Night Rider (Niall Horan)

[15] Accidental Abuse

A loud clattering sound came from downstairs. I jolted upwards, sitting up in my bed and looked around frantically. Niall was no longer laying next to me.

We slept through out the whole afternoon and even through the night.

I remember waking up several times during the night and finding myself in different cuddling positions with him. I was sometimes woken up by soft kisses being placed all over my body. I smiled just thinking about it.

Just then I heard something else bang in the kitchen. My eyes widened in fear. Niall couldn't protect me, he had left. It couldn't have been Krysten, she would've woken me up. And Levi would've called, so there must have been a stranger or burglar in my apartment. I reached under my bed grabbing my security baseball bat and slowly made my way out of the room. I came to a halt at the end of the hallway and peered in the living room and kitchen. To my horror, there was no one there. A few pots and pans were on the kitchen floor and on the stoves, but where was the stranger? I had just heard them in there. Were they close by me? Were they trying to escape? Or hurt me?

And right at that moment, as I was panicking, a voice sounded in my ear, and I felt hot breath on my neck. I couldn't hear what the person had said because I let out an ear piercing scream. My body turned around about 180° and I swung the bat while I was turning. The bat collided with the side of the person's stomach.

I dropped the bat and gasped loudly covering my mouth with my hands. "You idiot you scared me! Are you okay, I'm so so sorry! I'm so so sorry!"

The familiar Irish accent rang through my ears. "Fuck Reyna."

Niall's POV

"Why would you scare me like that! What were you doing in the kitchen making so much noise anyway?" She questioned me with great concern in her eyes. Her soft hands were rubbing the area where she bludgeoned me.

"I-I was just making you breakfast, Princess. I made pancakes, eggs, and hash browns. I was opening the cabinet to get a pan out for French toast but a couple pots fell out. I didn't mean to scare you Rey."

I clutched my stomach and started to cough harshly. I fell to the ground, right on my ass groaning. It hurt to talk and laugh. I laid down on my back listening to her sweet, tender voice.

"Oh Ni, please talk to me. What can I do? How can I make this up to you?"

She lifted my shirt up over my head and I felt her soft hands rest on my bare skin. I closed my eyes as she kissed every inch of my abdomen. Her warm lips against my bruises sent me to heaven. Her small mouth felt sensational and I prayed to god she would give me a few kisses below the belt.

"God, you're already bruised from the fight with Levi, and now I jammed a bat in your rib cage." She had stopped kissing my torso, so at this I opened my eyes. A shiny tear was rolling down her cheek and my body instantly tensed and I panicked. "This is all my fault, why do I screw everything up? What if you broke a rib or-or what if you're bleeding internally o-or what if-"

"Shh shh, baby it's all okay." I gave her a warm smile and sat up in front of her kneeled body. I used the pad of my thumb to wipe her single tear and I gave her a light kiss on her forehead. When I pulled away I studied her face. She was still despondent, I could see it in her eyes. Her beautiful, soft green eyes that I can easily say I love. Her long dark brown hair hung on the side of her face and the morning light shone on her, showing her perfect facial features. Red plump lips a perfect distance from her cute little nose. Elevated cheekbones, and a lightly defined jaw. I'm usually attracted to girls with dark hair, tan skin, and light eyes just like Reyna. But she was a stunning human being and she didn't even know it. What amazes me the most is that there isn't an ounce of makeup on her at the moment, and I was still in awe by her natural glow.

She laughed with a sniffle. "You're staring again."

I bit on my lip ring. "I know. I love everything about your face. Every inch of your gorgeous, and flawless face Rey." I watched her cheeks turn a deep shade of red at my words. I'm glad I have that much power over her. "Do you think I could take an ice bath? It'll help-"

"Yes yes yes yes yes. Yes, whatever you need." She nodded her head so hard I thought it would fly off and start rolling down the hall.

"Thank you." I laughed at her and struggled to stand even with her helping me.

"We only have two bags of ice but I can run next door and ask-"

"Darling, please don't go out of your way." As I leaned on her for support to walk to the bathroom, I kissed the top of her head. "It was an honest mistake, and I've handled harder hits than that. Don't worry your pretty little head about it, okay Princess?"

I looked at her and she nodded helping me sit in the bathtub. I closed my eyes and before I knew it Reyna was dumping bags of ice into the water. She had emptied five bags in no time.

"I asked the neighbors for ice. I'll pay them back soon." She laughed softly and smiled down at me.

"Come here, love." I demanded and licked my lips. She got down on her knees next to the tub and I cupped her cheeks with shivering hands. "I enjoyed myself yesterday, how about you?"

Her cheeks began to turn red again. "I-I loved it."

I stared at her luscious lips and licked my own. I wanted to suck them dry the first chance I got, and now would be the time. Before I could make my move, there was a knock at the door. I sighed loudly removing my hands from her face. "For fucks sake, who is that?"

"I don't know, let me check babe." She stroked my cheek with her thumb and stood up exiting the bathroom. I smiled as I watched her go. I've never been this happy with a girl that I haven't even had sex with. I'm not one to hang around the same girl for long and if I do frequently spend time with the chick, it's because she's fantastic in bed. And great sex with a girl would make me happy. But this is so different than those times. I'm crazy about her. I'm just not sure that I can handle being strapped to one girl. I'll get bored fairly quickly. Reyna wants me to choose between a friendship and a relationship but I don't know what I want. I just want to spend time with her and have sex with no boyfriend, girlfriend type shit. Fuck buddies that hang out a lot. Which kind of sounds like a relationship...

Reyna giggling.

I heard this and it interrupted my thoughts. I stood up from the ice water and grabbed a towel. I couldn't hear what she was saying but she was talking to a dude. I looked at myself in the mirror and cringed. My abdomen looked atrocious. Bruises were scattered across my stomach in patches of purple, blue and red. Next time I see that kid I'll make sure to gouge his eyes out.

More giggling.

I snuck down the hall and entered Reyna's room, undetected by her and the dude. It was Levi, I recognized his god awful voice. I threw my black tee on and changed my briefs and shorts. I strolled out to the living room to find her sitting next to him on the couch. Both of her arms were wrapped around his right arm and she had her head on his shoulder. She looked up at me.

"Hey Ni. Are you doing okay? Did the bath help you-"

"Help me relax? Yeah I'm fine now." I sat down in the corner of the couch, opposite of Levi, and grabbed her by her waist to pull her close to me and away from him. "I was a bit nervous about my drag race that's coming and Reyna suggested I take a steaming hot bubble bath." I locked eyes with him. "We were both having a lot of fun in the bathtub. Being all naked and wet and warm. Was a lot fun for us both."

I could tell he understood exactly what I meant by 'fun' because he got uncomfortable. He looked away from my gaze and shifted in his seat. Reyna was now utterly confused at my lies and as she opened her mouth to speak, I spoke over her.

"So what was it you two were talking about while I was gone?" I stared at Reyna, then looked over at Levi. Then back at Reyna waiting for an answer.
