Bare

Chapter Five

Niall's POV

"So, ready for our date?" I call to Leah, waiting outside her bedroom door. She comes out, her hair pulled to one side. Perfect curls, and she is wearing the dress Louis got her for her birthday. "Okay, where are we going?" She asks, smiling. "Well, I know we told you it was next week, but, I am taking you as my date to the This is Us movie premier! Sound good?" I ask. She squeals, but then looks confused. "What about the other guys?" She asks. I clap my hands twice, and out come the four other lads in tuxedos. Harry is holding Beanie. "Harry...Why are you holding the dog?" Leah laughs. "Beanie is my Date." Harry says, dead serious. We all just shrug, and walk out the door. Little did we know Harry was actually bringing the dog.

Leah gasps when she sees the white limo out front. Dani, Perrie and El are waiting in there for her. She sits beside Dani, and I sit beside her. The boys sit in front of us. I try to talk to Leah during the limo ride, but she laughs with the girls and just plays with Beanie. Is she ever going to pay attention to me, or Is she going to get back together with Harry?

Leah's POV

Niall is so sweet arranging all of this for me. He didn't have to. I still want to get back together with Harry, but our past is over and Niall should be the one for me. I just can't help but feel wrong about it.

When we finally get to the premier, I realize it's the first time I will ever walk the red carpet, and hopefully the last. These camera flashes are too bright. Niall holds the door open for me, and I step out grabbing his arm. "Niall, is this your girlfriend? Wasn't she dating Harry?" A  man asks, putting a microphone to his mouth. Niall just looks at me. "I did date Harry. Niall and I are in the transition zone." I explain. The fans are all screaming, blocked off by a barrier. We walk past them all when a fan taps me on the shoulder. I grab Niall's hand and he stops. "Did you and Niall kiss yet?" She yells over the noise. Niall just looks at me, and pulls me into a kiss, and the fan snaps a picture. I just smile at her, and we continue to walk down the carpet.

Harry's POV

The fans go nuts over Beanie. I explain why I have him and who he belongs to, but all I get is Aw's. I'm not sure if they are for me or the dog. Leah looks amazing.  I wish I got to call her my date and Niall could bring a pizza as his date, but it's my fault. Leah is leaning onto me, I can see it. I still love her and she loves me back. We are going to have a future. I know it.

"Thank You for the wonderful date Niall," Leah blushes as we walk into her condo. "You, are, most, welcome." He says. I want to throw up. She's mine. Can't he just accept that?

Niall's POV

Tonight was a blast. Now all I have to do is make it official, and then she is mine. No more Harry for her. She had just changed out of her dress and now is in a hoodie and shorts on the couch watching Titanic with Harry and Beanie. I walk over to her and plop down beside her. "Hey," She says, pecking my cheek. Harry sticks out his bottom lip and pouts, "Where is my kiss?" Leah just laughs. "Must have left it on the tour bus." She jokes. "So Leah," I begin. "So Niall," She says, mocking my tone. "Okay so tonight went really well and I was wondering if you wanted to make it official? Like get out of the transitional zone?" I propose, Kindve nervous. She just smiles. "Sure," She agrees, putting Beanie on Harry's lap, and cuddling up to me. I love the look on Harry's face. Pure jealously. That'll teach him not to mess with my girl.

Harry's POV

I can't believe he did that. The way she kissed me last night was incredible, but I guess she just likes Niall. I screwed up. My problem. Not hers.

I need to get her attention off Niall for a second... Hm. I know.

I take my Beanie off my head and throw it across the room, the dog grabbing it and running up the stairs. It immediately makes Leah laugh and she runs upstairs to get it. I follow. As Leah runs, she trips over a basket of laundry and falls onto the floor. "Are you alright Leah?" I ask, concerned. She just keeps on laughing, until the dog comes over and sits on her stomach. "Wait, where's the hat?" She says, picking up Beanie. "Oh no." I say, walking down the hallway where I saw Beanie come from.

And there is my Beanie, sitting in the toilet bowl. Leah gasps. "Harry, I'm sorry!" She says, hugging me from behind. "It's alright. The dog can keep it. I have lots more," I chuckle, kissing Leah on the forehead. "Are you sure?" She asks, upset. She puts Beanie down and he grabs the hat from the toilet bowl and runs around the house with it, dripping wet. "I am 100% sure. Don't you worry about a thing." I say, pulling her closer. She rests her head on my chest, the way she used to. "Oh hi!" Niall exclaims, trying to hide his anger. Leah snaps out of it and walks over to Niall. "Hi," She says awkwardly. She walks past him and goes down stairs. "Who do you think you are?" Niall shouts, shutting the door so the girls wont hear. "I'm Harry Styles incase you didn't know," I smirk, getting a rise out of him. "She is my girlfriend! Back off!" He says, stepping closer. I step back. "Woah, what is your problem? If she didn't want to hug me, she wouldn't. What does that tell you, mister grumpy pants?" I snap. I soon feel a sharp pain on my cheek. "Did you just punch me?" I scream at Niall. He nods, and turns around. "If you touch her one more time, you won't live to do it again." He adds, before walking down the stairs. Well, she will just have to touch me then.
