Tattooed Heart [N.H AU]

Forty-Two

*Summer's P.O.V*

I know my mother taught me not to trust strangers, but Niall was not a stranger anymore. Then, without thinking, I did something I know I shouldn't have done . "Do you want to come inside?" I asked, which caught Niall by surprise, and believe me; I was too.

I tried to open the door slowly and as quieter as I could, trying not to wake my parents from their sleep. Once inside, we rushed to my bedroom, trying to avoid the toys my little brother Felipe threw on the floor. Opening my bedroom door, we let our self inside, gently closing the door.

I was exhausted for all the adrenaline we just had. There's a long pause before he finally spoke. "I've never been less confused in my life" he said sitting down on my bed.

"Why do you say that?" I asked, wondering why he said that.

His jaw tensed, but he wasn't angry. A sudden urge took over me growing insensibly, so I walked over to my bed, sitting down on his lap. He didn't look at me, so I hugged his neck, pressing my forehead against his neck. But he had other plans, pulling me closer to his body, he squeezed me tighter

"This is f*ck up princess" he said. "You'll probably realize sooner or later what a pain on the ass I am, and then you'll thinking about how to get rid of me" he whispered softly into my ear.

He puffed a breath of air as I rubbed his back.  I lifted his chin, touching each side of his face with my hands. I caressed his jaw line with my thumb; his face relaxed a little more. I closed my eyes a little and lean down to kiss the corner of his lips, but turned around faster than me so that I caught more of his lips that I intended to.

Even though his action surprised me, I didn't pull back. The kiss was sweet and passionate at the same time, but he didn't take it any further than this. I wonder what his thinking about.

*Niall's P.O.V*

It was pretty exiting been here and this close to her. It was pretty fun downstairs but now it's just me, her and then moon. Love can be frightening for sure, but you have to follow your heart, even though it will break, sometimes.

I wanted to tell her. Damn it, I wanted to shout it out to the world but I could barely admit it to myself, much less her. Deep down I knew I was a piece of sh*t, and she deserved better than me. She was the opposite of me: innocent. I could see that she was the forgiving type even though she was still damaged inside. There was something about her that I needed in my life, and even though I didn't know what it was, I couldn't change and give up my bad habits.

But she's was the one I wanted at the end of the day.

*Summer P.O.V*

" You know that's not true Niall"

The weight of his words felt like millions of daggers on my heart. I wanted to make him feel loved, cared about and alive. I lifted my chin but I hesitated on what I was about to do. Niall didn't seem intimidated me anyone, but deep inside him I can see a frightened and broken boy. I shut my eyes and swallowed back all my fears.

My heart pounded as I touched his neck with my lips, and gave him a sweet, tender kiss. I took him by surprise as he looked down at me. Realization hitting him, as his eyes softened and he leans down pressing his lips against mine with subtle sweetness.

The warmth of his lips pressing against mine travelled all the way to my toe, and he pulls me closer to him. Now that I've started this, I had no intentions of stopping. The longer our mouths were melded together, the more overwhelmed I became by the reality of what was happening.
