Twenty Five

1amgrunge: "The problem is that I'm trying to find you in other people, but there's no one like you."

12pmpunk: "Come a little closer than you seem. Come on, Come on, Come on. Things ain't always what they seem to be."

The boys were coming over today so I was cleaning up the apartment a bit while Marcel went to handle some "business" with his boss. I sense he too deals with the same company as Niall. Although, I'm not going to make a fuss over it because, last time it resulted in me starving myself and sulking in my room.

I took a shower and dressed in a cute little black romper with a pattern of asymmetrical lines on it. I paired it with black sandals and put my hair in a simple braid. Marcel hasn't arrived yet so I decided to text him.

From Marcel:
Chill out, babe. I'm at work right now. I'll be over in a few. x

I rolled my eyes and muttered colorful language. I heard a knock on the door and I got up to answer it. I found the boys smiling faces staring back at me. I let them in and we sat down on the couch.

I was catching up with them on what I couldn't yesterday when Zayn decided to speak up for the first time. "He really misses you, ya' know. He wrote a song for you." His eyes staring into mine as he spoke with such gentleness in his voice.

"Yeah, he misses me so much that he sleeps with everything that has two holes between their legs." I mumbled sarcastically.

"Lauren, we all see how you are with Marcel. Don't get me wrong, Marcel is good. But, Niall's better." Harry said with honesty. I sighed.

"I honestly won't believe he misses me until, he proves it to me." I said holding my head high.

"We just want what's best for you." Louis answered back with a slight frown upon his face.

"We are still up for Friday, am I correct?" I asked Liam who had not yet spoken during the whole discussion earlier. He nodded and got up leaving without giving me a hug or anything. I looked at the boys who shrugged and gave me a hug.

"Don't worry about him, love. Niall's his best mate and he's the only one who was watching Niall's progress throughout the years." Zayn said leaning in to whisper in my ear while hugging me. I pulled back and smiled.

I waved him farewell and closed the door waiting for Marcel to arrive. Apparently, I misinterpreted "a few". I thought he meant in a few minutes. But, apparently he meant in a few hours.

I watched TV for a while when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" I yelled expecting Marcel. Little did I know how wrong I was. I found Sofia's presence standing at the door.

"What do you want?" I asked semi-kindly.

"I wanted to have a little chat." She said smirking.

"Sit." I said pointing over to the kitchen table. We both sat in the chairs across from each other when she spoke.

"Listen here, I know you're only dating Marcel to get revenge on what I did to Niall." She sneered.

"What? Why do care about my relationship with Marcel?" I asked confused as to what she was implying.

"You know I want him. The only reason I dragged Niall into this business was so that a girl would fall into my trap." She explained narrowing her eyes at me.
