Chapter 17

The car ride seemed so long. I was uncomfortable next to Niall but somehow I felt safe. Okay, I admit it. I wish there was a part of me that could resist him, but I guess not. There's just something about him. Something dark. Something secret. And I want to know what it is. 

Niall is a rude spoiled boy, fucking annoying and a pain in the ass, but a part of me thinks or just wants to believe that he has something good inside. I mean all people have some good inside, right?

"Did you have fun at the party?" Niall asked while his eyes were still on the street. I just shrugged my shoulders. In the corner of my eye I could see that Niall looked at me for a second before his eyes landed on the street once again.

"Why do you despise me so much?" He asked and I wanted to bang my head against the door frame of the car. Couldn't he just shut up? I just ignored him, hoping he would drop it but I was wrong.

"Lexie." he cooed and I wanted to puke. 

"What?" I spat. Wasn't it obvious that I didn't want to talk to him?

"I asked you something." He said calm.

"Well, I don't want to talk." I said while looking at my nails. Woah! Got to get them done!

"Answer please." he begged. I just shook my head and then he asked again.

"Fine! I despise you because you are a rude, arrogant, annoying spoiled brat that I don't want anything to do with okay?!" I barked at him and he just sat there speechless.

"You don't even know me..." His words were husky and he blinked a few times.

"I know you well enough to dislike you." I said and that was true. He had stalked me, broken into my home and then it turns out he's one of my brother's best mates. Lucky me! Not...

"No, actually you don't! You don't know me at all just so you know. I'm not the dick I pretend to be!" He yelled and it grew silent. Wow, I did not see that coming. Maybe I had judged him too fast? Maybe he is a really nice guy. Maybe I decided to hate him before I even knew him? Okay I know I shouldn't feel guilty but I do. This isn't an act. I could see the hurt behind his eyes and it made my stomach turn. Not in a good way.

We were finally at my apartment and before I opened the car door I turned around to face Niall. I felt really bad for what I said. 

"I'm sorry for what I said, you're right I do..." Before I could finish he interrupted me. 

"Don't pretend to be sorry." he said, his eyes not meeting mine.

"I am sorry Niall. You have all right to be mad at me. I would be angry at you if you judged me that quick." I said and as soon as the words left my mouth he turned around and he had glossy eyes. Then a few tears rolled down his cheek. He turned around and wiped the tears off. He cleared his throat and then acted like it didn't happen. Like he didn't cry at all.

Then I did something I never thought I would do again. I reached over to him and cupped his face in my hands. Niall opened his eyes, his perfect blue ones staring into mine. I  brushed my thumb over his chin and he gave me a half smile. Then he leaned over to me and his lips met mine carefully. Usually I would pull away but this time I kissed him back without hesitation. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all?
