Chapter 23

Niall POV

The music was blasting through my house; there were so many people here, half of them I didn’t even know. Had I even seen them before? It didn’t matter. I looked around to see Zayn with Sophia grinding with each other and Liam was with Jes… did Zayn know already? Had I missed that?

Whatever.

Louis was dancing with some blonde girl that wasn’t his girlfriend Amelia and definitely wasn’t Harry. I walked around to the bar and sat down waiting for Leighton to come down from my room she had gone up to change clothes a while ago. Actually 30 minutes ago, I stood and started walking to the staircase to go find her with someone’s hand attached to my wrist.

“Zoe?” I gasped as I looked into the eyes of my ex-girlfriend standing no more than 2 steps away from me.

“I heard you moved round here, didn’t think it was only 20 minutes from my flat. Did somebody miss me?” she leaned in closer pulling me into a hug. I inhaled her scent as I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her back. “Niall Horan in London, never thought I’d see the day”

I laughed, even though nothing was funny. She always made me nervous, we never officially broke up we just; stopped talking.

“Come on Niall let’s have a dance, I think you owe me” I didn’t protest, I went along with it.

Some song I don’t even remember the name of was playing, and we instantly started dancing with each other. Jumping around and moving our arms and head with the music and doing moves that don’t even make since with our legs. The tempo changed and so did our dancing; she moved closer to me, I didn’t back away. It was wrong, I know, but dancing wasn’t bad right?

If I have to ask I guess it is…

She put her left hand where my shoulder met my neck and the other rested on her hip as she rolled her body. Whipping her hair around and flashing her contagious smile. When we finally stopped dancing a few songs later I was out of breath so we walked back to the bar and I got us a shot of whiskey.

“You still know this is my favorite” she said excitedly

I didn’t actually, but I didn’t tell her that. She sat on the bar stool and I stood right next to her, she rotated the chair so that she was now facing me. I looked over at her and she was biting her bottom lip and moving her long brown hair to one of her shoulders. She tugged on my shirt pulling me closer to her; she slowly started to lean into me. I hovered over her as I felt her breath on my neck.

What the fuck was I doing?

Leighton POV

I was leaving Nialls room to join the party when I stopped at the top of the stairs looking at the massive amount of people dancing drinking and partying below me. I could see Niall start to make his way to the bottom of the stairs when someone called my name.

I turned to see it was Harry, of course.

“What do you want Haz?”

“You” he chuckled before reaching out and looping a finger into my waist band pulling me closer.

“Harry, no.” I said with an annoyed voice

He spun me around and pushed me against the wall leaning in closer to me. His lips brushed passed mine; they were so soft, yet rough?

“Harry. Don’t.” I wasn’t very convincing because as soon as the last word left my mouth his lips were back on mine with much more force.  I stood frozen for a minute until I leaned in and deepened the kiss he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me even closer into him, which I didn’t think was possible. I snaked my arms about his neck and then slid my hands into his hair messing with his beautiful brown curls. He gently pulled on my bottom lip with his teeth making me release a breath I didn’t even know I was holding. My head started spinning; it was full of thoughts of Harry and how he always used to kiss me like this. How it always made me feel like the first time all over again, how we were a good team, how there was passion with in both of us, for each other.

Until Niall, and with that I pushed him off. I looked up at him and he had a huge smirk on his face.

That pissed me off.

“What are you happy now I’m just like you” I said as I shoved him again

“actually” he laughed “I am, this means I can still get to you.”

“fuck off Harry” I scoffed as I made my way back to the stairs and starting making my way down

I heard Harry shout behind me “you will soon, so it’s okay” he was such an asshole.

I was half way down the stairs when I looked over to where we had a bar set up and I saw Niall talking to a pretty brunette girl. I was fine with it until I saw her pull him closer.

“Fuck that” I said to myself as I shoved my way through people and made my way to the bar. I stood behind him for a moment before she made eye contact with me, but she didn’t react she just smiled and leaned back into Niall.

She wanted to play…

But I was gonna win…
