As soon as Niall came and took the seat beside me, mum and Maura laid out the dinner and even I was astonished on how they can cook something that looks and smells so good in a span of minutes.
"Eat up!" my mum clapped, obviously happy that we're complete.
Meanwhile, Niall did exactly what mum said and grabbed a piece of every dish and gently put it on his plate.
"You pig" Greg said, rolling his eyes but his face is full of fondness for Niall.
"So Niall" my mum said and I already have a feeling about what she's gonna ask him. "You're gay right?" knew it.
"Yep" Niall said before stuffing a handful in his mouth.
"You're okay with that?" my mum asked Maura.
"Ever since my husband, you know, left. I've always asked my kids to be honest to me and you have no idea how happy I was when Niall told me he was gay" Maura said, smiling fondly at her son.
Some lucky bunch, if I told my mum I was gay she would have cut off my head without another word.
"You got any boyfriends Niall?" mum asked and I saw Niall flinch for a while.
"Nah" he said.
"Any special boy at all?" I wanted to cover my face and tell my mum to shut up! I can sense Niall getting fidgety and awkward.
"Nope, although there's this one boy who satisfies my needs and another who makes me feel loved. They're my best friends and as long as I have them I don't think I'll be worrying about getting a boyfriend" Niall said.
I can see everyone else's confused faces when Niall said "satisfies my needs" and I couldn't help but wonder as well by what he means by that.
"How about you Harry? Any boyfriends or girlfriends?" Maura asked.
"Yeah, I have a girlfriend" I said, forgetting on purpose to tell them I'm straight.
"And she's a total; bitch" Gemma piped up.
"Gemma!" my mum said, shooting her daggers and ushered my dad to scold her, who in return just shrugged and went on eating.
"It's fine. We're Irish, we've heard words worse than that" Greg said, brushing it off.
"Well she can be a-- yeah, but she can be sweet as well" I said, shrugging and getting flustered as I felt Niall's eyes on me.
"How long have you been together?" Maura asked.
"Almost a year" I shrugged yet at the same time I can't believe I was able to put up with Caroline for so long.
"How about you, Gemma?"Maura asked.
"Single" Gemma answered dully.
"As well as Greg!" Maura said and I saw the way my mum's face lit up. I think she has a plan.
"Too lazy to look for a girl" Greg said, shrugging.
I just resumed eating and watching Niall at the corner of my eyes at the same time. I couldn't help but chuckle mentally as some sauce found its way to Niall's cheek.
I waited for Greg to wipe it off or for Maura to chastise him for it. But nothing. They were all busy drowning themselves in the delicious delicacies.
I have to take matter into my own hands.
"Hey Niall" I said.
"Hmmm?" he said as he turned around and I used the back of my hand to wipe his cheek.
"Much better" I said but I didn't miss the way his cheeks flushed.
"Thanks" he said with his mouth full of food and continued eating.
"That was some good stuff" Niall burst out. "Thanks mum and Mrs. Styles!"
"Call me Anne" mum said.
"Okay, thanks Anne!" Niall said loudly.
"I'm sorry about him, he just get loud after he's very full. And that rarely happens" Greg apologized.
"It's nice to see a growing boy happy and full" dad said, finding Niall adorable as well.
"I'm off to sleep now!" Niall said and started climbing up the stairs.
"Thanks for the food" I said, loud enough for everyone to hear and walked up the stairs after Niall.
I was about to open the door when I heard Niall talking to someone.
"Hey Z, Hey Li. I missed you both" Niall said. He was probably on Skype.
"Hey babe" a boy said and I froze. Babe? I thought he didn't have any boyfriends? But then I remember him talking about his two best friends. Maybe they were THAT close.
"Hey Niall" another one said, his voice much deeper than the first boy.
"How's France?"
"It’s great so far. But I miss you both so badly"
"We miss you too Niall" the deeper one said.
"Have you found some guy to fuck there besides me?" the first one piped up. To fuck? Niall never struck me as someone who liked fucking around.
"I just got here an hour ago Zayn" Niall chuckled. "But there is this guy...." Niall continued.
"What about him?" the deeper one whom I assume is named Liam.
"He's the son of mum's friend and he's flaming hot" Niall said, putting emphasis on the word 'hot'.
"What's the catch?" Zayn, I think, asked.
"He's straight. Got a girlfriend. Heard she's a total bitch though" Niall said.
"You're Niall Horan for fuck's sake! You can get any boy you want! Hell you even almost got Liam once" Zayn said and he and Niall both started laughing.
"I'd rather not remember that please" Liam said, clear shame in his voice.
"But there's something about him that different. When I see most guys, I just want to fuck then forget them, but for some weird reason, this Harry kid wants me to do more than just that"
"Maybe its love Ni" Liam said.
"Love? You're joking me Liam. I don't do love" Niall said "it's much too complicated"
"It won't be unless you try" Liam said.
"Maybe you lust for him" Zayn said "you want to fuck him over and over again. Like with me or something"
"Is it necessary to remind me that you two are fuck buddies?" Liam said.
"Sorry Lu" Niall chuckled and then yawned.
"Go to sleep Niall, we'll talk to you in the morning" Zayn said.
"Alright. Night Zayn, night Liam. Love you both. Bye" Niall said and I took a deep breath and decided to burst in.
"Hey Haz, did you enjoy eaves dropping?" Niall asked, raising an eyebrow.
"n-no" I blushed. Damn I've been caught. "How'd you know?"
"The floorboards here aren't exactly the quietest floorboards in the world" Niall said, rolling his eyes.
"s-sorry" I said.
"It's fine" Niall said, taking off his shirt and pants, leaving him in nothing but his boxers. I stared in awe as I examined his body. It was lean and had enough muscle. It was also pale but a couple of bruises here and there.
"Like what you see?" he smirked.
"n-no" I said, looking away. "Where you get those bruises?" I asked, wondering if anyone beats him up.
"You want to find out?" Niall asked and I just stood transfixed on my spot as he started walking towards me.
"N-never mind" I said, walking backwards until I hit the wall.
"Too late" Niall said as he placed both his arms at my sides, trapping me between the wall and him. He leaned forward and bit on my neck, causing me to whimper. He bit on it even harder and gave it kisses when he pulled away.
"Night Harry" he winked and walked back to his bed, closing the lights and wrapping himself with his duvet.
What the hell just happened?
