You're My Brother?

Chapter 9

"Coming," I yelled as the door bell rang for the second time. I rolled off my bed, avoiding all the junk on my floor then ran down the stairs. I opened it to reveal a familiar head of blond hair.

"What happened now?" he asked holding up a tub of ice cream making me laugh.

"My favorite how thoughtful," I said leaving him at the door and heading into the kitchen to grab two spoons. 

"Yes, I believe you've mentioned that a few times," he laughed as he closed the door behind him. 

It has now been a little under a month since we ran into each other and we have talked almost everyday in that time span. Mainly because we had our first date a week after we met. Well it didn't start out as a date, we just went out as friends for food and to watch a movie and then it sort of turned into a date...when we kissed. Yea that was a long story, but we planned on going on a real official first date tonight. Of course Louis had to ruin things while I was planning on having a lovely night with Niall he just had to get in a fight with Mark which I over heard. 

"What is all this?" Niall asked as he leaned into the kitchen to see all the baked goods placed around the kitchen to cool.

"What, I bake a little when I'm upset," I said walking past him.

"A little?" he added with a snort as he followed me I turned and stuck my tongue out at him. 

"I'm sorry about our date," I said as I flopped down on the couch.

"It's okay," he laughed sitting next to me. I crossed my legs so my body was facing him. How can a guy stick around when I'm literally ranting all the time about my stupid drama? "So what happened?" he asked turning so he was facing me as well. 

"Louis is a jackass," I spat out ticked off, my cheeks soon started to feel warm before I looked up at Niall and smiled to which he laughed.

"What did he do now?" he opened the ice cream and placed it in the middle of us and I handed him a spoon.

"I guess Mark called him for some reasons unknown, and Louis just totally blew up at him. He was in his office so I heard the whole thing since my room is right above it. I guess he didn't realize I could hear him because he went off defending my mom and me, which is actually very sweet. But like what right does Louis have mouthing off about us? He's only meet us once, well mom. He's meet me twice, but still," I let out a shaky breath. I picked up the tub of ice cream, taking a big spoon full then set it back down. "And I am really sorry that I ruined our date," I said before taking the whole bite in my mouth, making it extremely full.

"Like I said before it's okay. I kind of like it better this way, we can just stay here and watch movies, eat all those goodies in the kitchen and talk. What else could I ask for?" he asked before he burst out laughing at, I'm assuming, my puffed out cheeks filled with ice cream. He grabbed a napkin off the table and whipped off my chin. I finished my bite with a dramatic swallow.

"Thanks," I laughed rubbing the back of my hand against my chin. 

"Anytime," he smiled at me. 

"So what do you want to do now? I need something to keep my mind off going and punching Louis in the face," I smiled innocently at him.

"Well we can watch a movie? After we go load up a few plates of your baked goodness from the kitchen," he was already standing up and offering out his hands to me. 

"Sounds great," I took them and he pulled me up. 

"Where is Mark and your mom?" he asked walking to the kitchen as I stayed in the living room grabbing the half empty tub of ice cream closing it up before walking to where he was.
