10.) Waking Up Is The Hardest Part

Chapter Ten: Waking Up Is The Hardest Part

I never would have thought that it would take the guys so long to get situated for a movie. All of them decided that they were hungry, so we ordered a few pizzas. Then, the boys decided to switch into something more comfortable, which took forever for them to change. When I thought we were finally ready to sit down and start the movie, Zayn realized that he had lost his phone somewhere in the room.

We are all looking for his phone when Niall walks up to me. “Would you like a pair of sweats to change into? I can go get you a pair of mine if you’d like.”

Sweat pants sounded so good to me. The shorts I was wearing were starting to get uncomfortable and I had noticed that the room was becoming chilly. “That would be great”

“Follow me then.” Niall flashes me a grin. I do as he tells me and follow behind him into one of the smaller bedrooms. I notice that the black backpack from before is sitting in a chair beside the bed. He has a few clothes strewn around the room, but other than that it was nice.

He grabs his suitcase and pulls out a pair of dark blue sweat pants. Rummaging around a bit more, he also retrieves a light grey hoodie. “’Ere ya go. I’ll leave ya ‘ere to change. You can leave ya clothes on me bed.”

“Okay, thanks.” I tell him with a grin.

“You’re very welcome, love.” With a wink, he leaves the room. I slide the shirt he let me borrow of and go to replace it with the hoodie. I fight the urge to smell his shirt like I did before as I put it on. I still can’t help but notice the same spicy scent though. Taking my shorts off, I quickly pull on Niall’s sweats. Jeez these things are comfy, I think to myself.

Tying the drawstring on the pants, I walk out the door to see what the boys are up to. When I reach the living room, I see that Jess and Harry have finally decided to join us. Jessica looks a little pink in the face still, so I can only imagine what went down on their little trip.

Giving a smug grin towards Jess, I walk up beside Zayn. “Find your phone?”

“Yeah. Turns out it was in my pocket the whole time.” He has an embarrassed look on his face.

“Can we get this movie started now?” Liam asks impatiently.

“Sure, I don’t see why not.” Louis replies. With his answer, we all make our way to the large bedroom. The biggest bed I have ever seen is in the middle of the room. I know that it could fit at least ten people. There is another mini bar in one corner and a huge flat screen is mounted on the wall in front of the bed. One of the boys must have already ordered the movie because it is already on the TV waiting for someone to press play. I could get used to this, I say to myself.

We all crawl onto the bed. Louis and Zayn sit next to each other with Liam at the foot of the bed. Niall sits to the right of me and Jess sits on my left with Harry beside her. Grabbing a pillow and a slice of pizza from the box in Niall’s lap, I lean back to enjoy the show.

Halfway through the movie, I notice that Jess has fallen asleep on Harry’s shoulder. He has his arm wrapped around her waist and he looks as if he’s about to pass out himself. I turn to the remaining boys. Liam is beginning to nod off and Zayn has already conked out. Louis seems to be the only one truly watching the movie now; he laughs at every part almost. I peek at Niall to see that he is slumped against my shoulder asleep too.

Now is my chance to finally get to look at the Irish boy. I notice that he has a few dark freckles that spot every so often on his cheek and neck. Suddenly, I get the urge to run my hand over them. Deciding that I would wake him up if I did, I keep my hands in my lap. I start to realize that I have gotten sleepy myself and begin to nod off with everyone else.
