Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen

You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeves

And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground

"So Luke texted me, said he and Mikey want us all over for dinner." I told Niall over the phone, packing up a box in the kitchen.

"Tonight?"

"Well I would assume so."

"I don't think I can get Blake a sitter..."

"We can take him with us." I shrugged, taping the box up and moving to the next one.

"Well your friends aren't exactly... appropriate around children."

"I know, it would just mean a lot if you'd go with me. Maybe Zayn?"

"I thought Zayn was apart of that friend group."

"He's friends with Liam, but that's it."

"I guess he could watch him..." Niall said, his voice sounding defeated. I tried not to do a victory shout... It was silent.

"You sure?"

"Why do you question me every time I agree with you?" I'm sure Niall was smiling... I wanted to see his smile.

"It's not often you do."

"I guess you caught me there."

"I mean how many times have I asked you to marry me? There's a good example."

"I think this week alone at least twenty.... and it's only Monday."

"Damn, I'm slacking. Marry me?"

"No."

"Someday you'll say yes and you'll be Niall Styles."

"I think you should go by Harry Horan personally."

"My initials would be H.E.H which makes me think of hehe."

"Like N.J.S is any better."

"Just marry me already."

"Nope."

"Please."

"No means no."

"But sometimes it means yes."

"You're worse than Blake."

"Except I'm better looking."

"I wouldn't say better looking..."

"You want me to do dirty things to you." I whispered, my voice deeper than usual knowing that'd it make him all flustered.

"Harry!"

"Yes dear?"

"I hate you."

"There's a thin line between love and hate darling."

"And right now I'm more on the hate side than the love side."

"Not my fault you're sexually frustrated."

"Harry...." Niall's voice was set in a tone that just screamed "don't you even think about it."

"If you'd let me put a ring on it... I would totally tap ya."

"Pick up line of the century."

"Only for you."

"I gotta go get Blake up from his nap... I'll talk to you later then?"

"Yeah, I'll swing by the house around 5."

"Alright, I love you."

"I love you too."
