Red Lipstick

It had been a day since Harry came over to her house and Una walked out in the door after quite a long day at work to find Niall standing in the kitchen talking to Bridget. Una couldn’t help but feel weird that Niall was here to try to win her over from Harry. “Hi you two,” Una said finally speaking up letting them know she was home.

“Hi Una,” Niall said giving her a big smile.

“Erm Niall what are you doing here?” she asked as she walked towards him and Bridget.

“He stopped by so he could spend time with you,” Bridget said smirking as she walked passed Una. “I’m going to leave you two alone to hang out,” she said walking passed them off to her bedroom with a smile on her face.

The two of them were just silent as Una walked over towards the fridge and grabbed a beer. She didn’t even bothering if Niall wanted one she just hand him one. She takes a drink before looking over at Niall who is taking a drink himself. “Erm how was work?” Niall asked breaking the silence.

“It was okay, I finished some girls mermaid themed sleeve,” she said messing with the end of her hair. “Niall are you and Harry okay?” she asked knowing that she must have done a number on their friendship without really even meaning to.

“I think we’re going to be fine,” Niall said with a smirk before taking a drink of his beer.

“What exactly are we supposed to do now?” she asked.

“We could hang out here and watch a film,” Niall asked.

“Alright that sounds like a plan,” she couldn’t help but feel completely awkward about the situation. “Niall doesn’t this feel odd to you?” she said leading him towards the living room couch.

“Erm what do you mean?” he asked following her.

Una sat down on the couch trying to figure out the best way to word that she felt awkward hanging out with Niall with no intention of having sex with him. “I mean we never hang out we always tend to chat for a bit then rip each other clothes off,” she said looking over at him as he sat on the couch next to her.

“According to Harry I’m no longer allowed to rip your clothes off. He’s says that’s rule number one,” Niall said with a smirk as he held one finger up. “And I promised him I would follow the rules,” he said with a small laugh.

Una couldn’t help but laugh with Niall. She knew that this was a serious situation and all, but she couldn’t but like the fact that Niall was still able to laugh at it. “I’m glad to see that you two are still going to be friends.”

“Una can we please not talk about Harry anymore,” Niall asked as he ran his fingers over the top of Una’s hand lightly.

“Yeah we don’t have to,” she whispered staring into his blue eyes.

At first when everything happened Una planned to just write Niall off and try to have a serious relationship, but she was really starting to enjoy being around Niall. The rest of the day the two of them sat on the couch in Una’s living room talk about anything and everything, and watched a bunch of reruns of Doctor Who. Una realized she might like Niall more than she was willing to admit in the beginning.
