I felt uncomfortable and sweaty, and being sweaty made me feel sticky. I opened my eyes to see I was under the covers and in a tight embrace with Harry. I tried to pull away but as I shifted his grip got tighter. I brought my hands to his chest and pushed but being clumsy me, I pushed too hard and when he let go I rolled off the bed. I got up and realized I was only in my bra. I crawled around the floor in search of my bottoms. Once I found them I popped up from the floor all too fast making me dizzy. My head pounded from a slight hangover and me banging my head on the floor with my smooth move away from Harry. I tiptoed my way to the door; I couldn’t help but look back at Harry remembering the events that played in this very room. I opened the door and rubbed my head. I closed Harry’s door slowly when I heard the front door open. It was Niall, he was saying goodbye to Cheska, whose hair was a mess. That’s probably how mines looked like right now. Niall gave her a kiss on the cheek and watched her walk off. When he closed the door he turned and leaned against it as he exhaled, running his hands through his hair which was just as bad. I began walking to my room to avoid the awkwardness but as soon as my hand touched the door knob Niall was right behind me.

“Hey.” Niall said, when I turned around to meet his gaze he had his head down and was rubbing the back of his neck.

“Hey, you okay?”

“Yeah but uh can I talk to you for a moment?” Niall said making me a little worried.

“Sure, is my room okay?” I said wanting to get out of the bright sun lit hall.

“Yeah it’ll only be a second.” As soon as we were in my room I turned on my night stand lap and sat on the bed next to Niall cris crossed.

“So what’s up?” I said getting right to it.

“Well you know how I invited Chelsea over?”

“You mean Cheska…”

“Yeah sorry, well I know she’s on your team and well last night we kind of did stuff and I was wondering…” I cut Niall off now knowing what he was asking.

“If I was okay with it?” He finally looked at me with a nervous look telling me I was correct.”Niall I’m fine with it, I don’t care what my squad does on their free time, it's none of my business.” I said with a reassuring smile. Niall looked like a big weight was lifted off his shoulder. He hopped off the bed and clapped his hands together.

“Well that was awkward but I was just seeing if you were okay with- um yeah so I’m going to go and I’ll see you later.” He said walking to my door and shutting it. I laughed for a moment, then he popped back in.

“So you and Harry?” he said winking at me. Shit he did see me.

“Um no were just friends…with the time to time benefits.” I said just putting it out there so we can push the already thick awkwardness out the way.

“Oh when did this happen?” Niall asked

“Yesterday, when we were with Liam and Danielle in the Small World ride, we both have needs and neither of us want to be in a relationship so that’s when he came up with the whole Friends With Benefits thing.” I said waiting for a Niall’s reaction.

“So this was Harry’s idea?”

“Yup, uh well I’m really tired so I guess I’ll see you later?” I said not wanting to collaborate on topic anymore. He nodded and shut the door.

I woke up from my nap, got up and headed towards the bathroom; I took one look at myself in the mirror and cringed. My hair was going in different directions, I had raccoon eyes due to the eye liner and mascara, I felt dirty still being in the clothes I was in the whole day before. I stripped down and jumped in the shower, I let the water rain down on my hair and body, soothing me. It was then I realized I didn’t have a head ache anymore. After about an hour of showering I turned off the water and wrapped a big warm towel around me and twisted my hair up with another. I went to my closet and picked out my grey sweats and white over size tee, not wanting to dress up for nothing. After I was dressed I want to the bathroom and blow dried my hair letting it hang down over my shoulder. I slipped on some socks, grabbed my phone and headed out back to life.
