As we shopped Alex told me about their apartment and how even she was surprised about it too. Zayn goes to UCLA but now that they live together, there isn't a problem with seeing each other. In return, I told her about the crazy party in the sorority house. She laughed at what I said about Niall. "You should definitely get at that. I mean, what girl is not turned on by a boys arrogance," she said rolling her eyes and muttering a few curse words. We both laughed and walked out of the store. "Okay I think I have taken the term 'shop 'till you drop' too seriously," I said sitting down on a bench. "Can we go to Boarders? I hear they have a sale! Please?!" Alex begged me.

I sighed and got up to walk to Boarders. I walked into the store and took in it's cool, soft grunge atmosphere. It was fairly dark and the music played a mixture of ska and indie artists. Alex practically ran to the shoes and I made my way to the accessories and the crop tops. I scanned the tops and tried on a few hats. I tried them on in the mirror receiving a laugh from myself. "I think they all looked good on you," a voice from behind me said. I jumped and spun around quickly to see a guy behind me with a nametag on. He had black hair that fell over forehead and one eye was blue and the other was a hazel color. He flashed me a perfect white smile. "Welcome to Boarders! My name is Adam," he said and paused, "Would you like any help?" I flushed and nodded my head. Adam started picking out different hats for me to try on; pink, green, beanies, crochet hats. Too many for me to name. I laughed at each one I tried on. Then he started to try them on with me which made me feel a little less silly; but nonetheless it was pretty ridiculous. He picked out flower crown with daisies on it, "This could be the one..may I?" He was asking to put the crown on me. I blushed and lowered my head for him to put it on me. Once he placed it on my head, I turned around to look at myself in the mirror and I fell in love with it. "Wow...you're beautiful," Adam said obviously absent mindedly. He began to stutter and ran his fingers through his hair at a nervous pace and I just looked down at my feet.

"To save you from embarrassing yourself any further, I'll take this customer from here," I heard a voice say from behind Adam. I looked over his shoulder to see a boy with blonde hair and his arms crossed over his broad chest  and had a smirk on his face. Niall. Fucking Niall. I glared at him which only made his grin grow. "This is my sale Niall," Adam countered still trying to collect himself. "Obviously the sale is going so well with you lot rubbing your dandruff off on the merchandise and what not," Niall said rolling his eyes. If looks could kill, Niall would have been a pile of ash beneath my shoe. He beckoned for Adam to come to him; he moved towards and Niall pulled him closer to whisper in his ear. I couldn't hear what he said but Adam turned around to look at me with sad eyes. "I hope you find what you need...thank you for shopping at Boarders," his face flushed and he stalked back to the register. "Who the hell do you think you are," I asked as calmly as I could. He took a step towards me to look down at me, "Well I know for a fact that I'm Niall Horan a.k.a Jesus...I go by either name," he said with a shrug. "I know who you are," I spat back. "Shit, we only met once and you're already obsessed with me? Or maybe it's because I'm that popular...I'll go with both," he said with a wicked grin. "How 'bout neither? How about word spreads of how big of an asshole you are that you never have to introduce yourself. Your arrogant aura speaks for you." I was in no mood to go at it with this guy for a second time in less than twenty four hours. "As much as I love how feisty you are, your stubborness gets in the way," he said inching closer to me. "The way of what," I took a small step back and crossed my arms over my chest. "You know Lillian, it's very distracting when you push your tits up to my face like that. Thanks for the offer though," Niall said with a wink. I gasped and dropped my hands to my side abruptly.

"As I was saying, it's getting in the way of you admitting how much you're in to me," he moved closer and placed his hands on my hips. I started to stutter and my face was completely flushed. I tried to back away from his firm grip on me but my backside ran into a clothes rack. He leaned into my neck and I craned my neck slightly so he had access. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and I shuttered which won a chuckle from Niall. I felt him press a small but agonizingly slow kiss on my collarbone and I gasped at the sudden contact we had. He looked up at me with a knowing smile. I loved it. I wanted more. He moved back up to my neck and kissed me again, then one on my jawline, and one underneath my earlobe. My head was swimming but to my amazement I finally got my train of thought back on the track and pushed him away from me. What the hell was I doing? I just met this guy and he's been asshole to me both times. I've never done as much as kiss a guy and I wanted this douche-y stranger to put his hands on me? No I don't think so.

"Don't...touch me," I said trying to keep my panting to a minimum. "Well that's funny, you seemed to have liked it fifteen seconds. I barely touched you and your panting. God, you're sexy," he said biting his lip. "And you're a pig," I snapped. My breathing finally slowed to a normal pace but now I was fuming at Niall. He shrugged and shoved his hands into his pockets, "Oink oink," he said with that obnoxiously gorgeous smile of his. I groaned and threw my flower crown at him. I walked to Alex who just finished buying clothes, waved at Adam, and pulled her out of the store. "What the hell happened," she asked when we made our way back to Sears. "That asshole I was telling you about," I grumbled. She laughed and shook her head, "Do I need to go kick a dick?" It was my turn to laugh.

"No...but I think I'm going to head back to my house. Tell Zayn I said bye bitch." I gave her a hug good bye and walked through Macys to the parking lot. I put my clothes in my truckbed and headed to the driver's seat. "Lillian! Lillian wait up!" There's only one Irish accent-other than Noah's-that I could recognize at the drop of a hat.

"What the hell do you want?" He handed me a small bag. The flower crown. "I didn't pay for this," I said. "I know you didn't. Adam did." Niall said with an eye roll. "Oh. Tell him I said thank you." I don't know why I expected it to be from Niall. Well more like I wanted it to be from him. I snatched it from him and climbed into my truck. "That's hot," he said looking me up and down. "What," I snapped. I have never been so irritated with a person. ' You drive a truck. That's pretty fucking hot."

I rolled my eyes and he winked at me. "You know, for someone who thinks he can get any girl he wants-" He cut me off, "I can and will get any girl I want. I always get what I want. Just like your friend Marissa she was a pretty good fuck." I wanted to slap that smug look off his face. But that's just what he wants me to do. I refuse to play this stupid little game. His stupid little game.

"As I was saying...for you to say that I'm the one obsessed with you, isn't it a little funny that you're telling me how sexy I am and I'm trying to get as far away from you as I possibly fucking can? I mean how do you even know my name anyways," I said with the fakest bitch voice I could muster. His face dropped and I could his ego was hurt and he's pissed. I'm sure he's not used to a girl turning him down. "Your charm bracelet," he said in a cool voice. With that he turned around and walked back into the mall. I looked down at my wrist to the bracelet my mother gave me for my tenth birthday. Oh. I got to the house and the whole house was spotless. Marissa was in the kitchen.

"Hey! What did you think of the party last night?" she asked me with a smile. I shrugged my shoulders. "Well I thought it was awesome," she said with a wink. I gave her a small smile and went upstairs. Slut.
