10

Just a few hours later, Louis stopped by my flat to ask Harry if he wanted to go shopping with him. Louis' tone was so casual and Harry agreed cheerfully as if they never shouted at each other earlier.

"You coming?" Harry asked me while grabbing a coat to put over himself.

"Nah"

"You sure?"

"Yeah" I shrugged. "I'll just finish packing and eating the food here, I don't want it to go to waste while we're on tour" plus I think it's time for Louis and Harry to talk about their issues.

Harry laughed and Louis nodded at me. "Take care of him, Lou" I said.

Louis smirked "Of course I will" and with that, the both of them left, leaving me all alone once again.

I walked around my flat, just picking up things that I might need during the tour. So far, I've packed most of my clothes, shoes, snapbacks, toiletries and a lot of snacks. If I ever run out of things, we can just stop in front of a mall or something and maybe have some security accompany me. 

I walked over to my fridge and started frying up the bacon. Nothing's worst than wasted bacon.

I was too busy inhaling the scent of the bacon and listening to it as it sizzles that I didn't notice someone entering my kitchen until I felt large hands around my hips, making me jump in surprise. 

"Liam!" I huffed. Liam just laughed and pulled away while I tried to make my heart rate go back to normal.

"Making bacon huh?" he says, looking over towards my shoulder and into the frying pan.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Danielle right now?" I asked casually so I wouldn't sound annoyed or excited.

“Aren’t you supposed to be with your so called boyfriend?” He asked.

“Well he’s going shopping or something with Louis. He’ll be back soon”

“Listen, Niall. I just want to talk to you” Liam said. I bit my bottom lip because I’m pretty sure where this conversation is headed.

“Look, If you’re gonna talk about me and har—“

“I know it’s fake” Liam cut me off.

“You don’t know anything” I said as I turned off the stove and served the bacon on a plate.

“Louis and I talked about it and we know the both of you just got together to make Louis jealous. But now Louis’ trying to take Harry back” Liam said.

He followed me even when I placed my plate of bacon on the dining table and started eating them. “He won’t succeed”

“How are you sure?” Liam asked, taking a seat across me.

“Because harry loves me” I said. This isn’t true. It’s all part of the act but I have to admit, I like the adrenaline rush from lying to Liam sends me.

“No he doesn’t. Just quit acting Niall. I know you don’t love harry and harry feels the same way. You’re both in a platonic friendship and you’re doing this just to get back at Louis. Do you know how hurt Louis was when he found out?” Liam said.

I felt guilt running through me but this isn’t only for my benefit. Harry started all this shit and if he decides he wants Louis despite Louis loving Eleanor as well, then I’m okay with it. No hard feelings and all.

“Certainly not hurt enough to avoid or ignore Harry for the rest of the day” I shrugged while stabbing the last piece of bacon with my fork.

From the corner of my eye, I can see Liam grinning. “That’s true. Apparently, I can’t avoid you either”
