Live (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

The Talk

A/N: next chapter!

Eva's POV

Over a dinner of roast chicken the boys seemed to want to know everything about me. They questioned me about my birthplace, my University, my grades, what I wanted to do in the future, have I ever been to Ireland etc.

We managed to get Timmy sitting at the table too next to Liam. I could already tell they had bonded and it made me feel so much better.

After dinner we all got ready to go to bed. For the guys that involved stripping.

I went to the toilet with my nightwear and toothbrush and toothpaste.

I changed into them and put some toothpaste on my toothbrush. I began scrubbing.

Niall entered and looked me up and down and smiled.

"Hey babe" he greeted and stood next to me. He only wore his underwear and it was hard not to stare at him in the mirror.

"Hi" I said, trying to avoid eye contact.

"About what happened earlier..." I started but he stopped me.

"I know, I know, it was just a moment of madness I get it." He smiled.

"No Niall, it wasn't just a moment of madness..." His smile disappeared "I really do like you."

"Really"? He asked.

"Yes, more than I thought to be honest. When you left to go and get supplies I have never been more scared or more worried in my life. I realised how I really feel about you and when you got back my heart felt something it's never felt before. I felt a need, I need you close to me all of the time otherwise I don't work properly. I just wanna get to know you more before we take that step."

Niall nodded "I understand."

I turned to leave but Niall pulled me back.

"Please just remember Eva, when you're ready, I'm ready." I nodded and walked out of the bathroom.

*********

I couldn't sleep that night. I tossed and turned but nothing was working. Everything in the room was still and silent. I looked over at Niall - he was sound asleep, he was facing me with one arm dangled over the edge of the sofa and his face pressed against the cushion. He looked so cute!

I checked the clock on the wall. 2:36.

"Great" I muttered under my breath and sat up. My throat felt a little dry so I went over to the kitchen area to get some water.

I ran the tap as quietly as possible and filled up one of the glasses I found in a cupboard. I took a sip and then turned around to go and sit back down on my sofa.

I was startled by a body in front of me so much that I jumped, spilling the water everywhere.

"Sorry love, I didn't mean to startle you"! The body whispered.

"Which one are you"? I whispered.

"The hot one."

"You're not Irish"! I laughed.

"How dare you! Fine, I'm the tattooed one."

"Harry"?

"No"

"Liam"?

"No"

"Zayn"?

"No! Zayn isn't even here"! Louis complained.

I laughed but brushed my hand against something wet.

"What the heck"? I said but then realised what it was, then quickly snatched my hand away.

"Are you feeling me up"? Louis chuckled. I'd been touching his abs that I had spilt water on!

"No, it's dark in here"!

"Well aren't you gonna apologise"? He asked.

"Why should I apologise"?

"You got my underwear wet" Louis paused "that sounded weird when I said it out loud."

I giggled as I pressed my cold glass against his abs. He leapt back in fright. I was trying so hard not to laugh now.

"Don't do that to me Eva"! He whined but burst out laughing.

The laughter died down after a while and Louis got more serious with me.

"Eva, what are you doing"? He asked.

"What do you mean"?

"With Niall. I mean, one minute you're snogging him and the next you're telling Harry that you're just friends."

"We're waiting" I sighed.

"Waiting for what"? Louis asked and I hesitated.

"I want to get to know him better before I start dating him" I argued.

"You've known each other for 6 days-"

"That's my point"! I cut in.

"I wasn't finished. You've known each other for 6 days and Niall has already fallen so hard for you! When he was telling us about you when we first saw him today, he couldn't stop smiling! He told us how he liked you from the very first day"!

"I know but-"

"Eva. Don't argue when you know I'm right. You're in the middle of an apocalypse - one of you could die tomorrow for all you know"!

"I'm going to bed" I said harshly and walked away.

I lay on my sofa, facing the wall. He didn't know what I had been through. He had no idea.

A/N: OK, so I know that this is kinda boring but it WILL GET BETTER!! :D x
