The Bad Boy Effect
Rubber Ducky
Niall's Point of View
Even though I really never see Ada at school, I could tell she was avoiding me. She stuck around Oakley like they were attached by the hip but I think they might have been that way before I came into the picture. It's Ada's first day off since the beginning of the week and I want to do something that doesn't include everyone else. I know I pissed her off yesterday so I should probably make up for my stupidity.
"Come in," I said, as I stared at my phone; debating whether I should text Ada or not.
"Hey, it's El." She was hesitant but I wasn't going to screw things with El too.
"Hey, come in cuz! How was your day?" She immediately smiled and sat on my bed with me. I heard all about her day from the moment we stepped out of her car until this very moment. She was the happiest and most innocent girl I've ever met--I really hope she never changes.
"Oh! And guess what! Oakley is taking me out tonight! We're going to eat dinner and then see a movie. That's what I was going to ask you about. What should I wear?" I couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you really asking me what you should wear? Maybe you could call Ada. I'm sure she could help."
"She's with Oakley and I can't ask her while they're together."
"Hmm, well what do you have?" I walked into her room with her for the first time since I got here. I really haven't spent time with Elisha at all. How could I be such a terrible cousin? Her room was a light blue and she had one wall that was covered with pictures. There were a few of us when we were little and then most of the rest were with her friends back home. I looked at the outfits she laid on her bed. I have no idea what I'm looking at. "You know, I think it all looks really great El."
"But what looks the best?" I stroked my chin, what would I want Ada to wear?
"How about those dark skinny jeans? And then maybe that yellow shirt?"
"The one that hangs off of the shoulder?"
"Uhh, sure." Whatever that meant.
"Thank you so much Niall! You're the best!" She gave me a huge hug and then kicked me out so she could get ready.
I walked back into my room and grabbed my guitar. I didn't want to be the one to text Ada. If she wants to see me she'll let me know. I'm pretty sure there isn't a party going on because everyone's parents are home this weekend and someone would have told me.
I wrote some lyrics down and played some more, and then I wrote more lyrics. I smiled as I played, this was the first time since I got the guitar seven years ago I have actually sat down and tried to write a song.
I figured it out
saw the mistakes of up and down
meet me half way
No, not half way. Meet me, ahh I know.
I figured it out
saw the mistakes of up and down
meet in the middle
there's always room for--
My phone stopped my thought process, ughh I was doing so well. Ada?
"Hey, what are you up to?" I looked at my watch: 6:30. Did she want to hang out?
"Oh, just playing around with some lyrics." There was an awkward pause.
"That's cool. I just left work and--"
"I thought you didn't have work today."
"I didn't, Amy called and asked if I could cover part of her shift." Maybe she would have called me sooner. "Look, I want to apologize for last night. I was pretty mad at you and I think I took it too far." I held back my sarcastic comments. "I was thinking maybe we could hang out tonight?" Maybe I should say no--she was pretty ridiculous last night and I've tried to be nicer lately. I backed off of her and Harry and-- "Niall?" I guess my thoughts were carrying on for too long.
"Yeah, what do you want to do? I'm not doing anything illegal though." She breathed heavy into the phone, laughing.
"Fine! We can do whatever you want though. You can come over if you want." No one would be here tonight; maybe she could come here. I don't want to risk any of the guys showing up with Liam.
"Do you want to come over to my house? No one will be here so we can watch tv on the big screen." That was an awful cover up. I really just want to kiss her again, I miss her soft touch.
"Okay, I can be over soon if you'd like." I needed to shower before she came over.
"How about you leave in nine minutes."
"Nine?"
"Yes, now don't back talk me." I said sarcastically and hung up.
"Hey Ada," I opened the door and she walked passed me. She's so beautiful. "Do you want me to take your jacket?"
"Yeah, it's really cold outside." She giggled as she slid her shoes and jacket off at the same time. Underneath she wore a sweater that hung off the shoulder--like El was telling me.
"What's that?!" I asked quickly and pulled her shirt down a little further where it was already sagging. "Is that a tattoo?" She was playing me all night. I can't believe she beat me at my own game. She laughed and pulled her shirt back up.
"Yeah, do you like it?"
"You already have one?"
"You look cute when you're surprised." Normally she would say something like this in a sarcastic smart ass tone but it was sweet. She was really trying not to be a bitch tonight. She was acting like the Ada I first met. Not the one I turned her into. My face was red,
"You tricked me!" Ada nodded and tried not to laugh. It was a failed attempt though.
"I got you really good, didn't I?" I furrowed my eyebrows and scrunched my nose.
"I reckon so." I put my arm around her and we walked into the living room. The fire place was still on so the room was pretty cozy. "So we can watch a movie or we can play a game." I pointed to the two different options and felt her presence very close to my right. I looked at her and she took a step forward.
"Your eyes are so pretty when the fire glows behind you." I felt butterflies in my stomach. This is the first girl I've really ever liked. All the others I was forced to be with by Jumper or I dated them because everyone else had girlfriends. This was much different. I tried to stay calm.
"Thanks Ada," I smiled and stepped towards her. I really want to kiss her. I'm not sure if she wants to kiss me or if she's just being nice because she was a pain in my ass last night. I really can't wait anymore, I caressed her cheek and pressed her lips against mine. She didn't resist or tense up--she felt loose and comfortable. So did I.
I found her arms around my waste and there was no room between our bodies. This was the second time we've kissed; the first time in the rain, the second by fire--both very romantic scenarios. She smiled and I kissed her nose.
"You're freezing."
"It's pretty cold outside." I turned around and pulled her up on my back. She laughed,
"What are you doing?"
"I'm giving you a piggy-back ride." She laughed again and tightened her arms around my neck. I ran her upstairs and dropped her on my bed. In my closet I grabbed my favorite blanket.
"You know you're holding the most hideous rubber ducky blanket I've ever seen."
"Don't make fun! It's the warmest you'll ever use!"
"Sorry, sorry!" I threw it on top of her, covering her whole body. She laughed and I crawled under with her.
"Warmer now?"
"Maybe a little too warm." I thought about it. I know she's wearing a tank top underneath her sweater. Should I do it? I sat up with her, still under the blanket, and slowly pulled her sweater over her head. When she didn't resist I continued until it was on the ground. She grabbed my neck with both hands and pulled me on top of her. She smelled like cucumbers--but not in a bad way; it was a sweet smell.
"Are you still mad at me?" I asked her as we kissed.
"No, you were right."
"I was right?"
"I was on my period dumby." I laughed,
"So you're not anymore?"
"Yesterday was my last day." I think she felt my smile, "Don't get any ideas."
"I wasn't thinking anything!" I whispered in her ear and kissed her underneath it. She sighed and I continued, getting a little lower until I reached her neck.
"No hickeys." She said as she sighed again with some laughter. "I can't go to work with any hickeys." I looked at her, she's beautiful, so beautiful. I went for her lips again as I ran my hands from her shoulders to her hands. Our fingers intertwined and I pinned her down with our hands above her head. I teased her a few times, lightly running my lips over hers. When I wouldn't kiss her she lifted her head until I connected with her again. Her laugh is peaceful, it makes all of my other problems not seem to matter.
ding, ding
Ugh, my phone. I ignored it and made sure Ada knew I didn't care to answer.
ding, ding
"Why don't you just check it?"
"It's okay, let it ring." It rang again and I got up, on the verge of throwing it across the room. I grabbed my phone from my night stand and unlocked it while Ada rubbed my back; calming me down. This was not happening right now.

Wanna make some music?
You have got to be kidding me
From: Styles 8:25 pm
Oh and bring your guitar. I have some lyrics.
From: Styles 8:27 pm
Sorry mate, last one....Zayn said he's bringing drinks if you wanted to bring something too.
I put my phone down and looked at Ada. "Your boyfriend wants to go on a date with me." She glared with those oceanic eyes. I hadn't seen her mad all day, I really can't help myself. But she didn't get mad. She smiled.
"I'm starting to think you have a crush on him--my boyfriend that is." She got on her knees and massaged my shoulders, "He's really sweet and has the sexiest dimples I've ever seen. Oh and his tattoos, I just can't help my--"
"Stop it."
"You started it Niall." I did start it.
"Just let me kiss you." She laughed and I laid her back again so we could continue.
Even though I really never see Ada at school, I could tell she was avoiding me.
