09: Kisses and Video Games

This chapter makes me cringe. It's also short. Sahrry. ENJOYY. I'd also like to say that I still don't have my laptop back, so special thanks to my sister @in_wond3rland_ for letting me use her computer.

Tori POV

Niall's lips are soft and taste faintly of chocolate, making me press my lips harder to his. It was the first kiss we were having in private, and it was slow, unlike the kiss we'd had the day before, which was rushed and unexpected. His hand stroked my back, making me shiver slightly, even with all the layers I had on - I was very ticklish. My hands run through his soft, lightly tousled hair as he presses me against the wall of his lounge room. Just as we start to get deeper into the kiss, the door opens with a large "WHOO!" from Harry and Niall pulls away, laughing. 

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Harry teases, poking me in the stomach.

"Have you no shame?" I tease. Niall laughs and I unwrap my arms from his neck. "No, really, Harry. We were just starting to have a little fun."

"It's cool, guys. I can watch," he says, smirking. Niall rolls his eyes, unattaches himself from me, and smacks Harry on the back of his head. "Okay! Sorry."

"When's Louis getting back?" Niall asks. 

"What, Niall? Getting sick of me already?" Harry pouts. I snatch a box of Chinese takeaway from the table. "HEY - wait, no, I did buy that for you anyway."

"Thanks," I say, opening the box and sniffing the food. "Duck. Mm."

"Did you get anything for me?" Niall asks, grabbing the plastic bag.

"Yeah, it's in there," he says, rubbing the back of his head. "You're lucky I love you, man."

"And you're -" Niall's cut off by his phone, which screams 'DON'T ANSWER ME, DON'T ANSWER ME' - his ringtone for Cassie. I burst out laughing and lunge for the phone. "Tori, don't -"

"Niall's phone, Tori speaking," I say smugly, pressing the loudspeaker button as Niall laughs.

"ARGHHHH," Cassie screams on the other end. I suppress the urge to laugh. "YOU - YOU -"

"Who is it?" Niall calls, playing along.

"Not sure," I say, grinning. "Sounds like some kind of dog." At this, Cassie starts to scream profanities at me.

"GIVE - ME - NIALL," she shrieks.

"Calm down," I laugh. "Here, Niall."

Niall snatches the phone away. "Screw off, Cassie." Then he hangs up and looks at me incredulously. "Don't do that again. She could ruin you."

"I'm not scared of her," I say, snuggling up to him. "I have you."

"Stop getting mushy, or I'll throw my coke at you," Harry threatens, but he's laughing so hard at our call to Cassie that he doesn't sound serious at all.

"What's mushy?" I ask innocently. "Like this?" I swing my leg onto Niall's other side and press my nose to his, cooing at him. After he finishes laughing, he shovels a spponful of Chinese food into his mouth. "Eeww."

"What, don't want to share?" he asks through a full mouth. I push his shoulder gently.

"That would be interesting," I say just to make Harry uncomfortable. A cushion comes flying at us. 

"Don't - UGH. I'm calling Louis," Harry says, running out of the room. Niall and I share a look and start laughing. My eyes land on the clock and I jump up.
