"Good.", she smiled. She then let out a heavy breath, smacking her leg. "So, what do you want to make?"

  "Do you have eggs?", I raised my eyebrows, watching her every move as she crossed the small area and peered into the fridge.

  Her movements were so graceful and I couldn't help myself to stare at her ass as she bent down to look. I don't think I could ever forget how perfect her body is. It's like I have it etched into my brain. The way her hips sway with each step. The way her torso is long, yet her boobs fill it out. How her long legs stride with confidence, yet each step is as if she was walking on feathers that scattered the water, as she tries to not fall in.

  "Lucky for you, my friend, we do.", she smiled and placed the carton on the counter.

  My friend.. that sounds so weird.

  I hopped off the seat, walking over to her. She rested her back against the counter and I noticed her suck in her breath as I stood nearly inches from her. She held the air inside her mouth and I watched as she gulped. I raised my eyebrows at her and she did the same seeming startled, kind of like the way she was the first night we met when I had her pinned to the wall.

  I sighed and leaned in closer to her and I could almost hear the panic running inside of her.  "I need the eggs, love." I whispered in her ear, backing away a little to watch her body relax as she let out the puff of air.

  "Oh! Of course!", she half chuckled,  backing away from the counter. I decided to not comment on the fact that her face was bright red.

  I smirked and pulled a pan out from the cupboard underneath. After it was heated on the stove, I dropped the first egg into the pan, listening to it sizzle out.

  I've always loved the smell of frying eggs. I don't know if it was something that I was born liking, or if it was something that's grown on me over the years, but it's always been one of my favorite foods to make because of that.

Khloe was silent the whole time as she stood in the corner with her arms crossed, just simply watching me. I bit my lip in order to contain the smile that was pleading to break through.

  "Here you are.", I smiled and placed her plate infront of her. She had buttered some toast while I had quickly made us baccon as well. She smiled and pulled out two forks from the drawer, handing me one. I gladly excepted it, smiling back before I took my own plate and sat back at the bar.

  "Thanks. This is really good.", she praised as she took a bite, savoring each taste. I chuckled and nodded, doing the same.

**

Khloe's POV*

  Niall and I sat in the small ariea between the beds, laughing as the clock hit 2 am. He was supposed to be helping me pack for the flight that I have to take in the morning back home, but we haven't really gotten much done.

  Instead, for the past hour now, we've been playing would you rather.

  Surprisingly, this whole friends thing that we're attempting has been going quite well. And if he's just pretending in order to keep me close, then he's pretty damn good at hiding it.

  I smiled as I plucked another shirt from my closet, throwing it at Niall to fold and place in the suitcase. "Okay, would you rather.... jump off the Golden Gate bridge, or be pushed out of a plane without a parachute?"

  Niall turned his head around to see me, one eyebrow raised as a horrified expression played across his features. "Are trying to have me killed?!"

  I laughed, probably harder than I should have, tilting my head back as Niall joined in.

  "Just pick." I took in slow breaths trying to steady my laughing as I pulled out a pair of shorts to chuck at Niall as well.

  "Probably the Golden Gate bridge that way I wouldn't have to see the land underneath, knowing the pain is bound to come. Instead there's just water."

  I nodded and chucked another pair of shorts at him, hitting him in the face on accident as he turned around to look at me again.

  "Oi! What'd ya do that- ooo I like these. I bet they'd look good on you." He smirked, holding them up to view them completely.

  I rolled my eyes, and turned around so the blush that had crept onto my cheeks wouldn't be noticed. "Just put the dang things in my bag.", I laughed. "Okay, continue so that way I don't fall asleep on you."

  "Okay.", he laughed, fixing the grey snapback on his head. "Would you rather lose your virginity to me or to Luke?"

  I think my heart just stopped. My eyes quickly found Niall's just to see if he was kidding or not, but the suddle and serious look that he gave me, as his eyes bored into mine and his lips in a straight thin line, I could tell that he was being completely serious.

  "What makes you think I'm still a virgin?" I asked, my voice squeaking at the end. All of a sudden I had a feel of nervous energy in the pit of my stomach and my hands became clammy.

  "Are you saying that you're not?" He raised his eyes at me, and I felt my cheeks grow hot.

  "Doesn't matter.", I muttered. I let out a puff of air as he smirked. "Just ask a real question, damn it. You're killing my mood." I chuckled, trying to change the subject.

  "Fine, fine, fine... okay. Would you rather eat frog brains or monkey guts?"

  "What the eff kind of question is that?!" I couldn't help but to laugh, shaking my head to get the images out.

  "Just answer the question, woman!" he chuckled, watching as I sat down beside him to help pack the rest of the stuff. I was only going for a week, but Florida weather can be unpredictable at times.. and it's also a girl's nature to pack plenty more than necessary.

  "Okay, sorry." I chuckled. "This is so disgusting, but probably frog brains."

  I placed the shirts in first then my shorts, making sure to fold them tightly so everything fit into the small suitcase. "Would you rather sleep here or go back to your dorm?"

  He stared at me, narrowing his eyes a little. "Are you still playing, or are you serious?"

  I let out a yawn, leaning against my bed for support. "I'm being serious. It's two thirty and I'm tired. I have to be at the airport at seven to catch my flight."

  "Oh, but don't you have class?" I shook my head, yawning again.

  "No, I get Fridays off, so technically my break started yesterday after tryouts." Niall just nodded, not saying a word. "So, what's your answer? And before you say anything about Luke, we are friends so it's alright. Just you stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine.", I added quickly, glancing between him and the ceiling.

  The room was dark, all but the light given off by the lamp on my nightstand. However, it gave off enough light the see the slight nod that he gave as he stood up.

  I quickly sat straight up and folded my suit case top down, zipping it up before I stood and went to the bathroom. Niall followed after, kind of hesitant. "I have an extra toothbrush.", I stated and bent down, grabbing it from under the sink.

  "Thanks.", he muttered as he opened the package, pulling out the green one. I gave a smile as I placed toothpaste on them both, running it under the water.

  Once we were done, we quickly made our way back to the bedroom. I was already wearing a pair of trackies, so I just decided to keep them on as I climbed into the bed.

  This may be a little awkward tonight, but as long as he keeps his boundaries, we should be fine. I mean, were not really doing anything. We're being friends. Everything's gonna be alright.

  Niall stood by the side of the bed just staring down at me. I couldn't tell if he was just waiting for me to get situated first or if he was generally nervous about this. Ever since I've asked him to stay, his actions have been a little.. 'non- Niall like'.

  "Are you gonna lay down?"

  "Huh?",he looked up, meeting my gaze as I stared at him blankly.

  "Are you going to lay down?", I repeated myself, and I couldn't help but to chuckle a bit.

  "Here?" He raised his eyes, pointing to the bed. What the hell is going on with him? I nodded my head and he sighed, finally starting to move.

  "Unless you want the floor... I would say sleep in Gemma's bed, but her and Kayden have been here a lot lately with out me, and who knows what they have been doing. But take that too if you want.." I folded the purple blanket over my legs, moving some of the throw pillows onto the floor to open up some space.

  "Uh, no. I'll pass.", he chuckled. I watched as he sat on the edge of the bed, removing his jeans and shirts. Stop staring, Khloe. Think of Luke. Happy Luke, happy Khloe.

  Oh, morning better come fast.. I took a couple of the other pillows that I had left on the bed, creating a small barrier between us. 

  "Pillows?" he laughed. I nodded, smiling.

  "There are boundaries, my friend." I like calling him that. It's like mental proof to myself that we are actually trying to be friends. He shook his head lightly, finally scooting himself under the blanket as well. Only a half hour later than planned. Not bad.

  "Will you turn the lamp off, please?", I asked and in seconds, the dim lit room was now pitch black, all but the small green light illuminating the blurry numbers on the microwave.

  I sighed as rested into my bed, setting my phone alarm quickly. Once everything was taken care of, I pulled the covers up to my neck, resting back into the pillow wall.

  Now, as long as he keeps his hands to himself, we'll be all good. I smiled and closed my eyes, my breathing starting to slow. I felt him move on the other side of the bed, and the blood in my body suddenly froze as his feet tangled with mine.

  "Sorry.", he muttered and moved again; the warmth suddenly gone.

  "Uh, yeah. It's okay." With that, I took in a breath, relaxing myself once again, trying not to think about the fact that I was actually sharing a bed with Niall, as I let sleep take over.

**

    The annoying sound of my phone alarm buzzed in my ear and rang through my head, causing my eyes to slowly open. And to be honest, the first thing that I seen was not what I expected.

  I had to blink a few times to clear my vision, making sure that I was not still sleeping, but reality was soon clarified when I felt a tight squeeze around my back.

  Okay, this was not how this was supposed to happen. The pillows were there for a reason!

  "Niall...", I whispered, my lips only mere inches from his neck. His only response was pulling me in closer to him. "Niall.", I stated a little louder, trying to wiggle out of his grasp.

  "Shh.", he mumbled, burying his head into my hair.

  "Niall. Let me go. I need to get up." I pushed my hands against his chest, but the close proximity wouldn't allow me much space. "Niall."

  "Hm.. Khloe. Just go back to bed." He was silent for a few seconds before his eyes snapped open and the sudden pressure that he was forcing on me disappeared. "Oh my gosh, Khloe, I'm so sorry."

  I chuckled and nodded as I sat up, finally able to breathe. Niall then sat up too, and I couldn't help but to cringe a little at his purple cheek and his split lip that had dried blood over the crack. I didn't get a chance to ask him if it was sore or not though as he quickly glanced to my phone as it started to ring. He rolled his eyes at it, so I'm assuming that it's Luke calling.

  My thoughts were answered when he handed me the phone, and a familiar voice was suddenly pulsing through my ears.

  Niall ran a hand through his hair as he quickly stood up putting on his black jeans from yesterday, and made his way towards the bathroom.

  "H-hello?" Why did I just stutter?

  "Khlo. Are you ready? I was thinking we could get breakfast before I dropped ya at the airport?"

  "Uh, hi, Luke. You're in a happy mood, I see.", I chuckled.

  "Khloe?", Niall asked rather loudly as we came out from the hallway. I scolded him and help my finger to my lips. "Oh, sorry, can I take a shower?" I nodded, turning my attention back to Luke.

  "Who was that, babe?" As much as I hate pet names, when he uses them, I can't help but to get butterflies.

  "Huh, oh just the t.v.", I lied. Though, I'm not really sure why. Niall and I are friends now, and Luke's going to have to understand that. But it still feel weird.. like I'm sneaking around with Niall or something, although I am most definitely not.

  "Oh, anyways, what'd ya say?"

  "I would love to grab breakfast with you...but, I just woke up and I need to get ready. Maybe you could just come over here in a little bit?"

  "Uh, yeah. Sure, babe. See you in a little bit then?"

  "Most definitely.", I chuckled, hanging up. I glanced to the time on my phone, realizing that it's only 5:30. Why the hell was Luke up at five in the morning?

  My muscles tightened in my arms as I stretched them above my head and let out a small yawn.

   After I got out of bed and quickly made it, I opened the shades only to blind myself as the liquidity sun drenched the room in a bright orange and yellow. There weren't too many clouds and the sky seemed to be awake for the time it was.

  I slowly made my way to the kitchen, chuckling as Niall's voice rang through the thin walls. As I started a pot of coffee, I trained my ears to hear what he was humming, however gave up seconds later due to the failure of not knowing.

  Just as the coffee maker beeped to signal it was done, the bathroom door swung open, revealing Niall in his black jeans and his white t-shirt. The only thing that was really different from how I normally seen him was the fact that his hair was towel dried and glued to his forehead. I'd only ever seen him with his hair down once, like the first day that I had English, but I never realized how ...cute it was. He looked like a little kid, except the fact that he has a few tattoos that trace along his arms and chest, appearing just outside the collar of the shirt.

  "Thanks.", he sighed with relief, sitting at the counter.

  "No problem. What was that song you were humming?" I don't know why I wanted to know so badly, I guess just because it had been bugging me because I know the tune but not the words.

  "You wouldn't know it.", he quickly shut down. I creased my eyebrows at him, almost taken back. What does he mean I don't know it. I definitely know the tune. I've heard it somewhere.

  "What do you mean? I've heard the tune played before.."

  "Nothing. Just drop it." Okay then... "Anyways, are you excited to leave this hell hole?" I chuckled, letting his sudden attitude change slide for now.

  "It's not that bad.." I laughed as he gave me a sudden look of bewilderment. "Okay, yeah I'm glad.", I giggled. I'm excited to go home. To see my parents. It's been just a little over a month and so much has happened that it feels so much longer.

  "You'll enjoy it." he smiled as he welcomed the warm cup of coffee from my hands after I had finished making it. I quickly made a cup for myself then took a seat next to Niall.

   His blue eyes stared into mine as if he was staring into my past, my present, everything. Goosebumps formed on my skin as his lips twitched into a smile.

I smiled back, taking a drink. The rush of the liquid sliding down automatically warmed my body, leaving behind that small buzz of energy to help aliven me.

  "Wanna play a game?"

  "What kind of game?", I asked as I set the mug down, and pulled my hair into a pony tail.

  "I don't know, just something to help get to know each other better. I mean were trying this whole friends thing, and yet, I know barely anything about you." Niall has a good point. I know personal stuff about him, but nothing really about him. And, he knows almost nothing of me other than I am from Florida and that I have gotten drugged. Not much to say the least.

  "Uh, yeah. Okay so like twenty questions?" I remember this game being pretty effective when getting to know Gemma. Honestly seems like a pretty easy way to get to know someone quickly.

  "Sure, you go first."

  I smiled and brought my knees to my chest, curling my toes around the edge of the chair. "Okay.." I started off. "Favorite color?"

  "Green. You?"

  "No. You can't ask the same question after I just asked." I chuckled.

  "Fine. Favorite song?"

   "Count On Me by Bruno Mars." he made a face at my response and I couldn't help the easy grin that took over.

"Bruno Mars? What kind of music is that?" I leant forward and slapped the back of my hands against his shoulder.

"My music.", I chuckled. "Okay, back to the game. What's your favorite movie?"

  "What is this? That was what I was going to ask!" I laughed and he just smiled bigger, his teeth separating as his tongue ran over his front teeth. Is it bad that I still think that's attractive even though I'm with Luke?  "Okay, anyways, my favorite movie is probably.. promise you won't laugh when I say this?

  What kind of movie is it? A princess one, or something?  I nodded my head, awaiting his response with a smile. "It's probably Beauty and the Beast." Okay, I could not hold that one in. I burst into laughter, squeezing my my eyes shut as I leant my head forward. I was truly not expecting that!

  I almost spilt my coffee but managed to somehow save it from tipping. I looked back up, my eyes stinging with the small prickles of tears, and my stomach tight, to see Niall with a deep set frown.

  "Okay, come on. You can't expect me to not laugh at that. I was so not expecting you, big, bad, punk Niall to say that Beauty and the Beast was your favorite movie.", I laughed more, taking big breaths of air to calm myself.

  "Whatever. You asked. Moving on, next question. Favorite sex position?" And the perverted, punk Niall is back..

"I'm not answering that."

  "Why? You said your not a virgin, so cough it up.", he smirked. I know what he's trying to do. Either make me extremely uncomfortable, or actually cough up the fact that I am still a virgin.

"Okay, well, I think this game is done. We'll continue this some other time when I don't have to be ready in a half hour." With that, I hopped off the seat and made my way towards the bathroom, leaving Niall at the counter with a knowing smirk forming on his lips.

  I took a quick shower, and brushed my teeth before I stepped out, wrapping the towel tight around my body. I quickly came to realize that I didn't bring any clean clothes in here with me.

  Mentally cursing at myself, I sprinted out of the steamy bathroom with the towel tightly tucked under my arms.

  I am kind of glad but also embarrassed to see the sight that I first did when I did. "Uhhh, Niall?" He quickly spun around, his eyes wide. I blushed as he slowly closed my underwear drawer, his eyes never leaving me as they roamed my body up and down. I blushed harder, holding the towel even closer.

  I watched as he slowly backed away, sitting on Gemma's bed. I smiled and shook my head, walking to the closet. "Turn around.", I muttered as I dug out a pair of shorts, a frilly cream colored shirt, and a teal cardigan, along with a bra and pair of underwear from the drawer.

  I heard him huff before the weight on the bed shifted, signalling that he had moved. I glanced behind me just to check before I let the towel drop and quickly pulled the clothing over my body.

  "All clear.", I stated as I towel dried my hair, letting it fall in messy ringlets down my back. I grabbed my brush and combed through it before shoving the brush back into my already packed suitcase. I checked the clock for the time, noticing that it was already six thirty.

"Hey Khlo, I'm gonna head out, I guess.", Niall's voice spoke up from the bed and I looked over my shoulder to see him with his eyes trained to his phone screen.

  "Okay, Luke should be here soon anyways. He's taking me to the airport." Niall stood up, walking over to me. I held my breath for a second, thinking that he was going to kiss me or something as he leaned in. Stupid, I know. I'm with Luke now. Instead he leant to the side, giving me a half of a hug. I silently let the air out between my parted lips, biting the bottom as he pulled away.

  "See ya later then?" I nodded, watching as he put his shoes on. "Thanks for last night, by the way. For stopping me from doing something stupid, I mean." I nodded again, smiling.

"Do your bruises hurt? They're a little purple.", I chuckled. More like dark purple with specks of blood drawn to the surface.

"Not to bad.", Niall cracked a side smile as he opened the door. "And lastly, have a safe trip and a good break." He flashed me a small wink before he quickly made his way out, shutting the wood door after him.

    I let out a heavy sigh, dragging my suit case to the door. All I can say is that Florida better be ready for me because I am definitely ready for it.
