Rey's POV
"Okay."
I watched as his lips curled up in a smile and he looked down at me, pleased with himself, somehow surprised.
"Didn't think you'd actually agree.", he spoke and took a few steps back.
I followed him into the living room and he sat down on the carpet, right in front of the coffee table. I stood right in front of him, unsure of what to do.
He pointed to the spot across from him, inviting me to take a seat in front of him. I sat down unsure, crossing my legs and putting my hands in my lap. My heart was beating fast as I chewed on my bottom lip.
"So ladies first.", he spoke leaning back on his palms and pushing his chest out. His long legs were once again stretched out and his calves were touching my thighs.
"Truth or dare?", I asked, trying my best not to stutter.
"Truth.", he said and I raised an eyebrow. I thought he'd be the type to pick dare, but whatever. I just wanted to get this over with.
"How old are you?", I asked, trying to make time pass quickly.
"Don't be a pussy, Delilah. I know what you're trying to do, you're trying to get away as quickly as possible."
"So? We had an agreement.", I mumbled.
"Your precious earring is still by me."
I sighed. "Fine. Uh..."
What could I ask him? I bit my lip and concentrated. "Why did you lie about pulling my name out of the cap?"
He licked his lips. "Because I wanted to know how you kissed. I've kissed all the girls in that room, so yeah."
"Was I a good kisser?", the question left my mouth quickly and I suddenly blushed.
"One question.", he smirked, and now I really wanted to know the answer.
"Renee, truth or dare?"
He looked at me with a daring look. By the tone he spoke the word 'dare', I knew he thought that I was a pussy and would've picked truth.
"Dare.", I said with confidence, although it soon disappeared when I saw him smirk, pleased by my actions.
"I dare you to take your top off."
My eyes widened. "What? No."
No. I had nothing under my crop top. He pouted. "Come on, it's not like I haven't seen many tits before."
Exactly. He's seen a lot of...'tits', so mine would probably be a disappointment.
"No, Niall."
"Fine. I dare you to...give me a lap dance."
My heart stopped and I chewed on my bottom lip.
Come on, you can do it Rey. It's just a lap dance. You can do it.
I slowly stood up and scratched the back of my head, mumbling:
"But I won't be good at it."
He looked up at me, before he stood up and sat down on the coffee table, not saying anything. Great, now he thinks I'm a loser. He hooked his hand around the back of my thigh and pulled me into him, so I was standing between his legs.
"I'll show you.", he said and turned me around, clamping his knees shut so I wouldn't escape him.
His hands gripped into my thighs and he brought me down on his lap. I sat still, feeling all the blood rushing to my cheeks. I was so embarrassed right now.
I gasped when his hand placed itself on my naked stomach, before wandering down towards the hem on my pants, his fingertips slipping under them, almost touching my underwear.
I jumped up, startling him.
"You absolute dick! Give me my earring back now!", I said, my whole face burning. I was so angry at him, I was going to explode. Who did he think he was?
He smirked.
"But the game isn't over.", he pouted.
I let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine, god! Why are you doing this?"
"I'm bored."
"Then go and have fun with my cousin.", I muttered.
"You're not jealous, are you?"
I snorted. A really loud, unattractive snort.
"Excuse me? I don't even CARE about whoever you chose to fuck!"
I sat down, more like slammed my ass down the carpet, then crossed my arms on my chest.
"Oh I bet you'd like my dick inside of you."
"You're disgusting. No wonder your dad isn't here anymore."
His eyes narrowed and he stood up. My heart stopped.
"You don't know anything about that.", he said darkly, before stepping closer.
He stood above me, and I leaned back on my palms, to get away from him.
"I know you feel attracted to me, Renee.", he hissed getting down on his knees, straddling my knees, restricting my way of escaping from him.
"You're so full of yourself.", I spat with all the left confidence I had.
He leaned forwards and I leaned backwards, trying to create as much space between us as I could. I ended up flat on my back.
"Come on, just admit it. Every girl in this fuckin' neighborhood likes me."
"Well not me. I'm not attracted to ignorant assholes.", I said before biting my lip. Maybe I shouldn've said that.
I tried to push him away by pressing my palms against his chest. He caught my hands with his and put them over my head, leaning over so he was hovering above me. His crotch was pressing into my thigh.
"You got a big mouth.", he stated, his alcohol breath hitting my lips and nose.
His eyes were slightly red from all the alcohol he drank.
"I wonder how it would feel around my big cock."
I was disgusted and somehow...turned on at the same time.
He stared at me for a second, before he suddenly leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. I didn't react.
He started moving his lips against mine and I gave in. His tongue slipped between my lips and I arched my back at the feeling of his tongue piercing.
He pulled back too soon, but not before biting down on my bottom lip and tugging at it.
"I knew you wanted me.", he said getting up on his feet. I was somehow sad that he didn't continue the kiss.
"Yeah sure, boost your ego."
"Why would the fact that you like me boost my ego?"
That hurt, but I let it slip.
"So are you going to give me my earring or not?"
He looked at the clock that was on the wall and shrugged.
"I guess you can have it back, since you're not into dirty games."
So he considered me a loser. I didn't even know why his opinion mattered so much to me.
He took a step forwards, right when a car stopped in front of his house. We heard voices. I froze when I heard my grandparents' voices, followed by the voice of Niall's mum.
"Here.", he said pulling the earring out of his jacket pocket. "Now go through the back door so you won't get in trouble."
"What about you? Won't you get in trouble for all this mess?"
"I am trouble."
I looked at him for a second, and he looked at me, before I turned around and walked towards the door he spoke of. I slipped outside in his back garden and ran around the house, before swiftly crossing the street.
My grandparents were still talking to Niall's mother, who probably didn't even know what was waiting on her inside.
I saw the light on in Katherine's room and threw a few pebbles at her window.
The window opened. "Niall, what now?", she asked, and it occurred to me that Niall probably used to climb up in her room every night for a quick shag.
"It's me! Can you come quick and open the back door?"
She rolled her eyes and disappeared, to appear at the back door a few seconds later. She let me in and locked the door, before we both ran up the stairs in darkness.
"Where were you? What took you so long?", she hissed, stopping me at my door, right when we heard the front door open.
"The earring was in a vase.", I muttered. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight.", she said and tiptoed to her room.
I closed the door to my room and took my shoes off, before going to close my curtains. I caught a glimpse of Mrs. Horan entering the house, then stopping the doorway, probably horrified at the sight in front of her.
I closed the curtains and went to brush my teeth, take my contacts out, then change into my PJ's and get into bed.
I stared at the black ceiling for god knows how long, just thinking about what happened tonight. The kiss with Niall. I liked it, I wasn't going to lie.
No, I didn't like Niall. I liked the kiss, yes, it gave me a good feeling.
Yes, he was attractive, but I still didn't like him.
However, the look in his eyes when I talked about his father startled me. He was angry, but for a moment I swear I saw a glint of hurt.
~*~*~
The next morning I woke up to my phone beeping. I groaned and rolled to the other side of the bed, picking my phone up.
It was a text from Niall. I quickly sat up straight and wiped my eyes, before reading the text clearly.
Niall: hey can u cum n open da backdoor 4 me cuz im stuk in kittys room n i dont wan ur grandparents t c me
I had to read it three times to actually understand what he was saying. I rolled my eyes and stood up from the bed, before typing a response for him.
Renee: yeah come to my door and I'll let you out in 2 minutes
I heard a swift knock as soon as I sent out the text. I looked around the room and had time to stuff a peppermint candy that was lying in a package on the desk before the door was swung open and Niall entered the room, in a pair of blue sweatpants. Just sweatpants.
His hair was ruffled and his piercings were gone, except the one in his lip.
"I told you to wait outside."
He smirked and looked me up and down. "No you didn't."
Then it occurred to me that I was in extremely short shorts and a bra. I snatched the blanket from the bed and wrapped it around my body, furiously blushing.
"It's not like I haven't seen you naked."
"You're an idiot.", I mumbled and exited my room, walking past him.
"What's going on? Why did you leave Ni?"
We looked at Katherine, who was followed out of her room by Hannah. What happened last night? From what I remember, it was almost 3am when I got into bed. Did they...actually, I don't want to know what they did. I was going to be sick.
"I have to go.", Niall mumbled. "But last night was fun. We should do it again."
"Definitely.", Hannah and Katherine said at once, and Niall's eyes drifted to me.
"Show me the way, babe."
I rolled my eyes and after I made sure that my grandparents weren't around, I walked down the stairs, then into the kitchen, were I unlocked the door.
"How did you even get it?", I asked him and he stopped in the doorframe. I instantly noticed that he smelled like smoke.
"Climbed up the window."
"Wow, you're that horny you would climb up a window to shag someone?"
"Not someone. Two someones."
His eyes drifted down to the blanket, and my fingers that were tightly gripping into it.
"Why? Do you want me to pay a visit tonight? Because I can do that if you want."
"Yeah okay bye.", I said. It occurred to me that I didn't deny his proposal. But I left it at that, surprising myself.
What the fuck?
"Bye Renee.", he said licking his lips, before turning around and walking away. My eyes were glued to the black heart to his neck, wondering what it meant.
God, why was he so complicated?
~*~*~
It turned out that grandma and grandpa went out grocery shopping, cue the lasagna smell that came from the kitchen a few hours later.
I was up in my room like usual, scrolling through Tumblr and reblogging skating photos.
I curled my toes-it was a habit of mine, it relaxed me. My eyes drifted to the house across the street once again. I wondered what Niall was doing at the moment.
I immediately squinted my eyes at the mental image in my head. Shit, he fucked me up. I was starting to get perverted.
I bit my lip and grabbed my phone, with the intention of playing Temple Run, when a knock on my door interrupted me.
"Yeah?", I asked.
Katherine came in wearing a pretty revealing tank top and a pair of high waisted shorts. She had on high wedges and she seemed to go through a hipster phase, hence the headband that was squeezing her forehead, making her face look like a pear.
"What's up?", I asked putting the phone on the table.
"I was about to go hang out on the street with the others...and I thought I'd invite you."
I glanced outside the window. The sky was dark, which meant it was going to rain. I shrugged.
"Sure, why not? Just let me dress properly."
I changed into a tank top and jean shorts, putting on a pair of blue Vans.

"You're going to be cold.", she said as we walked down the stairs. I shrugged.
Katherine announced grandma that we were going outside, and she replied, saying we should come back when it will start raining.
Everyone was chilling around Jake and Jade's house. I gulped when I saw Niall on one of the lounge chairs, sipping from a beer.
His piercings were back, and his hair was brown. His long skinny legs were covered with shorts and he was crossing his ankles as he idly chatted with Sean and Hannah. He bowed his head towards me, so he could look at me over his shades. Who wore shades when it wasn't even sunny?
Kaylee was laughing with Jade, secretly sneaking glanced towards Jake, who was too involved in his phone than to notice everyone else. There were three more people from yesterday's party here, but I didn't know them.
"HEY!", Katherine yelled and everyone's head turned to us. Sean and Niall smirked.
"Hi.", Sean said, his eyes on me.
I faked a small smile and tugged on my shorts, immediately regretting my choice of clothing. We heard a scream from down the street, and all of our heads snapped towards Ricky, who jogged towards us with a soccer ball under his arm. He was smiling.
Niall and Sean got up from their chairs and pulled his pants up.
"S'go!", Sean said motioning to us to follow them.
"Where are we going?", I asked Katherine.
"We're goin' on the footie field.", Ricky answered for her as he started walking further down the street.
I bit my lip and looked up at the sky. It was going to rain 100%.
"Grab me bottle from the table!", Niall yelled looking at me over his shoulder.
I tried to ignore the fact that he had his arm around Katherine, and was now kissing her as they walked. I grabbed his beer bottle from the table and walked a few feet behind them. I could hear a sexual topic starting, and quite frankly I wasn't interested in any of it.
I played with my nails and looked at the half full bottle. 89% alcohol? Wow he surely loved getting drunk. Never have I been drunk nor did I want to try it.
They turned left on a field and I saw a small park, a few small shops and a small soccer field.
The girls sat down on the grass, giggling and chatting. I awkwardly looked at Niall, who tugged his shirt over his head and tossed it to Katherine.
"Hold me shirt babe.", he said and I found the fact that he kept saying 'meh' instead of 'my' or 'me' completely annoying. Everything he did was annoying.
"What am I going to do with this?", I asked raising the bottle.
He tore his eyes away from Katherine who sat down next to Hannah and looked at me. He smiled and I had to gather all my strength not to look down at his naked, tattooed chest.
"Keep it until I finish the game.", he said before turning around, and once again I found myself staring at the black heart on his neck.
I sat down next to Kaylee and sighed, crossing my legs. I placed the bottle in the circle formed by my legs and propped my elbow on my knee, resting my head in my palm as I watched the game.
I caught Niall's eyes a couple of times, and it suddenly became a game of who was averting their gaze first.
He stopped in the middle of the field, still holding my gaze. People were starting to notice, so I quickly focused on a spot on the grass, blushing from all the attention.
"Why did he get that dragon tattoo on his arm again?", Hannah asked Katherine as she layed on her back, glancing up at the cloudy sky.
"He said it was something to do with the fact that it's dangerous and dark.", Katherine mumbled playing with Niall's shirt.
"You really know the meanings of all his tattoos?", Jade asked leaning back on her palms.
Katherine nodded. "He told me."
Well aren't you pretty fucking special.
"What does the black heart on the back of his neck mean?", I asked before I could stop myself.
All three of them turned to look at me.
"That's the only one he didn't tell me about."
"What's so special about it anyway?", Jade butted in.
"Yeah, I don't know.", Katherine spoke. "I asked him a couple of times about it, but he freaked out. Well not really freaked out, but he was all mysterious about it, saying it wasn't any of my business."
I gulped and looked back on the field, to see that Niall was running across it, apparently he won. They were all sweating when they came towards us. Niall stretched his arm to Katherine, who handed him his shirt. He used it to wipe his face and smirked when his eyes fell on the bottle between my legs.
"We going?", Hannah asked looking at the watch on her phone.
"Yeah.", Katherine said getting up, right when a thunder was heard.
"Shit." Kaylee looked up at the sky.
"You coming over to mine?", Ricky asked her as he pulled his shirt on.
Jake eyed Kaylee immediately.
Kaylee shrugged and nodded, before she turned to me.
"You should come too."
I looked up at them.
"Nah, I got to go home."
"She has math homework.", Katherine said and I wanted to slap her.
Jade crossed her arms impatiently on her chest.
"So are we going shopping or not? The rain's going to pour any second now."
Katherine nodded and asked me to tell grandma that she'll be home later tonight. I shrugged and watched everyone leave. Sean and Niall still stood a few feet away from me.
Niall came over to me and I wanted to stand up. My arse was bumb and it was going to rain anyway.
He crouched down in front of me, before he wrapped his long fingers around the bottle and took it away, making sure to brush it against my crotch. I blushed and stood up, right when the first water drops started falling.
"Let's go mate.", Sean said, seeming pretty alarmed by the fact that his hair was going to get wet.
"Where you goin' now?", Niall asked him, not even bothered by the fact that it was going to rain heavily.
I walked next to them, not saying anything, just listening to Sean telling him about a girl that was coming over in a few minutes, to 'have their way'. Was I the only virgin in this country?
Niall's tattooed muscles were glistening in the rain. My hair was taped to my forehead when I got to my door. Sean smirked and winked at me for goodbye. Niall just looked at me, fixed his snapback and turned to his house. His shades were hung at the collar of his tank top.
I walked up the steps to my grandma's porch and opened the door. Or, tried to open it. It wouldn't budge.
"What?", I asked but then saw the note on the coffee table.
Renee, Katherine, your grandpa and I are out to yet another book club meeting. Katherine, you have your keys and the food is in the fridge. Love, grandma.
I groaned and crumpled the paper, before I turned around looking out on the street that was now flooded by water. I was freezing and wet and I hated the way my clothes clinged to my body.
I crossed my arms and found myself running across the street to Niall's house. I hated myself for what I was about to do.
I pressed my index finger to the doorbell and tried to make my teeth stop from jittering.
The door was opened, and Niall stood there with a Twix bar in hand. He rose his eyebrows before he smirked. He was still dripping wet.
"Can I help you?", he asked, obviously enjoying the fact that he was keeping me outside in the rain.
"My grandparents are gone to their book club meeting...and I'm locked out."
"And what do I have to do with all this?"
"Can I wait inside for them? It won't last longer than an hour."
"Depends."
"On what?"
"Get on your knees.", he said seriously.
My face fell and I turned red.
"Forget it.", I said and wanted to turn around.
He rolled his eyes and stepped aside:
"God, I was just joking."
"Ha-ha.", I mumbled and walked inside as he slammed the door shut, locking it.
His house was almost unrecognizable with no red cups everywhere and drunk people dancing. It was clean...normal.
"I'm jumping in the shower quickly...so unless you want to join me, you can wait here.", he said throwing the Twix wrapper on the coffee table and running up the stairs.
I threw it in the trash in the kitchen and sat down on the couch. I stood up again, because I was going to wet the cushions.
I looked around, staring at pictures of Niall when he was younger. He was so cute and innocent. I couldn't help but wonder what happened to him. There was a recent picture of him with his mother and someone who appeared to be his stepfather.
I remembered seeing him yesterday in his driveway. "He's going on a business trip to London.", my grandma said to my grandpa. Grandpa squinted his eyes and said: "I'm sure." He was sarcastic. I ignored it.
Another picture was nailed to the wall. It was of Niall's mom and his stepdad. They were smiling at each other.
"Makes me throw up every time."
I turned around and saw Niall looking at the picture over my shoulder. He was wearing a grey sweatshirt and matching sweatpants. I noticed that all his piercings were gone now. Even though I'd never say it out loud, he was beautiful. You couldn't see any of his tattoos now, and without his piercings he looked innocent, normal. His hair was almost brown.
"They look in love.", I mumbled.
"He's not.", he replied and stepped back.
He still had his tongue piercing.
I shivered.
"Do you want a jumper?", he asked.
I was surprised by his question. "Wh- yeah."
He turned around and I glanced at the picture once more. He came back with a pair of sweatpants and a greenish knitted jumper.
I took the clothing from him and went in the kitchen where I got changed. To my surprise he didn't protest or anything.
When I came back out he was on the couch watching some soccer game.
"Just put them on the radiator.", he instructed, pointing towards the radiator.
I did as he suggested and turned around to find that he turned the volume down and was now watching me.
"What?", I asked.
"Let's play chicken."
"Don't be silly, I know that game. I'm not playing it with you."
"Fine. Then you can wait for your grandparents in the rain."
I pouted angrily to show him that I didn't want to play. I didn't. No. He knew I was going to lose anyway.
He wriggled his eyebrows and mocked me.
"You're not scared of how far I'll go, are you?", he asked daringly.
I looked at him for a second before saying: "Fine. I'll play."
"Alriiiight.", he said smirking and licking his bottom lip.
I went to sit down on the floor, but he patted the place next to him on the couch. I stood up unsure and went to him, sitting down as far as I could from him.
I knew this game. Basically two people sat in front of each other, cross-legged, and each one of them had to make a move, until one of them was going to chicken out.
And he knew I was going to chicken out. I knew he would take it far, but at the same time I wondered why he would try something on me? I wasn't experienced and there was nothing attractive about me.
"Ladies first.", he said smirking.
However, I didn't budge. I didn't want him laughing at my innocence or things like that. If there was one thing I hated, it was to be laughed at, made fun of.
"Fine.", he sighed. "I'll go."
He darted out of his seating position tpwards me, but I stopped him by placing my palms against his chest and pushing him back.
"Y-you didn't say start.", I managed to say.
He rolled his eyes and fully turned towards me. He leaned against the armrest and propped a leg up on the couch.
"You say it. Whenever you're ready."
His eyes caught mine and I gulped. To hell with it, I was tired of him thinking that I was a nun. He had no right to judge me. I wasn't going to chicken out. Not this time.
I shuffled towards him on the couch and crossed my legs. He laughed, but didn't say anything about my lack of confidence.
I was surprised when he mirrored my actions instead of doing god knows what. He crossed his legs.
I moved again, but this time our knees were touching. I played with the freakishly long sleeves of his green jumper. He took me by surprise when he gripped into my legs and untangled them. He then pulled me towards him -just like he did in the closet the other night- so that I was once again hugging him with my legs.
Our crotches was almost touching and my heart was already in my neck.
It was my turn, and I choose to place my palms on his shoulders.
He was watching me curiously, his dark blue orbs daring.
He leaned in, so that his nose was just a few inches from mine. I felt his alcohol breath on my lips and thanked god that I accepted that mint from Kaylee earlier.
He was waiting for me to do a move. I closed the gap between us (I was going to show him that I wasn't a coward), with the intention of kissing him, but I changed my mind in the last second so my lips landed on his cheek (more like the corner of his mouth).
My lips lingered on his cheek for a few seconds. I waited for him to laugh at my totally virgin move, but his lips came in contact with my cheek.
I closed my eyes when I felt them move down, to my neck. He ran his tongue across the sensitive skin and I bit my lip, squinting my eyes shut.
His aftershave was driving me crazy. His chin rested on my shoulder, and I knew he was waiting for my next move.
My hands fell down from his shoulders to his skinny waist.
I almost squeaked when I felt him cup my bum and suddely leaning down. He was now fully on his back, and I slipped on the base of his stomach. He didn't seem to be bothered by my weight.
My hands slipped under his shirt against my will.
His left hand moved from my back to my front and his fingers lightly touched my crotch. I was slowly starting to crack. It was too much for me. I was scared.
I moved back which caused him to moan a low 'fuck'. His whole palm cupped me between my legs and I shot up instantly, almost tripping over my own feet.
"You pig!", I yelled, totally infuriated.
When I saw that his expression changed to a dark one, I turned around and made a run towards the door.
I almost yelled when I saw it was locked. I heard his footsteps coming towards me so I immediately ran towards the door that led to the kitchen.
A dark laugh was heard behind me and I turned around to see him in the doorframe. Amazing. The only escape I had was through the backdoor, but that was probably locked too.
He came towards me and I circled the island counter. I tried the backdoor but it was locked-shocker.
I watched him, on the other side of the counter. He found it very amusing, judging by the smirk on his face. I wanted to slap it right off his face.
He took a sudden step to his right, which made me jump and step to the right. He laughed again and I turned red because of anger.
He leaned his elbows on the counter and batted his eyelashes, obviously enjoying my desperate state. I eyed his keys on the hanger by the door, and immediately knew what I had to do.
I pretened to walk to my left and he stood up straight, coming towards me. I quickly changed my direction and ran to the door, ripped the keys off the hanger and continued my way to the front door.
I fumbled with the keys and almost screamed of joy when the first key I tried fit into the lock. I twisted my wrist and unlocked the door. I swung it open and didn't give a fuck that it was raining and still no one was home.
I didn't even get to take a step, because I was yanked back by my shirt and pulled into the house.
The door was slammed shut and I was pinned against it, my cheek freezing against the cold wood.
I felt his breath on the back of my head. His lips were now taped to my ear and opened:
"Chicken.", he chuckled and I wiggled away from him. He didn't react in any way, letting me get away from him. I tucked my hair behind my ear and huffed, crossing my arms over my chest. My heart was still beating fast, but somehow I wasn't scared of him anymore.
"Why are you so scared?", he asked smirking, coming towards me.
I took a step back.
"I'm not scared of you, god.", I said. Now I was scared. But what could he do to me?
"You sure? You're shaking."
"S'from the cold.", I mumbled and took yet another step back.
"What did you think I was going to do to you?", he asked.
"Don't want to give you any ideas...", I whispered under my breath.
"What was that?", he asked but we were interrupted by the door opening and Mrs. Horan stepping into the house. She said something about the heavy rain to herself, before her eyes landed on us.
She wasn't that surprised to see me, probably because Niall always had girls over.
"Oh, Renee! Hi!"
"Hello Mrs. Horan."
Niall scratched his head, not even greeting his mom. How rude of him. Her eyes drifted to my clothing, and I realised how it must've looked, me wearing his clothes and all.
"Uh...I had no key and my grandparents were gone...so...I came here.", I said stepping towards her and away from Niall.
"Oh, that's okay dear."
"Are they home now?"
"Yes darling."
"Thank you."
"I thought you threw away the shirt I knitted you.", Mrs. Horan said, now looking at Niall.
He shrugged. "Whatever. Did you buy some food? I hope you're not cooking. Are you?"
God, he was such a douchebag to his mother, I was sorry for her. Her eyes saddened and she nodded.
"I'll order pizza then. You can stay if you want."
Her last sentence was directed towards me but I shook my head.
"Oh no, thank you, but I don't want my grandma worrying."
"Sure honey."
She smiled, then went into the kitchen. I walked to the door and Niall opened it for me. I stepped outside but then turned around, making him stop in the mid-action of closing the door.
"Should I wash these?", I asked and pulled at the end of the sweatshirt.
He shrugged. "Keep it. I was going to throw it out anyway."
"You should be more kind to your mother."
"Yeah yeah whatever."
Then he closed the door right in my face.
How nice.
It wasn't until I got home that I noticed that I forgot my clothes at Niall's, but I was going to get them the next day.
***
The next day didn't come, because I found myself two days later, up in my bedroom, on Tumblr. I hadn't seen Niall since that day.
It was past 8pm, and I knew Katherine had plans with Jade, because she invited me out too, to go with them at god knows which club. Honestly, no thank you.
"RENEEEEE!", my grandma's voice was heard from downstairs.
"WHAAAT?", I yelled.
"COME DOWN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE I'M NOT YELLING TO HEAR THE SOUD OF YOUR NAME!"
I rolled my eyes and snapped my laptop shut.
"What?", I asked from the top of the stairs.
"I have a grocery list for you."
"But it's late grandma.", I said.
"Don't make me call your mother."
"UGH, fine."
I changed into jeans and walked down, to see my grandma watching the lottery. Of course.
"I also left some money for the bus."
I rolled my eyes and grabbed the list before exiting the house. The air was cold and I knew it was going to rain again. It rained on and off the last two days.
I walked to the bus station and looked at the timetable, then at the clock.
"Fuck!", I yelled when I saw that I just missed the bus. I had to wait another 30 minutes. Amazing.
"That's a lovely vocabulary."
I turned around and saw Niall coming towards me, a cigarette between his fingers. His piercings were back.
"Go away Niall."
"And I was just thinking of driving you to the grocery shop.", he pouted and dropped the cigarette to the ground, before stepping on it.
"How do you know I'm going grocery shopping?"
"What else would you do in the town centre?"
I rolled my eyes.
"So? Do you want a ride there?"
I shrugged. "Sure. Wait, you're not going to use the motorcycle, are you?"
"God no, do you want me to get her wet?"
"Her?", I snickered.
"Shut up. I'm taking the car. Can you wait here?"
I shrugged and sat down on the bench.
Two minutes later I was climbing in the passanger seat, wondering why he offered to give me a ride.
"Why are you giving me a ride?", I asked as I put my seatbelt on.
He wanted to say something but then he smirked and said:
"Because you'll have to return the favor."
"I can't drive."
"But you can give me a ride."
"Wha-oh. God, you're such a pig. But seriously, why?"
He shrugged. "Got bored."
I focused on the road in front of us, and before I knew it, he was parking the car.
"I'll wait outside, gonna smoke.", he said pulling out his cigarettes and lighter.
"Okay."
I entered the shop.
I was done with the shopping thirty minutes later, and it started to rain. I exited the shop and looked to my right, expecting to see him leaning against the wall like I left him, but he wasn't there.
Great.
The street was deserted and his car wasn't across the street in the parking lot.
I knew he'd to something like this. I knew it. God, I wasn't going to talk to him again. Ever.
"Fuck you.", I muttered and went to hide under the roof in the bus station. The bus was coming in twenty minutes. I could wait that long.
After a few minutes I was cold, so I stood up and pulled my hood over my head. I moved around in the cold rain, to get warmer.
I screamed when someone touched my arm. My heart started beating faster and I was ready to pass out when I heard that familiar dark laugh.
I turned around and was met by a smirking Niall, with the hood over his dishevelled hair.
"Where the fuck have you been? I was freezing!"
He laughed. "I was just playin' with ya."
"Well it's not funny.", I mumbled.
"Let's go before we get really wet.", he said and pointed towards a street where his car was probably parked. We walked in silence towards the car and I almost dropped the milk.
"God.", Niall groaned halfway to the car and snatched the groceries from my hands.
"Thanks?", I said and shook my hands.
I watched him as he loaded his trunk and slammed it shut. Then he pulled another cigarette out and took a few steps towards the house nearby, shielding himself from the rain.
I didn't comment and I couldn't because he offered me a ride (even though he almost left me). He was a weird person.
"Want one?"
"What? Oh, no."
"C'mon. Just one. You'll like it.", he said holding the pack out for me to take.
"Exactly."
He pushed himself off the wall and came onto me, trapping me against it.
"One.", he said.
"Drop it Niall."
"Open your mouth.", he then said, letting out a smoke.
I licked my lips and softly parted my lips. I knew what was about to come, but I was surprised by how easily I obeyed him. He leaned in after he took a drag and his lips brushed mine as he let out the smoke. I took it in before letting it out.
"Mmm good girl.", he said and suddenly dipped his head down and attached his lips to mine. I was taken aback but I continued the kiss, placing my hands on his waist.
Because to be quite honest, I kept replaying the kiss on the floor and the one in the closet very often.
He threw his cigarette away and placed that hand on the wall beside my head, and the other one on my hip. His tongue piercing was once again amazing, and his tongue tasted like cigarette. I would've minded, but right now I liked the way he tasted and smelled.
He tilted his head and pushed me further into the wall whilst his tongue rubbed against mine.
He pulled away all too quickly, before licking his lip and smirking.
"Let's go back."
I shrugged, and deep down I knew I was a bit hurt by the fact that for him it didn't mean anything. I didn't really mind, but I would've loved if I could kiss him every time I wanted and felt like it.
God, the smoke has gone to my brain.
I thanked him for giving me a ride, and walked back to my house, cursing at the rain. My grandma yelled at me for being late, but I ignored her and went upstairs, where I took a shower.
I dropped the towel on the floor once I was in my room, before I changed into my pajamas and got into bed. I turned off the light because I wasn't in the mood of doing anything. I kept replaying the kiss in my head, until my phone vibrated on the bedside table.
I answered it, not checking the caller, because it was probably my mother.
"Yeah?", I asked.
There was heavy breathing on the other end, before the voice spoke:
"You should close your curtains babe."
