Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

19++Expect The Unexpected

Alyson's POV

I felt a light stroke on my cheek and I was soothed by the touch. I then felt hot breath on my face and it smelt minty. I guess somebody remember to brush this morning, I thought to myself. I finally fluttered open my eyes to come face to face with Niall Horan.

"Hi," I smiled and he returned the smile.

"Hey, love." he said softly, still stroking my cheek.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Almost noon."

"Oh," I said. "Why'd you wake me up?"

"I was selfish and wanted to see your beautiful brown eyes." he replied.

I tried my hardest not to blush but I failed miserably. I feel like I've blushed more when I'm with Niall than I have my entire life. The way I feel when I'm around him is indescribable and unrealistic. It still blows my mind that I'm here with him right now.

"The boys and I decided last night while you girls were asleep that the three of you are going to be living with us." Niall informed me.

"Niall, I really don--"

"Aly, you guys are living here. Don't even try to protest with me because now that I really know you, I don't want to be apart from you. Not even for a second." he said.

I feel like we act more and more like a couple each day despite the fact that we haven't kissed or anything. Just the thought of kissing him makes my stomach churn...in a good way.

"Sorry, that was kind of out of line for me to say." Niall apologized.

I gave him a funny look and asked, "How so?"

"I don't know. It's just that..." his voice trailed off as he tried to find the right words to say. "We're like, not a couple really, but I'm saying things like we are."

"Oh," I sighed, not really sure of what to say. Wouldn't this be the perfect time to ask me out?

Wait, but if he asks me out and we start dating, then dating leads to kissing and kissing leads to touching and touching leads to--oh my goodness, I am just so not ready for this.

I was still lying down on the bed along with Niall. His right arm was crossed over my waist and his elbow propped him up so he could look down at me. I gazed into his icy blue eyes and I felt like my heart was going to rip out of my chest from the way he was staring at me. Niall makes my heart race like you would not believe. What does a heart attack feel like exactly?

A new feeling was setting inside me. My nerves strangely went away when I became aware of what was soon to happen. I counted down the seconds before his pink lips would touch mine and I was surprised about how I wasn't nervous to kiss him. I actually wanted him to move faster to me so I could feel his lips on mine.

I inched my head towards his face, tired of waiting for my kiss, and I hadn't realized how close we were until I felt his top lips graze lightly over my bottom lip.

I tilted my head up just a little more and our lips finally met. My long awaited kiss was here and I couldn't have asked for a better one.

There was just one flaw though.

What do I do with my lips now?

I thought of Allie and Noah from The Notebook and decided that it would be too much for me if I kissed Niall like Allie kissed Noah. Then I thought I should go a little more subtle but still make it a bit steamy. But the problem with this plan was how on earth do I get my tongue in Niall's mouth? Does it just happen or what?
