Lovin' Styles

Alright - Chapter 43

Niall's POV:

I stood in front of Kay's jewelry store, wringing my hands.

I finally walked into the store, walking straight to the one that first caught my eye.

I looked at the jewels on the band, doubting myself.

What if I'm moving too fast?

But you love Riley.

And you gotta get her before she goes back to Harry.

I made up my mind and was about to ask the cashier to buy it when a man appeared behind my shoulder.

"Hello, sir. I would like this ring in a size 7." I turned around to come face-to-face with Harry.

"Harold, you'll have to wait," I said calmly, although I was about to punch him in my mind.

Harry turned to look at me in surprise.

I could see the puzzlement on his face and I proceeded to ask the cashier.

"Excuse me sir, I would like to the ring in a size 7, please."

The cashier nodded and headed to the back room of Kay's.

I looked at Harry.

"Why are you buying an engagement ring?" I sneered.

Harry's eyebrows crushed together. "Why am I? Why are you?"

I rolled my eyes.

"I proposing to Riley, of course," I said.

Harry's green eyes became dark.

"Excuse me? She's already my fiance! You can't propose to a woman who is taken!" He screamed.

I put my hands up in a 'sorry' motion.

"Well, she hasn't worn her engagement since you guys had that fight," I said.

Harry ran his fingers through his hair.

The cashier finally came back from the storage room.

"I'm sorry. There's only one more of that ring in a size 7," he said.

I gasped and heard Harry say, "I'll buy it for twenty-thousand dollars."

I looked at him before bursting out, "Riley's mine!"

And then I punched him.

In the nose.

I caught of the glimpse of his bloody nose before slapping down a few thousand dollars on the table and grabbing the ring.

I ran out the mall, my ribs aching. I hadn't been out of my hospital beds for weeks until this trip.

Once I got in my car, I breathed a sigh of relief only to see Harry walk out of the mall, his hand over his nose.

I quickly started my car and sped out of the parking lot.

Harry's POV:

What the hell is wrong with Niall?

And why is he going to propose to my fiance?

I was still upset that Riley wasn't wearing her ring - and now I had a broken nose.

I picked out a random ring once he left and was on my way to Liam's flat.

When I got to my car, I found out I had a flat tire.

Then I realized that I forgot my phone at Liam's place.

So I was walking home.

And then it started raining.
