Treacherous (Niall Horan)

Rocky History

"What are you going to have?" Niall asks when we are seated.

"I don't know. What are you having?"

"I don't know either."

I go through the menu, looking at all the options.

"Hello. I'll be your waiter today." A voice says.

What. The. Fuck. I know that voice.... I look up and see James. He's this guy who confused his love for me after the second time we hung out. He kept pushing me to date him. Like, no.

Please don't recognize me.....

"My name is James. Wait, Cheyenne?" Shit.

"Hi James..." I say.

"It's been so long!"

"Yeah."

"Like, 2 years!"

"Yeah..."

"How are-"

"James! Get back to work!" A man yells from the kitchen.

"I've got to run. What would you like to drink?"

"A diet coke and a Pepsi please." Niall says for the both of us.

"Alright. Be back soon." & he leaves.

I let out a deep sigh. Niall looks at me, concerned.

"Are you alright?" He asks.

"Yeah...."

"You didn't seem like it..."

"Him and I have a rocky history.... It's not good..."

"What happened?"

"Well, he-"

"Here's your drinks." James says as he places out drinks down. "What can I get you two to eat?"

"2 orders of fish and chips please." Niall says. He looks at me. "Is that alright babe?"

"Yeah. That's good." I say.

"Alright." James says and walks off.

"So...." Niall says.

"I'll tell you later..."

"Okay."

We talk about what it'll be like when Niall goes onto tour. I'll most likely go with him for the most of it. Our food arrives and we eat. I can't help but feel James's eyes on me at times. Creep. When we're finished, James gives us the check. We pay for it. As Niall and I are walking out, James sees us.

"It was nice seeing you again Jessie. See you soon." He says.

My heart pings and I take Niall's hand in mine. He senses that I'm tense and wraps his arm around me. We make our way through the crowd of paparazzi and fans to the car.

Once in, Niall speeds away. He takes my hand in his and glances at me.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing..."

"Chey..."

"It's just.... James is weird... When we were actually talking, he was obsessed with me. He confessed his love for me after the second time of hanging out. He pointed out all my flaws. He judged me when I was being myself. He stalked me. He talked shit about me behind my back to my best friend. He even tried to kiss Megan when he was trying to get me to date him! He was just so weird."

"Wow. I'm sorry..."

"It got to the point where I almost put a restraining order on him. I seriously felt like he was going to get me at times. I don't know why, I just did.... So I moved and changed my number... But here he is after 2 years..."

"Don't worry baby. He won't hurt you. Not as long as I'm here."

"Okay."

He gave me a half smile and continued driving home. I'm still a little off about the whole James thing... Once at home, we got out of the car and walked up the front porch steps. Niall stopped me as I was about to walk in.

"Chey. He won't hurt you."

"I don't know.."

"No. I won't allow him too. You're save with me princess. You'll be going on your with me, so you'll be far away from him." He pulls me into a hug. "You're safe with me. He won't hurt you."

He has his ways.....
