Chapter 43

“You still think I don’t want you as much as you want me?” I breath heavily, my chest rakes up and down.

She rolls her eyes, looking down, avoiding my eyes as her cheeks flush in the shade of pink making me giggle at her.

“Hey,” I lift her chin up, to attempt her eyes on looking straight into mine. “I need you more than I want you.” I say softly before giving her full pink intimidated lips a tender-hearted peck, indicating my feeling towards her.

“God,” She bites her lips, seeming to hold her smile. 

“What is it?”

“I have school tomorrow,” She pouts her full lips, making me addicted by how it tastes.

“Oh.”

“I was thinking that you should stay here but, well, I have school.” She sighs.

I feel myself smiling. “Why can’t I? I can drive you to school.” I offer.

“If you wont mind . . . ?” She scrunches her nose.

“No, no ofcourse not.” I say as I lead her to stand up. “Up for cuddling?”

“I thought you’d never asked.” She laughs.

We make up by cuddling into each others’ arms and rambling stuffs quietly and softly behind layers of comforters and it’s odd that minutes ago, we were in our unyielding attitude and now we’re here, sharing our thoughts and feelings to each other. There’s no place as comfortable like this. The place where I can be with someone that I finally grow fond of spending time with. I have never felt this way and it’s fucking amazing. I have cuddled before, mostly after sex, but I felt nothing but tired and in need of sleeping. But after we cuddled days ago at my apartment that time when we talked deep shits on my couch, it felt more than comfortable and satisfying even if it’s for a little while. And when we got to snuggle into each other 2 hours ago until we both fell asleep, it felt amazing and I feel loved. I want to be able to do that for the rest of my life.

“Niall?” She softly calls me by my name.

“Yeah?”

“My mom texted me, she said she will be here around 20 minutes. Is that fine with you?” She turns her body so she’s  facing her face to me as her elbows are supporting her weigh.

I tuck her hair behind her ears. “It’s more than fine to me.” I wink.

“Yeah, right.” She laughs and puts her arm around my body again. “My mom probably will freak out to see you here. But, in a good way.” She chuckles loudly as I laugh at her statement. “Hey,” She lifts her head to see my full face. Her brown eyes are glistening that I can’t stop myself from looking at her.

I mumble in attempt to ask her.

“Try not to fart. We’re on the same bed and covered by blankets, so, it’s not going to be pleasing.” She giggles as she buries her head on my body.

“I can’t promise you that one.” I smirk.

She snorts and slaps my stomach.

“Okay, okay.” I surrender and continue to make circles on her waist.

MELANIE RICHARDS

He makes circles down my waist and to my thighs and then up to my stomach by sneaking into my t-shirt and it sends me shivers even before he’s able to touch my bare stomach with his fingers. He then strokes my stomach and makes his way to my belly button. His touch is too gentle and intimidating. Then he makes his way up and touches the rubber of my bra then slowly traces down to my belly, making stable circles against it.

“Melanie. . .” Niall whispers.

“What?” I ask without facing his charming face.

“What are we now?” He suddenly asks and stops making circles from the inside of my t-shirt. I swiftly shift my face to his face, arching my brows. He looks at me with full curiousity.

“I don’t know.” I bite my lower lip and stare down at his chest. “What would you call me as?”

“I would like you to be my girlfriend. Is that fine with you?” He crooked smile, nervously.

“I don’t think so, Niall.” I mutter. “I- I just don’t want to. . . I don't know.” 

I don't want to get hurt.

“Why? I will never have the intention on hurting you.”

“No, I know, but somehow we will break up and call each other names other than boyfriend-girlfriend.” I sigh.

“Hey, boyfriend or girlfriend are just names. Even if you’re not my girlfriend anymore, you will always be my baby.” He lifts my head up to look up to his face and gives me a kiss on my nose then to my lips. It’s really sweet of him to say that, I feel the butterflies inside are throbbing like crazy.

“As long as you don’t have to call me ‘bae’.” I chuckle and follows by his laugh.

“Well, as long as we’re together I’d like to call you as my girlfriend so no one can mess up with you.” Niall pouts, stroking my hair back gently.

And then I fall asleep slowly.
