All That Glitters isn't Gold (Zarry-Mpreg)

Chapter 8.

11/6/2018.

Three days over, we checked out, and were off to the next city on our schedule. During the drive I began to withdraw into myself. Perhaps it was because I've been bed bound for those days or I've just had enough of my crazy scheduled life.

When we got to the hotel, I requested a separate room from anyone wanting to be on my own. I told Seth I'd pay for it myself is he was worried about budget.

"Excuse me?" Niall frowned pulling me aside, "You're not bunking with me?"

"Just this time, Niall. I need to be alone." I said almost pleading.

I was suffocated by him forever checking on me, needing to be on my own. Bless him, he didn't argue.

"Okay." He nodded, "Just make sure to use this precious time alone to have a good wank_"

I laughed, "Don't worry I promise not to waste a second by the time we check out I'll have carpal tunnel syndrome_"

When someone cackled, we both turned our heads to look. It was Harry. He looked away like he hadn't done nothing. As it were my conversation with Niall hadn't been discreet, everyone standing by reception counter was smiling at us while Seth had a disapproving look.

Oh well. We're adults who have sex. Breaking news shit right?

Niall still walked with me to my room, Josh carrying my suitcase. They helped me settle in, before making their way out to their own room. I followed them to the door so I could lock it.

Josh walked out first after saying his good night.

"You're good?" Niall asked after we hugged it out.

"I'm good." I nodded feeling worn out but looking forward to soaking myself in a bubbly bath.

"Promise to call me if you get bored." He said softly. I know he hated me being alone. He treated me like a younger brother.

I smiled for his benefit leaning my head on the door, "Promise."

He smiled back squeezing my arm. "Love you, bro."

"Back at you, bruh. Good nite."

"Sleep tight." He waved walking away.

I closed the door, ran myself a bath before undressing. I was about to take off my boxers when there was a knock on the door.

"Niall-" I grunted moving to open the door in just my boxers not bothered to cover up.

I got a shock when I saw Harry. He was standing there with KFC and bucket of ice. Without a word he gave them to me, then nodded before leaving me there stunned.

If the smell of KFC wasn't tickling my nostrils and bucket of ice cold against my skin I would say I had imagined the moment. But yeah, Harry was getting weird.

Romance by fried chicken and ice? Was that his idea of getting on my good side.

After my bath I called Niall to say I was bored. He was there in minutes like he'd been sitting by the phone. Together we ate the family bucket of KFC.

I didn't tell him Harry bought it for me, I lied that I ordered it myself.

Harry wasn't talking to me but was always hovering. Two days earlier Seth scheduled studio time for us to record a song for next album. Niall, Liam and Louis were in the booth recording vocals I was watching and listening to their wonderful harmonies when I dozed off.
