L U S T ♡ a one direction fanfiction

pt. 3

It was around 9 p.m when everyone finally came home, except Louis. Zayn had his head rested in my lap, sound asleep. I was watching episode 10 of Riverdale when they walked through the door.

When Harry saw me and Zayn, something flashed in his eyes. Something I couldn't decipher. He stormed to his room without saying anything to anyone.

Niall was unusually quiet when he came back. "I'm gonna hit the hay," he said in his rich Irish accent. We exchanged our good nights and he went to his room.

"Where's Louis?" I asked Liam.

"Oh, he's staying at Eleanor's for a few days," Liam shrugged and took a seat on the couch. Zayn wrapped his arms around my leg in his sleep and Liam cocked a brow.

"What's this?" Liam chuckled, gesturing between us two. I shrugged, keeping what happened today a secret.

Liam inhaled and started, "Anywho, do you want to do something tomorrow? Just you and me? We can get our BBT."

"BBT?" I asked, amusement laced in my voice.

"Bestfriend Bonding Time!" Liam cheered, smiling wide.

I chuckled. "Sure, what do you want to do?"

"I was thinking we could get some lunch and then we could go to that old park we used to love when we were kids," Liam kept a small smile on his face as if reminiscing the old times.

"Sounds like a plan!" I said.

"Great. I'm off to bed. Night Bella," Liam said, tiredly. He trudged up the stairs and disappeared into his room.

I clicked play on Netflix, desperately wanting to finish my episode. As I was watching, I ran my fingertips through Zayn's dark hair. Soon, it got to an intense part and I stopped all movement.

"Keep doing that," he mumbled into my knee.

"Why?"

"It's... calming," he quietly said.

I shrugged and continued to play with his hair.

I was awakened by the sound of pots and pans against eachother. Niall and Harry marched into the living room where me and Zayn fell asleep last night.

"WAKE UP! GET UP! IT'S TIME TO START YOUR DAY!" they sang.

"Piss off," Zayn said, clearly tired. I just gave them an 'are you serious?' look.

"Mate, you have a photo shoot in like 30 minutes," Harry laughed and put the pans back. So did Niall.

"Shit, I forgot about that," Zayn panicked and shot up from the couch.

I laughed to myself and stretched. Niall stared at me like I was a greek goddess.

"You alright, Niall?" I asked walking to his spots in the kitchen.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine," Niall said in his thick Irish accent. He gave me a small smile and went up the stairs.

"So, you and Zayn?" Harry asked from the other side of the kitchen.

I shrugged, confused on why Harry wanted to know what was going on. He walked closer to me until he was close to my face. I could feel his body heat radiating off of him.

He kissed my neck and my breath hitched in my throat. He trapped me in between the counter and kissed up my jawline.

"What are you doing?" I said, my words shakey.

Harry nibbled on my earlobe and I tried to hold back my moan. I lightly pushed him off of me and he smirked, satified.

He walked out of the kitchen and left me sitting there, flabbergasted.

♡

It was around 7 p.m when we all sat down to eat. Harry opposite me, Zayn sat on my right, Niall sat on my left, Liam next to Niall, and the last spot was empty because Louis wasn't home.

Zayn rested his hand on my knee, but I didn't mind. It distracted me from the glances Harry keep sending me. Niall was still unusually quiet.

I nudged him and asked him if he was alright through my eyes. He nodded and looked down again. Something was wrong with him and I wanted to find out.

After dinner, everyone went to bed. Today just seemed like a long day for everyone. Zayn kissed my forehead telling me goodnight and went to his room.

♡

I woke up to the sound of faint crying and thrashing. It was still dark outside. I jumped out of my bed and went to find the source of the sound.

It led me to Niall's room.

I opened the door and Niall's blankets were on the floor. He squirmed in his bed and was sweating. I rushed over to him and tried to wake him up.

"No! Please!" he screamed in his sleep.

"Wake up Niall!" I shook him and his eyes shot up. He quickly scooted to the headboard of his bed and wrapped his arms around his legs.

I pulled him in for a hug. I could hear his heaving breathing. "It's okay Niall. It was just a dream."

He pulled me in tight. I felt so bad for him. I didn't know he had nightmares.

"I'm sorry," he croaked.

"It's fine Niall. You're fine," I said as I rocked him in my embrace.

Once he calmed down, I got up to leave, but he stopped me by his question.

"Can you please stay?" he asked in a quiet whisper.

I nodded and got under the covers with him. He wrapped his arms around my torso and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Night Niall," I mumbled and turned off the lamp.

♡

"Oh yeah!" Liam laughed. "Oh and remember when we were running laps and that bird flew and hit you in the head!"

We both laughed, reminiscing the old days. "I really missed hanging out with you, Liam," I spoke as we stopped on a bridge that goes across the pond.

After we ate lunch, we came to this old park that used to be Liam and I's favorite place in the whole world.

"I missed you too, B, " he said. We hugged, both of us enjoying our BBT.
