It's Complicated

Chapter 5: Beautiful Smiles and Blissful Times

~Chapter 5~

The flight was long and strenuous. Every five minutes the boys were bickering, a result of them being so tired. If the whole five months was going to be like this then maybe I'll ask the pilot to turn around.

"Poppy do you need help with those?" Niall kindly asked me when he saw me struggling with my two cases.

"I'm fine, don't worry! You have your own cases to worry about," I replied warmly. Finally getting the two suitcases under control, I followed the boys to the van. Paul, their security guard was quick to make his introductions, and took my bags off of me, making the boys wait.

"Ladies first!" I said smugly, not really improving their already irritable attitudes.

Paul made them all stop talking the whole ride they were getting on his nerves. I sat up front with him, chattering endlessly with my new best friend. I had a feeling Paul and I were going to be close.

"How have you taken being related to Harry all these years? I would've killed myself or checked into a mental asylum by now!" Paul chuckled.

"Its hard work," I teased and saw his facial expression and laughed, "no, he's a good brother, a very good brother who has arranged to bring me here!" I winked at Harry and he shook his head with a smile on his face.

The hotel was lush, many stories high and we were told we would be having the penthouse suite between us all. The bedrooms were all similar, a large bed white crisp white sheets, a wet room attatched. Luckily I would be getting my own bathroom. No way was I going to share a bathroom with five boys.

"Everything ok?" Harry asked me, coming into my room.

"Yeah, thank you again for taking me Harry, its means a lot!" I thanked him, wrapping my arms around him.

"GROUP HUG!" Someone that sounded like Louis yelled and Harry and I were attacked by the boys. We wrapped our arms around each other but the only face I could see was Niall's, smiling his beautiful smile at me.

After dinner that night, which I skipped thinking that I would want to be wearing a bikini for the pool tomorrow, we all grabbed our blankets and coollapsed on the floor in front of the huge TV mounted on the wall. I was sat in between Zayn and Niall as I had developed a somewhat awkward friendship with Niall after last night. I leaned a little closer to him, fearing the scary movie that Louis had convinced us to watch. Scary movies weren't really my thing; I preferred a good romance or comedy and as soon as the first scary scene came on I squealed and launched at Niall, burying my head into his chest, pulling the quilt over my head. Shit; why had I done that? Well done for making it awkward Poppy, great job. But to my surprise, Niall placed his hands on my back on top of my quilt and massaged gently. His chest was comfortable and warm and he smelt heavenly therefore I soon found myself drifting off to sleep, his heartbeat giving a steady pulse to ease me into slumber.

"Should we wake them?"

"They're adorable!"

"They aren't adorable! Its my sister!" Someone I assumed was Harry growled after them.

"Niall?" I whimpered softly. I felt him shift underneath me, his arms automatically wrapping around me protectively.

"Come on Poppy, let's get you to bed..." He whispered and I clung to him as he carried me to my room; much to Harry's disagreement. Gently and tentatively he placed me on the bed and wrapped the sheets around me. He placed a light kiss on the top of my head and even in my half-unconscious state I felt electricity surge through my body. As he began to leave I grabbed his arm desperately.

"Stay with me?" I begged softly and he looked nervous but shrugged his hoodie off and climbed into the huge bed beside me, snaking his arm around my waist and pulling me to his front.

"Night Niall..."

"Night Poppy..." He whispered and for the second night in a row, I blissfully fell asleep in his arms, feeling safe and completely and utterly happy.
