Chapter 7

Niall POV

I parked down the street from the party and sat in my car putting on my mask. I was nervous, this reminded me of the party I went to the Leighton invited me to.

I walked up to the door and was greeted by a bouncer asking for my invite.

When I walked in the party I was taken aback by the insane amount of people. No one’s face was showing except for Elle’s, I saw her walking around eyeing everyone. Then she stopped in front of me, she put on her mask as she walked forward.

“Hi, Blondie!” She said as she pulled me by my shirt “I love this song come dance with me love”

She pulled me onto the center of the dance floor and started dancing to “watch and Learn” by Rihanna. This was a good song to dance with her to. She turned around with her bum facing me and grabbed my arms wrapping them around her body.

She seductively swayed her hips side to side, and then when the chorus started she began popping her bum into me rubbing against me. She knew what she was doing, and I didn’t mind.

Then “Work” by Iggy Azalea started to play, the song started of slow, and that was the pace at which she grinded against me. The song started to slowly build up and so did her movements before we both lost control dancing.

She turned to face me and started kissing my neck, she was rough… I liked it. Her hands glided down my back and rested them on my waist with her fingers in the belt loops. We stopped kissing and she whispered in my ear,

“I’ve gotta go love, we’ll continue this at the next party. Same rules meet me here” She kissed my cheek and disappeared.

“What the fuck” I said as I watched her run up the stairs

I wandered around the party before I found the bar; I started taking shots of whiskey. I looked to my right and I saw a girl standing by one of the strobe lights.

 He clothing was interesting, she wore white converse and a pair of short black shorts exposing a tattoo of a sparrow on her right thigh. She also wore a black hoodie with the hood up, it was skin tight, and it had a deep V down the front and a deeper V in the back.

She had tan skin and pale lips with just a hint of pink to them. She caught me staring and flashed me a cheeky smile. I wish I could’ve seen all of her face, I’m sure she was beautiful.

I took another shot and walked towards her through the crowd, but by the time I got there she was gone. “Damn” I said as I looked around for her. Nothing.

Zayn POV

We were at Harry’s flat having a massive party to celebrate having Liam be part of us again. Everyone was there except Leighton and Niall.

“Harry where’s Leighton?” Liam asked

“I’ll tell you where they are!” I spat “They’re probably together! I bet there wasn’t a party, I’ve seen how he looks at her” I could feel myself becoming pissed

“Theres something off about him, I don’t think we can fully trust him yet!”

Sophia (my gf) wrapped her arms around me and kissed me “Calm down love, Leighton said she’d be running late. She had something to handle”

“And Niall really is at the party!” Harry said

“How do you know?” I asked

He raised his eyebrow “Elle told me, I knew she was inviting him and I told her to text me when he got there”

“haha so you made Elle invite him?” I laughed

“No, we have Lit together, I turned down her invite and she asked if she could invite Niall” he paused “So I told her yeah”

“Still doesn’t explain where Leighton is” I said

“I’m right her Zayn” Leighton said as she walked through the door

“Where were you?” I asked

“I had something I needed to take care of, didn’t Sophia tell you?” She said glaring at Sophia

Her hands dropped from my waist as she turned to face Leighton, “I did tell him Leighton”

“Calm down Sophia” Leighton said as she walked up to Harry applying her red lipstick and releasing her hair from her bun letting it flow down her back.

The party went on never missing a beat. Everyone was drinking dancing and chatting when a group of 5 boys walked through Harry’s front door. Harry turned to look but he couldn’t make out who it was so he walked toward them, Louis following close behind.

Harry POV

I walked to my front door and that’s when I realized who they were, I called for Liam and Zayn to come join me. They stood in front of us like they were invited “Can I fucking help you Max?” I spat at him

The party behind me froze and people started leaving through the front and back doors.

“We wanted to meet your new friend, but… I don’t see him. Guess he realized how pathetic the lot of you are!”

“Do you really want us to beat your asses again?” Louis shouted

“That won’t happen, it’d be a fair fight this time. Not you against tiny Nathan. If you want to fight I’m sure Tom will take a swing at it” Jay spoke

This pissed off Louis “I’ll fight him right now!” Then he laughed “But every time I try, he retreats like a girl, and acts all scared as though he did nothing wrong”

Tom looked embarrassed “We WILL be back, make sure that blonde prick is with you. Next time we won’t be so nice”

They turned to walk out the door but Nathan stopped and looked passed us at Leighton “Oi! Leighton, it’s good seeing you again. Not use to seeing you fully dressed yet”

I lunged for him slamming him against the wall “If I have to tell you again NOT to talk to Leighton, I will kick your ass! Don’t try it again Nathan!”

“Maybe Leighton shouldn’t be such a lush!” Nathan laughed

I yanked him by the neck of his shirt to the door and waiting until Max turned to see.  “You shouldn’t have said that Nathan!” I said

“Yeah an-“ I punched him in his jaw making him lay out flat on my front porch

“That’s why you prick!” I shouted as I slammed the door shut

“You’ll regret that Styles!” Max yelled through the door

Nathan needed to learn his place, after that everyone left and Leighton stayed with me. We were sitting in silence, when Leighton spoke “I never should’ve done it…”

She was sitting on my lap so I placed my hand on her thigh “It’s not that big of a deal, it was a rough summer for everyone”

“Yeah but now Nathan has an upper hand on me” She said as she looked down sadly

“Not for long babe” I promised

“You really aren’t pissed about what happened with Nathan Harry?”

“That was before you and I started dating, its fine Leighton it was over a year ago” I said calmly

“I don’t know how long I can hide it from Liam, he still looks confused when ever Leighton says something. I don’t think hes figured it out yet.”

I paused looking at her thinking ‘you and I are in bed together do you really want to talk about Liam’. I shifted letting her know I didn’t really care.

“I feel like it irritates you still love” she said as she laid next to me in bed

“It does, it always will, but I don’t dwell on it. I’ll never let it get the best of me” she leaned over to me and kissed my neck.

“Trying to leave a love bite Leighton?” I said as I slowly got on top of her…
