"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university.

Niall Horan is tired (and slightly embarrassed) of being the only one in his circle who is still single. The people around him - his family, his friends, his colleagues - are either in love, getting married or starting a family. Although they are content with their lives, at least that's what they tell Niall, they can't seem to mind their own business and stop trying to set him up with someone they know. In their defence, they're just worried about him and want the best for him. If only he could find a way to make them stop... Alexandra Oh has just gotten out of a relationship with the guy she thought was the one and she's not looking to be in another relationship anytime soon. But she has a problem. A few months ago, when she thought things were great between her and her ex that shall not be named, she told her family and friends that she would introduce him to them.

Olivia Allen is a college student who is studying abroad in London. Quickly after moving halfway across the world, her semester's focus shifts from her studies to a certain blonde boy she can't seem to stay away from. This book is a cute, romantic, and mature love story. It's definitely not AU - I tried to stay true to their lives as best as I could imagine. There's some build up, but it eventually gets very very smutty. Best rankings: 🥇 #niallhoran 🥇 #1dsmut 🥇 #niall 🥇 #horan 🥉 #niallsmut #9 #onedirection ... 2021 Update! I wrote this in 2014 & 2015 so in 2021 I polished it up a bit. The plot didn't change but I fixed some grammar and word choice. If you enjoy it, please keep the votes & comments coming! Rereaders, let me know if you notice anything I changed. But I truly hope nothing is noticeable! ... As a shameless advertising push (well not entirely, there's some shame) here are some of the sweetest comments ever on my story. I'm hoping they convince you to read it, especially because I think my writing improves a lot after the first few chapters but I worry that people don't get to where I really hit my stride before quitting on this story. So please stick with it and maybe you will agree with these kind readers: "LAST CHAPTER IM GOING TO CRY😭😭THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FAN FICS IVE EVER READ" "omg I absolutely loved it!!! I literally stayed up until my eyes couldn't stay open any longer reading this book!! You're an incredible writer and have written an amazing story <3" "THIS WAS SO AMAZING OMFG" "This truly is the most beautiful and sweet story I have ever read! You write so realistically! I love your style! I didn't want it to end! Loved every part!" "this would be the fifth time i have read this book love it every time" "❤️ I loved every minute of this story! Seemed almost true! Thanks for sharing your talent! ❤️" "This is the best story I have ever read. Thank you so much."

MAY 2024:‼️ ON HOLD WHILE I EDIT ALL EXISTING CHAPTERS‼️ NEW CHAPTERS COMING Aug "Niall I'm not your fucking girlfriend! You can't just follow me around! Why do you care about who I go on dates with!? It's none of your business!" I was beyond pissed at him and my shouts were only getting louder and louder. His piercing blue eyes that I've grown to love looked at me from across the alley. Hurt was written all over his face before it quickly turned to anger. "For fucks sakes!" He yelled before kicking the dumpster next to him making me jump in my place. He let out a loud sigh and began to slowly walk towards me. "I don't know okay? I don't know why I fucken care about you so much. I just do, and it's fucking scaring me." He was no longer yelling and his face was now only inches away, trapping me between him and the wall. This was not the same Niall I met a month ago. He isn't supposed to care about anyone but himself. He didn't just stick to one girl, and he certainly never showed his feelings towards anyone. "I just do." He whispered softly before cupping my face in his two hands. He looked me in the eyes and then down at my lips; and he slowly started to lean in until I felt his soft warm lips gently press against mine.
