... if you're leaving baby,
let me down slowly...

**

Two weeks later on a Monday, I had just made my way to the parking lot so that I could drive to the Lawyer who was helping me get started.

I had been working so hard for the last couple of weeks trying to put everything in place and going to school and work. I hardly had time to think about my problems because by the end of everyday, I was super tired and would just go straight to sleep when my head hit the pillow.

I was a few paces from my car when I passed a black Jaguar. The back door opened and I was surprised to see Harry get out of it.

I really had nothing to say to him so I ignored him and walked the few paces to my car but before I could open my door, a hand pressed on it, preventing me from my earlier motive.

Sighing, I turned around to face Harry because I knew from the cross tattoo that he was the one behind me.

The look on his face was unreadable. It was mixed with confusion and anger and a hint of guilt but I couldn't pinpoint one.
What was he even doing here if was just gonna remind me about that fateful night and how he was not man enough to stand up for me?

He was looking back at me and wasn't saying anything so I crossed my arms over my chest and stared back at him.

He came here which means he has something to say and he'd better say it because I wasn't gonna talk to him first.

"Niall... can I talk to you?" He asked unsurely.

I rolled my eyes. " You are already talking to me." I knew that I was being rude but I cared not.

I mean, I wanted to be neutral when he dropped whatever bombs he was gonna drop on me but I also wanted him let me down slowly.
There's only so much bad-mouthing I could take before I break.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to say something but I looked at my watch and gasped.

"What's wrong?" He quickly asked when he heard me gasp. I was gonna run late of I stayed here another five minutes and I didn't wanna be known as a tardy person.

"I have to go. What do you wanna say to me?" I asked impatiently.

"Can I talk to you when you are not rushing to go somewhere, please? Maybe over coffee?" He asked.

How dare he say something about me rushing when he was there one who didn't call before coming here in he first place?

"Excuse you Harry. You do realise that you are supposed to call before showing up at a person's house." I said.

"Would you have picked up if I had called though?" He asked instead. Good point. For three days now, he had begun sending me good morning and goodnight texts but I had ignored all of them.

"No." I said simply and he shrugged.
Was he tryna' be smart with me?

I angrily turned around and opened my car then got in but he held the door.

"Please Niall. I just wanna talk please." He begged and I couldn't help but soften my gaze.

"Fine, when and where?" I asked tapping my hands on the wheel.

"What time will you be free?"

"I'll be free from six pm till I decide to go to bed." I answered.

"Okay how does 7:30 sound?" He asked and I nodded.

"My place?" He added and I glared at him.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Okay okay, what about the café that is two blocks from my house?" He asked again and I shook my head.

"It's too secluded. Not many people go there after six. I suggest Tammy's." I said. I liked that café because I knew the owner and almost all the workers. Plus it was close to my flat meaning I wouldn't have to drive a long way back if things went south.

The other reason was because it was always packed and he wouldn't dare badmouth me if we are in a mass of people.

"Niall I can't go there. I'd get mobbed." Harry argued and I internally rolled my eyes.

"It's Tammy's or nothing." I said with finality and he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Niall, if I get mobbed while I'm with you, do you think you'll be able to slip through the crowd and get off the hook?" He asked and I swallowed when I realized that he had a point but I wasn't gonna let him win.

"Tammy's at 7:30, bye." I said and closed the door because he was no longer holding it.

I didn't wait for him to say anything before I drove off and left him standing there.

8pm...

I was at my flat with Zayn. He was showing me some of them designs that he was working on as a test from Gucci. Both of us weren't working that night.

We were also watching re-runs of Friends as we went through the designs.

"So how's Liam? Surprised he's let you be alone for once." I teased and nudged his shoulder.

"He's my boyfriend Niall not my twin. You make it seem like we are those clingy kind of couples. And he's fine." Zayn said with a huge smile.

The smile he always wore when Liam was a topic of discussion or when he was around. I was really happy for them. They deserved each other.

"Have you met you? You guys are like joined by the hip." I continued to tease him.

"Shut up." He said.

"Where is he?" I asked him and his smile was back.

"He's in Manila, work stuff." He replied.

"Oh I see, so have you had sex yet?" I asked and his eyes went wide while he blushed deeply.

"Shut up you idiot, I'm not discussing my sex life with ya." He replied and I couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

"I can finally die in peace." I said after I had calmed down from my laughing fit.

"Why's that?"

"Because I've seen the Zayn Malik blush because of a boy." I said simply and Zayn just shook his head.

"Anyway, where's your phone? I wanna check the time, mine's dead." Zayn said and looked at me.

I pointed over to the table where my phone was resting.

"Why do you have a reminder set for 7pm?" Zayn asked and I face palmed.

I was supposed to get ready at seven  and leave at seven twenty but I had purposely decided to stand him up.

"It's... nothing." I answered but he shook his head.

I looked at the time and noticed that it was after ten pm. Then I took a deep breath and decided to tell him some but before I could start there was a knock on my door.

I wondered who it could be.

"Be back shortly." I said to Zayn as I stood up and went to open the door.

I opened my door and internally sighed when I saw who was at the door.

"Hi." I waved but he just kept looking at me.
