"Could you pass me the sugar, please?" He says smiling at me with a sleepy morning face even though it's almost noon already.

I give it to him and see how he pours four full teaspoons of sugar on his coffee.

"You know...that amount of sugar everyday could kill you" I chuckle to myself seeing how much of a sweet tooth he has and how I hadn't notice until now.

"Well...if I got to die one day...I preffer to die covered in sugar, baby" He says raising his arms, streching his body, his voice following his movement, getting raspier by the end of the sentence.

"You better not die on me, idiot" Laura says kissing Niall on the cheek. 

Having Niall at our flat still seems sureal to me. He started coming here regularly to play board games after one night when Laura said she ran into him.

 Sure.

And he's been here quite a bit since that day, but he's only been sleeping here every night for a couple of weeks now. Well, I think sleep is the last thing they do. These walls are almost paper material and the flat is pretty small. . . so yeah...haven't had a complete night of sleep in weeks, which helps a lot with my exams. 

Another thing that's been strange these past few weeks has been going for a run. The first time I did it after the pool night, I was nervous, I even wore a new running outfit, just in case. Yep, that's my desperate level, kids. For a moment I thought he'd show up behind me to send me into another cardiac arrest or in his car to drive me somewhere. I admit that I had that feeling for a few days, but it soon dissipated, as did our conversations. I admit I look at his Instagram profile more than I should but he rarely posts anything, which is frustrating if you want to stalk someone.

I've been thinking about what my father told me the day we had luch together, about people coming into your life forever and others leaving you. Maybe he just came to teach me a lesson, even though I'm still figuring out which. Maybe the way he treated me, with much respect and consent was his lesson to me, to treat myself that way, with kindness.

The way we said goodbye wasn't appropiate either, I think. The situation has been running through my mind since that night. How I closed the door and how I could have just said the truth, I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't even mind that I hang up with another boy. Why would he? And why would I care if he cared? Why am I giving his feelings towards my life so much importance?  The thing that makes me have a weird sensation is how much I'm thinking about it and about him. Us feels weird. Everything with him does. Not in a bad way but, like...I feel is not real, like it shouldn't happen Not with  me at least. I'm just no one and he's who he is. 

Ya feel me?

Either way, back to Nialler, I'm glad he stopped by. It's been a while since Laura was so calm and happy. I don't know what the state of their relationship is but it seems pretty official and it makes me very happy to see them together. They stick like water and oil though, meaning they fight almost every day for stupid things, Laura being her dramatic self throws something at him with anger and he complains and screams at her not even knowing why they were fighting in the first place. It usually ends up with Laura's bedroom door locking and hard knocks on the headboard after a few minutes.
