Behind the Scenes

Mark the Calender

I slowly opened the door and looked around the apartment. The food I’d left last night hadn’t been touched and everything was silent. I looked to the couch and saw Niall slumped on it and I thought he was asleep until I closed the door and his head spun to look at me. When I saw that face I felt myself weaken at how much I loved it and I wanted to run over to him and feel him hold me.

“Hannah.” He said as he stood up, still in the clothes he’d been wearing last night. He looked so tired that I felt bad for depriving him of sleep, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean anything I said last night. I was just tired and an ass and I took out my bad mood on you and I’m so sorry. I know your only friend with Curtis and I’m glad he’s feeling better; I’m happy for your sister and I can’t believe you were so sweet that you wanted to make me supper which I ruined. Hannah I love you so much that one night without you felt like years of being alone and I never want to feel like that ever again. I love you so much I’m so sorry and I hope you forgive me because I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t.” He finished the last part with his voice catching in his throat and I saw tears in his eyes.

I forgave him, right then and there. I loved him so much back that I couldn’t stay mad at him even if I’d wanted to but I stayed where I was out of pure gobsmackedness from what he’d said.

Unfortunately, Niall took my not moving as a sign that I didn’t forgive him and his head drooped and I saw a tear roll down his face.

That tear falling from his beautiful face snapped me out of my trance and I took five quick strides in his direction, took his face in my hands and kissed him.

He hadn’t seen t coming so he was surprised but as soon as he realised what I was doing, his arms went around my waist and he relaxed his lips, moving them in sync with mine.

I pulled away and looked at him before saying, “I forgive you.”

The smile that grew on his face was contagious and soon we were grinning at each other before he lightly placed his lips back on mine. I immediately deepened the kiss and he responded by pulling me closer to him so that my entire body was touching his.

I felt his hands go lower and in perfect synchronization, I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist while he firmly grasped my ass to support me. He walked me into the bedroom from there and as I pulled his shirt over his head, breaking our kiss, he whispered to me, “I love you Hannah O’Reilly.”

I woke up a few hours later to find a now completely exhausted Niall still asleep. I knew they had to leave in a few hours but figured he could sleep until then.

I got off the bed slowly and made my way to the bathroom, not bothering to put on any clothes, before I had a fast shower and came back into the room to throw on a pair of comfy jeans and a tighter fitting jack Wills hoodie. I grabbed my wallet and left the apartment to get Niall some food since I knew he hadn’t eaten and would be hungry when he woke up.

Before I left, I stopped in at Harry and Louis’ apartment.

“Hannah! Well? How’d it go? Are you two ok again?” I heard as soon as I’d opened the door

“Ya, were all good now.” I replied to Danielle with a smile

“I know that smile!” Harry said with a grin of his own.

“Hey Harry, wanna come get food with me?” I asked quickly before he could tell everyone what my smile was about because I knew he knew. For some reason, Harry could always tell when someone had just had sex; weird talent.

“Sure!” he replied happily while the others looked at us confused; except for Zayn and Liam who also wore a knowing smiles.

“Hey Paul, Hannah and I are going for some food, are we ok to go without you if we wear hats and sunnies?” Harry said into his phone and put up a thumb when he got an answer.
