(for cryduda because your comments make me laugh so hard💕)

niall
as he came out of the shed, he could feel a pair of eyes scanning his body. a small smirk made its way on his lips as he caught the culprit. elanora thought niall didn't see her through his glasses, but he did. he saw her shamelessly checking him out. he didn't mind though, he had been checking her out since this morning.

"like what you see, babe?" niall asked cockily as he walked over to where she was. elanora blushed, stumbling for the right words to say. how cute, he though. niall laughed and pecked her on the cheek.

"time for lunch!" his mother called out to everyone. a few 'yay!'s were heard from the little ones.

they made their way inside and was met by a long table of food. "mom, you've outdone yourself!" niall said grabbing a plate. everyone was praising maura on her wonderful cooking. "everything looks delicious maura," elanora added as she took the last plate.

one after the other, they all lined up and took their food. niall chose everything on the table and needed an extra plate. elanora took the roast beef, salad and the spanish rice.

she and niall sat next to each other in the dining table. "so elanora, are you and niall dating? i know he said you're only a friend, but somehow i doubt that," one of his aunts, marjorie, joked. "we are just friends," elanora assured her with a small smile.

"for now anyway," niall added. the table erupted in laughter making elanora blush. "get it, niall!!" the teenage cousins said in unison. niall rolled his eyes, his family was something else.

elanora hit him hard on the arm. "ouch!" he pouted. "you big baby," elanora stuck her tongue out at him. they both laughed at each other's antics. 

maura, who was seated across from them, couldn't help but smile. friends my ass, she thought.

the rest of the afternoon flew by quickly. everyone was catching up on what they missed out in each other's lives.

niall's eyes didn't leave elanora's face all afternoon. she was so radiant and bubbly. she chatted up his family quite a bit. he could tell that his mother adored the hell out of her. he really wanted her to be his girlfriend, but he knew he had to take things slow. she had been hurting after her breakup to that married guy.

niall didn't look at her any different. she was a girl that made a mistake. everyone makes mistakes.

"thank you for coming with me," niall said as they were walking to his car. "i'm really glad you asked me. they are all so wonderful," she smiled, there was a little bit of sadness in her eyes. niall picked up on that, "what's wrong el?".

"nothing. it's just that i wish my family was like that. your mother loves you so much. she doesn't care about what you do with your life or who you want to be. i haven't spoken to mine in years. they didn't want me to come out here and do what i wanted. they already had my life planned out for me," elanora explained.

"i can't imagine how hard it is for you. tell you what, we can share my family. they are your's too now," niall grinned.

"why are you so nice?" elanora smiled. she was so beautiful when she smiled, he thought.

"because i like you," he replied softly.

elanora looked at him, her face unreadable. niall knew better than to kiss her right now, but fuck did he want to.

"nialler! hold on!" maura shouted from the front door. she rushed out with two plates, both piled high with cookies. elanora's mouth watered at the sight.

"one for you and one for you," maura handed them each a plate. "thank you maura," elanora smiled, glad for the cookies and the distraction from the conversation that she and niall were about to have.

"no worries, hun. take care of yourselves," she gave them both a hug. she hugged niall the longest, telling him to call her more often. elanora smiled at their mother-son relationship.

niall opened the car door for her and she got in. maura was waving them off from the pavement.

"she's so lovely," elanora smiled, looking at his mum in the rearview mirror. "lovely? that's so british of you," niall snickered. elanora rolled her eyes and hit him again.

niall had a wonderful time with elanora. she was everything he could ask for in a girl. he wasn't quite sure if she felt the same way about him as he does her. she was sending him mixed signals and boy was he confused. one minute they were kissing and the other she was pushing him away.

he chuckled as he thought back to the dinner that she made him finish and the incident with the strawberries.

he looked over to where she was. her head was tilted against the door and her eyes were shut.

elanora
"thanks for today," elanora mumbled rubbing her eyes. niall had just woken her up because they were outside of her house. "anytime," he said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"i'll call you later," she shut the car door. "i'm looking forward to it," he added cheekily. elanora rolled her eyes and fought the smile that made its way on her face.

she opened the door to her house and tarzan came running towards her. he barked cheerfully, clearly happy that she was home. "good boy! who's a good boy?" she cooed, petting him gently.

she placed her plate of cookies on the counter and walked into the living room. "harry? what are you doing here?" she jumped, placing her hand on her heart. she wasn't expecting him to be here.

"where the hell have you been? and who was that guy that dropped you off?" harry asked calmly. it was obvious that he was really mad. his eyes were shooting daggers at her, his jaw was clenched and his nostrils flared.

"it's none of your damn business where i've been! you didn't show up, okay? you have no right to get mad at me!" elanora exclaimed. how dare he just come into my house and start investigating me, she though. what a fucking prick.

"oh, so because i didn't show up, you think you have the right to go fuck some other guy?" harry yelled at her, getting off of the couch.

elanora's mouth dropped, "is that what you think of me? you think that i'm just some whore that fucks a variety of men? you know what? fuck you harry styles!".

his eyes widened, he has never seen her so mad at him before but he wasn't going to back down. "how am i suppose to know? i'm not here all the time!" he balled his hands into a fist.

"oh yeah, harry? well whose fault is that, huh? you're not here because your fucking married! if you really loved me you would leave her! i'm so tired of this. you know what, you have to chose right now. me or her harry," elanora screamed at him, pointing her hands in all directions out of anger.

harry fell silent. he should really choose his battles carefully. he bit his lip and looked at the woman he claimed to love. she was furious, and she had a right to be. he didn't have the right to come in her house and accuse her of such things.

"well? who the fuck is it going to be, harry?" elanora asked once again.
