Blood and Fangs {Book One} Editing

Chapter 12-Taking up time

“Liam… Liam wake up”. I nudge him gently. He groans before pushing his head under the pillow. And then he starts snoring, urgh he sounds funny. Stupid sleeper. I walk into the bathroom; say hi to Niall who was brushing his fangs in the mirror. I’ve only just realised I can’t see myself in the mirror.

“That’s sort of creepy. How do I know what my hair looks like?”

“A birds nest” Niall laughs. I walk out of the bathroom with a glass full of cold water. “Why do you need water? I need that to wash the toothpaste out” Niall shouts as he puts his head round the toilet.

“Give me a second, keep it down”. I walk back into my bedroom and throw the water over him. He screams in shock and jumps up on full alert with his hands clenched.

“What the hell Rose?” he shouts when he sees me laughing in the corner.

“I don’t know, it just happened” I shrug my shoulders.

“It doesn’t just happen, I was sleeping”. I sprint quickly into the bathroom and grab another cup of water before coming back into the bedroom.

“Don’t you dare throw that water on me you waffle” he says as he backs against the wall with his finger pointing at me.

“Waffle?” I question.

“I didn’t want to swear” he says. “Still don’t chuck that bloody water on me”.

“But you snore and then you nearly killed me by jumping up” I protest.

“I do not snore” he states.

“I think you’ll find you do, you sound like a pig” I say in honesty.

“I do not waffle”.

“Stop calling me waffle, mystery boy” I say, getting him back.

“Whatever waffle” he waves me off so I throw water back onto him. Oh he’s mad now! He jumps off the bed and pushes me against the door. He then puts his lips on mine. Wait, what? I was expecting him to throttle me or kill me. Not this.

“Erm, well Liam we were having a fight and I don’t have a problem with this” I say as I push him away. “However I have something to say” I say. I quickly sprint out my room yet again, grab a glass and come back in the room only to throw water back on Liam. He rubs his face down with one hand before staring at me. His eyes have gone rather dark and I don’t know if that’s just the way he’s looking or if he’s really angry.

“Okay well I see you need some space, so I’ll just go” I say quickly before slipping out the door and slamming the door shut.

“Do you want a game Rose?” Niall asks. I sit down on the couch next to Niall.

“Sure Niall, I’ve been waiting to beat you again” I chuckle.

“Haha, like that will happen again” he says.

“I’m going to go get a drink” Louis says as he stands up.

“Make mine a mango smoothie seeing as you bother to ask”. I hear him mutter something under his breath before saying, “yeah yeah Rosie”.

“It’s going down flower” Niall says. His hands tighten on the remote.

“What is it with you boys and nicknames for me today? First Liam with waffle and now you with flower” I say. It’s getting to me.

“I don’t know. I didn’t mean to offend you” Niall says and looks down. I punch his arm.
