Faking it

part 9.

I woke up this morning with no one next to me. To be honest I was kind of sad, I mean I don’t like Niall or anything, he’s just a nice guy and I like the feeling of having someone care for me; is that wrong?

I walked into the kitchen to see Audrey making breakfast in an oversized guy’s  t-shirt…wait Audrey doesn’t cook, unless a guys over. “Who’s here?” I ask startling her. She turns around quickly with an embarrassed look on her face. Oh hell no. “you didn’t” I say, wanting it to be a question but came out more like a statement. Audrey just looks at her toes and nods slowly. “Where is he?” I ask. “shower” she replies quietly. I sighed and turned on my heel, but quickly turned back and asked “did you see Niall leave this morning?” she just shook her head and went back to her cooking.

I walked past the bathroom and heard the water stop running. I decided to knock on the door. “Audrey I sai-“ Harry started as he opened the door but stopped when he saw me; arms crossed and I could not believe he slept with my best friend, No, the fact that Audrey slept with the guy a hated more than anything in the world.

“Better be fucking nice to her” I spit as I turn and walk to my room to go back to sleep.  “I was fucking nice to her last night, don’t worry about that” he yells back at me with a cocky tone. Uh! I hate that boy! I want him out; NOW. 

I’m so mad; I didn’t get out of bed all day! Everything that happened last night keeps replaying in my mind; Case and Harry both yelling at me, calling me a bitch and a slut.  I wish Niall came earlier to protect me and defend me… what am I saying? I don’t need a guy to help me! I don’t need Niall; he is my fuck buddy, not my hero.  I don’t need a hero.

I was lying on my bed thinking of anything and everything when my phone rang. It took me a while to realize it was mine. “Hello?”  I could some loud music in the background. “Macy?” a boy with an Irish accent shouts through the phone. “Niall? Why are you calling?” I ask; I’m kind of mad that Niall left without saying goodbye this morning so I’m not in the mood to speak to him. “Are you working tonight?” he asks. Oh shit. I look at the time its 9:00 pm, I’m supposed to be at work at 9:30. “Fuck, yeah Niall I have to go or I’ll be late” I say in a panic and I hang up.

I quickly get ready in my uniform. Audrey is ready and sitting in the living room reading a magazine. “Thanks for reminding me about work” I say sarcastically. She just laughs and follows be out the door to the car.

We get to the club just in time. “Oh good, you’re here!” Kristy exclaims. I give her a weak smile as I put my smock on. “You have been requested for VIP again” my smile quickly faded. That’s why Niall asked if I was working, they boys are here. “Kristy I’m sorry but if it’s the same guys from last night then you have to give it to someone else” I say. I cannot deal with them tonight. “It’s only one from last night and a few others” she says. I gave in, because I needed the money.

I walk over to VIP and see Niall and a couple other guys I’ve never met before. “hi boys, I’m..’ I start but was interrupted by a clearly already drunken man. “Macy, you’re Macy! Niall’s fuck buddy!” he basically yells. I can feel my cheeks go bright red. But I shoot Niall a deadly look. Why would he even tell people? He’s such an idiot.

“What can I get you?” I ignore is comment. “Beer! Lots of it” another man says. “Celebrating something?” I question with a bit of flirtatiousness. “Niall here” the first drunken man pats Niall’s chest with one arm and the other slung over his shoulder. “Niall is going to ask you on a date” he slurs. Huh? I laugh. “good joke” I say while I walk away to get their beer.

After an awkward shift as Niall and his drunken friends waitress again, I just wanted to sleep.

I go out the back door where my car is parked with Audrey, when I hear the door swing open; it’s Niall.

“I’ll wait in the car” Audrey says awkwardly.

“Hi” Niall says sheepishly kicking a stone with his feet. This is odd, the Niall I know isn’t shy, and he’s very horny and wild. I’m not used to this. “Uh hi?” oh that sounded a little rude; too much attitude Mace. “He was just drunk… I’m not actually going to ask you out” he manages to squeak out still looking at his toes. i kept my distance, I can’t fall for a pop star, it’s too cliché . I let out a small laugh. “it’s fine, we’re just friends though right?”  I ask. He laughs “what ‘friends’ do you know that fuck each other every time they hang out?” he jokingly asks putting air quotes around ‘friends’. I had to laugh along, he has a good point. “Well are we fucking now?” I joke. His smile fades into a cheeky grin. “Do you want to be?” I roll my eyes. That is the Niall I know, always looking for sex.  “You got a hand, use it” I wink and walk to my car. “Whoa! Can I at least get a hug? I’m going on tour in the morning, might not see yah for a while” he pouts. I had to give in, Niall’s, a cool guy and a good party/fuck buddy. I have to admit, him leaving; I’m gonna miss that Irish ass. I hug him and say our goodbyes, and tell him to keep in touch and go back to the car.

“What no goodbye sex?” Audrey jokes once I’m in the car. I gave her a confused look. “How’d you know he’s leaving?” she points to the open car window and gives a childish smile. “You suck” I joke and we drive home.
