Purity Ring // n.h. au

six.

As soon as Niall opened the door to the car, I jumped out and ran up the front steps to my house. I fumbled with the keys, my hands incessantly shaking. I was aware of Niall's gaze on me and that only made me want to hurry more. "Finn, dear God. Let me help you," Niall began to approach me and I froze.

"No. Get the fuck away I can do it!" I screamed which made Niall stop in his tracks. His features looked hurt for a minute but then turned into a neutral expression. I finally successfully jammed my keys into the door and quickly stepped inside, slamming the door behind me. I sighed as I locked the door and slid down the smooth surface, my heavy breathing filling the empty living room.

Fuzz jumped down from his seat on the stairs walked over to me, rubbing his face over my jeans. I gently picked him up and set him in my lap, stroking his soft fur. "Today was shit Fuzz. I'm sure your day was good, considering all you do all day is eat, sleep, and shit."

Fuzz meowed at me and jumped off my lap like he somehow understood my words and felt offended, "Hey buddy. I'm sorry come back." I whined but Fuzz continued to walked away from me, almost taunting me with a 'fuck you!' in cat language. I sighed and ran a hand down my face, I was eternally fucked. I jumped up from my sitting position and ran to my bathroom upstairs, examining my neck.

"Shit," I cursed as I looked at the flesh on my neck. Three hickeys were a purple colour, three. I blushed at the thought of Niall hovering over me and I turned away from the mirror. I needed a shower, so I stripped and got under the icy stream, hissing when the water hit my skin. I scrubbed all over my body till my skin burned and my mind was still reeling from the previous encounter with the blonde.

I felt guilty and I just wanted to take it back, but somewhere in the back of my mind I was sort of happy it happened. I pushed my annoying thoughts away and finished up my shower, wrapping myself in a towel and venturing to my room. I slipped into the room and closed the door. "Oh my God!" I screamed as I saw a person sitting on my bed. It was none other than the idiot who made me want to bathe in holy water. "What the fuck are you doing here? Get the fuck out!"

Niall didn't respond but only stared at me, making me extremely uncomfortable. I wrapped the towel closer to my body feeling way too exposed. Niall ignored my demands and instead replied, "You should really lock your window you know. Anyone could get in and that isn't the safest."

I scoffed at his answer and rolled my eyes. "My window was locked. I'm sure you just picked it." I side stepped to my closet and opened it, trying to squeeze my body inside it but I wouldn't fit.

"You're actually right," Niall slowly walked to my door and turned the lock, "Wouldn't want anyone coming in." he winked and I swallowed feeling everything in my throat dry up.

"If you're not gonna let me go change in the bathroom can you at least have some respect and turn the fuck around?" I huffed becoming more irritated by the second. Niall smirked and looked me up and down, causing me to avert my gaze awkwardly.

"What's the magic word?"

I sighed, "Please." I stated more sarcastic than ever, but it seemed to work as Niall turned around. "If you even think about turning around I swear I will kill you." I threatened as I quickly grabbed underwear and a bra (this time). I slipped them on in record time and grabbed sweatpants and a shirt, throwing them on my body just in time as Niall turned around.

He frowned and stared at me, "You're all clothed now, damn. By the way did you listen to the song I told you about?"

"No I did not, now get the fuck out of my room," I argued as I unlocked my door and Fuzz strutted in. He immediately hissed when he spotted Niall. "Don't worry Fuzz I hate him too."
