My Darling ♥

chapter 54

i walk past the living room on my way to the kitchen. there is a messed up blanket and a pillow on the couch. i don't make anything of it, it was probablly just one of the security guards that fell asleep. 

i make it to the kitchen and i see Niall and Louis. they have their backs facing me and they are in too deep of a conversation and too focused on cooking to notice my presence. i step in the room and sit on one of the bar stools under the marbel countertop. 

i don't pay any attention to their conversation.. until my name is brought up. 

"is Lizzy still asleep?" Louis asks. 

"i'm not sure" Niall replies. 

"do you want me to check?"

"nah. she had a lot of things going on yesterday, she was exhausted. leave her alone. she'll come out when she's ready"

"okay" he flips a pancake. "what did you say happened again?"

"her boyfriend showed up and they talked and then she told me to drive away so i took her to a park and she almost fell off the swing. then she said she had it under control and got in the car like nothing happened. i drove down the street and when i looked over at her she was asleep. i don't know where she lives so i took her here. i carried her all the way from the car to my bed. Liam offered to change her pants, because her jeans looked uncomforatable. i stepped out of the room and when i went back in she had on a pair of my pajama pants and her jeans were folded on the floor next to her boots. i slept on the couch, so she had the whole bed to her self. i didn't want her waking up and finding me next to her and thinking i was a pervert or rapist or something" he explained. 

"he's not my boyfriend" i say.

the both turn around, startled. "Lizzy, nice of you to join us" Louis smiled. "I'm guessing that just answered all of your questions?" 

"umm.. yeah" i say. 

Niall refuses to look me in the eye. "you didn't have to sleep on the couch. you could have explained it all to me when i woke up. i would've been fine with it as long as i knew what happened" i say. 

he slowly nods and turns around. Louis frowns and walks over to me. he sits on the stool next to me, "don't worry about it. he's just a little shy that's all. he'll loosen up once he knows how you feel"

"how i feel?"

"about him"

"oh."

"so.. how do you feel? about him?"

i look at Niall, then back at Louis. "ask me again after he loosens up" 

"but that's not fair!"

"sucks for you" i laugh. 

"you're going to tell me!"

"in time" 

"no, right now!"

"never in your wildest dreams" i smirk. 

"hey! i love that song!" he smiles.

"i wonder why" i laugh. 

"i wonder. who does that song again?"

"not sure. i can't remember. i haven't heard it in forever" i look over at Niall to see him looking at me smiling. we listened to it just yesterday in the car. just me and him. him and me. together. 

"liar!" Louis screams. 

"what?"

"you listened to it yesterday!"
