Chapter 26

I laughed as Harry and Louis play fought, hitting each other with pillows and throwing lame insults at each other. I leaned back, accidentally resting on Niall's chest. I retrieve but was gently pulled back into his embrace. I smiled as he wrapped his careful arms around me, watching the lads bicker. I felt his chin softly rest on the top of my head, gently tickling me. I turned around, giggling as he playfully raised an eyebrow at me. Lightly, I punched his chest before resting back onto him. His fingers tickled down my arm, until rubbing his thumb into the back of my hand. Louis smiled at me as I returned the gesture before his face got pounded with a pillow by Harry.

"How was your day?" Niall's cute Irish accent asked, playing with my fingers.

"Good, yours?" I asked back.

He shrugged, "ok I guess"

"Why only ok"

"There are things"

"Like what?" I turned around, facing him.

"Well, you know when someone forgets something that means something to you but you just act like nothing happened?" he looked down at our fingers.

What?

I scrunched my eyebrows together, "huh?"

"Don't worry" he smiled, entwining our fingers. I returned the gesture, leaning back against him.

This feels so natural. Sitting beside him, talking, cuddling. I know they're only small things but to me it means a lot. Even though it probably means nothing but a friend thing to him. It's not the first time we've held hands, we used to always do it in high school. People would think we're going out but really we're just really close, more than close, we're like siblings. The only thing is I love him now and see him beyond just a friend.

His chin rested on my shoulder, his blue orbs staring into the distance. I smiled as his lips parted, his breathing being his only movements. His attention shifted onto me, a cute smile spreading across his face. He turned his head, his lips pressing a kiss to my cheek.

Aren't we the cutest best friends?

I giggled as he nuzzled his nose onto the side of my cheek. I then realized... Everyone was staring at us!

"Niall" I whispered softly so the rest couldn't hear me. He looked up, cheeks going red as our friends observed us.

"Cute little children" Liam said as the rest laughed. My cheeks heated up as so did Niall's.

"Tabby and Nialler, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G" Sydnee winked as I rolled my eyes.

"Well, this is awkward" Louis stated as I nodded.

"I recon it's amusing" Harry smiled cheekily.

Yeah, thanks Haz.

"Ok, then" Ashley said, snapping them away from Niall and I.

Ash, I owe you big time!

"What do you guys wanna do now?" she asked, Liam's arms wrapping around her.

"Movie and kisses" Liam whispered, brushing his nose against her neck, her cheeks reddening.

"Sounds good" Zayn said as everyone else nodded.

"So it's settled?" Sydnee asked, getting up from the floor as Harry followed her over to the DVD stack.

"Yep" Niall answered, snaking his arms around my waist.
