It's Complicated ♧ n.h. [unedited]

Chapter 8

Niall’s POV

I was sleeping when someone nudged my shoulder, trying to wake me up. I was sleepy so I pushed their hand away and tried to go back to sleep, but they kept trying to get my attention so I turned on my bed to face them, and I found myself looking at a cute sleepy Liz standing in front of me.

I smiled in the darkness and whispered “What’s wrong?”

“I’m not going to talk about it here, c’mon” she whispered while she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the bed and the room.

When we were out in the hallway, she turned to face me, that’s when I noticed our hands were still linked and I looked down at them. Then I looked up at her again an she was watching me curiously.

“What are you thinking?” she whispered.

I just stared at her for a while and said my thoughts aloud “Why are you so cute?” I said and then cursed under my breath, what is wrong with me?

She giggled and I swear besides her voice and singing, that was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.

Shit, this is not good, I thought before letting go of her hand as if I had been shocked.

I stepped away and I saw hurt in her eyes, damn, not again!

I stepped forward again but now she was the one who backed away, it was hard to see in the darkness but my eyes were adjusting. She turned to walk away and I almost let her go but it didn’t feel right to do that. I grabbed her by the arms, turned her towards me and hugged her while I whispered “I’m sorry”.

After a few moments she hugged me back, we stood there for a while and I couldn’t help myself from taking in the scent of her hair, which smelled of strawberries.

“Oh God” I breathed out.

Slowly she pulled back a little so she could look at me, I was looking back at her but then my eyes lingered on her soft looking lips.

She stopped breathing as if to not influence what ever happened next.

I was in war with myself; my brain was telling me to leave but my body wanted to stay and see what happened. My body won; one moment I was standing there looking at her, the next one I’m grabbing her waist to pull her closer to me, her hands on my chest and I’m brushing my lips against hers.

I felt a smile on her lips when I was kissing her and smiled too. Suddenly she backed away a little and looking at me she started saying “Wake-up”.

I stared at her confused because her voice sounded like Louis’.

“Wake up!” he shouted and I woke up with a jump.

Louis was standing in front of me.

“Finally mate, I’ve been trying to wake you up for a while now”.

“Sorry lad” I said a little disoriented, that’s when it dawned on me that it was all a fucking dream.

Seriously, I should be glad that I didn’t do something so stupid and reckless but instead I was fuming.

“You were dreaming weren’t you? You had a smile on your face, what was it about?” asked Harry.

I didn’t even hesitate when I answered “Food” and right on cue my stomach growled, backing up my lie.

All the lads started laughing and Zayn said “You must have been in your heaven, huh”

“You have no idea” I said getting out of my bed and walking towards the bathroom.
