Just A Joke (A Niall Horan fanfic)

Chapter 3

It now a Friday and I'm finally home from what seems like the longest day I have had. I drop my bag on the floor and run up stairs to change in some more comfortable clothing.

I run back downstairs and make me some hot chocolate. I look out my window to see the snow slowly falling, but still sticking to the ground.

I soon get an idea and I rush to my moms room. I grab her black and white speaker and play some slow and soothing music. I turn the fire place on sit on the sofa beside it.

I glance out the window once more and the snow is falling much faster. You can't see much of my driveway, or the trees. It's a foggy white color, indicating we are about to get a storm.

About five minuets later I hear a scratch and a knock at my front door. I turn my music off and sit my hot chocolate down.

I was surprised and confused at who was at the door.

"Sorry to bother- Mckenzie I didn't know you lived here." Niall stood at my door with Zoe. Ok now I'm really questioning if he's stalking me.

He can tell I'm confused and aggravated that he was here.

I could sense he was freezing and so was Zoe.

I sigh, "come in."

Him and Zoe walk in. He takes his coat off, covered in snow, and hangs his jacket up on the hanger. Zoe shakes off the snow and comes over to me.

"I was walking Zoe a few minuets ago and then it suddenly started snowing, and Zoe got cold. This house was the closest house to us. I didn't know it was yours, truly. I'm sorry." He apologized.

I smile, "Lucky for you, me and Zoe are close friends, and I actually like her. Is she your dog?" I questioned him while petting Zoe.

"No, actually, she's my neighbors dog. They asked me if I could watch Zoe while they went on a vacation. I like her too." He looked down at Zoe and put his hands in his pockets. He almost looked.... n... nice.

He's never looked at anything like he does Zoe. Maybe there's another side to this beast.

"Well you can stay here until the snow dies down." DID I JUST TELL THE NIALL HORAN HE CAN STAY AT MY HOUSE?! What is happening to me?

"Thank you." He looked at me and gave me the cutest toothy smile. My heart melted at the pearly whites he had laid beside each other perfectly.

"Do you want anything to drink, hot chocolate? Coffee?" I asked while giving Zoe some Bologna and water.

"Hot chocolate would be great love." I got my cup and a new cup and made us some hot chocolate. This was the only, and I mean only time I would ever be nice to this boy.

I sat down beside him and handed him his hot chocolate.

Zoe jumped in my lap and soon fell asleep. "Zoe really likes you." He said taking a sip of his drink. The accent is killing me. It's so thick, like his hair.

"Yeah well she's been my only friend since freshman year." Did I really just say that? I feel the heat rise in my cheeks from me telling that to Niall.

I look down and smile at Zoe. I soon felt a warm hand on my knee cap.

He looked at me with his beautiful blue eyes that I just sob over. He rubbed my knee with his thumb slowly. "Mckenzie. I know you probably think I'm an ass, which I am. But actually sitting down and having a decent conversation with you, tells me I know I can be your friend. If you would let me." He looked sincere, a little too sincere.

I didn't say anything, I just started petting Zoe and letting all of my focus, focus on Nialls hand. I gulp thinking about Niall's words as I let them sink in.

"Can I ask you a question?" He asked and I lifted my head up and nodded.

"Why were you crying the other day?" I remembered that I started crying right in front of him the other day.

I just looked at him. I didn't want to tell him that he seemed like the only one that cared about me in a long time, but I did.

"I haven't had someone like you in a long time, and all my emotions were mixing too fast." I shyly said and his hand moved from my knee to my face. He scooted in and now the only thing separating us was Zoe.

He stroked my cheek carefully and bit his lip. His eyes went from my lips to my eyes. I got distracted by his kind words, his beautiful looks, and his damn hand on my skin that I forgot he was just trying to get what he always gets.

I cough and look down. "Oh, the snow is dying down, you should get home before your family is worried." He sighed and got up, while grabbing Zoe's leash. I opened the door waiting for him to leave.

He stopped before exiting my house and he looked at me. "If you'll just let me." He repeated what he said from earlier and left with that.

I close the door and lean up against my door. I sigh loudly and look out the window to see Niall on the phone with someone. I watched him until the white blur made him disappear.

*Nialls POV*

I left her house feeling like I accomplished something. You might think I have some feelings for her, but this is all apart of my plan. I smirked to myself thinking about the foolish girl that will get what she deserves.

I dial Weston's number and on the second ring he answered.

Hey man what you up to?!

Just got back from Mckenzie's house. Mate guess what.

Dude... what did you do?

You could hear the snicker and laugh in his voice.

I went over there with the dog I'm baby sitting and I knocked on her door pretending I didn't know she lived there. She let me in because it was snowing. And I totally fooled her. I almost got a kiss, but her being a loser, she backed out. Like who backs out of a Niall Horan kiss? Anyways I'm getting somewhere and this prank will be amazing.

I am truly shocked. This is actually turning out pretty great, can't believe I doubted you dude. Aye, got to go, keep up the good work.

Alright see ya mate.

I turn my phone off and I reach my house a few minuets later. I really can't stand Mckenzie. Who could stand that freak?
