I waited for Niall to pass and then shut the door behind us.
"So what's your favorite movie?" I asked while plopping my self down on my huge brown suede couch. It was literally a cloud. Niall furrowed his eye brows.
"I don't care. You can pick."
"Fine then but you might not like my decision." I turned on the tv, went to Netflix, and chose my favorite... Pitch Perfect. Niall looked over at me and laughed.
"Are you being serious Emerald?"
"Yeah why are you laughing?"
"I don't know.. You seem more like the scary movie type." Once the movie started Niall looked over at me and then the tv and back at me.
"You know you look like that girl."
"What girl?"
"The one right there" he said and pointed to the screen."
"Anna Kendrick? Seriously?"
"Yeah."
"But she's pretty and I'm not.."
"Emerald don't say that. You may not be to everyone but I think you are."
He grinned and went back to watching the movie. I started to lose interest about half way through, considering I've watched it many times.
"I'm going to make a cake. I'll be back in a minute."
"Wait what, I wanna come!" I rushed out of the living room and turned left into the kitchen proceeding to hide behind the island in the middle of the floor. Niall walked in and looked around. Right when he was about to pass me, I stuck my hand out and grabbed his leg. I doubled over in laughter because he screamed like a girl.
"I literally almost peed my pants." He said before laughing along with me.
"You know you're pretty cute when you're scared." Niall reached out and I grabbed onto his hand. He tugged me up with little effort and I went to the cabinet and got out a box of chocolate cake mix.
"So we need 2 eggs, a cup of water and a fourth cup of oil." Niall walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out the eggs. I got out the measuring cup and oil.
"Niall can you preheat the oven to 350 and I'll start mixing this up."
"Aye aye captain!" He giggled. I think Niall was having some trouble figuring out how to work my oven because he stood there until I was done mixing up the batter. I decided to stop being mean and help him.
"So you push this button..." I motioned toward it but didn't press it. "Then you use these numbers to type in the temperature and then press the first button again."
He looked over at me and smiled. I dipped my finger into the uncooked mixture and licked my finger clean adding a dramatic pop at the end to get Niall's attention. He turned around with an accomplished smile on his face.
"Want some?" I asked and motioned toward the bowl. He stuck his finger into the dark batter.
"You know it's always better before it's cooked." I nodded my head while dipping my finger in again.
Niall looked down at the bowl and when he raised his head up I slid my index over his nose and created a dark brown line down to the tip. He just laughed and didn't seem to care until I looked back at him and he had the chocolate mixture on both of his index fingers.
"Emerald?"
"Hmm?" I answered
"Come here." I stepped closer before turning on my heel and making a mad dash around the island, to the right, down the hall and up the stairs into my room. I could hear Niall's feet quickly following behind me.
I tried to jump past him when he appeared in my door way but he grabbed me and wiped the sticky residue over my cheeks.
"And now you're a football player."
I laughed "And you look like an Indian." I stood up and couldn't help but feel the need to kiss him. So I did. I tippy toed and puckered up. Surprisingly Niall was the one who came in and kissed me. After we shared a few small kisses and one sorta long one I pulled away and touched our noses together. He smiled at me and I pulled his head down and licked off the cake from his nose.
"Heyyy Emerald I was saving that for later."
"Oops" I joked. "You know we should probably go cook the cake now.. And get this mess cleaned off my cheeks."
I grabbed his hand and our finger lightly curled around each other before I led the way down the stairs. Once we got in the kitchen I grabbed a paper towel and dampened it under the faucet.
"Help me?" I questioned while looking at him with puppy dog eyes.
He took the paper from my and and gently swiped it over my cheeks. After I was slightly less sticky I got a glass pan from the bottom cabinet beside the stove and poured in the brown liquid. Niall picked up the pan and placed it in the oven.
"So what to do while it cooks?" Niall shrugged so I tapped his arm while running away.
"Tag, you're it!" I heard him behind me so I ducked into a small closet that was opened in the hallway. I heard Niall's feet pass so I ran up the stairs and into my bedroom once more. Quietly I got on the bed and listened to him frantically look for me downstairs.
"Emerald this was supposed to be tag not hide and go seek!"
"I know but this is funny." I giggled out. After I said that I heard his feet stomping up the stairs and then I saw his cute grin pop through my door.
"So isn't this more fun than school?" I questioned.
"I don't know.... Maybe?"
"What was that Mr. Innocent? Did I hear a maybe?"
"Maybe" he joked.
I patted on my bed for Niall to come sit by me.
"Come here."
He walked over to me and I kissed him.....again.
"You know I've never been kissed by someone so much in one day."
"Haha it's a badass thing. You better get used to it little boy."
"Get used to it?" He repeated my words.
"Yeah get used to it because I told you before and I'll tell you again, I'm corrupting you're innocence."
The rest of the day we didn't do much. Around 7 I decided I should drive Niall back to school so he could get his car. After that we went our own ways and I decided to go back home and eat our delicious cake.
