Coincidentally By Chance

Chapter 6

"Laelaaaahhh,"I moaned.

"Whaaat?"

"Go put this bowl away."

"And why should I do that?" She asked.

"Because I got you Pepsi yesterday, you owe me. Now shoo, Peasant."

She got up and did as I told her to. Throughout the afternoon and evening, we ended up taking the comforters and pillows from mine and Laelah's beds and created a fort in the living room. most of the boys were on the floor with Laelah, Zayn had the two person couch and Niall was laying one way on the three-seater couch and I was laying the other way.

Laelah walked back into the room, "If you guys want to stay the night, I don't care, but you have to help clean up tomorrow."

"If you don't mind. I'm too lazy to cross the hall, but I'll help tomorrow," Niall said.

"I think everyone else is asleep..." I motioned to the sleeping four dweebs on the carpet.

"Well, I'm going to head to my room, goodnight," Laelah said with a smile.

"Goodnight," Blondie and I said in unison.

She disappeared up the stairs and her door shut, leaving us to our thoughts and the half-over movie.

"You know, I've only met you just under three days ago, and you're already waking me up in the morning and sleeping at mine, well, my cousin's house. Do you realize weird this is?"

"How weird what is? Meeting you coincidentally, by chance if I may add, three times, and finding out you've come to stay across the hall from me; when I didn't know Laelah to begin with?" Niall asked.

"Exactly."

"Yeah, but I don't mind," He stated, and I turned to face him, discovering he's been staring at me the entire time.

"Ah! Your feet are cold!" I shrieked, trying to scoot away without falling, which only pushed him to want to touch me with them more, "Quit it, you're going to wake them!"

At my request he stopped, settling down again, turning back to the movie. There was a blanket over top of the two of us, in effort to keep us warm, but I didn't need it. I could've been fine with nothing, but I like cuddling myself into it.

"Niall?"

"Yes?"

"Can you sing?"

He didn't let his attention miss the action scene playing, but he nodded.

Cool.

I watched the screen as well, until Niall had his eyes closed. And then something possessed to do something I'm not sure if I liked or if I wanted to stop myself, but either way, I crawled under the blanket and lied next to him, pressing my back into his chest. He stiffened for a second, but moved his arm so it was over mine, which was placed tightly against myself. He nuzzled his forehead against my shoulder, and ended up settling it on his arm behind my head.

"Sweet dreams," He whispered.

"And the same to you," I whispered back.

-:-:-

"Where are you going?" I mumbled, still half asleep as Niall carefully got off the couch.

"To help clean up before I go, like I promised."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry for waking you," He said softly.

"No problem."

I heard him shuffling in the kitchen, washing dishes from yesterday. I had the thought of helping, but decided against it, too much effort. A few minutes later he walked out of the 'food room' holding the remains of food he brought that we didn't eat.
