Take Me || Niam

Chapter Twenty One

Niall's P.O.V

Sitting on the couch with my phone held to my ear, I wait. My feet resting on Liam's lap, he plays with my toes making me smile.

"Hello?" I hear a deep voice call from the other end.

"Hello, is this Harry?" I ask, my voice trailing off at the end.

"Yes. Who's this?" He responds.

"It's Niall, uhh, Zayn's ex. I don't know if you remem-"

"Niall! Yeah, I remember you!" He laughs cutting me off.

"Yeah, I was just calling to see if you'd like to meet up sometime?" I ask looking at Liam. "If you're still in the states that is." I interject before he can even say anything.

"Yeah. Yeah to both." He says, I nod my head. Quickly realizing he can't see me I blush.

"Okay, cool!" I blurt out, making myself cringe. Liam laughs so I gently nudge his stomach with my foot.

"When would you like to meet?" He questions.

"Anytime is fine with me, I'm sure you're far more busy, so whenever you're free." I say trying to sound nice.

"Okay, how about later today?" I look at Liam, pulling the phone away a bit and whisper, "is later today okay?". Liam just nods his head.

"Yeah, later today is fine. And also can you give me a ride?" I say through the phone Harry.

"Nice. Yeah. So I'll pick you up. Is Liam coming as well?" Harry asked.

Narrowing my eyes I look at Liam, trying to decide, "No, he'll stay home."

"Okay. So how about 5 o'clock?" Harry question.

"Yeah, that's fine. I'll see you then."

"Okay. Goodbye Niall." He calls, and I say a quick goodbye myself before hanging up. Tossing my phone beside me I quickly get up jumping at Liam, settling in his lap. He wraps one arm around my shoulders to support my head and the other goes under my knees.

"Hello, Lima bean." I giggle from my position below him.

"Well hello, my little Ni bug." Liam smiles leaning down to rub his nose against mine. I bring my hands to his cheeks pulling him down to plant a sloppy kiss on his lips. "Ni.." He wines pulling away. I giggle, quickly getting up from his lap, snatching my phone, before running towards the stairs.

"Catch me if you can!" I yell making it to the top of the stairs, stoping to look behind my only to see Liam getting ready climb up as well. Laughing, I run down the long hallway taking a left at the last door. I shut it behind me, running over to the closet. I sit in the corner covering my mouth to keep in my laughs. Hearing the door open a smile makes its way onto my face. I wait for the closet door to open but it doesn't. Soon I hear the door to the room being opened and closed. Confused I sit there for about a minute, waiting. Scrunching my eyebrows together I make my way out of the room. Wandering up and down the hallways, Liam nowhere to be seen. Quickly checking the third floor, he's not there either. Making my way down to the first floor I'm confused. I round the corner walking into the kitchen, nothing.

A pair of arms wrap around me from behind, yelling, "Boo!". I let out a not so manly scream, causing me to blush. Turing around I see Liam laughing.

"Damn it, Liam! You scared the shit out of me!" I yelled, hitting his chest, trying to hold back my laugh, failing in the end.

"I got you." Liam smiles returning my sloppy kiss from earlier. Yeah, he's got me all right. I smile at his as he laughs. Shaking my head, I think, is it even possible to be in love with one person as much as I'm in love with him? "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to scare you." He kisses my forehead.
