"What the hell are you doing back here?" Was the first thing Leah asked the second I stepped back into the cafe.

"Would you relax? I followed him back to campus. He's safe." I say, rolling my eyes.

She nods. "That's good." Leah says as I make my way back behind the counter.

"Made me seem like some sort of stalker." I mutter under my breath. She snorts out a laugh, draping a cloth over the rack.

"Aren't you already one? With you constantly staring at him and all." She smirks smugly. I roll my eyes, leaning my bum against the counter, folding my arms across my chest.

"You don't know what you're talking about." I say defiantly, but deep down, I know she's right.

But right now, I can't be bothered to keep up with Leah's 'accusations'. Because all I can think about is how Niall and that horny bastard could possibly know each other. According to Niall, they're not exes. Maybe they just hooked up before. Gross. That thought alone is enough to make something churn within my gut. In disgust.

"You have your thinking face on." Leah voices. "Are you thinking of Niall?" She wiggles her brows. I roll my eyes at how immature she's being.

"I'm not." I say. An obvious lie.

"You fancy him, don't you?" She asks anyway, causing my eyes to shoot open, and for oxygen to get caught in my throat.

"You did not just ask that, Leah. You're kidding right?" I quirk an eyebrow.

"I'm not. You have no reason to be so... protective of him."

"Ed-"

"That's Ed's reason. It's not yours." She counters. My lips part to argue, but of course, my mind and my lips refuse to let me speak.

Leah smirks smugly at me. "So you do fancy him." She states more than asks, before releasing a light chuckle.

"No I don't. He's just a... an acquaintance." I say, glowering at her slightly. "Besides, I don't fancy guys. I'm straight."

Lies. My subconscious screams, but I ignore it.

Leah scoffs, rolling her eyes. "So are spaghettis. Until they get hot and wet." The smirk on her lips widens. I roll my eyes.

"That applies more to you, Leah. Guys don't get wet. We just get hard." I wink playfully. She scrunches her face up slightly in disgust.

"And this is why, I'm not into dicks."

"Me neither." I shrug casually. Another lie.

"With the exception of Niall's." She says, smugly. My movements freeze, and I gape at her, not believing that that really just came out of her mouth.

"Don't be absurd, Leah." I scoff. "And are you forgetting the fact that Niall is my brother's omega? That's just... wrong and weird, no matter how much Ed pisses me off sometimes."

"I know Niall is Ed's omega. Then why exactly are you the one doing his job?" She questions back. "And don't say because Ed asked you to, you have absolutely no obligation to help him, brother or not."

"That's what I told him actually." I accidentally blurt out before I could even stop myself. She raises an eyebrow in amusement.
