Someone Like You

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Niall was sitting on the couch watching some television when I called him from the bedroom. 

"What is it?" He called back, obviously not wanting to leave his comfortable spot on the couch. 

"Just come here!" 

I heard Niall grunt as he got up from the couch. He could be heard walking down the short hallway and into the bedroom. 

"What is it?" He asked walking up to me. My back facing the mirror, I struggled to look at the back of my right lower hip. 

"I think there is a bruise on my hip but I can't see." I stopped trying to look, "will you check?" He nodded and lifted up my shirt just a bit over my lower back. 

"Does this hurt?" And he poked my right hip. I sucked in through my teeth quickly as a sharp pain shot through my body. 

"Yes." I interlocked my hands together in front of my chest. 

"Yeah you have a bruise." He said, he kissed the spot gently and stood up. 

"Thanks." I turned around and watched him run a hand through his hair. He ruffled it and I gigged at the messy outcome. 

"You think my hair is funny?" He smirked. 

"It's sexy." I smiled at him ruffling it some more. 

"You're sexy." He teased, pulling me in closer and I laughed. His arms wrapped around my waist. 

"You're not too bad yourself." I giggled, and I placed my hands on his biceps, squeezing them. 

"Damn boy, have you been lifting weights?" I raised my eyebrows at him. 

He smiled, "what this?" He let go of me and flexed. I laughed and kissed him. 

"C'mon." I walked out of the bedroom and into the living room area, Niall following me. 

I flopped down on the couch and lounged, turning the television back on. Niall moved my legs out of the way and sat down. 

"Massage my feet." I demanded, and laid my legs back on his lap. 

"No way, they smell." He pushed my legs off of his lap. 

"Aw, c'mon! They hurt!" I whined playfully, moving my legs back in his lap. He still looked unconvinced. 

"I'll let you touch my boobs later." I stated. He looked up immediately and smiled,

"We'll in that case.." And stated rubbing my feet.

It was now midnight and we were both beat. I crawled into bed next to Niall, and he instantly wrapped his arms around me and snuggled me. My body adjusted to the position I could deal with and cuddled into Niall's chest. His arms tightened around me and we fell asleep. 

I woke up to my cellphone ringing. I groaned, trying to roll over to grab my phone and silence it but

Niall still had me in his tight grip. When I finally got to my phone, I answered. 

"Hello?" My groggy, half asleep voice croaked. 

"Hey Jen!" Cara's enthusiastic voice could be heard from the phone. 

"H-hi Cara, can I call you back?" I whispered. 

"Yeah, no problem." 

"Bye." I hung up and rolled over and went back to sleep. 

My eyes fluttered open as a pair of lips left mine. 

"Good Morning, Sleeping Beauty." Niall brushes some of my hair out of my face, and I slightly smiled at him. 

I rubbed my eye and propped myself up on one of my elbows. All of a sudden Niall started tickling me. Desperately trying to make him stop, laughs and pleads of mercy escaped my lips as I squirmed.

"Niall stop!" I squealed. Our arms tangled together as I fought to get free. 

"Never!" He smiled and pressed hips fingertips into my sides. I screamed and laughed. 

"Stop-stop please!" I gasped between laughs. 

"I'll stop if you kiss me." He smirked 

I shook my head and giggled. 

"Easy." Sitting up I cupped his face, kissing him softly. We smiled into the kiss. 

"Thanks for waking me up, asshole." I said, smiling at him. He laughed.

"Cara!" I called to her, she turned and waved. We had decided to meet at Trafalgar Square. She jogged up to me and said.

"Hey Jen! How've you been?" 

"Great! Where are the best places to go shopping?" I beamed, I had been looking forward to it all day. 

"Well, we could go to Chanel and Zara-" I interrupted her. 

"Let's go to all of them!" 

Cara and I were nose deep in a rack of dresses at Zara when my phone rang. 

I took it out of my bag apologizing to Cara. Looking at the caller ID my stomach dropped. It was Charlotte.
