Addison's POV

I'm sorry, what? Did I just hear these guys correctly? Did they just announce that this gorgeous brunette sitting across from me hooked up with Niall more than twice? The girl with more curves than I could ever have and boobs that look perky enough to hit her face if she ran?

Wow I suddenly felt like a downgrade. 

And very uncomfortable. 

"Hell, even I thought it was going to happen." Bradley announced before insincerely apologizing to her boyfriend, Jackson. 

Ethan and Ryan made faces that just read, "I told you so."

"Guys seriously? That's enough." Niall said sternly.

Oh bud, it's a bit too late for that. I already heard too much of this. I'm surprised they didn't tell me her cup size or her favorite position. 

Oh please take me away, I'm so uncomfortable. 

"Addison?" Niall spoke softly to me once the conversation passed and small talk began at the table, "Are you okay?" 

"If by okay you mean totally uncomfortable and ready to leave, then no." I sighed, I don't want to be bitter about this but damn it I am. 

"Are you mad at me?" He asked next. 

"Not really. Just a tad." I shrugged. 

"Can we talk about this later?" 

"Whatever." I shrugged, ready to order my damn food and get the hell out of here. 

The guys and their girlfriends asked me questions in hopes to get to know me I guess but I kept my answer short and blunt.

Bradley even tried to converse with me but it wasn't worth the effort. 

Finally, the horrible day out came to an end. The drunk boys were driven home of to their unis by their sober girlfriends or other friends and I was oh so quick to beat Niall to his car. 

I pulled back on the door handle repeatedly, as if that would help it magically open. 

Niall clicked the unlock button but since I kept pulling on it, it remained lock. 

I began frantically pulling the handle. 

"Addison, Addison, Addison!" Niall all but ran to the side I was on and put a hand on mine, "Calm down, please. You're actually scaring me." 

I took a deep breath, breathing out of my mouth. 

"Sorry..sorry. Can we just go please?" I threw my back onto the door. 

"Not until you talk to me." 

"Niall, please. Not here. My head hurts and I want nothing more than to go back to my dorm." 

I heard the door unlock behind me and I knew I won this much of the argument. 

I quickly entered the car as he walked around and I turned my focus out the window while Niall buckled himself in. 

Unfortunately, luck was not on my side and I got watch Bradley and Jackson walk out of the pub. 

Why couldn't she just be ugly or something? Life would just be easier right now for me. 

"I thought you weren't mad at me." Niall pondered out loud as we finally left the dreaded parking lot. 

"I'm not mad at you." I kept my gaze out the window. 

"Well you're not happy with me." 

"Niall, please." I didn't really want to talk about this right now. 

"Don't "Niall, please" me right now, Addison. You have to tell me what's wrong so I can fix it."

Nope. 

I kept my mouth shut till we reached campus and I could tell it was bothering Niall. 

I tried to speed walk to my room and away from Niall but he ran to catch up in the middle of the field on campus. 

"Addison, fucking talk to me. Stop running from your problems. What is wrong?" He had grabbed my wrist and turned me around to see him face to face. 

"I would've liked a warning that Bradley was a girl. I would've liked to known she was an ex, if she can even be considered one. And I would've loved to known that she was absolutely gorgeous. Compared to her, I'm like a pencil. How do you think I felt seeing this girl with curves and legs for days whom you've hooked up with more than once and whom your friends even thought you two would become something? Well the answer is like crap. Like a total downgrade." A single tear fell from my eye and I didn't even notice till it fell upon my chest. 

"Addison, are you serious? You're jealous of Bradley? You?" Niall asked is if it was the biggest shock in the world. 

"No Niall, I'm her biggest fan." I sassed.

"Stop it. So you think she has bigger hips than you. Okay, so? You think she has bigger boobs than you? Well that's great for her isn't it? I don't care how long or great her legs are. She isn't you and I just don't care. We hooked up twice because she was around when I was horny, to be quiet honest-" 

"Like that's going to make me feel better." I muttered before he sighed loudly. 

"All I know is, she's not you and I don't give two shits about her. We were what you could call "fuck buddies", no feelings involved. You're the only person I've ever felt feelings for. And quiet frankly, it scares the crap out of me. I've never felt the way I do with you, with anyone else. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Bradley but that's truly just how irrelevant she should be to us, Addison. That's the past, mid-beginning of my freshman year here. You've changed me whether I like to admit or not. I don't check girls out anymore, only you. I don't think about hooking up with someone every night, unless it's you. You're a total upgrade, the best of the best.  Addison, I fucking love you."

I stared up at him, shocked all this came out of his mouth. 

This isn't like the movies where the girl attacks the guy in a kiss and the heavens open up, drenching the newly happy couple with rain as they share a passionate kiss. 

"Do you mean it?" I asked, watching as others passed by probably trying to eavesdrop. 

"Of course I do." His bottom lip came out in an almost pout. 

"I still love you." I smiled softly. 

"Good, am I forgiven for my stupid mistakes?" He reached out his hand

"For now anyway." I took his hand and entertained our fingers, "Any other girls you hooked up with unisex names I should know about?" 

"Is it really important at this point?" He asked back, I could tell he was just relieved that I wasn't being a total bitter brat.

"Not at all. I'm sorry I kind of over reacted, it's just frustrating." 

"If I'm forgiven, you're forgiven." He smiled down at me and kissed the top of my head sweetly. 

"Can we get out of the middle of the field now?" I laughed softly and he smirked.

"Yes we may." 

We walked back to my dorm hand in hand just like we should. A couple of Niall's school friends passed us in the hall and Niall didn't release my hand to say his hellos. The little action made me smile to myself.
