Niall’s POV

“Nah, man. I heard she was screaming.” I smirked as I walked past some more rumors. All I said was that I slept with Katie and bam! Everyone was adding onto the story, but that’s how rumors worked. I climbed up the steps to my class and walked in to see her next to the only empty seat.

“Well if it isn’t my lucky day.” I smiled at her as I took my seat.

“Sod off, Horan.” Katie spat and pulled out her notebook.

“Is that really how you talk to me after last night?” I saw her ears get red and she whipped her head around to face me.

“I was drunk and didn’t have control over what I was doing, and you had no right to go and tell everyone you could. It’s rude and very disrespectful.” I swear I could see the devil jumping up and down in her eyes as she lectured me. “And since when is it okay to—“

“Good morning class.” Doctor Ward said as he entered the classroom. Katie glared at me before opening her notebook and getting ready to take notes.

After class I caught up with Katie, who was clearly trying to stay as far away from me as possible. “Look, Katie, I know what I did was probably wrong. At least let me make it up to you with a cup of tea or something.” She shook her head and kept walking, slowly picking up her pace. “Oh come on. You can’t turn down a cup of tea.” Nothing. “I’ll just make you, then.” I shrugged and picked her up by the waist.

“Put me down!” She yelled and kicked me. I ignored her (and the staring passerby’s) and kept walking. “If you put me down I’ll have the damn cup of tea!” I smiled in victory and placed her gently on the ground.

“Great. Come with me.” I smiled and led her back to my fraternity house. As soon as we entered, Katie regretted the choice when she heard all the cat-calls from the guys. “Alright guys, hey, knock it off.” I said as we passed them and went up to my room.

“Get in, Horan!” I flipped them the bird and shut the door behind me.

“I’m sorry about them.” I apologized and grabbed two mugs, two tea bags, and a pot full of water.

“It’s fine.” Katie whispered, her voice cracking a bit.

“Are you okay?” I asked as I set the water to boil. She nodded, but refused to look at me. “Are you sure?” She nodded again. “You’re lying to me.” She nodded again. “What’s wrong?”

“You!” She yelled and I was taken aback. “If you had just kept your fucking mouth shut, none of this would have happened!” There were tears rolling down Katie’s cheeks, and I instantly felt a pang of guilt in my chest. “You didn’t have to go and tell everyone we slept together! Do you know how many people have called me a whore today?! And your friends downstairs? That’s not the first time it’s happened today!” Katie wiped her face and let out a heavy sigh. “Look, it’s real sweet that you’re trying to apologize, but if you were really sorry you wouldn’t have done it in the first place.” Now she was crying… hard.

“Katie, I’m so sorry… I didn’t—“

“Yeah. I know.” She rolled her eyes. I tried to take a step forward to comfort her, but she just took a step away. “Do me a favor and try not to talk to me again, yeah?” She ran out the door of my room and I heard the guys out there whistling at her again and yelling profanities.

“Guys, I said to knock it off!” I yelled as I watched Katie run out the house. “What the fuck is wrong with you lot, eh!? Damn!” They all looked at me in shock. I walked back into my room and slammed the door behind me. I don’t even know why I was so angry. I’d only known the girl not even twenty-four hours!

Katie’s POV

“Why couldn’t he have just kept his mouth shut?” I cried as Autumn hugged me. “All of this is his fault. I mean, I slept with him, but did he really have to tell everyone? And why is it spreading like wildfire? This isn’t high school!”

“Shh, Katie, it’s okay.” Autumn said as she comforted me. “Niall’s just an ass.”

“He’s worse than an ass.” I sniffed and stood up. “Even an ass would have more respect than that.” I grabbed a tissue and blew my nose. “And to make it worse, his friends were cat-calling me on the way in and out.” I sighed and paced the room. “What did I ever do to him?”

“Absolutely nothing, love.” Autumn reassured me.

“Then why is he doing this?!”

“Because Katie, in case you hadn’t noticed, you’re kinda the girl to have on campus.” I rolled my eyes.

“Why does everyone say that?”

“Because you are! You may not notice it, but guys look at you all the time. They talk about how pretty you are and how nice you are. It’s so annoying.” Autumn laughed. “But Niall bragged because he’s the one who got you for a night. No one else.”

“It still doesn’t matter. He could have at least asked.” I sighed and jumped up onto my bed.

Niall’s POV

I looked up as Harry barged into my room and turned off my TV. “What the hell, man?”

“No, you’re gonna listen to me, Horan.” Was today ‘get mad at Niall’ day? I crossed my arms and listened to what he had to say. “Look, Katie’s one of my good friends and the fact that you went and told everyone about you two really upset her. She’s been called unspeakable things behind her back and it’s all because you went and opened your big fat mouth.”

“Man, I tried to apologize to her! She wouldn’t listen!”

“Yeah, well can you blame her!?” I shook my head. “You make this right.” Harry warned and backed out of the room, shutting the door behind him. I turned my TV back on before turning it back off and tossing the remote in frustration. Now I had to find a way to make it up to Katie without her storming out on me. Talk about mission: impossible.

All that week, I tried to get Katie’s attention in the four classes we had with each other, but she was having nothing to do with me. Finally I had to cut her off on her way to her dorm. “What the hell do you want?” She asked, crossing her arms.

“Look, I’ve been trying to say sorry to you all week, but you’re not listening to me. I’ll literally do anything to get you to forgive me. I’ll do your math for the rest of the semester, believe it or not, I’m pretty good in there… I’ll do your laundry, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll tell everyone I didn’t sleep with you.” That caught her attention.

“Really?” I nodded. “And what about being the only guy on campus who ever got with me? Apparently I’m the ‘girl to have’.” She rolled her eyes at that.

“I don’t care. It won’t bother me as long as you stop being mad at me.”

“Why do you care so much if I’m mad at you. I was just a one night stand.” Katie looked at me, wanting a serious answer.

“In all honestly, I don’t know, but it kills me having you mad at me.” She cocked her head to one side. “Seriously. It’s like having my best friend mad at me.” Katie nodded.

“Fine.”

“Fine what?”

“I’m not mad at you anymore.” I let out a sigh of relief.

“Awesome. I’ll tell everyone that it never happened.” I promised. “Within the next week, everything will be back to normal.”

“But…” Katie stopped my just before I ran off to my frat house. “You don’t have to take it back if you don’t want to. Just knowing that you were willing to is good enough.” She shrugged.

“Really?” I raised an eyebrow at her and she nodded. “I’ll tell them anyway. It still put a dent in your reputation, and this will help smooth it out a little bit.” She smiled at me and checked her watch.

“I’ve gotta go meet my friend for lunch. Maybe we can hang out later.” I nodded and watched as she ran off towards her dorms. I think I just gained me a new friend.

Katie’s POV

Niall was right. Within the next week, the rumor had been cleared and everyone thought he had made it all up. That still made me feel bad, though. Now he was the one being picked at. One day at dinner when a guy passed by us and made a remark at Niall, I had finally had enough of people being rude towards him, I grabbed his hand and led him out of the cafeteria. “Where are we going?” He asked me.

“We’re going back to your room and having sex, dammit.” I mumbled and Niall stopped in his tracks.

“No! We just got this whole thing cleared up!”

“Yeah, but you’re my friend and I don’t like seeing people picking at you anymore than you liked them picking at me.” I said crossing my arms.

“Katie—“

“You’re not arguing with me.” I protested and started dragging him off to his room again. Why he was having such a problem with having sex with me, I had no idea. He loved sex as much as the next frat boy. When we were in his room, Niall sat me down on the bed and pulled a chair up and sat in front of me.

“What are you doing?”

“A favor for a friend.” I shrugged.

“This isn’t a favor, this is getting you a bad reputation, and don’t say anything about my reputation; it’s already bad.” I shook my head. “Katie, listen to me. You’ll end up regretting it.”

“No I won’t!” I nearly yelled. “I can make decisions for myself now have sex with me, dammit!” Niall looked at me curiously. “Come on, Niall.” I sighed. “I know you liked it as much as I did that night, and you can’t deny it.” I crossed my arms. A sly smirk spread across his face. “Yes, I enjoyed it… best I’ve ever had, actually, but the point is…” I was cut off by a pair of lips on mine. I sat there shocked for a moment, but soon began to kiss him back. Niall cut the kiss and locked the door before walking back over to me and laying me down on the bed and crawling on top of me, unbuttoning my blouse. I lifted his t-shirt over his head and kissed down his chest as one of his hands worked at my bra, the other at my jeans. I pulled down his sweats and boxers before he kicked off his sandals. I quickly tore off the rest of my clothes and pulled Niall down on top of me to kiss him. Niall crawled off of me and pulled me to the edge of the bed. “What are you doing?” I asked as he kneeled in front of me.

“I believe I told you ‘another time, princess’.” He winked at me and pushed my shoulders down onto the mattress. Niall blew on my heat, causing me to shiver. “Have you ever done this?” He asked. I nodded and I heard the smirk in his voice as he said: “If you think the sex was the best you’ve ever had, brace yourself.” I shivered at his words before I felt his long tongue run along my slit. I gasped and grabbed fistfuls of the duvet cover. He chuckled before I felt his tongue working on me.

“Holy… shit…” I breathed as his tongue moved in and out of me, his finger making small figure eights on my clit. I grabbed fistfuls of his hair and pushed his head closer, wanting more. Niall took his tongue out of me and wrapped his lips completely around my heat and began to suck. I grabbed a pillow and placed it over my head, trying to muffle my moans. Suddenly, Niall’s middle finger slipped inside of me and I had to bite into the pillow in order to keep from screaming. Just as I was about to reach my high, Niall stopped. “What the fuck, man?” I panted as he put me back more on the bed and crawled on top of me.

“I didn’t want you to finish just yet.” He admitted and thrusted into me, both of us letting out a long moan as he did so. “Damn, you’re tighter than I remember.” He grunted as he slowly began to thrust in and out.

“Fuck.” I groaned and buried my head into the crook of his neck as he moved faster. “Shit, Niall.” I moaned and reached my high without any warning. Niall moved faster and faster, slamming into me, helping me reach a second high just as he reached his first. “Holy fuck that was better than I remember.” I sighed as Niall pulled out and laid down next to me.

“Damn… you’re good.” I shrugged at his compliment. “Katie… this idea may sound crazy, and you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but what if we were… you know… friends with benefits?”

“God, Niall, have some class.” His face fell. “The term is ‘fuck buddies’.” I laughed. “Sounds good to me… as long as you do that every damn time.”

“Of course.” Niall chuckled as I sat up and gathered my clothes. Niall watched as I got dressed and bit his bottom lip as I pulled my skinny jeans up over my bum. “Oh one condition, though.” I looked over at him. “You’re mine, and mine alone.” He said seriously, tugging on my hand. “No one else can touch you.” I raised an eyebrow at him. “Deal?” He asked.

“I’ll see you tomorrow in class.” I winked, avoiding the question, and threw my hair up into a ponytail. I’ve known this guy for two weeks, and I was already his fuck buddy. There’s a way to start off sophomore year…
