Roomies

Chapter 20

( A lil christmas present for you all ;))

Niall’s POV.

Fucking hell! That fucking Ethan, god I hate him! I hate how well he knows Stella, how easy he push me over my edge and mostly, the way she looks at him. She looks at him like he is everything to her, I noticed it the first time I saw them together and I see it in her eyes every single time he’s close, which is too often.

I really wanted to hit him today, he’s been on my nerves the last couple of weeks and our conversation from a couple of days keeps replaying in my mind.

“She will never want to be with a guy like you.”

“I never said I wanted her to”

“But you do, I’ve seen the way you look at her Niall, but do you really think you have a chance against me?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about but you should probably shut your mouth before you say something you will have to regret”

“Fine, just know that one day, I will be taking her. And I mean Taking her, in bed, on your couch, maybe even on this table here”

I can’t get his words out of my head. Not that I actually care if he sleeps with her, she’s not my girlfriend but the fact that he’s so secure about it all drives me crazy.

“Stella is a smart girl, who do you think she will end up with? The boy with a bit to many pointless tattoos and no future, or the man with a master’s degree in English and endless possibilities?”

Yes she is a smart girl, but he would bore her to death. And my tattoos aren’t pointless.

“And what if I tell her what you’ve been telling me today, about fucking her over your table and everything? You really think she’ll like that?”

“Oh young boy, if you talk to her about what I’ve said to you today, I will deny it. And who do you think she will believe?”

He was right about that, she would never believe me if I told her what he had told me. God, why did he have to come into our lives now?!

I kick a rock against Stella’s car and I hear her call my name. I try to gather myself together before she comes over, I don’t want to scare her more than I already have. First the whole situation with Keli and now this, I shouldn’t had tried to pick a fight with Ethan but he was begging me for it, smirking at me as soon as she looked away and he knew exactly what he was doing.

Stella: What the hell was that?!

Niall: He was asking for it.

Stella: He is your teacher, and my friend! You can’t do what you just did!

Niall: Well to fucking bad that I just did!

Stella: Yeah, you can walk home!

She jumped into her car and at first, I thought she joked but when she didn’t open the door on the passenger side, I realized that she wasn’t.

I ended up taking the bus back home. I went into Tesco before going up to the flat though and I bought some snacks and fizzy drinks.

When I got home, 45 minutes later, I heard noise from the livingroom. I took my shoes off and walked in with the bag from the store and saw her sitting on the couch with her legs up on the table, she hated when I did that.

Niall: hey…

I said and walked over, put the bag on the table then sat down next to her. She nodded her head and kept her eyes on the TV.
