Lucy's pov

I slowly opened my eyes, the light coming in from my bedroom windows blinding me. Might be bright and sunny but I'm sure that it's freezing outside. I looked over to my left to see a shirtless irish blonde laying next to me. The memories from last night flooding my mind.

I wasn't able to see how bad his eye was because his face was turned away from me. I slowly sat up from the bed to go to the restroom suddenly having the urge to use it.

As I walked back into my room I could see that Niall was starting to wake up. He groaned and covered his face with the comforter of the bed trying to block the beams of sun rays coming in.

"Morning " I spoke up earning another groan from him. I let out a small chuckle as I took a few step towards his side of the bed. I looked down at him not knowing what else to say or do for that matter.

He caught me by surprise when both his hands flew out of the bed sheets and grasped on to my waist pulling me down on top of him.

"W-what are you doing?" I stammered out mentally slapping myself for stuttering. If I were to actually hit myself I'd have a bigger black eye than Niall does. God knows how many time's I've messed up my words around him.

"Nothing much really just laying here. What are you doing? " He asked with a goofy grin on his face. I stared at him with a confused look. How can he act like nothing happened last night? Like he didn't literally get a black eye because of me?

"Same" I said breathing out a laugh. His smile only grew when he realized I was playing along with him. I flipped myself over to the side no longer hovering above him. He also turned over so he was no facing me.

"You know we can't stay here all day" I murmured. Looking up at his eyes. "I know, but I'll take what I can get. " He said attempting to shrug.

"Besides it's Saturday morning Greg for sure is not awake yet. " He informed me.

"I can drive you home, I'm sure Louis won't mind if I borrow his car. " I said pushing some of his bed hair to the side. Habbit.

"You trying to get rid of me? " He asked after staying silent for a moment.

"Oh yeah definitely can't stand being around you. Absolutely hate it. " I spoke up sarcastically rolling my eyes. He let out a short laugh. "Well that's too bad. " He replied pulling me closer to him. He put his head on the crook my neck as I played with his hair. I have no idea how many times I wished we could be like this again. For some reason, though it doesn't feel right. There's something there that stops me from fully enjoying the position we're in right now.

"I'm hungry." He mumbled. His lip's moving on my skin made goosebumps appear on my skin.
"Me too." I breathed out. Not really wanting to move from where we were we stood there in the same position enjoying it while it lasts.

A few minutes passed and if Niall hadn't moved his head up I would've thought he had fallen asleep again. "How is it possible for you to look cute so early in the morning? " He asked with a genuine confused look on his face. I giggled at his statement my cheeks getting hot which meant I was blushing. "I probably have morning breath, sorry." he apologized, earning a laugh from me. He read my mind.

He got up from the bed and disappeared into the bathroom.
I took that as an opportunity to get up and make the bed.

"What are you doing ?" He asked his voice startling me. "What does it look like, I'm making the bed." I replied.

"But I don't want you to do that. " He whined " means no more cuddles." he continued.

"yeah well not everything in life is giggles and cuddles." I told him patting his chest. I got a random tshirt from my closet and a pair of jeans along with some undergarments and a towel.
