Paid Love - Niall Horan Fan Fiction

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Only a few minutes had passed and Camille started to walk away whereas Niall began walking towards the cafe. Xavier picked up his backpack and said goodbye before leaving to chase after Camille. As he exited, Niall walked in shortly after.

"Hey." Niall said. I couldn't figure out any emotion behind his voice. I only hoped it wasn't anger or hurt.

"Hey." I replied with a small smile. He smiled back and nothing much was said for a few minutes. After a long silence, Niall spoke up.

"So, what was that exchange between you and that guy what was his name? Tom? Daniel? Cavier?" Niall said scratching the back of his head.

"Xavier, why?" I asked curiously. He doesn't have anything to worry about. I told him that Xavier meant nothing to me. He was simply just a friend. Sure, I may or may not still like him but I won't get between Xavier and Camille.

"Camille. She seemed hurt. I was on my way to get a coffee and I saw Camille standing there across the street. She was frozen almost. I asked her if she was okay and she didn't say anything for a few minutes. After a minute or so, she said that you and Xavier were sitting over there talking. She said that you were probably trying to convince him to not go on a date with her since you apparently used to like him. Than she saw yall hug and she took it the wrong way. She knew you guys saw by how you both turned around shocked which made it seem even more like yall were doing something. Than she said she had to go." Niall said, hands in his pockets. I wish Camille hadn't left. I would need to explain everything later.

"Oh, but you believe we weren't doing anything wrong right?" I asked hopeful. Niall stayed quite for a moment than broke into a grin.

"Of course not. You told me that he was just a friend and that I have nothing to worry about so I believe you." Niall said understandingly. Thank god for Niall being so understanding. Of course I am kind of lying. I still like Xavier just a tiny bit, but I won't let that get in the way of my "job" and Xavier and Camille's relationship.

"Yeah, you have nothing to worry about." I said reassuring him but mostly me.

"Well, I have to get going. The guys are waiting for me over at the studio. I just came to get a coffee."

"Oh okay, I guess I'll see you than." We said our goodbyes and just as I walked out the coffee shop I received a text message.

From: Bestfriend Becky!
Management needs to talk to you about your weekly meetings.

Great. Yes management is making me do these weekly meetings where I have to tell them hows it going with Niall and what I may or may not need to improve on. Last week management had talked to me about how I need to make the first move on almost everything. I decided to just go tomorrow since Niall was going to be at the studio which is where we have our meetings.

Camille's P.O.V

"I'll see you later." I said to one of my good friends, Lauren. I decided to text Xavier and than I began walking home. I don't ride the bus because I don't like the whole "I was here first so this is my seat" situations. I don't have a car yet because I'm saving up for one. In fact, I work at JoJo's Cafe but only on weekends. Today was Tuesday so I didn't really have anything planned. I was gonna stop by JoJo's to talk to my manger, Jenny. I needed a raise or maybe a few more work days. I really needed a car. I walked past a few shops and noticed that some were pretty old. Like "Ben's Barbershop" was built in 1876 and still it remains standing. Its run by John Miller who's the grandson of Ben Miller. I remember coming to that place every time my dad needed a haircut, but now he has another family so I rarely go there now. Course I see him around with his new wife and kids. It doesn't bother me as much as it would back than. You see when my dad left my mom got pretty upset and started drinking. After a while she got sick of cancer so I was sent to live with my aunt who also lived here in California. I didn't even know my dad was here. Shortly after I met Skylar and when she told me what happened to her parents we instantly became best friends. I know it wasn't because we had much in common maybe because we were parentless? I snapped out of my thoughts when I looked through the window of JoJo's Cafe and saw Skylar and Xavier talking. At first I thought it was probably nothing but a friendly conversation,but than I realized that maybe just maybe Skylar was convincing him to not go on a date with me. She still has feelings for him that I knew. When I told her about Xavier asking me out I could see jealousy in her eyes. Not long after I heard a voice call my name.
