Another Love

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Niall sat on his sofa, eating a bowl of cereal, waiting for his sister to be finished getting ready for work. Niall and his sister, Peyton, worked together at the local Testco, stocking the shelves for medium wage. It wasn't the job Niall or Peyton wanted, but they needed the money to buy groceries and pay rent for the flat the two shared. Niall and Peyton had moved out of their parents house shortly after Niall turned 21. He and Peyton had wanted to move out so why not do it together?

Niall took the last bite of his cereal before standing up and carrying his bowl over to the sink, chewing the cereal and then swallowing it.

Niall looked at his watch and sighed, they were going to be late again if Peyton wouldn't hurry up. He grabbed his phone off the charger, unplugging it and then putting the charger down. He then walked up the four steps and turned down the hallway in search of Peyton. At the end of the hallway, he found her sitting on her neatly made bed with her phone in hand, probably texting her boyfriend, Niall thought to himself.

He walked forward and sat down on the bed next to his sister, who was smiling widely, revealing her perfectly white teeth. That's something Niall never understood, how Peyton always had had perfect teeth while he had to have braces and get his teeth bleached to be as white as hers.

"You're making us late you know." Niall said, making Peyton look up and roll her eyes.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Peyton said putting her phone down to walk over to the mirror and check her appearance. Niall smiled at his sister, grabbing her phone and handing it to her as they both left Peyton's room and retreated down the small steps into the living room. Niall grabbed his car keys and wallet, making sure Peyton was following behind him before opening the door and stepping out into the third floor hallway.

As Peyton followed behind her older brother, her phone in a death grip in her right hand, she closed the black door and walked the short distance to Niall as she climbed down the stairs. As they both reached the parking lot, Niall unlocked his car, that was parked right next Peyton's, and climbed into the driver's side as Peyton climbed into the passenger seat.

Niall turned his head to the left to look out the back window, making sure he didn't hit anything. He began driving down the road to their work place as Peyton tapped excitedly on her phone.

"Are you ever going to get off of that thing? It's driving me insane." Niall said, looking over at Peyton in time to see her roll her eyes.

"Liam wants us to come over tonight. Now you can finally meet his roommate!" Peyton replied.

Niall sighed, "What is so special about your boyfriend's roommate?"

Peyton gasped, "Just the fact that he is incredibly hot and, not to mention, gay!"

Niall sighed again, looking straight ahead at the road in front of him. This always irritates him, how Peyton tried to set him up. Of course he realizes that she's just trying to help, it just gets in his nerves. He'll find somebody when he wants to.

"And?" Niall asked, turning down the familiar street, signifying they were almost to Testco.

"And? What do you mean 'And?' You guys could hook up or something!" Peyton explains, smiling widely.

Niall groans, "Peyton, just because I'm gay doesn't mean every gay guy is going to want to date me. That's not how it works."

"I realize that Ni. Just think about it because Zayn is a really nice guy and he would treat you good." Peyton says, obviously affected by the way Niall is acting towards her.

Niall takes in a deep breath that he doesn't realize he's been holding. He slowly nods. Peyton looks at him surprised but shouts a 'yes!' as she thrusts her closed fist into the air, smiling widely. Niall chuckles at his sister's childish ways and opens his door and getting out before closing the door and walking into Testco as Peyton follows behind him.
