Laney:

I woke up still in Niall’s lap on the bathroom floor, not sure of the time. Trying not to wake him I stood up and walked to the air mattress still in the middle of the floor. I flopped down onto it and went to Addie’s contact in my phone. I wasn’t sure exactly if I was allowed to tell anyone this but I told her everything.

Laney:

DTA: He asked me out. Niall Horan is my freaking boyfriend.

I hit send. DTA was something we used when we were telling each other top secret information that couldn’t be relayed to anyone. It basically meant Don’t Tell Anyone. Niall walked into the room at the same time my phone buzzed.

Addie:

OMFG.

I giggled at the text message and then set my phone aside. I patted the space next to me and Niall joined me on the bed. I leaned back until I was laying completely flat on the bed and I closed my eyes. “Niall?” I heard him lay beside me. “What’s that babe?” smiling at his accent I managed to push the words out of my mouth. “Sleep in your boxers tonight” realizing I said the words with complete confidence my face turned red. I sat up and looked at my handsome boyfriend who was also bright red. Trying to play off the clearly awkward suggestion I scratched the back of my neck and said never mind.

Niall winked and stood up making the bed shake. He pulled his shirt over his head revealing his toned arms and cute belly. I felt my palms start to sweat as a cheeky grin appeared above my chin. He undid his belt that I hadn’t realized he was wearing and threw it to the side. He unbuttoned his pants without taking his eyes off of mine and slid them over his perfect legs. I felt my heart race and silently thanked god I was a female.

“So can you come over here?” I said as he tossed his jeans aside. I stood up impatiently and walked across the bed toward him. He dodged me and headed for the other side of the basement. I followed him and after a good ten minutes I pinned him against the wall. Realizing I was much too short to possibly kiss him I let my bottom lip fall into a pout. I left my hands on his arms as I thought of what I could do next. “You’re hands are sweating” he said laying his hands on the small of my back. I rubbed my moist palms against my shirt as my cheeks grew red. Niall moved one of his arms just under my knees and scooped me up.

“Niall!” I shouted frantically. He walked slowly to the bed and sat down with me in his lap. I rested a hand on his chest along with my head. His body was warm beneath me. I felt his lips crash into mine. From under me I felt his stomach grumble. I pulled away from his soft lips just as his tongue slid along mine. “Hungry?” he looked down at his bare stomach and then back up at me.  He nodded and his eyes grew almost twice their size.

I walked over to the pile of food I brought down and grabbed a box of cookies. After holding them up and waiting for a nod from him I carried them over to where he was sitting. I plopped down next to him and he grabbed the cookies from my hand. “Someone’s impatient” I joked as he tore them open. He put one of the bite sized cookies on his tongue and I held my mouth open. He placed one on my tongue and then gave me a kiss on the forehead.

After sharing cookies down to the end of the box, we flicked the lights off. I curled into his side letting his arm fall around me and pulled a blanket over both of us. Under the covers I slid off his t shirt, realizing I was still in it. Niall moved away from me, curious as to what I was doing. I threw the article out from under the covers and moved myself closer to my boyfriend. His arms slid down my back and rested just above my waistband. “Laney?” his voice was in a low sexy whisper. “Yeah?” I asked trying not to be too loud. He let out a sigh and his breath shook into my hair. “You’re beautiful.” My lips curled into a smile as I whispered back to him. “Thank you” and I surprised myself by not denying it.
