Stay (Niall Horan)

Chapter 6

"No! No! Stay away!" I screamed and woke up. My eyes were filled with tears and I was shaking.

"Woah whats going on Sammi?!" Niall leaped up out of the comfy bed.

"They are gonna get me." I stood beside the bed, jumping at my own shadow.

"It was just a dream." Niall said while embracing my trembling body.

He pushed me down lightly so I was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I-I'm sorry for making you watch that movie." Niall was rubbing circles in my back.

"It's okay.." I lied. Honestly I wanted to see something else.

"Sammi... I will protect you from everything. You don't have to worry."

My lips began to curve into a smile. Niall pulled me back up to the pillows and pulled the blanket over us.

"Go to sleep Sam." He wrapped his strong arms around me and placed his head in the crook of my neck. Niall's scent filled my nose making me blush.

After about 10 minutes I finally fell asleep in Niall's arms.

I woke up at 11 am to the smell of bacon filling my bedroom. My eye lashes fluttered open and a huge smile was plastered on my face when I saw Niall standing at the end of the bed with a tray of breakfast.

"I made this for you. To make up for the movie." He said while passing the plate to me. I took it happily and tasted his creation.

"Wow this is really good."

"Anything for you love." Niall said while flicking my nose.

I spent the day at Niall's house playing silly games. We played scrabble, Boggle, and Monopoly.

"Hey Sam come here." He handed me a black Xbox controller.

"I don't know how to play." I admitted.

"I'll show you. Come sit on my lap." Niall pulled me down and wrapped his arms around me to show me the controls.

"This one is to shoot." His breath on my neck sent shivers down my spine.

"N-Niall." I breathed out. He knew exactly what he was doing. My body stiffened up and I pulled away.

"C'mon I can beat you!" I cheered while pushing him back against the couch.

"It's on!" He lightly shoved me back.

Niall was beating me terribly at this game so I reached over and started pressing random buttons on his controller.

"Hey that's cheating. Sammi I don't like cheaters." Niall crossed his arms and was acting like a child. All of a sudden he ripped the controller out of my hand and tossed it to the side of me. I tried to dive over and get it, but Niall jumped on top of me.

"Get off of me!" I was laughing uncontrollably.

"No. You're a cheater. And you do you know what happens to cheaters?" Niall said pinning my arms to my sides. For a second I got a little scared, but that changed when he started tickling me. My laugh was so loud and obnoxious when his fingers dug into my ribs.

"P-please stop." I couldn't breathe.

"Fine." Niall said while pulling himself off of me.

I caught onto my regular breathing pattern once again. An idea clicked in my head. I was going to get revenge on Niall soon.

"Hey, Sam. I'm going to go get a shower real quick. You can watch whatever you want on TV. " He said before disappearing around the corner.

I thought of a good way to get revenge on Niall. Once he was in the shower, I went in the kitchen and filled a cup up with freezing water. Then I tip-toed into the bedroom and slowly opened the bathroom door. Thankfully it didn't make a noise. I hurried up and dumped the cold water over the top of the shower, and it splashed all over Niall.

"Sammi! That's freezing!" He yelled. I ran out of the bathroom and into the living room. I scanned the area for a hiding spot. Niall's feet came marching down the hall so I decided to hide behind the couch.

"Where are you?" He asked, trying to hold back a laugh.

I covered my mouth and tried not to burst out laughing. He kept cracking jokes to find me, but I covered my ears.

"I give up!" He said before I decided to make a run for it. I ran out of the living room and Niall was not to far behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and I tried to wiggle free, but I failed.

"I got revenge!" I yelled and lightly smacked his arm.

"Thats pretty fair." Niall said before letting me go. I spun around to face him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Wow. I just kissed him first and I kinda felt a butterfly feeling in my stomach. Am I starting to have a thing for the Irish lad that once terrified me? Then Niall's expression became serious.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
