You're My Brother?

Chapter 17

"You sure you want to do this?" I turned towards Niall as we sat on my bed. 

"Yes I'm sure. Why are you freaking out?" he asked rubbing my shoulders.

"They are going to grill you. I mean I love these girls, but they can be vicious," I turned to him slightly as we waited for the call on skype from my friends, I was still being to chicken shit to actually log in. 

Today I was finally introducing Niall to Lizzie and Rayne. Even though I still think it's unfair. He made the argument that since I met the band two weeks ago that it was only fair that he got to meet my friends. My argument being that I met the guys as Louis' step-sister not as his girlfriend, which is a huge difference.

"Deep breath," he rubbed my back softly and I logged in. 

I don't even know why I'm freaking out so much. I mean I love my friends to death and even though I haven't told Niall yet, I love him as well and I'm sure they will get along just fine. It's just causing me temporary chest pains thinking about it. 

"Let's see him," Rayne said as soon as her picture showed up on screen, 

"Chill woman, you need to wait till Lizzie gets on," I laughed as she sighed. The camera on my computer facing up towards the ceiling.

"I'm here," Lizzie's voice sounded before her picture popped up. 

"Great we're all here. Now show us the boy or I will embarrass you," Rayne warned. 

"Alright, alright," I paused with my hand on the screen about to bring it down. 

"Breath," Niall whispered in my ear. His hot breath sending chills run through my body and goosebumps to cover my arms. 

I took a deep breath again and began to adjust my screen so they could see him. 

"Alright, guys meet Niall, Niall meet Lizzie and Rayne. The two girls you must charm the butts off or they won't let me date you," I laughed.

"That shouldn't be a problem. Hello ladies," Niall spoke and they both looked slightly shocked.

"Wow you're cute, nice pick Emma," Lizzie said causing my eyes to go slightly wide in embarrassment and Niall laughed. 

"Emma's always been able to pick 'em," Rayne laughed as well making me give her the evil eye. 

"Niall how did you two meet?" Lizzie asked purposefully. Even though I had already told them the whole story they had to hear it from his perspective, so this was slightly a question from all three of us. I have always been curious as to what made him stop the first day we met. 

"Well," Niall took a deep breath a closer his eyes and a small smile formed on his lips.

"Can't remember?" Rayne asked after a few moments of his silence.

"I remember," he smiled over at me and grabbed my hand interlacing our fingers. "I was walking home," he started telling his story his eyes still glued on mine. "It was a rather nice day outside so I had gone for a walk. I was only minutes from my flat when I saw a girl trip. I sped up to see if she was okay. By the time I got to her she was just sitting on the path. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was so beautiful I had to look away, her eyes looked so sad," I took a deep breath not daring to look away from him as he spoke. "Thankfully I was wearing sunglasses so I didn't look like a total creep. After helping her pick up her belonging that had fallen out of her bag, I didn't want to leave her. So I asked if she wanted to talk about what was making her so upset. We spent all afternoon talking and I knew I couldn't let her slip out of my fingers."

He finished and gave my hand a slight squeeze and I took another deep breath and I gave him a sly smile. I could never have imagined he would tell it like that. A small laugh came from my lips as I turned back towards the computer to see my two friends just staring.

"How did I do?" He asked and their mouths returned to their normal positions. 

"Almost perfect, but the big question what was she wearing?" Rayne said regaining her composure and all eyes were on Niall once again. 

"Skinny's, a pink tank top, and sneakers," how the hell did he remember that? I could barely remember that and the only reason I do is because I have a picture of me with the twins from earlier that day on my phone. 

"I think you're in," I leaned over whispering in Niall's ear. He smiled over at me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder keeping me in that position. 

"Okay. So tell us Niall, what are your intentions with our girl?" Rayne put on her serious voice that even told strangers that she meant business.

"Right off to the easy questions aren't we," Niall laughed slightly rubbing his free hand against his leg. 

Thirty minutes into the video conference and we were all laughing and making jokes, I don;t know why I was so nervous to do this. My computer started ringing causing everyone to shut up.

"It's Bryan, he want's to video chat," I glared at Rayne.

"Oh invite him in," Niall said not realizing who Bryan was.

"Don't glare I didn't tell him," Rayne said throwing up her hands, but her voice told me otherwise. 

"Am I missing something?" Niall asked looking over at me. 

"No, nothing," I gave him a small smile. I have told him about Bryan before I just might have not mentioned his name. 

"Emma! Wow everyone's here," Bryan said his face popping up alongside the other two.

"Welcome to the welcoming party," Niall smiled at him.

"Oh hey you must be Emma's new dude, nice to meet you I'm Bryan," he gave a small wave.

"Niall," he nodded his head also throwing his hand in the air slightly. 

"Anyways," Lizzie said sensing the tension everyone besides Niall. "How's England treating you?" she raised her eyebrows. 

We all talked for maybe another hour before we all had to say our goodbyes. Bryan making me promise to skype him when I got the chance for us to have a real conversation. 

"See that wasn't so bad," Niall wrapped his arms around me for a hug after I placed my computer next to my bed. 

"It wasn't," I smiled before giving him a quick kiss. 

"What do you think they think of me?" he asked keeping one arm around my shoulders as we turned our attention to the t.v.

"They love you," I laughed putting my chin on his shoulder looking up at him. 

"Only they do?" he looked down at me. 

I took breath and closed my eyes as I took in his scent. When my eyes opened again he was still looking down at me. I stretched out my neck giving him another kiss this one with more passion behind it.  Pulling away I turned my attention back towards the t.v. leaning my head on his shoulder.

"I think your ex knows your in good hands as well," his arm fell to where his hand was on my hip. 

I shook my head, I should have known Niall would pick up on that. 

"I would hope so," I said flipping through the channels.
