One Thing ➳ n.h

Chapter 27

Emma's POV

So far this is the best birthday ever! All the boys came to my dorm room and we had a little "party". Emmy and Liam are really hitting it off. I give them a week to start dating. I take a quick glance around the room... Emmy with Liam, of course. Zayn and Louis, goofing off in the corner and me and Niall chilling on my bed. He's helping me learn What Makes You Beautiful on my guitar, which is kind of hard since he doesn't have his... I have the first verse down, it's just the chorus I can't get past. Niall snakes his arms around my body, taking complete control of my arms. He guides my hands over the correct strings slowly and I finally start to get the chorus little by little.

"Good. Now put it all together..." Niall instructs and I do as he says.

It sounds pretty good and Niall bobs his head to the strum of the guitar. I try again and after a second attempt it sounds almost perfect.

"You got it!" Niall cheers and I laugh at his enthusiasm. "Good job Emmaline!"

"Thanks Ni..." I feel the heat rise into my cheeks.

He gives me a quick peck on the lips. I play it over again and this time Niall sings along with the guitar. A wide grin displays on his face and I smile to. I love his voice it sounds so amazing. I don't know why people give him hate about his voice.

"Ok now Little Things!" I cheer.

I start the chords to Little Things. Eventually I play the whole song to perfection.

"You're a natural!" Niall shouts.

"What's she a natural at mate?" Louis asks.

"The guitar come have a listen..." Niall says as everyone gathers around the small bed. "Can you sing to babe?"

"Yeah... Sure.." I say and tuck a strand of hair behind my ear nervously.

I play the intro of Little Things. My fingers move over the strings then I begin to sing...

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me,

But bear this in mind it was meant to be,

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks,

And it all makes sense to me...

I know you've never loved

the crinkles by your eyes when you smile

You've never loved

Your stomach or your thighs

the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine

but I'll love them endlessly.....

I won't let these little things slip

out of my mouth,

But if I do

its you,

oh its you,

they add up to

and I'm in love with you

and all these little things....

You can't got to bed without a cup of tea

and maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep

and all those conversations are the secrets that I keep

though it makes no sense to me....

I know you've never loved

the sound of your voice on tape,
