Always Yours {n.h} COMPLETED

Chapter Fourteen

holding me, and didn't let go, even when we went under.  We came up and I gasped for air.  "I hate you."  I poked him in the side where his tickle spot was, and he flinched.  "Who wants to have a chicken fight?"  Zayn asked throwing his hand up.  "Me!"  Everyone screamed at the same time.  "I got Niall, and Louis, you got Ashley.  Harry is the ref."  I smiled evilly at Niall.  Oh, you're going down little leprechaun."  He chuckled.  I got on Louis' shoulders, and Niall got on Zayn's.  "1-2-3-FIGHT!"  So that we did.  Niall grabbed my hands in his, and started pushing me backwards.  I knew he was way stronger than me, so I told Louis to get Zayn.  I was pushing with all my strength, and Niall looked like he was barely even trying, when Zayn groaned, and they both fell into the water.  Louis high fived me, and said, "Boyfriend down."  Zayn came up holding his side.  "Cheater."  "No one said you couldn't hit."  Louis looked at Harry.  "True."  Of course Louis would be the one to hit him, and totally get away with it.  They argued for a while longer, so Niall and I went to the outdoor part of the pool.  "Wanna play 20 questions?"  He nodded.  "You first."  I thought for a while.  "Tell me about your family."  He knew about mine, but I haven't heard much about his.  "Well, my mom's name is Maura, my dad's name is Bobby, and I have an older brother named Greg.  I don't have any other siblings, so that's it.  Do you have siblings?"  I nodded.  "I have a brother that's two years older than me, but I've never seen him in person.  Just pictures.  My mom and dad gave him up because they wanted a girl."  It was really sad that he didn't know my parents or me, but what could I do?  "That's sad.  We should look for him so you could meet him."  That would be cool, but I doubt we could find him.  I don't even know where to begin looking.  "Yeah, maybe sometime."  We asked a few more general questions, and then Louis, Zayn, and Harry came over to us.  "Hey girl, hey."  Louis said in an ear piercing voice.  “Hello, Lewis." He hates when people call him that.  "Stop, or I'll tell."  "And then I'll tell."  He narrowed his eyes at me.  "I hate it when you're right."  I smirked.  No one else knew what we were talking about but Niall.  "Let's play with the football."  Zayn swam over to the edge and threw it at Niall.  "I'm going to go tan."  I got out and put a towel down on one of the long lounge chairs.  I laid down, but put sun tan lotion on so I wouldn't burn.  Sometime while I was tanning, I fell asleep.  "Is she asleep?"  "Yeah.  Give it to me."  I heard laughing.  "Ready?  Now!"  That very second, I was rudely awoken by a piercing cold bucket of water being dumped on me.  "AHHHHH!  Oh. My. God. You. Better. Run."  Their eyes all grew wide, and they took off.  I grabbed my shirt, and pulled it on as I was running.  I hate them all.  So much.  "I'm going to kill all of you."  I said under my breath.  "Pssst."  I stopped.  "Pssst."  I turned around, and Niall was standing behind a plant.  "I'm going to kill you."  "You can't, because you love me too much."  I sighed.  "Dang it.  You're right."  He wrapped his arms around me.  "I love you very much, Niall."  I smiled.  "I love you way more than you could ever imagine."  He smiled back.  "I think we should tell everyone tonight."  He grabbed my hand.  "Me too.  I'll be so happy that we can finally act like a couple and not have to hide it."  "Except for management, right?"  He nodded frowning.  "It'll be ok, Niall.  I'm with you, and thats all that matters."  He smiled and gave me a hug.  "You're amazing."  "I know."  I laughed.  "So, let's go back to the apartment and wait.  Want to?"  I nodded, and followed him.  They weren't back when we got home, and we went to go put some dry clothes on.  "Can I borrow a shirt?"  "Yeah, do you need some more?"  I shook my head.  "Then why do you want my shirt?"  "Because, they smell like you and they're comfy."  He laughed, throwing me a blue one with Jack Wills written across it.  "Thank you, Nialler."  "Hey, Ash?  You know what I said about finishing what I started?"  I nodded and smiled knowingly.  "Well, I think there's some unfinished business here."  He walked over to me, and wrapped him arms around my waste.  I put my arms around his neck, and we leaned in.  Our lips touched, just barely, and my lips started tingling.  Then we kissed, finally with no interruptions.  He pulled away and looked at me, but then he kissed me again.  I gripped a hand full of his shirt, and his fingers were digging into my back.  I moaned in the back of my throat as his tongue ran over my bottom lip.  He pushed me up against the wall, never pulling away once.  I slid one hand under his shirt, running my hand over his toned chest.  He picked me up, still not pulling away, and put me on the bed under him.  He hovered above me, so i wrapped my legs around his waist to pull him closer.  We heard voices downstairs, and he pulled away, helping me up too.  "I love you."  He looked straight into my eyes.  "I love you too, Niall."
