Who Will Win My Heart?

Chapter 32

I walk back into Niall's room and he is casually laying on his bed. I pull my shirt over my head as I walk over to the closet. Niall lays back on the bed and puts a pillow over his face so he doesn't look.

"So how did it go?" He asks me and I shuffle through my clothing, pulling out a pink laced top.

"Okay, he wants to take me out to dinner." I shrug and Niall goes silent.

After I threw a pair of shorts and my shirt on with my sandals, I walk over to Niall. I rip the pillow off of his face, making him jump. I laugh at him and he shakes his head.

"Just be careful okay?"

"Yes Mr. Horan." I say and he smirks as I walk out the door.

Harry is leaning up against the wall waiting for me and I offer him a small smile.

"Ready to go?" He asks and I give him a nod as we walk down the steps.

The drive was short and we pull into a small Italian restaurant. We walk in and it's empty. The waiter seats us, I end up get spaghetti and Harry gets lasagna.

"I'm sorry about last night." He says, looking down. I reach over and put my hand over his.

"It's okay Harry. You didn't know what you were doing." I say and he shakes his head.

"I'm an ass. I would never hurt you. I love you." He says and I feel myself blush.

I'm relieved when the waiter comes back with our food before I had to answer him. Harry pops jokes making us both laughing. After we eat, we head back to the flat.

I can tell he's off as we drive back and I grab his hand, intertwining my fingers in his.

"It's okay, we are okay." I tell him and he nods.

"Are you going to let Louis take the blame?" I ask and he sighs.

"I don't know. I think I will tell Liam it was me when everything cools down. Thanks for not squealing on me." He says.

"I'm not at squealer." I say as we pull in.

He parks the car and turns it off. I lean over and I place a kiss on his cheek. He blushes and I let out a giggle as I climb out the car. We walk towards the house and I noticed Louis's car parked into the driveway. I can't believe he actually came back early. We walk into the house and everyone's eyes go straight to us. My eyes meet Louis's and he shakes his head at me. I look at Liam and he gives me a small smile then directs his attention to Anna. Harry puts his hand on the small of my back as he gives me a little push up the steps. I go up them, him following me. We get to the top of the steps and he sighs.

"Tonight was fun." He says and I nod.

"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow." I say as I turn around, heading to Niall's room.

When I walk in, there's no lighting expect for the brightness of the tv. Niall is playing his Xbox with a box of pizza and a bag of chips beside him. He glances at me and gives me a small smile before his eyes go back glued to the screen.

"How was your dinner?" He asks as he kills someone in some gun game he's playing.

"Good." I answer as I grab a piece of pizza, walking to the closet. He laughs at me and I grin.

"Someone has a appetite like me. Anyways, there is a suitcase on the floor for you to put clothes in for Thursday." He says without looking at me.

I pack tons of clothes, mainly shorts and tank tops. I catch Niall watching me, I think it's cute. When I finish, I sit the suitcase by the door and I change clothes. After I get my pjs on, I climb on the bed besides Niall. I watch him play for a while as we carry on a conversation about this small vacation.

There's a small knock on the door and I get up to answer it. I find Louis at the door.

"Can I speak to you?" His voice is stern.

"I'll be right back Niall." I say as I walk out into the hall with him.

"Are you fucking serious? You went out with him after he hit you!" He shouts in a low voice so only I can hear.

"I gave him a second chance." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Can't wait to see what happens next time he gets drunk. And I won't take the blame for him this time." He scoffs.

"You didn't have to this time. I never asked you to do anything for me." I snap back.

"Just leave me the hell alone and go back to your life without me." I say and I storm back into Niall's room. I slam the door behind me, making Niall jump.

"Okay then." He says as he turns off his game.

I climb into the bed with him and he wraps his arms around me. Then we slowly drift to sleep.

•••

The next morning I get a shower and Niall and I put the suitcase in his trunk so we can leave tomorrow morning. All of us spend most of the day watching tv. Halfway through a movie, Liam gets my attention.

"Leah can we talk?" He asks and I give him a nod.

Anna gets off his lap and we walk into the kitchen. I puts his hands in his pockets, he's nervous.

"What's up Liam?" I ask and he bites his lips.

"I need your opinion and support on something." He says biting his lip.

"Okay bro, sure."

"So I am thinking... I don't know... I mean just.." He rambles and I laugh.

"Liam just spit it out!" I say and he shakes his head.

"I think I'm going to ask Anna to marry me." My mouth falls open.

"Aww.." Is the only word that escape my mouth.

"I mean do you think it's too early? We've been dating for three years, almost four and I just want her to be only mine. I'm ready for the commitment."

"I can tell you love each other Liam. Just what about her and college?" I ask him.

"I was thinking we could get married after she graduates. She's graduating after this year. I mean we are both turning twenty soon." He says and a smile appears on my face.

"I think you're ready." I say and he hugs me tightly.

We walk back into the living room and its almost nine as the movie ends.

"This is boring. Why don't we play truth or dare. We haven't played it since Leah has been here." Zayn suggests.

"It's because you haven't invited any random girls over." Louis snarls and Zayn rolls his eyes.

"So we on?" Harry asks and we all agree.

We spend an hour of doing stupid dares like running around the house naked or mixing random foods together, Harry leans over and whispers something in Zayn's ear.

"Truth or dare Niall?" Zayn asks with a grin on his face.

"I guess truth, I've already done tons of dares." He answers.

"It is true you're still a virgin?" Zayn asks and Niall looks down.

"Everyone we still have a virgin in the house!" Harry yells and everyone laughs besides Niall and me.

"Aw baby Niall hasn't got the v yet." Zayn teases.

Niall's head snaps up and he stands up, stalking to the door. He quickly walks out, slamming the door behind him. I shoot death glares at Zayn and Harry.

"Wow really guys. You are assholes." I say as I stand up, following Niall out the door.
