Mislead

Chapter. 8

Melody's POV

Once we were finally back at campus after a bit of a drive, Niall and Liv quickly hopped out of the car, leaving me and Harry all by ourselves. Man, this is kind of awkward.

"So about today..." he stammers.

"I know, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told Liv where we were. I didn't know she would actually come, let alone bring Niall with her."

"Well I was going to say that I had fun today." Harry blushes and smiles timidly.

"Oh, really?" my eyes widen at his confession. I thought he hated it.

"Yeah, but I was enjoying myself at breakfast when we were alone just a bit more than when the other two had showed up." his smile grew into an adorable grin. "So with that being said, I was wondering if you wanted to go out next Saturday?"

"Um, yes. That sounds great!" I beam cheerfully.

After saying goodbye to Harry, I followed Niall and Liv back up to our dorm. I didn't realize how far behind them I was until I couldn't see them anymore. When I reached the door, I could hear Liv talking excitedly on the other side.

"What's happening here?" I ask curiously while peeking my head through the opening.

"Niall invited me to his and the boys' place tonight."

"Sounds fun." I say casually.

"You know Melody, you're welcome to come with us. I'm sure that Harry wouldn't mind." he suggests.

"I guess I could go." I agree. As soon as the words leave my mouth, Liv strides across the room and wraps her arms around my very tightly.

"We're all going to have so much fun!" she exclaims.

"I know Liv! Now could you please let go of me?"

"Oh yeah, sorry. I guess I got a bit carried away." she flashes a faint smile and I return the favour.

Liv's POV

"Hey Liv, how much time do we have until we have to leave?" Melody asks. I turn and glance over at my clock that was nested on the top of my little, white side table.

"About 45 minutes" I reply.

"Okay, then I'm going to take a quick shower."  she says while exiting our room. After she left, I went through my clothes and decided on wearing a light grey tank top with a criss-cross back and a pair of loose shorts with some kind of leafy print on them. I couldn't have been bothered with doing my hair and makeup all fancy, so I settled for a messy ponytail and some pearly-pink lipgloss and mascara. Just as I perfect my pout, I hear a knock on the door. I crack it open only to find Sabrina.

"Hey girl!" she practically screams as she lets herself in and walks deeper into the dorm.

"Hi, I haven't seen you since the bonfire." I say with somewhat staged disappointment in my voice.

"Yeah, I've been pretty busy lately." she states while glancing around the room, almost inspecting it. "Anyways, are you coming to the boys' house tonight?" I nod my head at Sabrina, which grabs her attention.

"Melody and I are going."

"Fun!" Sabrina exclaims with evident judgement as she throws a sour eye roll across her face.

"What was that about?" I question. She seems a little surprised that I would be so blunt without any hesitation.

"Nothing."

"You sure?" I press even further.

"Fine!" she snaps at me. "I don't like seeing Melody and Harry together."

"Why?"

"Harry and I had a thing for a bit but it was a while back. I don't know why I can't just get over it."

"I totally get it, it happens to the best of us." I say seriously, but deep down I am cracking-up at this whole situation.

"Really?" she looks for reassurance.

"Of course." I give her the answer she wants to hear, even though I'm not sincere at all. I can't wait to tell Melody all about this. Just after I reply to Sabrina, Melody waltzes through the door, wrapped up in a fluffy, white towel. Sabrina shoots me an annoyed look and I mockingly return one, but she doesn't pick up on it. It's almost as if she forgets that Melody is practically my sister.

"Well, see you tonight Liv!" Sabrina says with a giant smile. Almost instantly, she flips her switch to grumpy. "Oh, and Melody." she marches out the door and forcefully slams it behind her, making Melody jump a little. As soon as she's gone I let out a ginormous laugh that was bottled up during the whole conversation with Sabrina.

"What was that all about?" Melody giggles.

"Well..." I stop myself from chuckling "She said she had this thing with Harry a while ago, and now she hates seeing you two together."

"So pretty much she hates me for no reason?" her shocked smile grows even wider.

"That about sums it up."

After our brief conversation, Melody went into the bathroom to blow dry her hair. She came out with natural looking hair, minimal makeup and she wore white crochet shorts with a solid black top.

"Ready to go?" I ask her.

"Yeah, let's do it."

Melody and I kept our eyes peeled while driving down the road in search of Niall and the boys' house. As we come closer to the end of the road, we both looked up and gasped at the sight of the huge mansion at the end of the cul de sac. There were people stumbling in and out of the house and music was blaring. This is definitely their place. I park my car on the side of the road and Melody and I quickly hop out. Me being as eager as I am, I nearly race up to their door and call behind me for Melody to walk faster. When I walk through the door, the music is twice as loud as it was outside. There were people everywhere with red solo cups, which made it hard to make my way around. I decided that the kitchen was going to be the first place I would look for Niall. Once I made my way there, I smiled when I noticed Niall and the others standing around the table. As I approach them, Liam looks up and instead of giving me a warm smile like I expected, his face remains neutral. Not soon after Liam's glance, the rest of the boys focused on me. The only two who had different expressions from Liam were Niall and Louis, who both gave me a big grin. The group quickly dispersed and Niall walked over towards me.

"Hey there beautiful." he said while wrapping his arms around my waist. Before I can respond, he sneaks in a quick peck. "Do you want something to drink?" he asks me.

"That's okay. I don't really feel like drinking tonight."

"Alright, that's a good plan. So, do you want to dance?"  he asks.

"Well, you know, I am a good dancer." I smirk and put both of my hands on his chest while looking up at him.

"Oh, really?" he challenges and I give him a small nod. "Why don't you prove it then?" Niall grabs my wrist and pulls me onto the dance floor.

Once we were amidst all of the other sweaty people, Niall twirls me around so my back is facing him. He wraps his hand around my hips and pulls me in close, so our bodies are pressed up against each other. The rate of which we rock back and forth increases with the tempo of the song that was blasting through the house. Niall's hands stay planted on sides during most of our dance, but occasionally move towards the front of my hips and back again. He drops his head down into the crook of my neck, kissing my collarbone and sucking at the skin underneath my ear. I bite my lip trying to conceal my moans, but fail as soon as Niall takes my earlobe in between his teeth.

"Do you want to go upstairs?" he whispers into my ear.

"Mhmm" is all I say, not being able to form a proper sentence.
