Naturally

Chapter 17

"Turn off that damn alarm." Niall moaned slaming a pillow on his face.

The abnoxious noise filled the whole room and I swung my arm over to turn it off.

"I'll pick you up today." Niall spoke through the pillow as I turned the bathroom light on.

"Okay, if you don't thats fine. Liam is good company." I replied brushing my hair.

I'm too lazy to actually fix my hair so I'll just put it in a pony tail today.

"And i'm not?" Niall teased rubbing his palms against his knees.

"I never said that." I smiled grabbing some makeup.

"Yeah but you were thinking it." he laughed walking into the bathroom.

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Oh are we going to go back and forth now?" he raised an eyebrow.

"No." I turned away from him to hide my smile.

"Is that all you speak? Yes and no?" he smiled putting his arms around my waist.

"No."

"It sure seems like it." he put his chin on my shoulder and i felt his warm breath on my neck.

"I know." i blushed.

"More syllables please." he teased.

"I love you." i replied kissing the corner of his mouth.

"You do?" he chuckled.

"Yes babe." i closed my eyes while leaning my head back on his free shoulder.

"Babe?" he took me out of his grip and cocked his eyebrow while hiding his smile.

I blushed and turned away from him. I can't resist that look, i feel look he's looking right through me.

He snuck up behind me while putting his palms on my hips. With my back against him, i felt him move my hair to one side. His warm breath against my neck sends chills down my back as i felt him kiss just behind my ear.

"Say it again." he growled.

I bit my lip to keep me from squeaking. I turned around to look at him and his eyes lay on me, it took everything in me not to look away. Guys have never looked at me like this so i'm not used to this type of thing. Except the guy at the bar but that doesn't count because he was drunk. Niall isn't, he's looking at me like this by himself.

I wrapped my arms around his neck while he dropped his hands from my hips.

"I love you babe. So much."

The last time I told someone I loved them was eight years ago at my moms grave, so this feels like new words pouring from my lips and I mean them.

The corners of his mouth tugged into a smile and he kissed the corner of my lips.

"I love you more."

I know he's messed up terribly in the past, and I know he is terrified that i'm only dating him to make him happy, but I really do love him. I can tell he does too. I'm working on gaining my trust on him, but just by what Liam told me yesterday makes me know that he really wants to change for me.

"Can you like ditch today?" Niall complained when i walked out of the bathroom.

"No, you know what happened last time when I ditched and didn't call in." I said putting my book into my bag.
