Trust { Niall Horan }

Chapter 34

It's been a few weeks now since Liam flew out to us and he's decided to stay for a while. Since his first night here at Zayns event there's been multiple pictures floating around of us. Many people have assumed we're either dating or going to in the near future but we've just been ignoring it all. Right now we're just enjoying each other's company.

"You know." Zayn starts out gaining my attention. "You've been more social since Liam's been here." he says plopping down beside me on the couch of his tour bus.

We were headed to his next show which was still about an hour or two out. Once we got there we'd be moved into a hotel for the next two nights. Liam was in the back of the bus taking a nap while I had decided to watch a movie and Zayn was joining me.

"Well, he's actually someone I know and isn't trying to be friends with me all because you're my cousin." I say giving him a small laugh but I was being completely serious. Most of the people I've met since I've been with Zayn have only tried to associate with me to get close to him. The only person I've met that isn't trying to get to Zayn is Theo and that's because they're already such good friends.

Zayn let's out a small sigh as he places an arm over my shoulder pulling me closer to him. "I know and I'm sorry you have to deal with that." he says truthfully, giving me a hug.

"It's fine, you know the spotlight isn't my thing anyways." I respond yawning a bit.

"Get some sleep, you'll need it. You're in charge of my wardrobe tonight." he says before getting up from the couch going back to his bed most likely to get some sleep as well.

I just nod to him before stretching out across the couch, not feeling like getting up to walk to my bed. Not too long after I get comfortable I can feel my eyes getting heavy as sleep overcomes me.

I wake up to find I'm not on the couch anymore nor am I in my tour bed. I sit up slightly and Liam comes into view with just a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips I might add. I can't help but stare at him, his finely toned body at that but what I don't understand is where am I? The last thing I remembered was falling asleep on the bus.

I look around the room I'm in now and soon realize that this is a hotel room so that meant we where at our next stop. My eyes soon fall back on Liam who's still standing in the room with just a towel loosely hanging onto his waist. He had just showered based on his appearance and it was extremely hot.

"Uh Riles you're staring." Liam says laughing a bit looking over at me.

"Well if you had clothes on and didn't look so hot right now..." I mumbled quickly looking away once I started to blush, my cheeks heating up instantly.

I could hear Liam walking towards me. Why was he walking this way?? "Well I thought you'd still be asleep, plus I left my clothes over here." he says as I hear a bag unzip meaning he was telling the truth about that part.

"And I heard you call me hot by the way." Liam says before walking away. You could practically hear the smirk forming on his face.

Just as I'm about to say something smart back to him my phone begins to ring, a small groan leaves my lips when I see who it is. Niall. "Hello." I say with little effort once I answer the phone.

"Riley, love, can we talk?" A drunken Niall says slowly.

Great, of course he'd be drunk now when he finally decided to call me after months of being away. "About what?"

"Us."

"There is no us Niall."

The moment his name leaves my lips Liam is instantly by my side on the bed, raising an eyebrow at me, wanting to know what was going on. I lift a finger up to him, signally to wait til this was over.
