Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 3

"What do you like to eat?" I ask Niall walking through the store.

He doesn't answer. He just starts grabbing things off the shelves and putting it in the cart. I watch him curiously as we walk down the aisle. He stops and looks at me.

"Done?" I smile. Why am I smiling?

"Yep." He smiles back.

"Okay fatty, let's go." I laugh. He puts his hand on his heart as if he was hurt by my words.

"I am not fat." I roll my eyes and push past him.

"Okay, drama." I laugh again. Gosh I am funny today!

I go to pull out my credit card when Niall gives money to the cashier. I look at him angrily, then jokingly annoyed.

"I refuse to let a girl pay for anything when we go out." He explains. I sigh and roll my eyes. I just realized I should've made him pay anyways since most of this shit is his.

"What movie?" I ask looking through them.

"Ooooo this one!" He points at the one that says 'The Vow'. I shake my head.

"Okay so 'The possession' it is." I press the pay button and slide my card in before Niall can put his in, if he even has one.

"You like scary movies?" He asks.

"Yep." I say, my face neutral.

"Hmm, so I take it you want to cuddle?" He suggests bluntly.

"In your dreams, lover boy." I hear him chuckle and get in the car. He gets in the passenger seat after putting the bags of food in the back. I pull out and go home.

Once were there I don't even bother to help him, I just walk right to the door and wait inside the kitchen for him. When he gets in here, I pull out the popcorn box and put some in the microwave. He puts away the ice cream and milk, then takes two bags of chips and walks to the living room. I follow him out after the pop corn is done and put in the movie. Bree comes down stairs looking like a goddess as always when she goes out.

"You kids behave." She jokes and grabs her purse.

"Of course, mommy." She looks at me and we both laugh. Niall is basically drooling at her appearance, but quickly shakes it off and waves good bye. Typical guy.

"Use protection." Is the last thing we hear before the movie starts. I'm not scared of scary movies, but I sense that Niall is, so I lean into him and he snakes his arm around me.

"Thought we weren't cuddling?" He jokes in my ear.

"I can move?" I offer. I'm kind of being serious, cause this weird for me.

"No, no. It's okay." He quickly replies.

During the movie, Niall jumps a few times and I cover my eyes at one of the parts, but I kind of just fake it to make him believe I'm actually scared. It finally ends and Niall stretches as if he's cool.

"Okay babe, you don't have to be scared any more." He smirks.

"Never again Mr. Jump a lot." I laugh.

"How about we go get something to eat? Unless your scared of the dark." He jokes because it's now night time.

"I don't know, I have macho man to protect me now." I play along, but laugh because if only he knew! If only anyone knew!

"Alright. Let's go!" He gets up and grabs my keys. "I'm driving."

I nod and follow him out, we pull up to a casual type restaurant. I'm surprised he knows of this place. I'm surprised he know of any place only because he's not from here. I can tell by his Irish accent. He gets out and jogs to open my door, but I'm already out and walking by the time he gets over. He smirks and shakes his head. We walk inside and get seated soon after.
