“Niall let go of me!” I whined when I finally couldn’t stand being smothered by his body heat anymore.
He just groaned and pulled me in closer blissfully unaware that I was uncomfortable and he was the problem. I swear that boy would burn alive if the house caught on fire while he was asleep. It was so blasted hot in the cabin that I couldn’t get comfortable and that just made me cranky and Niall holding me tight with his body heat radiating off of him didn’t help.
“Niall!” I snapped.
“What? What happened? What did I do?” I rambled quickly when he was startled awake by my scream.
“You wouldn’t let go of me and I’m sweating! I though you said there was air!” I grumbled.
“There is but it feels fine in here babe.”
“It’s a fucking sauna!”
“No really it’s not.”
I just stared at him with daggers in my eyes. He was irritating me and I was not in a mood to let it go. Everything irritated me when I was cranky, and I didn’t have the patience to deal with it. When I was this irritable I was in the mindset of ‘if it pisses you off kill it’ and I was on the verge of killing Niall.
“I don’t really care if you think it feels fine! I think it’s hotter than Hades in here and I’m about to pass out from heat stroke and I’m nauseous and the heat is making it worse now where is the damn thermostat!”
He held up his hands to surrender and mumbled something about the thermostat being in the hallway and I was out of the room on a mission before he finished his sentence. I found the thermostat and read that it was only 25 °C which would normally be comfortable, but for some reason I wasn’t comfortable with it today. I quickly turned it down to 21 partly because I wanted it to cool down and partly to spite Niall if he thought it was comfortable now he would probably be freezing when the house reached my desired temperature. I stormed back into the bedroom still screaming about it being hot throwing my hair into a pony tail and ripping off my shirt leaving me in just my panties.
“Are you OK?” Niall asked bravely.
“I don’t know Niall! Do I seem OK?” I shouted sarcastically.
“Babe calm down.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down Niall! I don’t want to calm down! I’m hot and cranky and if I want to scream and shout about it because that’s going to make me feel better while I’m waiting for it to cool down then that’s what I’m going to do!”
“Oh-ok. I’m sorry I said something.” Niall replied softly. He got up quietly and went into the bathroom I thought I had hurt his feeling and felt bad for a moment but it vanished quickly, overtaken by my irritability. I heard the water running briefly and he came back out with a damp washcloth. “Here” he said as he placed the cool damp cloth on the back of my neck, “this should help you cool off.”
“Thanks” I sighed, “I’m sorry I’ve been so bitchy this morning.”
He just chuckled. “Well it’s not exactly how I pictured my Saturday morning but it’s fine, I’m used to it. I should know better by now. When you’re cranky I should just let you be cranky.”
“I’m sorry I’ve yelled at you all morning.”
“It’s ok, I don’t take it personally anymore, I know it just makes you feel better. Are you cooling off yet?”
“Yeah I feel a little better now thanks. Actually I think I might be starting to get cold now.” I giggled
“Well then let’s get you back to bed and under the covers.”
