The Brunette

Chapter 37

Chapter 37(Bella's pov): Once I get back to my flat, I take a quick shower and I change into today's outfit. The top was a long flowy white shirt with long sleeves. I had to wear something with sleeves because the bruises Harry left on my arms yesterday where a dark black and blue. Last night they where a light purple.

Im glad Niall didn't see them, he's so overprotective. The bottom to my outfit is a dark colored mini skirt that fluffed up in just the right way. It had a thin belt that made it look cuter. I added a few accessories to complete it. While doing my makeup, I noticed that you could still see my bruises through the material of my shirt. I applied a little foundation onto them, lightening the color to the point where you could barely see it.

I was curling my hair when I got a call from Zayn. I answered automatically, putting it on speaker. Niall wouldn't know. "Good morning my angel." Zayn greets warmly. "Morning Zayn." I say, already tired of the conversation. "What's wrong my love?" He asks worriedly. "Nothing, Im just tired." I reply instantly. "Where are you?" There's a pause and I can faintly hear him say thank you to someone.

"Sorry Bell, talking to someone else. I just left the airport, where do you live?" He asks nonchalantly. I giggle a little, "Zayn, Im not telling you. You said you would find me." I remind him, smiling. He sighs, "Please?" He whines. "I know a great hotel." I give him the name of the hotel I was staying at before I came here.

We say our goodbyes just as I finish my hair. He finally hangs up as Im putting hairspray on my curls. I take my black clutch purse and head out the door. Once at Niall's place, Louis opens the door for me. "Morning bambi." He says happily, pulling me into a hug and kissing my cheek. "Bambi?" I question, returning the kiss. "You have big eyes, like a deer." He explains quickly, smiling. I giggle and go to Niall who was cooking something.

"Hey princess." He greets automatically, giving me a kiss on my cheek. I kiss him partially on his lips and he smiles a little. I watched him make bacon and eggs, holding onto him tightly.

"Can you make the toast?" He asks as I play with his dog tags. I nod and start popping bread into the toaster, singing quietly. Louis goes into the hall and Niall looks at me. I smile, not turning my head. I knew exactly what he was thinking. I take out the orange juice and then look for the cups. I see Niall lick his lips out of the corner of my eyes and I smile.

He looks up at me. "Bella, this isn't right." He says seriously. "What isn't right?" I ask innocently, playing with his dog tags. "The kissing, the touching, the" I press my lips to his lightly, not moving.

He whimpers quietly, holding me loosely from around the waist. He stops himself and turns to the stove. "What's wrong my prince?" I murmur in his ear, holding him from the side. He shivers at my words. "You have a boyfriend." He says, putting the eggs on three plates. "I didn't tell you. Harry broke up with me. It was a misunderstanding and I'll talk to him later." I explain, skimming his chest lightly with my fingertips.

I feel him relax and he slips his arm around my waist, kissing me sweetly. I weave my fingers through his silky hair and he tightens his grip on my waist. Suddenly, toaster dings and we both jump, startled. We laugh and he goes back to cooking, I continue preparing everything, singing again.

"That was so cute." Louis says, walking out from behind the corner. Niall gets pale. "Louis, we weren't doing anything." I respond quickly. "Don't worry. I'll keep your dirty little secret." He says, smirking. "You said Harry broke up with you right?" He adds quickly. I nod as Niall starts giving me kisses along my jaw carefully.

"Interesting." Louis murmurs quietly. "I'll finish breakfast, you two sit." Louis says cheerfully. Me and Niall don't argue and Niall carries me to the bar seats along the counter. He sits down so that Im on his lap and his lips travel to my neck, giving me chills.
