Loving You is Hard, Especially When I Hate You.

The Necklace, and Unwanted Drivers

CHAPTER 7

“so- not to be rude or anything but- what are you doing here?!” Zayn says sitting down on the couch. I walked over to my usual seat when I realized it was occupied by Liam. He smirked at me as if he knew something I didn't. I frowned looking around. Realizing why he was smiling. There are no more seats available.

I was all prepared to sit on the ground when I felt two familiar arms wrap around my waist pulling me onto their lap. I looked over my should to see the same goofy smile that was suppose to be answering Zayn's question. Darren.

He quickly turned to Zayn still smiling like the idiot he was. In a good way. “well Zayn, I got a job down here. It's only for a a bit but it's a job.” Darren works for his fathers construction company. He did a few jobs out of Bradford if they paid really well. I guess this one did enough for him to actually want to come to London. I remember him telling us about how he would never set foot in the city. He would always rant about how much he hated the place. It was another reason he wasn't happy about my decision to move here. I bit my lip thinking about it. I needed to talk to him in private. The way we ended... and how he just showed up like it never happened... it didn't make sense at all. Not to me at least.

“that's great man! What are you working on then?”

“ah some dance studio. They are renovating some of their rooms. New mirrors, they want to connect two rooms together. They are paying a crap load of money just for it.” I sat up straight looking at him.

“what studio?”

“i don't know it was like .. watermelon or something. I think I heard you talking about it a couple of time.” I at that point I was probably paler than Casper the friendly ghost. Before I could say anything Niall had to blurt out.

“Hey! Is it Pineapple? Because Re Re works there!” he was practically jumping in his seat. It was amazing how all of us were tired and wanted to have a nice chat before bed and he was pretty much jumping off the walls. I let out a little chuckle before looking over to Darren.

“really now? Well maybe we can carpool or something?” I shrugged I didn't see it as a big deal. But until I find out why he was acting this way after the whole thing last month.

“yea uh-”

“no I drive her besides I'm right next door so she wont have to wait on you.” Liam blurt out. I turned my head over to him in complete shock. After everything he said to me... he wants to drive me? He wants to take me to work? When Darren is all than willing to drive me. When Darren actually likes me.

no. I wont let him do this. He will probably ruin my whole day with whatever comes out of his mouth. I don't want nor need him to take me anywhere. In fact I don't ever want to be in the same room as him by choice ever. Again. I glare at him before turning to Darren and smiling sweetly. “i would love to carpool with you.” he quickly looks at me in shock but that fades and turns into his signature goofy smile.

“great. I'll pick you up around 7 yeah?” I nod getting up to let him go. He wraps his arms around my waist giving me a tight squeeze before letting go and saying goodbye to everyone else and leaving. I turn to see everyone staring at me.
