Let Me Love You More Than This (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter Two

     "If I'm Flounder," Lia and I sang loudly. "Would you see me? Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me? Cause' we arreee the same! You save me, but when you leave it's gone again." 

     "Flounder?" Liam asked us. I nodded and Lia smiled. We were in his hotel room, and the guys had asked us to sing a couple verses. With Lia's soprano voice and my alto, we sounded pretty good together. "Well, that was great. You both have awesome voices."

     "Why, thank you, Liam." Lia said. I laughed at her trying-to-be-sophisticated tone. She turned to me. "What're you laughing at?" I shrugged and made a weird face at her. She responded by pretending to slap me, without hitting me, and making the sound effect. I laughed again. Then I realized Niall was laughing with me. I blushed and stopped laughing.

     "So, what do we do now?" I asked. There was a couple moments of silence.

     "I just came up with a game!" Lia suddenly exclaimed. "It's called: Talents!"

     "How do we play?" Harry asked her. I noticed a little flirty grin on his face as he stared at her. She blushed.

     They were so cute!

     "We go around in a circle and one by one show off some of our talents! But none of us can use singing since we're all singers. OK?" Everyone either nodded or replied with yeahs.

     "I'll go first." Harry said. He stood up and walked into the kitchen while stretching his arms. Lia giggled at him. He came back in carrying a kiwi and two apples. He smiled at Lia and then began juggling the fruits. When he finished, we all clapped, and he even took a bow. 

     "Zayn, how about you go next?" Louis suggested. Zayn grinned and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil.

     "Wait," Lia said. Zayn looked over at her. "Are you going to draw?" Zayn nodded. "I was going to freaking draw." Her voice faded to a muttering as she slumped back in her seat with her arms over her chest.

     "Art off!" Louis shouted. "I'll be the host! Liam, Claire and Harry you're the judges, and Niall you're the camera man. We're posting this on Youtube!" 

     "Welcome tooooo: Art Off!" Louis said in his TV host voice to the camera. "I'm your host Louis Tomlinsooonnn!" Lia who was behind him with Zayn clapped a few times. I laughed from my seat on the couch, behind the camera. Louis turned to Lia. "Thank you. And these are the contestants: Zayn Malik," he paused for the 'judges' to applause, which we did. "And Liaaaa... Something!" I laughed and clapped again. "The contestants have five minutes to draw whatever they want. While they do that, let's see our judges." He moved over to Liam, Harry and me, who were sitting on the couch, while Lia and Zayn began drawing. "And what's your name, love?" Louis asked me.

     "Claire." I told him. I risked glancing at Niall to see he was staring at me. I blushed and turned back to Louis, a small grin on my face.

     "And who do you think is going to win the Art Off?" Louis asked.

     "Lia." I said. "I've seen her artwork before, and it's amazing. And she's my bestfriend." 

     I could hear Lia yell from the other room, "Thank you, Claire!" I laughed.

     "That was Lia." Louis told the camera. "My last question for you is, what's your favorite color?" I scrunched my eyebrows together.

     "Lavender." I said, slightly confused. He nodded and moved in front of me to talk to Liam. He decided to just sit down inbetween us.

     "Liam, is it?" Louis asked him.

     "Yes." Liam answered.

     "Who do you think will win?"
