Bailey's point of view

I was done arguing with him. It was a waste of the both of our time.

I tried to ignore him as he called after me to stop. I could hear him getting closer to me, but I didn't slow down.

It was a feudal attempt to begin with.

"Bailey stop," I felt his hand grip around my wrist and I was turned to face him. I let out a sigh as he seemed to search my face for something. I wasn't going to stand here and do this for much longer.

I was about to tell him that he needed to just let it go. Clearly we weren't going to agree. But my words were interrupted when his hands cupped both of my cheeks. I froze as everything seemed to move in slow motion. He closed his eyes and started leaning closer.

My brain screamed to get out of his grip before it was too late, but something else kept me standing right were I was.

My eyes closed as he reached my lips.

Everything about it was wrong and maybe that's why it felt absolutely right. 

His hands traced down to my hips as I reached up on my toes to wrap my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer to him so that there was barely any space between us. I could practically feel the smirk on his lips as we kissed.

I was so lost in everything about him. His smell, his hands roaming over my back, the way his lips traced perfectly over mine, the lip ring that I didn't know would feel so good, his hair tangled in between my fingers. I pictured his tattooed arms and his ocean eyes and I pressed my lips harder and more desperately against his. Someone please tell me why we hadn't done this earlier?

As I fell deeper and deeper into the kiss, it was almost like a small string started tugging me back.

Then the string became a rope.

Then the rope became my common sense and I snapped my eyes open and pushed Niall away from me.

We both stood completely still. My hands were still rested on his chest from pushing myself back from the kiss, and I stared into his wide eyes. I'm sure mine were just the same. Wide and shocked at what had just happened. Maybe not as much shocked at what had happened, but more shocked as to how amazing it felt. Hopefully I wasn't the only one who thought it was amazing. 

It felt like we were in the position for an hour but it was only a couple minutes before I let my hands fall back to my sides. I never once broke eye contact. 

"Why did you do that?" Was the only thing I could say, and it came out more like a whisper than I had intended it to.

"You were walking away," Niall said.

"You could have just stopped me."

"Well I wanted to kiss you."

"Oh."

There was a pause and I looked down at my feet. You could cut the tension between us with a knife. 

"Why?" I asked looking back up. 

Niall let out a sigh and reached up to run his fingers through his hair. I flashed back to how it felt running my hands through them just moments ago. "I don't know how else to show you Bailey. From day one you've probably been one of the most frustrating people that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I couldn't help but think about all the things you would say to me, good and bad. And that's the thing, you're on my mind all the time. I've never tried to analyze someone so much in my life. No one else has been worth it. That's what I'm trying to tell you. You're worth it. You're worth more than what those standards that your so called friends hold you up to. They don't even hold a candle to you. You're an asshole Bailey, and so am I. You say this can't work because we are nothing a like, but we are everything a like. You don't take any of my shit and I won't take any of yours. I've never meet someone who I bicker more with and I love every single second of it."

I stood speechless after Nialls rant. How does someone respond to this? Clearly there was a feeling between the two of us. You would have to be an idiot not to feel it. And no matter how many times I swore I wouldn't get involved with him again it didn't matter because look where I'm standing right now. Niall is standing in front of me, we just kissed, and I think that was Niall's way of telling me that he liked me. 

I opened my mouth to respond, "Niall, why didn't you-"

I stopped as I felt my phone vibrate in my sweatshirt pocket.

Out of habit I reached in and grabbed it, thinking that it would be my mom wondering where I was and why I was taking so long. As I looked at the screen though, Carolines name lit up showing that I had a new message from her. 

A voice in my head said not to open it. Ignore it. How needs Caroline when Niall is standing right in front of you?

But we all know that I am very good at ignoring the nagging voice in my head.

I opened the text.

Caroline: Just got in a fight with Derek. Need some retail therapy. Meet me at the mall in 10.

I froze. Well actually I didn't. My mind froze. My body did the only thing that it was used to.

Me: K be there soon.

I hit send and looked back up at Niall. He was looking at me interested in who I was talking to. This was my chance to get away. I needed space. I needed to think about what he just told me. This can't be something that I can just do a spur of the moment thing and tell him that i liked him more than anyone I knew right now and that was the most fantastic kiss I had ever experienced. I can't do this like that. He deserves better no matter how amazing he seems to think I am. He's wrong. 

"That was my mom. I have to go," I said and took a step back.

"No it wasn't," Niall said letting out a ruff laugh and shaking his head.

"Yes it was," I lied defensively.

"Whatever Bailey," Niall began, "Whatever plans you have are clearly more important now so go have a wonderful time doing whatever wonderful shit you have planed with you wonderful fucking friends!" His words got louder and harsher as he kept going.

"Niall please-" I started.

"Stop Bailey. Just go. Clearly this wasn't the time to do this," Niall said, more relaxed this time. But for some reason I didn't want him to be relaxed. I wanted him to scream at me and telling me I'm a fucking asshole and make me stay and yell at him until the sun set. When he acted relax it felt as though he was giving up. I can't have him giving up.

"I'm sorry," was the only thing I could say before I turned and walked to my car. 

I drove out of the parking spot as quick as I could, drowning out everything by blaring my music so loud I wouldn't be able to hear any of the shit my brain was saying. 

I made it to the mall and turned the car off. 

I sat still and stared at the steering wheel, my hands still clutching it. 

I wish I was still standing in front of Niall.

I wish Niall was still yelling at me.

I wish I was still kissing Niall.

My thought was interrupted by my phone once again vibrating. I almost ignored it thinking hat I was probably just Caroline telling me to hurry up because she couldn't wait to tell me what shit Derek had done this time. But I pulled it out anyway. It's like I'm not even the slightest bit in control of my body today.

The number was unknown.

Unknown: So, are you going to kiss and tell or is Niall your new big secret?

Shit.
