Chapter 17

3rd update coz I'm kinda fab...

Lola's POV

After 3 games of I spy with Niall I realised how Harry was much better company even if he slept most of the time. I smiled at Niall though and his determination to make me forget about the daggers jabbing into my skin, all he did was talk and talk, telling me about the pranks he'd pulled on tour, his addiction to food and his unfortunate luck with girls.

"I mean, I'm not an ugly guy but I just don't have that way that Haz does with the girls!" He told me, honestly, cringing at the thought of no girlfriend. I ruffled his hair as I spoke.

"Niall, there are plenty of fish in the sea, don't worry! Any girl would be lucky to have you." I told him sincerely before hearing a familiar voice from around the corner of the door.

"Well hasn't he heard that one before!"

His smile stretched far enough for his dimples to show and I couldn't help but get butterflies when I saw him fully. His unruly hair was pushed back with a bandana and his sunglasses covered his beautiful eyes and black bags. His usual jeans clung to him and he'd changed his top to a white one so I could just make out the faint outlines of his tattoos. I sighed as he came closer and inhaled his fresh smell that I was getting too used to. He sat beside me and pulled out a box of cookies and a collection of new DVD's. Niall rose from his seat and pounced on the cookies before I had a look in.

"Oy, you, Horan. They're for the patient!" He smirked as he kissed my forehead and Niall flipped him off.

"Hi." I breathed, smiling at him, the uneasy feeling leaving my stomach within seconds.

"Hello Angel, sorry I wasn't here when you came in. I had to do my cookie round." He pointed to the fresh box and I smiled at his kind ways. A look of guilt crossed his eyes but it was soon hidden when he stood up to put a DVD in.

"Soooo, what is it today? Comedy, Horror or Romance?" He turned to wink at me but I rolled my eyes. Niall laughed at him and threw a cookie.

"If both if ya are gonna get all soppy on me, I'm leaving! I can't deal with sex and stuff."

Harry gasped as I laughed.

"Niall, we'd do no such thing! Not in such a public place! Well not unless you wanted to?" Harry turned to wink at me and he laughed at the blush covering my cheeks.

"Harry, I don't do sex talk in front of boys!" I shook my head at his stupid grin.

"For a moment I thought you said 'I don't do sex' and I did partially stop breathing." He held a hand on his heart and gave a theatrical look of horror. I inwardly smiled at the thought of him wanting sex with me.

"Oh and you couldn't live without sex?" I gasped, mocking him.

"Harry would die if he never got sex, it's what he lives on!" Niall shouted, shutting up straight away when Harry glared at him.

"Is it now?" I quirked an eyebrow.

"It is indeed, unfortunately."

A voice arose from outside the room and we turned to look. Harry gaped at the woman figure in the door and smiled a huge smile.

"Mum?!"
