Another Love

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Niall sat at the table in McDonald's, listening to Harry and Louis go on about how they need a vacation from stacking shelves at Testco.

Niall looks behind him and hopes to see his his sister and her boyfriend but, once again, doesn't see them. Niall's looked for them three times already and wonders if something more is happening then Peyton and that blonde boy wiping Coke off herself.

He stands up and backs away from the table, turning the corner in hopes to see Peyton and Liam. His wish is granted when he sees that Peyton is throwing away the dirty napkins with Liam standing at her side, glaring at the bloke, who, in return, looks frightened.

Niall walks up to the three and puts his hand on Liam's shoulder, moving him out of the way since people are trying to get around him. Liam smiles down at Niall but then turns back to the blonde bloke who Niall doesn't know the name of.

"Are you done, Peyton? Your food is getting cold." Niall says, looking around Liam at his sister.

"Yeah." Peyton replies, grabbing a straw and nodding at the blonde boy.

"It was nice talking to you. . . Luke." Liam says, smirking at the boy, apparently named Luke, Niall notes. The boy nods at Liam and Peyton, turning his attention back on his cup that he has to fill up with more Coke.

Niall turns away from the boy and follows Liam and Peyton to their table. Once their all sitting down, Niall chuckles.

"That was hilarious. You scared the piss out of him, mate." Niall says, patting Liam on the back, who chuckles.

"Well, don't go flirting with my girlfriend and we won't have a problem." Liam replies, taking one of Peyton's French fries and sticking it in his mouth and chewing it up.

Peyton giggles and begins eating her hamburger. Harry and Louis look up a bit confused at what they just heard about until Niall explains what happened and how Liam decided to scare a bloke who is sitting a couple tables down with three other boys.

"That's funny, I didn't peg you for a type of guy who would be scary." Harry says to Liam. Before Liam can reply, Louis beats him to it.

"It's his muscles that scare people. They're huge!" Louis says, poking Liam's right bicep as Liam chuckles.

He turns to Niall and starts talking about how he wants him and Peyton to come to his tonight to eat and bond with his roommate, Zayn. Niall sighs but agrees to go tonight to meet Zayn, who Peyton can't seem to quit talking about.

"Niall I'm telling you, he's hot. He's fit and has these gorgeous eyes that literally state into your soul." Peyton says, earning a playful hit on the arm from Liam.

"Peyton, you have a boyfriend for Christ's sake! Stop talking about some other guy you think is attractive when your boyfriend's right here." Niall says, causing Peyton to groan.

"Oh please. Zayn's gay! Oh, and a really good listener to. When me and Li have a fight or disagreement about something Zayn's the first person I talk to about it." Peyton says, earning a look of disbelief from Niall.

"I thought I was the first person you talked to about that stuff!"

Peyton shakes her head, "Nope. It's Zayn."

Harry, Louis, and Liam all look back and forth between Niall an Peyton, knowing how close the two siblings are, they all know that Niall isn't going to take this well.

Niall likes to know stuff that's going on in Peyton's life and hearing that he doesn't know about everything, makes him upset. Niall and Peyton have been close since they were little. They told each other everything.

Before Niall can get more upset about he fact his sister doesn't like to talk to him about fights with her boyfriend or to say anything about it, a voice cuts in.

"What about me?" the voice says, confusion laced in the words.

"Hey Zayn!" Liam says, getting up to hug his roommate.

Niall looks over at Louis and Harry, who's jaws are dropped, before turning around and looking into the golden eyes that belong to none other than Zayn Malik.
