Pieces (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 35

Niall's POV:

On the way to the hotel, Carrie fell asleep in my lap. I'm pretty sure she didn't sleep on the plane at all. I carried her into the hotel room that her and Kayli were supposed to be sharing. Louis and Liam carried the girls' luggage into the large hotel room. It was a rather nice hotel. We were staying in the same hotel as well, right down the hall. I would stay in my flat, but management said it would be easier this way.

As I laid Carrie onto one of the beds, her eyes fluttered open. She stretched out her arms over the pillow as she yawned, and then sat up.

"How long was I asleep?" She asked.

"Only about 30 minutes," I answered, and sat down in front of her on the bed. A concerning thought entered my mind because of how tired she looked. "Have you been sleeping any?"

"Where is everyone," she said, avoiding my question with one of her own.

"They went to meet the rest of the guys in our hotel room to watch some movie. Now answer my question. How many nightmares have you had this week?"

She hesitated, "Not that many, Niall. I'm used to them. And they aren't as long anymore."

She was trying to be optimistic about the whole nightmare situation, like she was about almost everything else. I sighed and pulled her closer to me. "I'm sorry. I just wish... I just wish I could take them away from you..."

I looked down at her face. She had her cheek pressed into my sweatshirt, and she was biting her lip. She eventually looked up at me with her gorgeous, big blue eyes. Our faces were inches apart, so I couldn't help but to kiss her. The kiss turned from soft and sweet, to passionate and heated. I ran my tongue over her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She granted immediately, and I explored her mouth. Our breathing became heavy and hot. She makes me feel so different. She makes me feel like no other girl has ever made me feel before. I nudged her down onto the mattress without breaking the kiss. I had my elbows on either side of her to support my weight. Carrie slipped her small hands under my sweatshirt and over my shoulder blades, making me feel icy-hot wherever she touched my skin. She pulled one hand out and slid it into my hair, tugging at the roots and making me moan lightly on her mouth. We rolled and switched places, with her on top of me, straddling my torso. Little kisses were sprinkled over my jawline by her lips, making me feel high with pleasure.

"I love you so hmm... So much," I moaned out.

Carrie licked and sucked the skin on my neck, leaving love bites. I was full on panting now. She left my neck and went back to my mouth, tugging my bottom lip softly between her teeth. She was making me crazy, and I didn't want her to stop. But in my mind I knew I wouldn't let it go any farther than this until I knew that she was absolutely ready for that.

She squeezed my shoulders with her small hands as she kissed me. "I love you," she said into the kiss, finally. We were both a panting mess once it ended. Carrie slid down me a little and laid her head on my chest. I twisted a loose strand of hair from her messy bun between my fingers while I tried getting my breathing back to normal. This girl would be the death of me.

Carrie's POV:

Wow. I'd never been so dominant in my life. I felt tingly all over, still buzzed from Niall. After a few minutes, I got my erratic breathing under control. For a minute there, I didn't think I'd stop, and I didn't want to. But I knew this wasn't the right time for that, and I didn't really know if I was ready. Hell, we'd only been together for a month.

I drew circles with my fingers over the goosebumps on Niall's neck. He was looking down at me, sprawled across him. We had a few more minutes of peaceful silence until we heard the key card thingy on the hotel door chime, signaling that someone was coming inside. I rolled off of Niall and laid next to him instead, not being one for PDA.
