Taciturn (Niall Horan)

CHAPTER 10 - The Prank

Nona’s POV

We had a chance to spend our last night’s here in NZ in this 5-star hotel. I bet this is really expensive; too expensive that I'm afraid to even step my foot on their well-furnished carpets.

These blokes have the 'money' so they just go running around the hallways. They can pay the damages if there are any; lucky them.

We just finished dinner –which tasted like heaven— and currently, we're inside the elevator; way up to our respective rooms. No surprise that we all fit in here since this is a massive elevator.

"Why don't we—"

"Oh no, Lou. No games tonight." Niall cut off the blue eyed lad.

"You are no fun." Louis snorted.

"Aren't you knackered?" Zayn whined.

Louis just rolls his eyes.

We came from their last show in here, in Auckland. And you can read the tiredness in their faces except for Louis. I think the adrenaline is still pumping through his veins.

"We'll be flying back to Melbourne tomorrow morning so have all the rest you need. Good night!" Liam spoke once we got out of the lift.

"C'mon, Nona. Let's get some sleep." Gail yawned.

"I'm thinking to take a shower first.” I tell her as we walk towards our room.

"Do whatever you want." she continued to yawn as she inserts the key card in our door.

Before I could enter our room and follow Gail in, Niall stops me.

"Nona," he said.

I turned to look at me. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Well.. Uhm.. I..." he kept trailing off.

I tilted my head to side and showed my confusion. What does he want to say?

"Uhm... Good night?"

Okay. I thought it was something serious. But his greeting sounded like a question.
I nodded, smiling at him. I waved good night. He did the same.

"He's a keeper." someone spoke up.

That speaker passes us by and it was Harry. Niall blushes in his statement. The smile on my face grows wider.

"Good night." he greeted surely this time.

I didn't expect him to step forward. He puts his hand on the back of my head, holding it carefully. He kisses the top my head.

My turn to blush.

"Sweet dreams, Nonabelles." Niall pulled away then turn around to go to his room.

There go the butterflies tickling my stomach. I'm new to this kind of feeling and honestly, I'll never get use to this. But I'm not saying I don't like this.
