Let It Snow

Chapter 40

Woohoo! 40th chapter! Yay us! *Happy dances like a freak* [;

Also, a lot of you have been PMing and commenting and messaging saying stuff about the sequel. I have NEVER confirmed a sequel for Let It Snow. I am thoroughly thinking about it, though. You can PM me your ideas if you want, and I'll make sure you get recognition. I am starting up Forever & Always right after LIS ends, which is soon, sadly.

End of rant. Read. [;

[ Liam's POV ]

"What about Harry?" I whimpered as Niall's lips grazed over my cheek.

"I don't care about him," Niall replied, pressing his lips onto my neck again. It made me shiver, just by having physical contact with him. It's been so long since I've felt his kisses on my neck and lips. It's been so long since we're been alone. It feels like forever since he's looked at me like that. And I am loving every second of it.

"What about Louis? What's he gonna say?"

Niall shook his head. "I don't want his opinion." He reached down to interlock our fingers and forced them above my head, pinning me down.

"What about Zayn?"

Niall seemed a bit hesitant when I said that, but he continued. His tender lips trailed up my jaw-line in such a passionate way, it sent tingles up my spine. The way he touches me just makes me happy. Happier than Danielle could have ever done to me. Happier than Zayn could have done to him.

"I don't want him, I want you."

I smirked down at him, and he returned it with a slight giggle. Niall ran his tongue over his lips before colliding them back onto mine. I smiled in between pecks, as I was extremely happy with this situation.

I don't even know how long we've been laying here, just enjoying each other. It must have been a while, though, because Niall was panting like a delicate little puppy. My breathing was quite heavy, too, as I was out of all my precious breath. You don't know how long I have been waiting for this moment to happen again. We haven't kissed properly since Paris. The thought of Paris is actually making me nervous. We'll be going back for a few days as a part of the European tour. It truly is a lovely city, but it'll bring back awkward memories. Like Niall and I's first date... Our first kiss.

That is so surreal, isn't it?

I think I smiled to myself. After all of this, Niall and I managed to stand beside each other. We managed to stay best friends, practicaly brothers, throughout every little bit of this. From best friends, to brothers, to lovers, to haters, to fighters, to single integers, and now look at us.

What the hell are we even doing?

Harry could walk in on us at any second. Louis could run in ranting about carrots. Zayn could come and ask to watch a movie or hang out before our shows up north tomorrow. Anything could happen, but it's like the world knew. It's almost like God did this purposely. Maybe te boys just knew not to come bother us, because they had a feeling not to.

"Liam, you're smiling like an idiot."

I quickly snapped out of my phase and blinked multiple times. The second my vision cleared and I was back to my normal state-of-mind, I was greeted by a set of stunning blue irises. They seemed to be smiling sweetly at me, so I returned it with a matching grin.

"Niall. What's up with us?" I couldn't help but ask.

Niall looked a bit taken-back by my choice of words, but he shook it off. He seemed to be awfully confused as well. I don't blame him, either. It didn't take a genius to realize that we are obviously still in love with each other. Or, at least I think we are. I hope we are...

Niall shrugged. "We're just us. Nothing could be better."

I grinned madly at that comment. "What are we, then?"

Niall fluttered his eyelashes until his gaze was fixated on the carpeted floor. I noticed him biting his lower lip with a lot of force. I sighed. This is so confusing, I know. It must be very stressful for little Nialler. It's a load of stress for all of us. My thoughts were interupted by a vibrating sensation in my front pocket. I cursed in my head at whoever intruded this moment.

I looked at the screen and scowled. If this boy doesn't quit ruining our moments, I swear.

- Enjoying your new snack? (; xx -H

- ?? Xx, L.

- Nialler's lips. You're munching on 'em like they're candy. ;D xx -H

- What the hell, Hazza?! Xx, L.

- You know you have windows, right? (; xx -H

Niall must've noticed the look on my face. "Everything alright?"

"Close the windows," I replied simply, looking around for any other way of looking into the flat. Harry is beyond a stalker. If he saw... Does that mean that Louis saw? Or worse... Zayn? I shuddered and rubbed my forearm as Niall got up reluctantly and let the blinds down.

He wrinkled his eyebrows in confusion. "Scared of creepers?"

I nodded, thinking only of Harry and how I didn't notice him. "Yes."

"It's okay. I'll protect you."

My eyes wandered away from the couch and up to Niall's eyes for the hundredth time today. They're just so pure and blue. It's hard not to love them. I just get so lost in them, it's just perfect, I swear. If he hadn't been called back onto that X-Factor stage with Harry, Louis, Zayn, and I, I just wouldn't know what to do with myself.

"What is this?"

Niall smiled delightfully. "What is what?"

"Us."

Niall wrinkled his eyebrows again, giving me another look of pure confusion, so I continued.

"What are we? Do you even know? After all of this; the snogging, the dating, the drama... We've been here for each other. Best mates don't just snog like that, so don't you dare tell me I'm your best mate. If we are in something, I need to know right away because I am just as confused as you are and I--"

Niall interrupted, crushing his soft lips onto mine again. This time was not nearly as rough as the first time, but I still enjoyed every second of it. Niall and I being like this was just a perfect fantasy that I could onlh imagine in my head. Now it has become a reality, just the way I like it. With him, there is no Danielle, no drama, no worries, no tears, no fears...

I felt his fingers lingering around the bare skin by my waist, which sent chills of happiness up my back and arms. His other hand was roaming freely in my hair, tugging on my nice brown locks lightly and gently.

I could feel Niall's smile grow as he pulled away from me slowely. I looked up straight into his eyes, begging and pleading silently for any time of answer. He pursed his lips together, deep in thought, and his facial expression hardened a little bit. I guess he had made his decision, because he softened up a bit and the cheerful smile returned gradually on his pink lips.

"I guess it means we're back together."

Tada! So, I think I will wait a while to post the next chapter. I think the next one is the last one and I am trying to make it long.

Comment, vote, like, fan! All of the above!

Enough of my ranting, I have got to go try on my wedding dress before Harry gets here.

See you soon!

R.I.P. Let It Snow!
