The Bad Boy Effect
Spaghetti
Niall's Point of View
Where are your parents tonight?" I asked as I got back in bed with her, sliding under the blankets quickly. It's always so cold in her house.
"My dad's on another trip and my mom has been having to work the night shifts again."
"Is your dad always gone?" I feel really bad for Ada. I know she acts like it doesn't bother her but whenever he's home she seems so much happier.
"Normally during the school year but once the end of May hits he'll be here almost the whole summer."
I pulled her in closer to me and she straddled her leg around mine. "It just sucks because I feel like I never see them anymore. It's even worse for Liam because he'll be graduating and might not be living with us."
"I thought he wanted to be a fire fighter."
"Yeah, but my mom is just like that. If he isn't living here he's pretty much in another country." She laughed quietly and closed her eyes. "My mom will be home around eleven tomorrow morning so as long as we get you out by then you should be fine."
"Does Liam no about...."
"Us having sex?" She felt my nod, "I don't think so. If he does it's because you told him. I'm sure he figures but I really don't know."
"Should I tell him?" There was silence for a few moments. Ada's voice began to crack from being so tired,
"If it comes up then yeah. Lying isn't going to help anyone." I kissed her on the forehead and we fell asleep peacefully.
Ada's Point of View
I walked upstairs and Niall was stretching his arms out and letting out a half cough, half laugh.
"What's so funny?" I asked as I walked into the room dressed for work. I handed him a coffee carefully and kissed him before sitting next to him. I love morning Niall; he's so cute with his hair all messy.
"You're just always up before me."
"I forgot I set my alarm for nine o'clock. I have work at noon." he looked around for his phone,
"It's ten. Do you want to take a shower?" I smiled again as he wiped his eyes and rubbed the side of his face.
"No it's okay. I'll take on when I get home."
"I get off at nine, if you want to hang out later tonight." he sighed, I guess not.
"I actually have work until eleven thirty tonight. We're preparing for some band tomorrow." I scrunched my nose; thinking about something off topic.
"Would you like it if I got someone to look at you guys perform? You're so amazing I think you guys could probably go somewhere with it."
"Really?"
"Mhmm! I actually already made some calls but I didn't want to do anything before asking."
"How long has this coffee been sitting? It's like you put ice cubes in it to cool it off and forgot to take them out." I laughed; ignoring his comment, "Have you talked to the other guys?"
"Just Liam and he said that it would be pretty cool from someone else's opinion. He absolutely loves it and said he wouldn't mind making music for his career."
"I think it sounds like a great idea."
"Yeah? And I know Harry loves the spot light. He always has."
"I got that vibe from him." We laughed.
"So just talk to the other's and I'll call the guy back."
"Okay love." I kissed Niall on the cheek and he walked to his car; leaving me for the day.
"Why did Niall just leave?" I gasped when the voice behind me spoke. I closed the door and turned around.
"Why are you trying to give me a heart attack? Jesus Liam."
"Are you guys having sex?" He crossed his arms and I noticed how awful he looks. I walked pass him and giggle. "This isn't a laughing matter Ada."
"Well the lipstick on your cheek his." He quickly wiped it off as he followed me to the kitchen. I poured my cold coffee in the sink before looking at him again. "I think I should be asking you if you're having sex."
His arms were still crossed and he glared at me as I stood like a statue with my smile.
"Yes Liam, we are. We've been dating for a while and how long have you known Danielle?" I lifted myself onto the counter. "And you didn't even tell me about her!"
"I know, I'm sorry." He dropped the topic of me and Niall. "I just met her and I've never really been serious with anyone. I really like her."
"She's gorgeous by the way." I wiped the smirk off of my face and smiled properly.
He looked away and blushed, "thanks."
"Well I have work so I will see you later tonight possibly. Did you still want me to call that guy about your band?"
"Yes! I talked to the guys about it last night and they love the idea."
"Cool." I grabbed my bag and threw it over my shoulder. "Bye Liam." I stood on my tippy-toes and kissed the side of his cheek that didn't have lipstick. "And wash your face before mom gets home." He laughed as I shut the door behind me.
Harry's Point of View
I sat up and got down from the table looking for Niall and Ada but they were heading out the door, hand-in-hand. Sophia was putting her dress back on and everyone was still clapping. She's so hott but I really wanted to get to know her. That's what Niall and Ada wanted.
"So do you want to go find a room?" Sophia whispered into my ear. No, I want to get to know you. Normally I'd jump right on that wagon but tonight I really do want someone to lean on. My mom just found out about my dad and I still haven't had anyone to talk to. Both of us are drunk so if I told Sophia maybe should wouldn't remember tomorrow.
"Yeah," I smiled, "let's go."
I lead her to a vacant room and she jumps on the bed, kicking off her shoes. I close the door slowly, trying to think of a way to stop her from wanting to just snog me. I thought she likes me? I sat on the bed and look at her intently; trying to figure out what she's thinking. Sex. That's what she's thinking.
"So are you having fun?" I tried to start a conversation.
"Of course." She came closer and sat next to me. I took a breath and took off my bandanna, shaking my hair out of my face. "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah, these parties normally get pretty crazy."
"Now I see why Ada never hangs out with anyone my age. If she did she wouldn't get to be here every weekend." Her words were sobering me up.
"Is that why you're here? To party? Do you not like me at all? Are you just using me?"
"Woah." Sophia put her palm face up and stopped me from my many questions. "I do like you Harry, I just thought you wanted a little bit more."
"I don't Sophia. I like you; I want to get to know you."
"She didn't smile or frown."
"I-uh, I just didn't know you were like that."
"Like what?"
"The only thing I've ever heard about you is hooking up with girls. 'Hit it and quit it'" She used quotations with her fingers. I stood up and put my hands on my head.
"I don't want that anymore, okay? I just want to talk. I want to get to know you as a person. I don't want your body." Wow, that came off extremely wrong. I ran over to her but she wouldn't look at me.
"Sophia I'm so sorry that came off completely wrong." When she wouldn't look at me I continued, "I just want an actual person to date. I want to take you out to dinner and have an anniversary and buy you a teddy bear and chocolate for Valentine's day."
I could see a faint smile. "Really?"
"Yeah, really." I grinned, hoping those cruel words didn't effect her. "So do you want to get out of here? I can take you home and tomorrow we'll go to dinner."
I stood up and put her hands in mine until she was up too.
"Alright let's go."
I woke up with a terrible headache and Gemma banging on my door.
"What Gemma?"
She opened my door and I covered my head with my pillow. She opened my blinds, "Get up Harold. Don't you have work today?"
"Not until two." She laughed,
"Well it's one fifteen so I suggest you get up." I sat up quickly and immediately regretted it as my head spun in circles.
"Thanks." She walked out and I slowly walked to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Hey Mrs. Reynolds." My voice was still a little groggy from the lack of sleep.
"Oh, hi Harry! I feel like I haven't seen you in ages!" She tapped me on my bum and I smiled at the older plump woman I have worked with for three years.
"Just a few days Mrs. Reynolds."
"Yes, well you are our best baker!" I smiled and put my apron on.
I worked for the five hours I was required for the day and left on a happy note. When I got home I texted Sophia.
To: Sophia 7:22 pm
Hey, it's Harry! I'm going to take a quick shower and then I'll be on my way to pick you up.
Perfect. Very subtle and sweet.
From: Sophia 7:27 pm
K, cnt wait.
Ahh, she was one of those. I can't stand when people text like that.
I arrived at her house in a nice, long sleeve plaid shirt I bought along with the white one from the other night. If her dad was home I couldn't risk him seeing my tattoos. I even got a small trim so I wouldn't have to wear a bandanna. Her dad would probably find it tacky. I decided I wasn't really changing for her; just my clothes.
"Hey Harry." Sophia smiled and I tried not to check her out as she said goodbye to her parents. Whatever she wore was stunning. Black pants, burgundy pants, sweaters, dresses, hats, whatever she wears....it just doesn't matter.
"Are you ready?" I put my arm out for her to grab onto and we pulled out of her large driveway. I wonder what her parents do? She models so they must be filthy rich.
We sat down in a little Italian restaurant I have never been to before--the price range just isn't for me--and I looked at the menu.
"So what do you like?"
"Probably just spaghetti." I laughed,
"That's exactly what--" I froze before I spoke another word. That's what Ada would get. "exactly what I was going to get." Yuck, I really don't like spaghetti very much. I'm more of a lasagna guy and even though they are pretty close to the same thing they just aren't.
"How was work?" She asked politely, taking a sip of her expensive fruity strawberry lemonade drink. Ada would've gotten water to save money.
"It was okay, just the normal. Today we made some cakes and my manager taught me how to make this really good icing."
"That sounds like fun! I had a photo shoot this afternoon and then went shopping with some of my friends."
"A photo shoot? I guess being a model is pretty awesome, yeah?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's so much fun! I've gotten to meet a lot of cool people over the years."
"How long have you been doing it?" Our food arrived and I stared at my spaghetti. I just can't help but think about worms when I eat it.
"Is everything okay?"
"Oh yeah! Sorry, I just zoned out." I chuckled a pretty fake chuckle. Ada would've caught on. "But yeah, how long have you been modeling?"
"Hmm, about thirteen years I suppose. My mom models so I wanted to follow her. I started out doing beauty pageants but they just weren't for me." We laughed and continued to eat.
I actually really enjoy Sophia's company and when she's not drunk she's a really nice person. Niall will be so proud.
I pulled into her driveway again. Am I supposed to kiss her? I slowly walked to her door and I helped her out. When we got to her door I looked at her and smiled.
"I had a lot of fun tonight Harry."
"Me too." Whatever, I'll just do it. I leaned in and she hugged me. I'm pretty sure she didn't notice I was trying to kiss her. I really hope she didn't realize it. "Well I'll see you at school on Monday?"
"Maybe. I might be traveling again!"
"Okay." I sighed and said goodbye.I turned the heat on and stopped at a red light, resting my head on the steering wheel. What the hell Harry.
Where are your parents tonight?" I asked as I got back in bed with her, sliding under the blankets quickly. It's always so cold in her house.
"My dad's on another trip and my mom has been having to work the night shifts again."

"I thought he wanted to be a fire fighter."
"Yeah, but my mom is just like that. If he isn't living here he's pretty much in another country." She laughed quietly and closed her eyes. "My mom will be home around eleven tomorrow morning so as long as we get you out by then you should be fine."
