Just a Runaway // Niall Horan // Book 1

We Should Probably Get Ready - Chapter 36

I'm so sorry this chapter is so short and it's only like...one situation. I've been SO busy, it's not even funny. I have school and drivers ed every week day..driving me crazy..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up in the same position I fell asleep. I was facing Niall, and his arms were wrapped around me, holding me close. I looked up at his face, and saw he was still asleep. I could feel his chest rising against me. He was so calm and relaxed. 

 I don't know what it is, but there was something about watching someone sleep. Not in the creeper way, but just watching them when they're most relaxed, and at rest. 

I didn't want to turn around and make him wake up, but I really wanted to know what time it was. Today, we were going to spend some time with Kaden and Alex. Tomorrow, though, we would be going back home.

Once we get home, we have 4 days to prepare for Australia. We were going to spend some time in Sydney, and then go down to Melbourne. I knew for sure that we would get to go to some beaches, and that's what got me excited. I was a big winter person, but I loved getting a tan.

If it was almost nine, I knew we'd have to get up. We wanted to be at Todd's house by at least 10. 

I mentally groaned and slowly forced myself to start and turn over. 

I turned over on my back and Niall just made his grip on me tighter. I squeezed my eyes shut tight, and tried not to make a single sound.

Since I was on my back, I just turned my head, and looked right at the clock sitting on the table. 9:01.

Dammit. I didn't want to get out of bed. I wanted to just lay here forever.

I mentally groaned, instead of actually groaning. I didn't want to wake Niall up at all, even though I came close when I turned over.

I figured that my mom was going to come knocking any time soon, just to make sure that we weren't still sleeping. She was probably more excited than I was. She got all of her kids back. One thing I wanted to know, though, was what her last name was.

I didn't really know if she only had one, or two. Maybe she had her maiden name, and then my dad's. Speaking of my dad, who is he?

Mom never spoke about him at all, let alone mention him. I figured it wasn't the most easy subject to bring up, but still. I was going to get curious sometime.

I guess since my last name, Smith, takes after Carmen and Roger's, I should probably change it over to whatever my mom's last name is.

I looked back over at Niall, who was still sleeping. I frowned at the idea of waking him up, but I had to do it anyways.

"Niall." I whispered. He didn't move.

"Niallll." I said a little bit louder. 

I lifted up my arm, and poked his nose while repeating his name. He didn't move, once again. Really Niall? 

I sighed and decided to just go full out. 

I took a deep breath and just talked at a normal tone.

"Niall Niall Niall Niall", I repeated over and over while ruffling his hair with both hands. If there was something that I knew Niall didn't like, it was messing with his hair all the time, no matter what time during the day it was. I think all the boys were like that. 

His eyes fluttered open and looked right into mine, but I kept repeating his name and ruffling with his hair. 

It took him a moment to register what was going on, and then once he understood, he 'fought' back.

He released me from his grip, but then put his hands to my stomach, tickling me, and looking like he wasn't going to stop.

I immediately burst out laughing, letting go of his hair, trying to push his hands away.

"Niaalll!" I kept trying to push away, but it wasn't working. I rolled back over on my back, and tried roll myself off the bed.

I actually managed to get my feet on the ground, but as soon as I began to walk away, I was pulled back on the bed, by Niall's grip around my waist. 

 He pulled me back, and I landed on the bed, on my back. He flipped over so he was over me. He had his hands holding my wrists in a grip on each side of my head, and his knees on each side of my waist. 

"That's what you get for messing up my hair."

He was holding eye contact with me.

"You're hair was already messed up! Who says I wasn't fixing it?"

He grinned down at me, leaning down connecting our lips. 

He pulled away, readjusted his arms, and before he could reach down again, I turned my head, making him kiss my cheek.

"You're such a tease." He whispered down at me.

I couldn't help but giggle at him.

I looked back up at him. 

"You owe me from last time." He said.

"What last time?"

"Back home, before your appointment."

"What about it?" I was trying to hold back a smile.

"You said maybe later!"

"And?"

He reached down again.

"Now's later." He whispered parting our lips only a tiny bit.

I let a smile on my face before his lips were back on mine. 

I could feel all the butterflies in my stomach as we deepened the kiss.

He loosened the grip around my wrists, removing them, and then supporting himself on the bed instead. 

I reached up to him, both hands behind his neck, pulling him closer. 

I didn't want this to end at all. I wanted to just stay here, with Niall. 

I reached my hands down on his shoulders, reaching down on his chest.

Deep down, I didn't want this to end, but I decided to have a little fun with it, and be a tease.

I pushed on his chest, separating our lips once again. 

"Niall?"

"Hmm?"

"We should probably get ready." I smiled up at him.

He shook his head down at me. "You're so mean." He smiled back.

I laughed at him, and turned my head over to the clock.

"Come on, we have to go soon." I looked back up at him. 

He narrowed his eyes at me, still with a grin on his face.

He hesitated for awhile, before finally replying.

"Fine." He leaned over, onto his back.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're such a dork." I said to him, lightly hitting his arm. 

He smiled over at me. "Yes, but I'm your dork."

"That's true." I reached over, giving him a quick kiss, before getting up.

"You still owe me!" He called behind me.

"Whatever you say, Niall!"
