25. Nike

"Niall, what are you wearing?" I ask when I open my door, the smile I had disappearing. "Clothes?" Niall looks down at his lazy outfit, one hand in his pocket and the other resting on the handle of his tank. "Your sweats are Adidas and your hoodie is Nike..." Niall looks at me in a 'so? your point?' way. "You can't Mix! You either wear all Nike or all Adidas. Go change." Niall looks at me with such astonishment and amusement, he scoffs and bulges out his eyes. "Harry! I'm not going to to go change! Its fine, don't be a dick lick." I roll my eyes and huff before I let him in sassily. "I brought you this." Niall offers me a Snickers bar that he pulled out of no where. Turning down my brows, I hesitantly take it from him. "Whats that suppose to mean?" He shrugs and says, "It means whatever you want it to mean." Giving the bar another glance, I slowly grin and tear open the wrapper. "Thank you."


"What are you here for again? I forgot." I ask the blonde. "I'm not here for you, Your Mum and I planned to hang out."


"Really? It must of been a dream from last night."


"Sorry, what was that? I didn't hear you." Niall turns his head to me and away from a picture thats hanging on the wall; a picture of me when I was a baby. "Nothing. Why are YOU TWO going to hang out?" This boggled my mind...What if I wanted to be with Niall? What would I do now? Maybe I could give Liam a call and see if he wants to go eat, or maybe if Louis wants to go the treehouse. He's probably at work but I've not mesmerized his schedule.


"But, but I wanted to hang out with you." I pout, and Niall chuckles as he walks over to me. "I think you'll be fine, you've done it before when we didn't meet. You'll be okay." Niall pats my cheek and smiles at me with such cuteness I wanted to kiss him. "You look so cute." He giggles, still staring at me. My face doesn't change. I still frown and pout my eyes. "Then the candy bar now means that it was a friendly gesture, and nothing more." I cross my arms and Niall laughs again. "Alright, thats fine with me." Running my tongue over my lip and glaring at him, I'm disappointed that didn't offend him. That was my goal. "Fine. I'll go call someone and hang out with them instead." I try to make him feel bad, but it doesn't work. He still smiles and giggles and watches me go up the stairs.


I pass Mum who's just stepped out of her room, and she greets me a good morning. I point my finger at her with a stern look, and she looks at me as if i'm a freak. When I get into my room, the first thing I see is the Blue Candle, and as I stare at it with my mouth gaped open, I turn my body the slightest but and look over my shoulder. Should I? No, not yet.


Plopping down on my bed, I ring Liam first since he's more likely to be free. "Hey, do you want to go out?" I ask when he answers. "Like, On a date?"


"Sure." Liam chuckles before asking where he wants to meet. "Uhhh, Panda Express?"


"Okay, right now?" I say yes and look at my alarm clock for the time. "Should I meet you in about," He pauses. "Fifteen minutes?"


"Yeah, that'll work. See youuuu." I sing. "See you byeeeee." He laughs and copies my voice. I laugh too before I press the end button and then looking at the alarm clock again. Fifteen minutes of nothing until I drive to Panda. What the hell am I gonna do in fifteen minutes?


Attempt to play Mums piano, watch a bit of Criminal Minds, try to solve a Rubix cube, and play with the kitty. I ended up spending twenty five minutes at home instead of fifteen, and was late meeting Liam. He gave me a look but I shot one back and we both dropped it. "Hows your boy?" Liam asks after we both order our food. I press my cup under the Dr. Pepper and watch the soda dispenser shoot fizz into the cup. "My boy?"


"Yeah, Niall, isn't he?"


I smirk. "He's not my boy, but he's doing better. Hows your girl?" Liam smiles fully and says that she's doing great. He tells me that the semester is almost over and that she's coming back for Christmas. I was excited because I like Sophia, but Liam was far more happy than I was. Then I told Liam everything about Niall. His nose bleeds, his near deaths, how I 'saved' him, and the candle. He was specially intrigued about the candle. "When are you going to give it to him? That's a pretty great gift, man." I shrug. "I want it to be unexpected. Its always better that way." I look up when Liam doesn't respond, and furrow my eyebrows when I see he's just sitting there smiling at me with his lips and a glint in his eyes. "What?"


"You like him as much as I like Sophia. And that's a lot."
