Taking Chances

Chapter 8

Once, we make it to my place, we both get out. Like I expected he opens my door. Of course he still has a damn child lock. I unlock my door and he just makes himself right at home. “Is it okay, if I crash here?” He asks, with a pleading puppy face. “Fine. I got to shower.” I grab my stuff and head to the showers.*** When I get out and brush my teeth I realize that I’m starving and two I forgot to bring clothes with me. I hurriedly grab my stuff and make my way make to my room. “Hey, do you mind getting me some food? I haven’t eaten all day.” I ask batting my lashes. “Damn, don’t do that. I’m hungry, so yeah I’ll be right back. Don’t miss me too much.” He winks. When I hear the door shut, I quickly throw on some undergarments, shorts and a tank top. I’m too lazy to look good. I swipe my face with makeup wipes and I get my sketch pad, and begin to draw. “Jade?” Niall says, waving his hand in front of me. “What?” “I’ve been calling your name. What are you drawing?” He asks. I hadn’t realized he came back already. I look down at my drawing. I drew Niall again. “Oh, nothing.” I say hiding my sketch pad. “Hmmpf.” Niall pouts. “What did you get me?” “I just got us a pizza. And I stopped and got some fries.” He informs me. He sits on top of my bed and I sit next to him. He opens the pizza box and dives right in. We end up eating the whole pizza and watching the Ringer. I didn’t realize that I fell asleep, because I feel Niall getting up. I open my eyes slightly and see Niall taking off his shirt. Oh my damn. He then strips off his pants. Oh my god. Damn. Damn. He’s wearing black boxers; they are fitted really tightly against his waist. He looks up and I shut my eyes tight. I don’t think he saw me staring at him. He removes my laptop and the garbage from the bed. He lifts me up and under the blankets and he crawls in next to me. I sense he wants to wrap his arms around me, but he doesn’t know if he should. I answer him, by snuggling close to him. He understands, and wrap his arms around my small body, pulling me close. He smells so freaking good. My alarm wakes me up at 7. And I’m a bit sad, when I see Niall left. I brush my teeth in the bathroom and I throw on some black and pink floral leggings, a white cropped top, and some pink converses. I put my hair in a messy bun with some strands of hair sticking out. I wrap my bun up with a beige flower bun wrap. As you can tell I’m a style/fashion addict. I apply some eyeliner and mascara to my eyes, my usual makeup. I sling my bag over my shoulders and head out. I make it to my first class on time. Thank god. Like always, Niall and his little gang show up a few minutes after the bell rings. “Will you ditch with me tomorrow?” Niall asks, as soon as he sits down next to me. “What?” I ask confused. “Ditch with me. I want to show you a place where I like to go. No one knows about but me.” “Why did you leave this morning?” I ask. “I didn’t want to wake you. You looked so peaceful sleeping.” He whispered. “You watched me sleep?” I ask. “Yeah. I mean. I just glanced.” He says, clearly embarrassed. I let out a chuckle. “So, you’ll ditch with me?” “Yeah.” “Good, it’s a date.” He smiles. *** I make it through to my last class of the day. The professor is late. Like 20 minutes late. So everyone is just doing whatever. “Jade?” I look up to see Addison standing in front of me. “Hey! I didn’t know you had this class!” I exclaim. “I didn’t know you did either!” She squeals. “How are you doing?” She asks. “Good, how about you?” “I’m good. Louis asked me on a date!” “That’s great!” I say, happy for her. “Hey do you want to grab a bit to eat. I don’t think the professor is gonna show.” “I would love to.” “Great, let’s go!” We end up walking to a small little diner off of campus. “So how do you like college?” Addison asks once we sit down. “It’s good, definitely a change.” I answer. “Yeah, but you get used to it.” “You’re a sophomore?” “Yup, so is Niall and his buddies.” She winks. I roll my eyes. “What’s up with you and him?” “I honestly don’t know. Has he had a girlfriend before?” “No. He’s not really into the whole relationship thing.” “I see.” I say, a little disappointed. We order our food in silence. Well, this is awkward. “So, tell me how Louis asked you out.” I say, breaking the ice. “Okay, so we have P.E. together. I don’t understand why we have to take a physical education course in college it’s so dumb. But anyways we were alone, and we were just talking. The usual conversation, when he asked if I was busy tonight and I said no. Then, he asked if I wanted to go out with him! I nearly passed out. So, tonight he’s taking me to the bowling alley. I can’t wait!” She let out. “I’m so happy for you!” I say. “Can you please help me get ready? I love your style so much. Please!” “Of course I would love to.” “Yay! You’re a life saver!” We exchange numbers and I text her my address. “Well thank you so much for lunch!” I say while we exit the diner. “Your so welcome babe.” She smiles. “So, come over around 6:30?” “I’ll be there.” She responds, before going our separate ways. I make it back to my room, at around 3:20. I plop down on my bed, and look at my phone. I have two missed calls from Niall. I immediately call him back. “Hey Love.” Niall answers. “Hey, you called?” “Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you. Your still ditching with me right?” “Yes, I am. You better take me some place fun.” “Trust me you will love it.” He laughs. We talk for a few hours, and we both say goodbye. As soon as I hanged up the phone, Addison barges through my door. “Well, hello to you too.” I laugh. “Did you tell Louis to pick you up here?” “Yes. Now make me beautiful.” She giggles. I tell her to sit down on my stool, in front of my vanity and pull out all my supplies. I decide to give her a smokey eye look. I put a nude lipstick on her lips and a plug in my curling iron. I comb through her hair with a hairbrush parting her hair. Once, the iron is heated up, I curl her hair, in perfect wavy ringlets. After I finished with the hair, I tease it up just a little, I braid the front bangs back and clip them both together in black bow. I throw, a black and dark blue plaid shirt, black ripped jeans, some black converses and black crop top at her. “Change. Now.” “Damn, when did you get all bossy?” She changes quickly and she steps in front of the mirror. Her mouth drops. “Oh my god. I look fucking hot.” She squeals. She squeals a lot. “You’re welcome.” I smile. Her phone buzzes. “Louis’s here!” She shouts. “Go, have fun. Text me how it goes.” I laugh. She literally sprints out my door. I laugh to myself and clean up the mess I made. Once, I finished I yawn. Damn, but it’s so early. How am I tired? I text Niall asking if he’s busy.  I get a immediate reply.
