Charlotte's P.O.V

I walked into the kitchen to an awkward atmosphere, I couldn't figure it out, but something had definitley just happened.

'Sorry, I didn't even introduce myself!' Niall laughed. 'How rude, I'm Niall.'

I giggled, how could I not know that, any girl with sense knows his name. 'I know, and I'm Charlotte.' I smiled politely. Harry's face suddenly changed like he had just remembered something and a sudden relief flashed across his face.

'So, what did you guys buy for tea?' I asked, hoping it would be something nice.

'Just some bits and bobs, I'll cook!' Niall offered.

'Wow, you're in a good mood today, Nialler!' Harry said in a hushed voice. Niall blushed.

'I'm just practicing my cooking skills.' He answered quickly.

'I don't mind cooking, Niall, you guys bought it.' I said feeling guilty.

'Well Haz paid, we're using your oven, so I may as well cook.' He tried to persuade me. Looks like it worked, I gave up with a smile and nodded for him to cook.

'Call us if you need anything, we'll be in the lounge!' I said as me and Harry walked into my living space. This room wasn't huge, but it wasn't cramped and squishy either. I had 1 large sofa in the middle facing my new flat screen TV my mum had sent down to me. The furniture was very simple, not much to look at, but Harry still seemed dazed by it, maybe he's just used to all the fancy houses that this is a life-enhancing moment of life.

He muttered something, but I was so deep in thought that it just came across as a hum to me.

'Pardon?' I asked looking straight at him.

'Oh, nothing, it's nice in here!' He said politely.

'Take a seat! Make yourself at home.' I gestured to the sofa, I hated when people felt stiff in someone else's house, and weren't comfortable.

 We chatted quietly for a bit. Harry had his arm on the back of the sofa leaving a perfectly sized gap for me to slot in, but I didn't want to give the wrong impression, so kept a safe distance, I don't want to fuck this up.

'Char, can I ask you another question?' He said.

'Another one, what do you mean?' I asked confused.

'Well, I just asked you a question while asking to ask a question, and I was asking to ask another question, because some people think it's clever to retort with 'but you just did' and I was just avoiding that, really.' He summed up.

'Right, well go ahead.' I said, still slightly confused.

'Is it okay, if, erm, you don't meet the rest of the guys for a while?' He hesitated.

'Uhm, well, I gue-' I was cut off, by a thick Irish accent.

'Here we are, dinner is served.' Niall brought in the food on three plates. It was spaghetti bolegnese, which would be the most substantial meal I've had all week! -except for my sandwich, with Harry.

I turned to Harry 'We'll talk about it later.' I said quietly.

'Oh, did I interupt? I'm sorry, I'll go back and wait until you're ready, if you want, love?' He asked.

'No, no, no! Don't be silly, let's eat!' I recovered from my state of awkwardness.

We chatted, and by the time it got to an awkward silence, it was already, 11.48pm.

'I hate to kick you guys out, but I'm way too tired, so you can sleep here on the sofa if you like, I don't really have anywhere else other than the floor. But I really need some sleep.' I sheepishly said.

'We can leave now, don't worry babe.' Harry said quietly.

'BUT HAZ, I'M TOO TIRED TO WALK HOME.' A moody Niall confessed.

'I don't mind, you can stay, although I don't have any spare duvets.' I suddenly remembered.

'It's alright, we'll sleep in here, love. Goodnight, sweetheart.' Harry said, leaning to kiss me softly on my temple, the kiss lingered on my skin as I hugged Niall.

'Night boys, see you in the morning!' I said tiredly.

I heard a mumble of 'night'

-------

I could feel my bed dipping, or even moving. I got confused, was my mattress being taken somewhere, if so, where? If not, what the hell was happening, I was still asleep enough to not be able to open my eyes. I tried but they were glued shut. What the hell? I felt something lean against me. Okay, I'm getting freaked out, I tried to move and open my eyes, I was struggling, when I felt an arm wrap around my waist and cuddling me closer. I managed to finally open my eyes, and  turn myself around in the arms of, Harry.

'Erm, Harry, what are you doing?' I raised an eyebrow at him.

'I couldn't sleep, I needed something to cuddle, but Niall moves way too much in his sleep. he pushed me off the back of the sofa.' He slurred sleepily.

'Right, and I was second choice?' I joked.

'No, you were first, I just didn't want you to freak out on me!'

'Okay, well night!' I fell asleep in his strong, well-toned arms. his bare chest touched my back slightly, making my breath hitch, just as I fell asleep.
