Twice as Nice

Chapter Five

.___.

"I won't need this." Niall said putting his warn out Nivarna shirt beside him in a small pile of clothes. They were the ones he obviously wasn't going to take with him to Ireland. The rest of everything that he was taking was packed away into his suitcase.

I kept quiet and watched as my boyfriend continued his parking, smiling away and humming old Irish tunes. He was going to have an amazing time, and who was just to stop him.

I'd still have Harry here with me wouldn't I?

And even if I didn't, I wouldn't be alone for long. Well... I hoped not anyway.

"Come on darlin," Niall stopped and smiled warmly at me, "I won't be gone. You know I'll always come back to you." His hand had reached over and cupped my face. I was appreciative of the small gesture.

"I know.But coming back means you've got to leave first." With a small sigh, he leant over and gave me a soft attentive kiss.

"Go check those cookies baby." Diverting the topic, I nodded and stood to my feet as I came back to the kitchen.

All but ready.

The sound of the front door then opened and I knew it was Harry. Who else beside Niall and myself had a key? But what I wasn't expecting to hear was loud giggles following afterwards.

Putting the tray of cookies onto the stove to cool off, I took off my gloves and looked over to see Harry walk in; large smile perched on his face.

And some silly little red head following after him.

She was skinny. Model skinny, so that led me to believe that she was naturally that way or that I would be getting more cookies. Harry would obviously offer her some even though these were Niall's going away cookies. Harry was nice like that.

"Oh! Hey (Y/N)!" Harry smiled noticing me ad he dropped his car keys on the kitchen bench and strolled over to me.

I pushed a smile to become prominent as he leant down and stole a kiss to my lips. It relaxed me a little. That he wasn't afraid to show affection in front of others; especially Miss Giggles over there.

"Harry? Who's this?" I asked, politely gesturing to the red headed girl. Her smile wavered a bit as she looked up at my boyfriend expectantly.

"This is Joanne." He smiled and looked over my shoulder. "Did you bake cookies?" My attention averted momentarily.

"For Niall, yeah."

"Harry sweetie, who's this?" My eyes narrowed at Joanne as she played pet names with my boyfriend.

"This is my girlfriend." Her face visibly dropped as I watched him reached into the fridge.

"Oh." She bit her lip and shook her head before whacking on that smile again. "Well, should we do what we came to do?" Her tone came out suggestive to me.

"And what's that?" I cut in. My flat fine obviously catching her off guard but nevertheless, sparking a smirk.

"Just a tour of the house." Harry answered.

"Why? It's not like she's going to live here." Right? Harry furrowed his eyebrows at me before offering a reassuring smile to Joanne.

"Babe," He took my hand and pulled us into the corner of the kitchen where hus whispering became evident, "she wants to move in around the area. So as a good friend, I offered her what the houses would look like if she went looking. Just to help her out."

"Help her out?" I whispered annoyed. "The only thing you're helping is that damn imagination of hers!" I was not happy to say the least.

"Wha-"
