I'm a Payne // n.h.

Chapter 4

It was about 12:30 when Niall and I arrived back at the house from my interview. I was told that I would hear if I got the job around 10 tomorrow morning. When we walked into the door, everyone was still crashed on the couch, surprisingly. Niall and I exchanged a glance and smiled evily. He picked up his guitar. 

"3, 2, 1," We started quietly. "It's time to get up, get up, get up, it's a new day!" We screamed at the top of our lungs. They all groaned in annoyance.

"Why did you have to wake us up so early?" Harry mumbled throwing a pillow at me. I walked over and sat on his lap.

"It's noon. Get up, let's go do something. I want to see London!" I whined in his and Louie's ears. 

"Jesus Lyss, at least let us get ready. And since you woke us up so rudely, I opt you for making us breakfast." Zayn grumbled. I smirked.

"Happily. Now hurry! GO!" I shooed them away as they walked upstairs to their rooms. "So what do they like to eat?" 

"We'll eat anything and everything." Niall admitted messing his hair up. I waltzed over to the fridge grabbing some eggs, bacon, and the pancake mix.

"You start making toast." I handed Niall the loaf of Wonder Bread. He pulled out a special toaster with an One Direction logo on it. I raised my eyebrows. "Really, a toaster with your logo on it?" 

"Hey! Hey! Hey! This was a gift, it even puts that logo on the toast!" The bread popped up, and he grabbed it out and showed me. "See? Pretty cool right?"

"As cool as any piece of toast can get." I laughed. The bacon sizzled in the pan as I put it on it, and a stack of pancakes were done on a plate next to me.

"Ow! I burned myself on the toaster." Niall yelled from across the kitchen.

"Really? You burn yourself on a toaster?" I questioned back, holding back a laugh. He stuck is bottom lip out and widend his eyes. They were a piercing blue and you couldn't help but get lost in them.

"Hey it happens! Kiss it and make it better?" He questioned. I smirked and kissed his hand. "All better. I'm going to go in the bathroom and put some cream on it, be right back. Watch the toast for me." 

Right as he walked off, his iPhone buzzed with a text. I didn't want to snoop but I couldn't help myself, my hand wandered over to his phone and I picked it up.

From: Jessica 

i miss u babe :( come over soon and we can have some fun ;) hmu

I set down the phone and felt defeated. Of course he had a girlfriend, I mean he's Niall fricking Horan, pop star. He could have any girl in the world that he wanted. Why would he want 'Liam's sister.' I mentally slapped myself for developing deeper feelings for him. Footsteps echoed from the hallway and I quickly put his phone down, minding my business. I flipped the bacon, flipped the pancakes and started making scrambled eggs, silent the whole time. I heard Niall's phone being unlocked and him tapping on the keyboard, the message sending and him putting his phone on the counter. Once again, I wanted to up in my room and cry for ever thinking about having feelings for him, even if I saw him again for the first time in a year yesterday. His phone buzzed again, and I so badly wanted to see what this Jessica person said to him, or what he said back to her that message. Niall groaned.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously seeing if he'd tell me about this Jessica person.

"Oh nothing, it's my ex." He emphasized the 'ex.' I couldn't help but want to smile.

"Total bitch?" I asked. He laughed.

"Exactly. She's so aggrivated. I dated her before I was famous, and the fame got to her head instead of mine, and she keeps contacting me, she just doesn't get it." Niall sounded incredibly aggrivated. An idea popped in my head.

"Does she have an iPhone?" I asked.

"Um, I think so. Why?" He sounded confused.

"Let me finish this food, ask her to facetime. Follow my lead." I smiled mischeviously.

A couple minutes later I was sitting in Niall's lap, trying to FaceTime this Jessica person. It connected and a screen of an orange girl with way to much makeup on started cooing at Niall, until she saw me.

"You dated that?" I asked laughing at him. 

"We all make mistakes." Niall laughed back.

"Who's this bitch?" Jessica whined.

"His girlfriend." I spat back, shutting her up. My head rested on Niall's shoulder to make it seem obvious. I saw Niall smile in the little picture of us in the bottom of the screen. It felt good to have Niall's arms wrapped around me, sitting on his lap. But, we were just friends in reality, nothing more than that.

"Really? Her?" She had a high-pitched voice that would make anyone want to rip their hair out. "You're missing out on this."

"Shut up, contact my boyfriend again, I will come to you and mess you the fuck up." I threatned. She laughed, sounding like a witch on the movies.

"Hahahahaha, okaaaaay. Aren't you Liam's sister?" She cackled.

"Does it matter no, okay bitch go away, bye." I pushed the end button on the screen. "And that's how you get girls to go away."

"That was good. I have to admit, I would have never thought of that." NIall admitted messing up his perfect blonde hair. I got up off of Niall to see the boys leaning over the balconies, staring at us opened mouth. Liam looked like he was about ready to kill us.

"Oh shit no, we're not going out, it was to get Niall's ex out of his hair." I admitted, Liam's face softend.

"Oh, you had me worried for a sec there Lyss." He breathed. I ran a hand through my hair, wishing it was he really was my boyfriend. But that would never happen, so I just needed to shake the imagines from my head. 

"Breakfast is ready though." The boys raced down the stairs and dug in, leaving just barely a serving for me to eat. I sat down and began to dig into my plate. "So what are we going to do today?" 

"We were planning to take you around the London Eye, maybe to a carnival later?" Liam spoke through a mouth full of food. 

"Sounds good, I can't wait." I smiled and thought of possibly the things that we would do.
