A Picture Worth A Thousand Words

Chapter 7

BAILEE'S POV (still)

I found my way back to the lounge and everyone was sitting down laughing and talking. I felt out of place, so I went and set back in my bean bag chair. I was sipping on my drink when Zayn came over and sat in the other one. I felt really nervous. He had something to tell me. I figured it was important since he said to the other boys that he had to tell me tonight. I started getting butterflies in the pit of my stomach and my face felt really hot. I knew I must have been blushing.

"Bailee, Can I talk to you? In private.", Zayn asked me as he took my hand.

I was nervous so I flinched and almost pulled my hand away. "Yes, where shall we go?"

"Well, maybe we should go outside. It's way to loud in here.", Zayn shouted loud enough so everyone could hear.

"Let's go!". I pulled him out from the chair and we walked outside the lounge and around the corner.

He pulled himself really close. He backed me up against the wall and put his hand by my face.

"I've been wanting to tell you this since the moment we met. I really like you Bailee, and if you don't feel the same it's okay. I just really had to..", I couldn't let him finish. I pulled him closer and pressed my lips against his. I wanted him to know how I felt through this kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself deeper into him. We were in a strong embrace when Niall walked out of the lounge and saw someone around the corner.

"Hey! Who's there?", Niall yelled as his footsteps got closer.

I pulled away from Zayn as Niall rounded the corner. He stopped in surprise.

"Ooh, I'm so sorry lad. I didn't know it was you. I'll let you two talk. Sorry.", he started to turn around when I grabbed his arm.

"No, it's okay. We already talked. We were just going back to the lounge.", I said as I walked with Niall.

Zayn gave me a questionable gaze. I winked at him and he smiled. He was blushing too. I knew he realized how I felt too. Niall was already in the room. Zayn pulled me back from the doorway and planted another long, tender but passionate kiss. As he pulled away, I leaned closer to his lips. I didn't want that kiss to end.

He turned back around and walked into the lounge. I went in after him and we sat down in the bean bag chairs. I finally felt like I belonged. I could talk to Zayn for hours. We were laughing and talking for a couple of hours after the concert. I was having so much fun.

NIALL'S POV

"Why don't you and your friends come back to our hotel suite? We have more room than we know what to do with.", I asked Abby.

"Well, I don't know what to say.", Abby shrugged her freckled shoulders.

"Say yes!". I took her small hands in mine. I was begging her to say yes. I had to keep her with me. I felt lonely and purposeless without her. I knew she was going to change my life. I couldn't let her slip away.

I looked deep in her eyes. Those golden orbs stared back at me with wonder and passion.

"Yes.", she whispered. She was breathing hard and so was I. I wanted her so bad. I wanted to take her in my arms and never let her go. I was going to make her mine. I had to make her mine.

"Well, I guess we're going the hotel. Let's all get in the limo!", I yelled as we walked out of the lounge.

We arrived at the hotel. Our suite was on the top floor. We walked up to the revolving door.

"Ooh! It's a circle door!", Louis shouted as he ran inside the revolving door. He went in circles about 3 of 4 times.

"Louis, get out of there!! It's not a play toy!", Liam shouted as he stopped Louis.

"Awe, I was having fun!", Louis said as he gave Liam a pouty face.

"We can have fun up at our suite! Now let's go!". Liam pulled Louis out of the revolving door and into the lobby.

Once we got up to the suite, everyone went to their room. Abby followed behind me. I grabbed her hand and pulled her into my room. I closed the door behind her. She plopped onto the bed and made herself comfortable.

My suitcase was already here so I gathered some comfortable clothes and began to pull off my shirt. I remembered that Abby was in the room, so I went into the bathroom. I came out and Abby had dozed off. She still had her heels on, so I gently slipped one off and then the other. She twitched and rolled over, facing me. Her blonde curls had gone, leaving a wavy cloak. It was hiding her face so I took my finger and swept away a piece if hair and moved it back from her cheek. She looked so beautiful as she slept. I didn't want to wake her up. I was kind if sleepy myself so I gently and quietly slipped the covers over her as I got into the bed. I made sure not to wake her. I felt her skin and noticed she was cold. I silently readjusted myself so I was lying next to her. I draped my arm around her waist. She responded by intertwining her fingers with mine. I felt whole for the first time since I left home. I didn't know if she knew what she was doing, but I'm glad she did. Abby snuggled up to my warm body. Her feet were cold too, so I entangled my legs with hers. I warmed up her feet and she twitched when I touched the underside of her foot. Abby must be ticklish. She moved once more, this time facing me. Our hands never separated as she opened her beautiful golden eyes.

"Is it morning?", she asked.

"No, you just dozed off. I'm kind of tired myself, so I hopped in bed. You were cold so I warmed you up. I also took off your shoes. Are you okay with me sleeping next to you?". I didn't know if she wanted me to sleep on the floor or the couch. "I can sleep somewhere else. I wouldn't bother me."

"No, I'd like you to stay here with me tonight.", she said as she cupped my cheek.

I put my hand on hers. I closed my eyes. I thought of how I felt in this moment. For once in my life, I have a normal girl who likes me for me. Not the money, the fame, or even my name.

"I really like you Abby.", I said with a whisper.

"Good, because I really like you too.", Abby said as she put her head down and let out a sigh of relief.

I lifted her chin up and ran my hand down her face. She was so beautiful. I looked at her lips. They were a soft pink and I could feel myself wanting to kiss them. A knot built up in my stomach as I leaned in towards her face. She leaned into me. I barely touched her lips. Abby wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me with more passion and love than I have ever felt from anyone.

We embraced each other and as the kisses got more passionate so did our movements. She pushed the covers back and moved so that he was sitting up on top of me. She pulled my face up with both hands and kissed me like I was the only one in the world. I sat up in the bed. She started to take off my shirt when I stopped her.

"You don't have to do this.", I pleaded.

"I want too.", she replied with a small smile on her face.

I grabbed her hand,"I'm not the type of guy to rush someone into bed. I want to treat you like the lovely lady you are. I want to take to out to movies and dinners and long walks along the beach, not have a one night fling and regret what we might do. It's okay. I don't want you to do this if you don't want too. I can wait."

"Any man who is willing to wait, is a man worth waiting for", she said as she kissed my lips one last time before getting out of bed.

"I'll wait a thousand years for you if I have too.". I stood up beside her. Tears started to fill her eyes as she looked up at me. "Please, don't cry love." I wiped away a stray tear that escaped her eyes.

"It's just, I've never had a man say something so beautiful to me before."

"Well, I've never met someone so beautiful before."

After I said those words, she broke out in a sob. I held her close to me. I was definitely never letting her go.
