Uptown Boy (Narry Storan)

38. Sociopaths

Suffered from terrible author's block :( so I'm apologising in advance for a pretty meh chapter! And also, so sorry that this is late! I was out travelling for a couple of days and the wifi really sucked :(

And, wtf, the image?????? I can finally die happily just by looking at it even if it's just an edit 🙃

I release a soft sigh, climbing up onto my bed, suddenly feeling very cold without Niall's usual warmth next to me.

Niall left after we had dinner together, saying he didn't want his Nan's house to start gathering dust, or something along those lines, so he's gonna start living back there. After a couple of days of sleeping on the same bed with Niall, and getting to wake up to see his face every morning, and with him suddenly not here, it's a foreign feeling... like, my normal routine suddenly seems out of the ordinary. And he has only been staying with me for what, five days?

I pull the pillow that he uses closer to me, inhaling the very faint scent of his. I stare at my phone that's sitting on the night stand, my fingers simply itching for me to pick it up to call him.

Fuck it.

I reach over to the device, dialling the number I know so well, patiently letting the other end of the receiver ring.

He finally picks up and I can't help but to perk up a little.

"Harry I swear to the heavens, I'm gonna kill you tomorrow. I just managed to fall asleep." He immediately says in a groggy voice. I chuckle sheepishly.

"Sorry baby. I just miss you. It's strange not seeing you next to me." I say with a small pout, even if he can't see me. He sighs softly on the other end.

"Well too bad. Just imagine that I am or something. I don't wish to come over just to be with your clingy arse." He tiredly says, before releasing a soft yawn. I can't help but to chuckle softly in amusement. It's funny how he gets so cranky when he's tired.

"Well, what if I said I love you?" I say with a teasing, yet hopeful tone.

"Thanks. I already know that." I laugh softly once again, shaking my head in amusement.

"Jeez thanks." I mumble.

He breathes out a short laugh and I smirk in accomplishment.

"I'll be seeing you tomorrow, pet. Go to sleep, you've got work in a couple of hours."

"I can work from home." I state and I can simply imagine him rolling his eyes.

"Don't be like fifth melody or harmony or whatever they're called." I snort out a laugh.

"Fine. Bye mum." I say in a sing-song tone. He chuckles softly.

"Shouldn't it be daddy?" He teases and I can't help but to gasp softly at his words, my body heating up slightly. He chuckles at my reaction.

"Didn't make you out as one of those who have a daddy kink, love." He chuckles softly.

"I don't. It's weird." He says huskily. "Now, go to sleep, baby." I sigh in defeat.

"You can't just tease and talk to me about daddy kinks and then get me to sleep, it doesn't work like that." I grumble. He releases another breathy chuckle, and I can just imagine the cheeky, but lazy smirk on his face.
