Harry's Pov

"So I'm sorry." I mumbled to Liam who was avoiding eye contact.
"But in reality I'm not sorry." I said earning a laugh from Liam but it wasn't a happy laugh.
"You broke me Liam, you cheated on me more than once, you spent my money and never asked, you did things to me that no one should do to someone that they supposedly love." I said earning a look from Liam.

"Poor you Harry." Liam said his accent very clear. I wonder if Niall's accent came out when he's mad. I really need to stop thinking about him when I'm having serious conversations.

"Don't act like I did something to you Liam." I said rolling my eyes and eating some salad. Liam scoffed and pulled out his phone.
"You wrote a fucking song about our relationship!" He whisper yelled to try to not draw attention to us, but an old lady looked over at us. I laughed and nodded.

"It was my best one yet, and not because it was about you." I said smirking. Liam gave me a look and rolled his eyes. I gazed out into the street and saw what looked to be Niall crossing the street. But then again I have mistaken at least three different guys as Niall in the last hour that I've been here.

"Look I'm never getting back together with you. So stop your bitching and just accept the fact that you broke my heart and not the other way around." I said placing money into my bill and handing Liam his bill.

"And for once pay for your own meal." I said standing up and walking out of the restaurant. I ran into someone at the door and cursed when my phone fell. I picked it up and looked at the guy that I ran into, smirking to myself.
"Zayn." I said shortly. Zayn looked at me and then glared.

"The bitch that took my fiancé." Zayn greeted staring at me and waiting for a reply. I scoffed and played cool.
"We're just friends." I said earning a laugh from Zayn as he pulled up a picture of Niall and I driving the other day.
"Wow. Can't get him to talk to you so you resort to stalking?" I asked, and yeah maybe I was just doing it to piss him off.

"Whatever Styles." Zayn mumbled pocketing his phone. I looked at my phone when it buzzed and I smiled when I saw it was from Niall.
"I have to get going." I said, not letting Zayn reply before I was walking off.

From Niall👑: I'm bored. Ice cream date?

I smiled and turned the corner towards the ice cream shop.

To Niall👑: sure. The place that uses dry ice?

From Niall👑: of course. 🙂

I smiled and grabbed a table and waited for Niall. I saw the paparazzi passing by and taking pictures of Liam and I mentally rolled my eyes. I let out a groan when he came into the ice cream shop and I hid myself while he ordered. He didn't see me apparently and for that I was grateful.

Niall came walking in after being mobbed by the paps and he slid off his snapchat spectacles and sat across from me.
"So, what'd you have for lunch?" I asked Niall who shrugged.
"Just a salad. Wasn't too hungry to be honest. What about you?" Niall replied casually. His accent was my new favorite sound. That and his laugh.

Focus Harry.

Just friends.

"A salad. Had to tie up some loose ends with the ex." I said and maybe I sounded a little bitter. Niall cocked an eyebrow at that and made motions towards where Liam was standing. I nodded and swung my feet like a little kid.
"Yeah. I had to tell him it's over. Not sex." I said causing Niall to laugh. At that Liam looked over in our direction and I could here footsteps so I'm assuming he was approaching us.

"So this is the real reason you left in a hurry?" Liam asked holding his ice cream in his hand. I cringed at that last time I was with Liam and there was ice cream, let's just say it ended up in my hair. I was a cocky son of a bitch.

"Oh please. I left and then he texted me. I left because I didn't want to be seen with you." I said mumbling the last part. Liam rolled his eyes and stuck his hand out to Niall.
"Liam Payne. Harry's ex." He said and Niall looked like he wanted to say something really bitchy and maybe I mouthed the words go ahead. Or maybe I didn't.

"Niall Horan." He said but didn't shake Liam's hand. Liam shrugged it off and Niall opened his mouth again. Here we go.

"Can I ask you something?" Niall asked and maybe that wasn't what I was hoping for.
"Um sure?" Liam replied hesitantly.
"Why can't you keep your dick in your pants?" Was Niall's response.

And maybe, just maybe, I started bursting out laughing. I was on the verge of tears laughing when Liam said something and next thing I know Niall let out a yell and there was Liam's ice cream, in Niall's hair. Dêja Vu much.

"You dick head." Niall said shoving Liam. I mentally broke them up, but I kind of wanted to see this go down.
"Stop stealing my boyfriend!" Liam spoke. Within about twenty seconds there were paps inside getting the thing and I decided that maybe I should break them up. Maybe.

"Ex boyfriend." Niall seethed and I defiantly wanted to see how this would work out. I shoved Liam aside and grabbed Niall's hand as well as his discarded spectacles and phone.

"Harry! Are you and Niall dating?!" One of the paps yelled.
"We're just friends." Niall replied after accepting the towel that the ice cream lady gave him and wiping his hair out as we walked outside to the sidewalk.

"So that was interesting." I mumbled once we were in the clear.
"Haha. Yeah. He's a little bitch." Niall mumbled laughing. And yeah, I defiantly wanted to record that to have as a ringtone for Niall. Was that weird? Nah. It can't be weird though.

I didn't like Niall like that.

We were just good friends.

Nothing more.
