The Brunette

Niall being friendzoned

Chapter 15(Niall's pov): My room is a mess. All my clothes are all over my bed from where I was trying to pick out what to wear. That reminded me, I had to call Louis to remind him to bring the rest of my clothes and things.

As I talk to Louis Im packing my clothes and bathroom thing into my suitcase. "So hows London?" Louis asks after everything's sorted out. "Its great me and Bella's been going around, you know apartment hunting, that reminds me.."

"What?" Louis says, interrupting me. "Who's Bella? Niall did you already go and get yourself a girlfriend?" I could feel my cheeks heat up. "She's just my friend." I say while trying to fit a shirt in my already overflowing suitcase.

"You say that but I know you lie." I could practically see his evil grin. "I need to go." I hang up on him before he says anything. I clumsily drag my suitcase out the door. Bella's already out, sitting on her suitcase and playing on her phone. She sees me and quickly puts her phone away in her back pocket. She gives me a fake smile and gets up.

"You're bad at fake smiling too." I say while putting my suitcase on the cart. Her smile disappears. It hurts me to see her frown. I walk to her and cup her chin. She looks strait into my eyes. There's so much sadness shadowing her eyes that it dims the sparkle that was once there. "Whenever you're ready, you can talk to me. Ok?" I ask, searching her mystifying eyes for understanding.

She nods and gives me a reassuring half smile. "Do you want a hug?" I ask softly. She nods again. I wrap my arms around her and let her bury herself in my chest. A minute passes by. She lifts her head to look at me. "Better?" I ask hopefully. "Yeah," she smiles, a real smile, "Thanks Niall." She gives me another quick hug before fully letting go. "Anytime." I motion towards the stacked suitcases on the cart.

"Your chariot awaits, my princess." I say, trying to lift the mood. She giggles and curtsies. I take her hand and help her up to sit on the suitcases. I push her slowly down the hall so she won't fall. She gets off when we get to the elevator so that when we get down, the manager won't see her on the cart.

With the cart and both if us on the elevator, its kind of tight. The elevator seems like its almost engulfed in her rose perfume. I don't mind. Once we exit the elevator, we return the cart and she rolls her suitcase out while I drag mine. "We can't go walking, its too far and I don't think you'll be able to." She says giggling at me trying to catch up with my meddlesome suitcase.

We stop and hail a cab. I only have about 30 dollars left. About enough for the taxi ride. I wasn't about to let her pay. That was my job. We find a cab and stuff our luggage into the trunk. I give the address to the cab driver and we speed off.

A few minutes later, we pass the fountain that we can see outside our rooms. I can see it more closely now. Its made if polished white marble and its sculpted to look like two dolphins forming a heart. I couldn't think about it further because we had arrived.

I payed the cab driver and exited with Bella behind me. "I thought you said you used all your money on the apartment." She said, confused. "Only 30 left, not enough for another night at the hotel." We walk to the elevator and go up to my place. The elevator stops and we get out. I drag my suitcase again down the hall. She laughs and walks behind me, rolling hers smoothly. We get to my apartment door. I pull out my keys and unlock the door. We step inside and set down our suitcases.

"Come on." Bella says going out the door. "But we just go here." I protest, going after her. "We're going to get food." I didn't realize how hungry I was until now. The last time I ate was breakfast. This was unbelievable. Im always hungry. Im always eating food. This was the first time I forgot about a meal. I was busy being with Bella. "Come on, Niall." She said, tugging on my arm. I locked the door and and went with her in the elevator.
