Unpredictable

chapter 74

Alex's P.O.V

Anna scares me. As much as I've tried to play it off, I can't anymore. I'm not too sure why she doesn't like me, but I hate her and she hates me.

Before we get in the bed, he strips down to his boxers, then tells me to do the same. In the bed, my cries have stopped because of him pressing me to his hot body. His chest is warm and his stomach is even warmer, but I can't feel his chest against mine.

"Alex, what are you doing?" Niall asks whenever I take my bra off. I'm keeping my underwear on, it's just my bra that is being removed. I like the feeling of my chest against his.

"No, leave the TV on." I shake my head, no.

I'm usually not this eager to cuddle with him half naked, but I felt as if this was needed. If he didn't stay, neither would I. He understood that because I was on the verge of losing my fucking mind. If I were to leave the apartment before he had the chance to come over to me, I don't know where I would have went, honestly. The sun hasn't even gone down yet, but I want to go to sleep.

Right now and just like this.

His legs tangle with mine and I know he's falling asleep, yet he's still rubbing my back slightly. I'm supposed to be the one falling asleep, but it's him and I feel like I'm keeping him awake. I put my phone on silent whenever Ms. Katy repeatedly texts my cell phone. Yawns and slow blinks indicate my tiredness and I let my body do what it needs to do. Sleep.

I wake up, laying on my stomach, and the first room that comes into view is blue strands of hair. I want to die it, but it'll make it less soft. It's not like I touch it anyway, but still. The sun is peaking it's way into my room through the curtains and I want to close them, but I don't want to get up. My phone buzzes on my nightstand and I'm tempted to throw it at the wall like Niall did to my alarm clock.

Whenever I unlock my cell phone I have seven unread messages from Ms. Katy and there is apart of me that is kind of worried about opening them.

Ms. Katy:  Hi, it's Ms. Katy and I was just letting you know that the flight tickets should be in soon.

Ms. Katy:  Hopefully they'll be in tonight. My assistant shipped them a bit later than the date we wanted.

Ms. Katy: Are you positive you're coming? We'd graciously appreciate it.

Ms. Katy: The seats are coach, so you'll enjoy every second of the flight.

Ms. Katy: There is a time difference, so sorry if I'm interrupting something.

Ms. Katy: They will be a man named Charlie to pick you up from the airport. He's your chauffeur.

Ms. Katy: See you tomorrow evening, Miss Alex! x.

I know Niall won't want me to go, but this is a great opportunity and I doubt it'd come back around if I were to say no. This woman already thinks I'm going to Los Angeles to meet with her company. I begin plotting out ways that I could tell him. Ms. Katy said it would be later this week that we go, not a few days.

"Niall," I untangle my legs from his and roll him over onto his back. I can only think of one thing to wake him up, then he'll be excited enough to agree. After strapping my bra back on, I put a leg on the other side of his waist and run my hands over his chest.

Goodness, wake the hell up already.

I scoot down a little to tug on the band of his boxers, but big hands grab my torso and pull me up.

"What are you doing?" Niall chuckles deeply with a sleepy grin on his face.

"Good morning." I look down at him. His hands are still on my torso.
