Chapter 19

Today was the day Greg calls Niall and invites him out to dinner at some bar/fancy restaurant. Niall obviously agrees, but not because he's thrilled to see his brother or anything. The dinner was simply so Niall could scream his brains out at Greg.

He was making a cheese sandwich for Harry when he told the boy about it.

"So I'm going to see Greg tonight..." Niall picks up a knife to cut the completed sandwich. Harry stiffens and looks paler as he watches Niall from a chair.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure our hatred towards him is fully presented." Niall slices the bread violently, cutting the fluffy bread diagonally.

"'Kay," Harry answered quietly, pulling his knees to his chest before sipping at his milk.

Niall agrees to meet Greg there, at the restaurant. It seems like it is the smarter choice (for safety reasons, he didn't want Greg going crazy and smashing the car into a tree or something while they drive there). So Liam drives Niall.

Liam is sort of sceptical when Niall says he meeting with Greg again. Liam gives him that look. The one that tells him, this is going to bite you in the ass someday. Niall just chooses to ignore Liam's judgemental eyes.

"This doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do, Niall..." Liam has a worried tone to his voice.

"It's none of your business, Liam," Niall retorts, mumbling lowly.

"Fine."

Niall sits at a table and starts eating the complimentary bread sticks placed on the table. The restaurant is nice but Niall has been to better. Niall looks at his watch and noticed he's gotten there a bit early, so he make a meal of the bread sticks a waits.

Greg actually gets there not too late. Only two or three minutes after he said he would be there. Which is most definitely surprising. The Greg he used to know was more commonly late then he was on time.

"Hey, man! How've you been?" Greg greets. Spreading his arms to Niall.

Niall stands carefully to hug his brother.

"Alright I guess, still building back my muscle and coordination." he pats the side of his thigh and sits back down roughly. Niall tried to make Greg feel guilty with that, but the older man just smiles and says, "well that's good. Progress right?"

Niall just smiles, but he's already angry inside. He has to play it cool for as long as he can because he wants to get as much out of this (food wise) as he can before he makes his point and storms out.

"So, how are... uh, you and your partner..." Greg asks. Niall nods his head.

"Good, good." he adds, "Harry's watching the pub for me tonight."

Greg's eyebrows pull inward. "you trust him with that?" Greg asks, astonished.

That just sends more rage to the pit of Niall's stomach. But he tries to stay positive.

"Of course, we have been together for a while now, I'm pretty sure I trust him, Greg."

It's like Greg catches himself and brings back the smile he was wearing before.

"Right, it's good to trust your boyfriend with something so big and important," Greg chants.

Niall doesn't like how fake Greg is acting. He can tell his brother is comfortable with saying 'boyfriend' yet. Although, if Niall thinks back, Greg was fine with saying it back when they talked right before Greg was about to do his community service. Maybe back then was just a very good acting day for Greg.
