She's Not Afraid

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: THE REMEDY

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: THE REMEDY

*CHER'S POV*

"I guess I overreacted a bit yesterday..."

I decided to be 'mature' in dealing with Louis the next day.

"I'm so sorry! It's my fault... not yours." He pouted.

"No, it's OUR fault, don't take the blame all by yourself and let's just cut it out with the drama. I'm not good at holding a grudge so yeah..."

"Does this mean we can start all over?" Louis looked hopeful.

"No, we're back to square one so I'll probably find you annoying again."

"Just because I'm not gay?!" He shrieked.

"Uh..." I burst out laughing at him for some reason.

"Let's just not worry our lives away just because of that, okay?" I patted him on the head.

"If you say so..." He grinned cheekily then planted a quick kiss on my lips...

"TOMLINSON!!! HOW DARE YOU?!" By the time I was screaming, he was already running away from me.

"COME HERE, YOU!!!" I chased after him.

*LIAM'S POV*

"Uh, what am I doing talking to you kids again?" I scratched my head.

"We're asking for your permission if we could switch roommates. I want Louis while Zayn prefers Niall." Harry proposed.

"I don't really give a damn." I shrugged.

"But you're like our mother." Zayn whined.

I then gave him a stern look which made the guy shiver.

"Fine then, the answer is NO. Have fun tolerating each other." I smiled.

Harry and Zayn looked at me like I was a crazy person.

"Well, you asked for it. Now go away..." I shooed them off.

I've been keeping my distance from Cher these days, thinking that it would help me get rid of this 'uncanny' feeling that's just there when I'm around her but I was wrong.

It just grew stronger.

I locked myself into my room then proceeded to the net.

Thinking of a remedy to this 'strange' feeling wasn't easy but I just came up with a solution last night which satisfies me just fine as of the moment.

Pinterest. I can't believe I'm saving pictures of Cher like a fanboy who's hooked.

I couldn't stop myself from pinning non-stop since yesterday and my board's just full of her pretty face.

What is wrong with me?

'NandoMambo just commented on one of your pins.' I got a notification.

'Such a cutie!' I read the comment on one of Cher's photos.

Duh! This dude is surely stating the obvious...

'Vashappenin just commented on one of your pins.' I got another notification.

'Love this sexy pic of hers...' What the hell?

Where do I find the 'report abuser' button?

'KevinThePigeon just...' Blah3x

'Ooh! I love your board about Cher!!! Lots of neat pictures... you should also check out my board!'

Never knew she has a lot of fanboys online...

'This photo makes me horny.' Some random user named 'Hazza' commented on one of my pins.

"Such a lot of creeps out there..." I sighed and shook my head.

I should probably get some fresh air outside.

******

I went out for a walk at the nearby skater area because I got bored.

Not because I keep looking at Cher's high quality photos all day but because of my troubled self.

I'm contemplating as to why I'm bipolar especially once I'm around her.

Also to let off some steam because of those unknown people online who commented such random and inappropriate things in my Pinterest.

"CHER LLOYD! CHER LLOYD! CHER LLOYD!" I heard the crowd cheer from a distance.

This immediately got my attention so I rushed to see what was happening, pushing through the crowd as I made my way to the front of the skating zone.

Cher was skating like a pro right before my eyes and this made my mouth hang open at how cool and amazing she looks right now...

'When I fall in love, I'd take my time

There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind...'

A 'Jason Mraz' song suddenly played inside my head out of the blue and I don't even know why.

Whoa, where'd she learn such AWESOME skills?!

"What's up, Liam?" She approached me right after doing her skating stunts.

"Uh, hi." I hope she didn't see me gaping at her like a fool just a second ago.

"You skate?" Cher flipped her skateboard.

"No."

"Want me to teach you?" She asked.

Why is she being nice to me?

I don't think I deserve it.

"No thanks." I turned down her offer rather rudely.

Now I'm starting to feel guilty for secretly saving her pictures in my computer for no particular reason.

*NIALL'S POV*

"I'm SO sorry! Please forgive me!" I wailed once Cher entered the apartment... with Liam.

"For what?" She arched an eyebrow.

"Oh, um, nothing. Haha." Did she possibly forget about what I did in the Ferries Wheel?

"I remember everything perfectly though..." She whispered sexily on my ear.

What is she? A HOT mind-reader?!

"But I don't think it's something that you should apologize for, Nialler. It's no big deal, really." She patted my shoulder.

Okay, should I be relieved or worried just because she doesn't see me as a threat?

"Wait, why did you just came in together with Liam? Is there something that I should know about other than your misconception of me and Louis being lovers? Which is pretty gross by the way..." Louis just told me everything earlier about what he did, pretending to be gay and all.

"What? The guy keeps groping you everywhere so I thought that... you know." She giggled adorably.

"Louis gropes everyone in here except you of course. I just wouldn't allow it! Want to eat some ice-cream?" I offered randomly.

Forget about Liam. What matters is that I get to spend more time with her and thank God our friendship is still intact!

"Sure." She smiled like a kid and I did the same thing to her.
