Chapter 22

Harry POV

I tried hard not to let a smirk creep onto my face as I heard Liam tell Niall not to worry. But he should be worried, even if Leighton is mad at me she can never resist me. I walked to the passenger side of my SUV and let her in, we drove about 30 minutes outside of town before we reached a bar called, The Basement.

I parked my car around back and Leighton hopped out to go knock on the door. I walked around and leaned against my car watching her. She looked good; she had on black skinny jeans, and a tight white t-shirt, and also white converse (she picked up the habbit from me) her outfit was pretty similar to me except I was wearing my Ramones shirt.

 A few moments later Scooter came to the door

“what is it now Leighton?” he asked

“time to pay up Scoot” she poked his shoulder at the word pay

“I’ve supplied your last 10 parties Leighton 10! No FUCKING more” he said just below a yell

And with that I pushed myself off my SUV and walked right up to him.

“are we gonna have ta have a talk scooter?” I said with a mischievous grin on my face

“its been over 8,000 quid of liquor I’ve given you, I’m sure I’ve paid my dues”

“if that were true we wouldn’t be here” Leighton said moving closer to me

This was like old times; we were a team, somewhere along the line I lost sight of that. Or maybe my true self started to show, whatever, we were good at this.

“Did you forget what you did?” I asked

“n-no, but I cant afford to keep giving you all this”

“not our problem, you fucked with one of us, we fuck you over.” Leighton said pulling her long ombre hair into a bun atop her head.

“I didn’t do anything to Sophia! She’s fucking lying”

“but you just said you didn’t forget what you did…” I said taking a step closer to him

“no I didn’t.”

“You calling Harry a Liar? Is that what I heard?” Leighton said with a huge grin on her face making her deep blue eyes glow

“I-“

I shoved passed Leighton and stood in front of him “you kissed Sophia while she came crying to you about she and Zayn having a fight. You took advantage and fucked her. You will give us what we want until we are fucking satisfied. You try not giving us what we want and I’ll make sure Zayn finds out.” I paused looking down at him as his eyes started to pop out of his head. “I can call Zayn now if you want, he’s round Leighton’s flat” I took out my phone and started to dial Zayn’s number.

“Hey mate vas happenin?” Zayn laughed through the phone

Before I could say anything back Scooter took it from me and hung up.

“that’s what I thought” Leighton said

“Just take what you want and fucking leave” he said as he walked back into his bar

“Someone’s in a bad mood” Leighton laughed

I pushed him aside and Leighton started handing me crates full of liquor to put into the boot of my SUV, I watched a few times as scooter checked out her bum. After we filled it up I walked back in to find scooter, when I did, I shoved him against the bar “Look at her like that again and next time I come back your right eye will be swollen shut as well”

“what-“ before he finished I punched him in his left eye making him fall back onto the bar.

“That’s what I meant, see you next week” I turned on my heel and walked back out to the SUV to meet Leighton.

As I sat in the driver’s seat she looked at me like she did the first day we got together…

I was just getting started.

I was gonna make Leighton beg for me.

Zayn POV

“Niall let’s go!” I yelled walking back to Leighton’s room. Niall and I had some appointments to look at flats and I hate to be late. I grabbed him by the hood of his hoodie and dragged him out of the door.

“I have to go now mum; we’re going to look now. I know. I’ve got to grow up eventually. Bye mum see you tomorrow” Niall said on the phone

“You ready mate?” I asked as he slid into the passenger seat

“no”

“It’ll be fine, trust, I’ve been in my flat for a year and it’s been perfect.”

“Well you have a sister with you, it’ll just be me” he replied

“Harry and Liam live alone and they do just fine, and well they’re never really ‘alone’” I said with a grin on my face. Harry always had Leighton over and now I guess Louis will? And Liam always had some hottie over there with him, and now the Niall was with Leighton I’m sure he wouldn’t be alone either.

He just shrugged.

As soon as he walks into a flat and starts realizing that it can all be his he’ll liven up. We parked in front of the first flat and met the realtor. We walked in and started to explore, 3 bedrooms 2 baths, a media room and a massive living room and kitchen. I leaned over to Niall and whispered “it’ll be great for parties mate”

“yeah but” he paused “its kinda small”

I knew he’d say that. Niall lived in a 6 bedroom house with a guest house the size of this place. He wanted more.

I took Niall to 3 flats before I realized he wanted a house and I knew just where to take him. We went down the dirt road you’d take to get to Liam’s massive house but instead of a left we took a right, as we passed house after house Nialls eyes got wider and his smile bigger. When I finally stopped the car he jumped out before I could even put the car in park.

“this is a 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 1 study, 1 media room, 1 dining room house with a massive living room and kitchen area, Zayn said those were important to you” the realtor said

Niall nodded in aggreance. We walked through the door and Niall took off running, down stairs, upstairs in every room, twice. I stood by the front door and waited until he appeared in front of me again.

“well?” I asked with a smirk on my face

“How much is it?” he asked

The realtor looked at her paper work and cleared her throat before saying “To rent its 2,000 quid a month” Niall giggled “to buy its 1.6 million quid, umm, it would be spread over 10, 15, 20, or 30 years’ worth of payments. Whatever would be better for you?”  She finished

I bit the inside of my mouth, I wasn’t sure how much money Niall or his family had. I should’ve asked first this is probably too much; I’ve got to stop assuming everyone has as much money as the rest of us.

Niall looked around for a moment, then took out his phone and walked away. He was talking low and I couldn’t really hear what was said except “So how much do I have now, I don’t care about how much I get when I turn 21.” Then he walked to another room and started whispering again, about 10 minutes later he walked out fiddling with his fingers.

“umm” he started making me nervous “I’m FUCKING BUYING THIS GODDAMN HOUSE!” he shouted jumping around.

I pulled him to the side “Niall you don’t have to get this one, it is a lot of money If-“ he cut me off

“I got it Zayn”

He walked back over to the realtor “So, you take cash payments?” he looked back at me and smirked
