Night Rider (Niall Horan)

[16] Beat Down

{A/N I attached the outfit that's described in this chapter bc personally I like to imagine what ppl look like and what they wear and stuff in books while I'm reading :). Enjoy!}

Reyna's POV

"Levi." I smiled towards him. "Do you mind waiting in the car, I'll be right down."

"Yeah, I can do that." He smiled and got up from the couch exiting my apartment. I shot up from my seat on the couch and out of Niall's grasp.

"What in the living fuck is wrong with you?" I shouted looking down at Niall, who was still sitting. He bit his lip trying to hide his smile.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Can you be a bit more specific baby?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Nervous about a race? Hot steaming bubble bath? Lots of fun for the two of us? You are purposely trying to get a rise out of him like you do to me."

He chuckled and slowly stood up. I craned my neck slightly upwards to look at the towering figure that hovered over me. He simply shrugged and walked away from me. He grabbed his sunglasses and started to put on his white Chuck Taylors.

"Niall what-"

"You and Levi aren't going out alone. I'm coming with you two."

I huffed and quickly walked back to my bedroom. There was no use arguing with him. There's not much he can do to get under Levi's skin anyway. He's a smart guy and won't let Niall get to him. I applied some light makeup in front of the mirror in my room. I scanned the clothes in my closet and quickly picked a black spaghetti strap crop top. I stepped into my favorite high waisted jean shorts and I slipped a pretty floral kimono over my shoulders to top the outfit off.

I made my way to the front door and slipped into my white converse.

"I'll just have a caramel frappuccino." I smiled as the waiter left the three of us.

Levi was surprised that Niall would be joining us. His surprise soon turned into hesitation. I could tell Levi didn't like Niall one bit, and I couldn't blame him. Especially after last night.

Levi was too nice to say no, so he said that it was okay if Niall came along.

And now here we all sat at a popular café that Levi and I always love going to. We had a lovely table outside under an umbrella that shielded us from the sun. It was blazing hot but it was a nice kind of warmth. Not the humid kind that summer in Florida would usually get you. I sighed happily and looked around at the swaying palm trees. The light breeze helped my body cool off slightly.

"It's such a beautiful day isn't it?" I looked at both guys. Niall had his feet up on the table and was leaning back in his chair, texting someone. Levi had his eyes fixed on me and smiled a perfect, white toothed smile.

"Yeah it is. Perfect weather. After this we can head over to the outlet mall across the street. And then I'll buy you dinner. How does that sound?" When he finished talking he rested his hand and mine and softly rubbed my knuckles with the pad of his thumb.

I opened my mouth to answer but Niall spoke, cutting me off. "So this is how you're making it up to her? Buying your way back into her trust?"

"Niall. Shut. Up." I said angrily through gritted teeth. I didn't take my eyes off of Levi.
