Last First Kiss (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction) (*ON HOLD*)

Chapter Ten - Irresistible

So we were going to Ed's house. So many things had happened the day before that I could barely remember! Who could not remember that they were going to Ed Sheeran's house? Who? I remembered all the times I would sit in my bedroom blaring out A Team, Lego House, Drunk, Small Bomb and others such as You Need Me, I Don't Need You.

See, this is what Tyler did. He was so scary that he made me forget things that were so important to me like this oncoming occasion. I got up.

"What's wrong?" asked Niall, sleepily clutching hold of my hand.

"We're going over to Ed's today. Remember?" I explained.

He frowned at me and then realisation crossed his face. "Shit! What time is it?" he asked me, getting up to and shoving a shirt on. It made me feel a lot better that he had forgotten too.

"Um, it's quarter to nine." I said. "Aren't we supposed to be meeting Harry there at ten?" I frowned. We were most probably going to be late.

"Yes! We were!" he said.

"Okay you get in the shower and I'll go after you." I said.

"Okay!" he said running towards the bathroom and touching my shoulder just before he left the room. "I don't know what I'd do without you. You're so organised!"

I laughed. I was hardly organised. I just knew how to be organised when it was essential. Niall came out of the bathroom with dripping wet hair twenty minutes later and I jumped into the shower and had a quick wash.

After I'd had my shower I had to hairdryer my hair and find some clothes but as it turned out, we were ready by twenty to ten! Niall and I dashed out to his car, holding hands, and hopped in. I strapped up my seatbelt and flashed Niall a big grin like I didn't have a care in the world. He leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips before taking my hand in his.

"You okay, baby?" he asked me, his eyes fixed on mine.

A lump caught in my throat as it all came whooshing back to me, stirring up my mind in a tangle of depressing, violent, scary and sad thoughts: Tyler strangling me, Layla's meaningful warning, nearly crashing my car, Niall's concern and his honest and truthful promise last night and so many more, getting tangled and misplaced in my current confused mind. Was Tyler really that easy to forget? All this time, the one true thing that made me forget the sickening past I had endured with him was the happiness I was feeling. I was happy with Niall as my boyfriend. I was happy with all the amazing friends I had and so many more little and big things in my life. I was happy as I was, happy where I was and who I shared my company with. What type of monster would want to spoil that and take it away from me? Who would want to burst the happy bubble I was in at the moment?

I looked down at Niall's hand in mine and clasped his tighter, stroking his finger. "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied, trying hard to focus on the hot pink nail varnish on my nails and putting on a brave smile.

"Okay then, if you're sure." he kept hold of me with one hand and skilfully drove with the other, just like he usually did. It took about fifteen minutes to get there and Niall neatly parked the car in a free space.

I got out of the car and leaned on the bonnet whilst waiting for him to come around. He walked around and stretched his arms out to me and wrapped them around my waist. I was still leaning on the front of the car and he pressed in further, lightly kissing my lips. I wound my arms around his neck like a snake and kissed him back, much more fiercely than intended. He put a finger to my craving lips.

"We'll save that for tonight, shall we?" he smiled at me.

"Deal." I replied straight away.

He took my hand and brought it to his lips before clutching my hand in his and starting to approach the house.
