Taming The Untamed (Dark Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Chapter Three

Demi's P.O.V

While I was wiping down a table, I could hear the guys talking. I wasn't taking much notice until one of them asked Niall a question. I didn't think I'd heard what they said right, until they did it again. "So are you going to tell us who cleaned you up? Because we all know you wouldn't have been able to do that yourself." I was trying to pretend that I wasn't listening, but I moved onto the next table which was closer to theirs. I didn't think he was going to reply until I heard his voice. "How do you know I didn't clean myself up? Anyway, even if someone else did it, it doesn't matter. It wouldn't have happened if you guys hadn't have left me there."

There wasn't any venom in his words, so I knew he wasn't actually that bothered that they'd left him. We all knew that one of them would probably get left each time there was a fight, so it was still a little weird to hear him say something like that. What bothered me more was the fact that he wouldn't tell them who cleaned him. Seriously he couldn't just tell them that it was me, he just had to take all the credit for himself. I knew I should've just left him there. How ungrateful can he get?

I just carried on wiping the tables down because I didn't want him to know I was listening but I'm pretty sure I saw Niall look over too me when he spoke. The guys dropped the subject straight away and were on to talking about something else. I stopped listening when I realised it wasn't anything really that interesting. In the back of my mind, I was still a little pissed off with Niall, I mean what harm would it have done if he had said it was me that helped clean him up.

The guys had been here for quite a while today and I was getting a little confused as to why. I mean they don't usually stay this long; I'd nearly finished wiping down all the tables when Morgan walked over to me. "Hey Demi, you don't mind if we stay a little longer do you, it's just that the guys like it here, it's quiet. I mean we can go if you want us to, we don't mind." I could see that they really wanted to stay and well I didn't have anything to do tomorrow since it's my day off, so I thought why not. "No, of course, you guys can stay. I'll make you some more coffees if you like?" She just smiled and nodded her head. "That'd be great, thanks." "I'll bring them over, you still want water, or do you want a coffee this time?" "Water please" I just nodded my head and she turned around and walked back to the table.

As I was making the coffees I noticed Niall kept looking over at me. Well he would until he knew I'd seen him and then he'd look away. Seriously, what is his problem? I mean I know I was a little bit bitchy last night, but I don't like being talked to like I'm not as good as someone. After all I've been through; I've learnt how to stand my ground and how to stand up to people. Well I know my way with words but I'd suck in an actual fight.

After making the coffees and grabbing Morgan's water, I carried them all over to the table. The guys made room for me to place the tray down and they all grabbed a cup of coffee each while Morgan took her water. I grabbed the empty cups from before and placed them on the tray and then carried them round the counter to wash them up. While I was washing them I could feel someone's eyes burning into the back of my head. I wanted to turn around but I already had a pretty good idea of who it was.

I waited until I'd finished washing the cups and as soon as I had dried one, I turned around to put it away. Of course it was who I thought it was. Niall Horan. Seriously, I just want to know what he's problem is. Why does he have to keep staring? I looked over at him again, but this time he didn't look away. Before it could get awkward I smiled at him. I didn't think he'd return the smile but he did. After that, he just turned away and tried to avoid looking at me again.

After washing, drying and putting all the cups away, I went back to wiping the tables down, there were only a few left to do and then I'd only have to go back round the shop and stack the chairs on the tables.
