Remember When?
Let's Play
Clary's POV
I still can't believe Ryan. If he has been working towards this career opportunity for months now…why would he get involved with Penny knowing that he would have to end it eventually. It just didn't make sense to me. I didn't even talk to him at work today. I just finished my show and left. I'm stuck in some traffic right now. I hope Penny isn't too mad at me for convincing Harry to pick her up. I figured she would need something to distract her, and my pancakes can only do so much. So why not have her celebrity crush pick her up from work? It seemed like a good idea at the time. Until I got some angry texts from her. Oh well. I had other things on my plate right now, like this new mystery job. Which my boss has yet to tell me what it is exactly. He said that he was still negotiating some details and would tell me soon. Like what the fuck does that even mean? Finally I get to my apartment building. I get up to my floor and hear giggling through the door. I try to quietly open it…and I did. So I sneak in and peek around the corner to find Harry and Penny laughing in the kitchen. Oh yea I'm such a good friend. "Honeyy I'm hoooome." Suddenly the giggled stopped and Penny came over to hug me. I decide to play dumb and pretend I don’t know Harry is here.
"Harry found your work okay right?" Penny smiled and nodded, "Great! Okay come on and help me pick out an outfit! Oh Nicole said she's free tonight to hang out if--"
"Harry is still here Clarissa!! So shhh." I smile and peek over her. I wave at Harry but still drag Penny to my room. I shut the door and force her to sit down on my bed. I was smiling ear to ear right now.
"Wipe that grin off Wolf. I'm still mad at you for sending him to pick me up! Of all the people why him?!" She was like whisper yelling at me.
"Because I know you liiike him. So is he keeping you company tonight? What were you two doing in the kitchen?" I wiggle my eyebrows which gets me a slap on the arm. But then she just smiles. I can tell she's happy and has somewhat forgotten that Ryan is a rake.
"Nothing!!! We were just making brownies." Penny rolled her eyes at me and crossed her arms over her chest. She just stands up and starts looking through my closet for something to wear. She pulls out a skirt and nice top but I shake my head. Niall was going to be here soon. Finally Penny emerges with a pretty blue dress and a huge smile on her face. "This is the winner! Now time for makeup!" I quickly get changed and head to the bathroom for Penny to do her magic. There was a knock on the door. "HAZ COULD YOU GET THAT?!" I yell from the bathroom. After about 15 minutes of sitting on the toilet while Penny 'dolled' me up. I get out to see Niall on the couch talking up a storm Harry. Penny clears her throat and both their heads snap up. Niall's eyes grow wide and he just gapes at me. While Harry just whistles, which got him a punch from Niall. He scrambled over here, soaking me up. "Clary…you look…"
"I know." Penny says while going over to the kitchen. I just roll my eyes at her. Niall grabs my hand and tells Penny to not expect me back home until tomorrow. Then we head down to his car. I stop right before we get out of my building. "Why won't I be back tonight? Are you kidnapping me?" Niall just chuckles and shakes his head.
"No Clary. Plus its not kidnapping if you go willingly now is it?" He just grabs my hand and kisses it. I just look at him, but I follow him out to his car. We get in and I notice that he isn't wearing his crutches. I was about to scold him then I spied them in the back. I look out the window, I have no idea where we are going. I never go on this side of London. Its all posh and too expensive. Granted my dad was loaded but my mom and I try not to waste money. My mind drifts back to her…I should really call her tomorrow and ask how everything is going. "Clary are you even listening?" I snap out of my thoughts and look at him. We stopped moving and were outside one of the fanciest restaurants in London. "We are going here?!" Niall just rolled his eyes but got out of the car. I opened my door while he was putting on his crutches.
"Maybe if you were listening you would've heard me." I blush and mumble an apology. We get in and they great Niall warmly then lead us to a table. I take one look outside and I see a swarm of press. I gasp and Niall looks at me then where I was looking. He frowns and grabs my hand. "Hey don't pay any mind to them baby. Just you and me okay?" I just nod and look back at him. He points out the good stuff on the menu but I still glanced to see fans and press swarming outside.
Niall's POV
I point out all of my favorites on the menu but Clary was distracted by the mass of people outside. I sighed and looked at her once again over my menu. She was studying her menu very carefully. Our waiter comes over and eyes Clary for a long time. "Are you ready to order Sir? Miss?" Our waiter, Mark, hasn't even looked at me. He is too bust ogling at my girlfriend. "Clary, babe you've decided." I smile at her and she just points for me to order first. After I order my usual, she orders. "I'll have what he's having." Mark just nods and walks away. I snort and cross my arms watching him leave. Then I hear Clary's melodic laugh, so I look at her. "You are cute when you get jealous." She is smiling at me. My eyes trail down her body once again then they snap up to her eyes. "Well he shouldn't be staring at my girlfriend like that. I should request a new wai--"
"Who said I was your girlfriend?" She was smiling and I could sense the challenge in her voice. I shouldn't figured she was going to make me work for this.
"Well Clarissa…after tonight your face will be all over the place. 'Who is Niall's new girl?' I would like to see how you handle that." She narrows her eyes at me then she just smiles.
"So you plan on blackmailing me eh Horan?" She was making a huge joke out of this. But it seriously wasn't a joke. Her face along with mine will be all over the place tomorrow. Fans will send hate, the press may or may not say rude things. I just want her to be prepared for will happen when we date. "No. Just preparing you. Ah here comes our food!" We both look at it while they set stuff down. Honestly the rest of the night was perfect. We were laughing and talking about anything just like how we did back in the day. Back when I thought Clary and I were inseparable. Back when I didn't even think about us falling apart. We finished up and I paid. Now came the interesting part of our evening. "Ready to leave love?" She nodded then stopped at the doors. Oh yea there were flashing cameras everywhere. A nice flash attack if you will. I take a deep breath then push my way through. I hear Clary yelling to wait up and to stop since I'm the crippled one so I should be behind her. But her voice is lost in the questions being screamed at us. 'Who is she Niall?' 'Does Barbara know?' 'Is she just a rebound?' 'What's her name?' 'Kiss for the camera!' Finally I get to the car and see Clary pushing her way through with a pretty determined face on. She gets by my side and hops into the driver's seat. "Hey I'm supposed to--"
"Get in the fucking car Niall!" I just go hop in. Then she speeds off. I look over at her, she doesn't seem overwhelmed, more pissed than anything.
"Clary I'm sorry about that…I…I should've warned you more or something. I should've gotten Paul to come with us…I'm sorry babe." She seemed to of relaxed at my words and just nodded, eyes focused on the road. She pulled over and stopped. Clary turned to look at me, "I don't know exactly where your place is from here soo…" I quickly peck her lips then tell her where to go. We get there and I tell her where to park. She hops out and looks at my other car. I don't have any souped up cars like Liam, Zayn, and Harry. Just two was good enough for me. I grab my crutches and we go up. One more week of these dumb things then I am home free. We get up to my place and I quickly dump the crutches to the ground. "Niall why did you want me to stay?" I have a thousand reasons why.
"Because I am never letting you go. I know it will be hard on us but--" I felt her lips on mine and her hands tangle into my hair. I wrap my arms around her torso and pull her into me. God she fit me so perfectly…honestly I found it hard to picture my life without her. I always knew somehow, someway I would get her back. And now well I don't plan on ever letting go. I will fight until my last breath. She stop kissing me and snuggles into my chest. I kiss the top of her head. Then she just runs to my living room, flopping down on my couch. I go to run after her then there's a knock on my door. I open it to find that freak, Matt on the other side. So I just slam the door. I peek out the hole and see him still standing there. Then Clary comes and pokes my side, making me jump. "Who's at the door handsome?" I just step aside for her to look through and she gasps. "But how did he…Niall…I'm…" She stops talking and flies into my arms. I stroke her hair and pull her close to me.
"Shhh Clary its okay baby…I'm here now." She just nods but stops hugging me.
"I should go talk to him…tell him to stop." Then she opens to door before I can even protest.
Clary's POV
I get out, praying Niall doesn't follow. Because I know that would just make things worse. Matt perks up and runs over for a hug. Which I deny. "Matt…this needs to stop…why are you here?" He seems to be upset by my words. But I don't really care anymore. He has crossed the line…and then some. "He is no good for you! He will hurt you…I came here to tell you that." I sigh and run my hands through my hair. This is so not what I need right now. I look back up to find him tracing my body with his eyes. But it doesn't make me feel the way I feel when Niall looks at me like that. I feel very exposed now. Stupid Penny, making me wear a dress. "Matt you need to go okay? The only one who is going to get hurt is you. Thank you for warning me but I know Niall better than you." His brow furrows and shakes his head.
"I won't get hurt because I know you feel what I feel. I love you Clarissa!" Oh god kill me now. I'm right by the door and I can hear Niall laughing on the other side. No sex for him for like 3 months now. "Well that's very nice but I don't like you like that Matt. For god's sake you are just a kid!"
"I am not! I am only 2 years younger than you!" What if I just run through the window and fall to my death?
"Matt. You are too young. I can't and I won't. I'm with Niall okay? Please go." I turn around and reach for the handle and I swear I hear him whisper, "You'll regret this Clarissa Wolf. You will be mine." I hear the elevator ding so I go into Niall's place. He's on the other side smiling at me. I just glare at him then walk past. He snags my waist and pulls me into him. He starts kissing down my jaw. I push him off. "Come on Clary! We should celebrate you getting rid of that freak!" I shake my head.
"No. I heard you laughing Niall, its not that hard to hear. It wasn't funny! It was creepy. I'm going to go home." Then the next thing I knew, Niall was throwing me over his shoulder. I screamed and slapped his butt, which is very nice still. Then I was plopped down on his bed. "HEY! Not cool Horan!" He just rolled his eyes then threw me one of his shirts and sweats.
"You are staying here. Of course I was planning on us sleeping with no clothes but I'm not letting you go home with Matt lurking about." I frown at him. He can't tell me what to do.
"But I have--"
"I don't care. You are sleeping here so I know you're safe." I stick my tongue out at him, which gets me a chuckle. I just stand up and start to take off my dress. Me, being the tease I am, decide to play with Niall. "Hey Ni…I can't get the zipper…could you help me?" I swear I could hear him gulp and fumble around with it. He slowly unzips my dress. Then he backs away, mumbling to himself. I slip on his sweats, tying them tight since they were huge on me. Then I decide to just sleep in my underwear, screw pants. I take them off then throw on the shirt. Then I take of my bra and climb onto his bed. He turns around in shorts, just shorts, showing off his toned upper body. Man I forgot how glorious his body was. "Jesus Clary! How am I supposed to sleep with you like that?!" His eyes danced around then he picked up my clothes and folded them. I smile waiting for him to realize I am braless. "CLARISSA DIANA YOU LITTLE TEASE!" He whirls around, I see lust in his blue eyes. I know he's fighting to control himself. I wonder when was the last time he had sex…I hope he didn't have sex with that bimbo Barbara. Of course I did have sex with my last boyfriend but that was over a year ago. I just pretend to be innocent and shrug then climbing under the sheets. I feel the bed dip, signaling he got in. Then arms wrap around me pulling me close. He kisses my cheek, trailing down to my jaw. I sigh and close my eyes. He moves to my throat and playfully nips, a moan escapes me lips. I feel him smirking, "You like that baby?" His hands start to trail up my thighs. My hands trail down to his chest the push so I'm on top of him. I smile down at him then start to kiss down his abs. "Clarissa…fuck." I roll my hips again then slide off of him. His eyes pop open and he rolls on top of me. "Why'd you stop?" He was caressing my cheeks with his thumbs.
"I just don't want to do it yet…I want it to be special." He smiles at my words, eyes shining. He quickly pecks my lips then wraps his arms around me. He starts singing me to sleep like he used to do. God he's too perfect. He would never hurt me. My hand goes the charm and I smile. I roll around and bury myself into him. I think he assumes I'm asleep because I hear him whisper, "You're mine and I promise to be yours until the day I die. And I hope that I can be everything you need because you're my everything. I love you princess. Sweet dreams." I instantly fell asleep after that. I forgot how easily I fell asleep when he was by me. I want to stay like this forever…I never want to be without him again. Because honestly, those were the worst three years ever. Sure college was a blast but I would always find myself wanted to text him or call him just to tell him something. Now…I'm fighting until the end.
I still can't believe Ryan. If he has been working towards this career opportunity for months now…why would he get involved with Penny knowing that he would have to end it eventually. It just didn't make sense to me. I didn't even talk to him at work today. I just finished my show and left. I'm stuck in some traffic right now.
