STARGAZER

CHAPTER 22: STARGAZER

(Day 18, 3/3 days in NEW YORK-MANHATTAN)

"Wake up." The slow whisper with an Irish accent mixed in filled my ears. I held my head up for a second. We crashed on the floor of my bedroom last night. The windows open, the warm hair coming through with a breeze. We had a fun night last night, going out to the small bar a few blocks away. It's kind of country. No one was in there but us so we had the whole place to ourselves. We raised our beers to the new album, and to my success. 

"Oh god another hang over. I gotta stop this." Niall said putting his hand on his forehead. I put my hands around his waist pulling him closer to me. 

"Come on, i'll go make you coffee, or tea if you want." 

"Coffee with Irish Creme?"

"Of course." I said kissing him on the cheek. 

We walked down the stairs slowly and I checked around the corner to see if my mom was there. I was right, she was gone shopping before work. I took out the coffee pot from the dishwasher and put the coffee grounds in. The huge kitchen was warm and airy, the glass doors open to the floral garden which turned into a little patio. The beautiful interior was home. 

"We've got to introduce our album today at a Target. You'll come too right?" He said.

"Is that alright?" I replied. It's not really my place to be.

"Sophia. You're on the album. Don't you realize that?" 

He's right. I'm on the album. I can be there. The coffee went off so I poured it in a mug and handed it to him. He sipped it and smiled, then his phone went off. 

"Hey." He said

"Yeah."

"Oh man.."

"Alright."

"Bye." 

He clicked end call and looked up at me. "We've got 3 minutes, they're on their way to get us." He drank his coffee down and I ran upstairs to get changed. I put my hair in a messy hair poof with my long hair down my back. I took off my long shirt, getting ready to undo my pink polka dotted bra, I heard a soft knock on the door. 

"Yeah?" I said but it was too late, he cracked the door a little bit, I pulled the shirt over my stomach and chest to hide it from him but he walked in looking at me. 

He put his hand around the cloth over my body. I felt his fingertips lightly on my flat stomach then grab around to my bare back. His lips lingered on my collarbones and up around my neck. He kissed inch by inch up until he reached my ear. "I hope nothing changes from this point on when the album comes out." He whispered kissing me on my cheek. and finally to my mouth. His hands creep up to my bra strap when I stop him. I'm ready, but not when we have 3 minutes. I want our first to be meaningful. 

"Not now." I breathed breaking the kiss. "I'll meet you downstairs." He smiled and left the room. I could deal with him for the rest of my life if he did that more often.

"GET IN THE VAN WE DON'T HAVE ALL FUCKING DAY." Zayn said jokingly, excited for the album. 

"Alright man but I gotta get some clothes. I stink like Alcohol " Niall said in a REALLY think accent I almost couldn't understand him. After that Niall got pile of clothes thrown at him.

"There you go." Louis said being sassy. 

"Thanks Louis." Niall smiled and laughed his unique but dorky laugh. 

Then the screams came.

The van went by the girls waiting outside the Target store and as we rolled by they came chasing after us. I looked at Niall and he seemed to get a little uncomfortable. They actually locked themselves around the van and we couldn't see anything but the girls faces. Niall's cheeks got bright red and he started breathing a little heavier then usual.
