Chapter Nine

Zayn’s POV

It’s been two days now after that one kiss Louis and Niall shared in the uni entrance. Louis and Niall have still been acting close, but not like they did that day… I don’t get it, though… I’m still quite mad for some reason about it, but I feel like I shouldn’t be since Niall and I are basically not friends. We don’t talk, we’re just… roommates; nothing more, nothing less. But, I don’t feel satisfied with just being…roommates. I want to be more than roommates, I want to be friends, and I want to have a roommate who can also be my friend. Don’t get me wrong Harry is a great friend! More than great! But, I just feel like it would be awesome to have Niall as a friend... or at least and acquaintance. That’d be good too…

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist. I grabbed another towel and dried my face and torso up, I then proceeded to brushing my teeth and fixing my hair. I did the usual to my hair; I fixed it up in a quiff with a lot of gel and hairspray. I unlocked the door and opened it and a sleepy Niall was walking towards the bathroom rubbing his eyes.

“Morning Niall,” I smiled at him trying to see if even when he was sleepy I would get lucky.

Niall groaned and finished rubbing his eyes and looked at me. He saw that I was shirtless, which I am mostly every day but sometimes he just gets weirded out when I am. “Oh, um, morning,” he said quietly.

I gaped at him, did he just actually mumble something at me, I didn’t know if I should hug him and spin him for talking to me, I just smiled at him, “Am I forgiven for whatever I did wrong?”

Niall simply shrugged and walked into the bathroom, locking it loudly behind him… I’ll take that as a no.

Third class came too quickly because we were announced to do a partner project and well obviously somehow, I was partnered with Niall. Niall didn’t seem to please with it, but being the somewhat teacher’s pet he is, he accepted it, and walked over to sit beside me.

He sighed heavily and sat next to me, facing me, “I guess I’m your partner…”

I smiled at him, “I guess so…But, you don’t seem to please with it,”

Niall shrugged, “Whatever,”

I looked at him, “Niall what’s up, why have you been acting all weird and snappy to me?”

Niall shrugged and looked down at his paper taking the pencil and writing.

I turned him by the shoulders to force him to face me, “Niall, tell me!”

Niall shrugged my shoulders off and burned me with his glare, “It’s nothing okay?! Don’t worry about it, now let’s start, or we can just start in the dorm…” He hissed his eyes showing rage, but his eyes were unfocussed.

I got quite scared by the look his eyes had. I looked at him surprised. Before I got a chance to ask him what was wrong, the class was dismissed and Niall scurried away with his books.

The whole day I was taken aback with how Niall said that everything was fine, but I knew he was lying every time he lies, his eyes are unfocused. I sighed and opened the door to the dorm room and saw Niall laying there staring at the ceiling.

“Hi, Niall,” I closed the door and dropped my book in the desk and walked to my bed.

He just looked at me and gave me a nod.

I sat on the edge of my bed and put my elbows on my knees and my chin in my hands facing the Irish blonde staring up at the ceiling worriedly.

“Niall’s what’s up, you can talk to me, please,” I egged on.

Niall just shrugged and kept staring at the ceiling quietly.

“Niall, please,” I got up and looked at him.

Niall sat up on the edge and looked up at me, “You really wanna know what’s wrong, mate?” He said bitterly in a scary friendly tone, with a scary bitter smile on his face.

I bit the inside of my bottom lip nervously and looked at him feeling vulnerable, he looked kind of scary. I sucked up the silly nerves and nodded, clearing my throat, “Y-yes. Yes, Niall, I want to know what’s wrong, I really want to know what’s wrong.”

Niall got up from the bed and looked at me walking towards me; I walked backwards staring into his blue eyes which were full of built up rage. Niall kept on walking towards me until my back hit the wall softly since he was walking slowly towards me.

“T-tell me,” I mumbled feeling weak at my knees.

“I’ll tell you, Zayn,” Niall’s voice said inching his face closer to mine by the word.

Niall looked me eye to eye and observed every inch of my face, “What’s wrong is what you said that day…Let me remember how it went. Oh, wait,” He waved his hand, and looked at me sourly, “I don’t have to remember how it went, because it’s been echoing in the back of my mind every goddamn day. It went something like, ‘It was just a dare, it meant nothing,’ do you know what I’m referring to Zayn?” He pulled impossibly closer to me so our chests were together rising and falling in harmony.

I looked into Niall’s fierce blue eyes. Yes, I knew, it was the kiss, the dare. I lied though, it meant something to me, and it meant more than any of my kisses I’ve shared with Nina. But I lied, I lied because I was scared, I was scared about those feelings. I didn’t know what they were, I didn’t know what they meant, and I was scared. I didn’t trust my voice, so I simply nodded looking down sheepishly. No one has ever made me feel so vulnerable in my life and it felt awful. It felt like I didn’t have any power. It felt like this younger lad had more power than me.

“So are you saying,” Niall’s face turned slowly so his lips were insanely close to mine and I could feel his breath on my lips, “that this meant nothing to you,” he mumbled against my lips and then started to kiss me softly.

The soft and passionate kiss soon turned into what Niall’s rage was full of, it was full of lust. He was hungry, just like me, hungry for another kiss that sparked fireworks where ever the others lips went. Niall’s hands went to the wall pinning me there as if afraid I’ll run away. But, of course I won’t, I loved his kiss. I was hungry for his touch. It was weird, but all this sacredness and weirdness about what I was feeling was long lost when Niall kissed me. His lips wrapped around my lower lip and then his teeth pulled on it tugging on it slightly, I moaned and granted him an entrance so he wouldn’t tease me. But, he kept on teasing me by not entering and just simply kissing me. Fucking tease. I put my hands on either side of his waist pulling him closer to me, but it was practically impossible since he was basically on me. I begged him for an entrance a couple of times until I had enough of it and forced my way in his mouth. My tongue started dancing around with his and then the door boomed open.

Then in came Nina and a short purple dress with her leather jacket she looked for me and found me snogging Niall, “What the hell is this Zayn?!” Her voice screeched.
