Hired For Horan

Ch 3-I Need You

After the game, my head is pounding and I cant get my mind off of Niall. This happens sometimes and I just cant help it, the Irish charm is contagious. I swept, mopped, and waxed the whole first floor in just under two hours and then I leaned against the banister in the foyer to catch my breath while I too out my phone.

"Hello?" a male voice asks, steady and strong.

"Are you busy this afternoon? I need you."

Niall's POV

I had it all planned out. I was finally going to confront Krystal about me liking her, because according to Zayn, she likes me too. I was going to pull her aside tonight after the stars came out and ask her to go out with me but no. Not after the conversation I heard. Zayn couldn't have been any more wrong.

"Are you busy this afternoon? I need you." I heard that angelic voice say as I came down the stairs. She had her back to me and hadn't noticed me yet so I went very slow and very quiet so I could hear her.

"I just need to see you." she said. There was a slight pause and I heard a deep mumble through the line that could only be male. Jealousy coursed through me and I ground my teeth together, jaw clamped shut. "Yeah, I know we weren't going to meet until Friday, but I need to see you."

There was so much intensity in her voice that I couldn't stop from running back up the stairs as fast as I could, as if the devil himself were after me. I slammed my door shut and stormed to the window, pulling at my bleached-blonde hair while I walk. I fall to my knees and curl in on myself. No use staying in the mansion, that's not going to help anything.

So that's how I ended up at the Tomlinson's, eating everything that Jay set before me. Don't judge, girls eat their emotions all the time.

"Are you going to tell me whats wrong, mate, or are we going to just sit in my mum's kitchen as I watch you eat?"

"She has a boyfriend." I mumble.

"Who has a boyfriend? Ni, youre not making any sense, mate."

"She has a boyfriend, Lou! its bad enough shes always there, but I cant even tell her I like her!" I yell, pushing away the empty plate. Jaye washes it up and I tell her not to bother fixing another. She leaves the room and we head up to Louis' bedroom.

"Who? Niall, what the bloody hell are you talking about?" he asks, eyebrows knit together, hand on his hip as it juts out slightly to the side. Sass Master, he is.

"Krystal! She had a bloody fucking boyfriend, Lou! I heard her talking to him on the phone. She said she needed him and she couldn't wait until Friday, it had to be today! Fuck! I was so close, Lou. So close!"

"Hey, you know that song we came up with? The one about just missing a chance to get the girl?" he says and I can almost see the gears in his head turning.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Sing it to her. If that doesn't get her to be yours instead of this mystery bloke, then I don't know what will. Well, I do but you don't seem like the Romeo type."

"Sing it to her? Are you fucking mad?"

"No, Im crazy. Why not?"

"Shes got a boyfriend. Im not going to wreck that for her, Lou." I insist, curling into the fetal position on his carpet.

"We need to get you to Harry. He'll know what to do." he says, picking me up as if I weigh nothing and carrying me to his car. He throws me in the passenger seat and starts the engine, heading for Harry's house.

Please let this be some kind of misunderstanding. The girl of my dreams cant really be taken, can she?
