This Love 2

chapter 17

A/N: Please read

(my Pandora account expired & that's usually the website where I get my songs from. The songs on my phone, I have a bunch, but I probably used most of them, but if you still would like me to use the songs from my phone even though they have been used before in previous chapters, then comment off to the side & I'll do it. Sorry for the late update again, pleaaaase don't stop reading because I uploaded the chapters late. Okay, I'm going to start typing now. :)

Cleo's P.O.V

"If I could cover them up, I would, but I can't, so please stop staring. I already feel bad enough, I don't want you making me feel even worse." I tell him and fiddle with the fabric of the towel on the counter.

"Cleo, can I tell you something?" Niall grabs my wrist and leads me over to sit on the edge of our bed.

I don't get to say yes or no, he just starts talking.

"I'm trying to do this whole "feelings" thing and being more "there for you" and "man up more" for you..that's what some guy in jail told me to do, so I'd like it if you did it to. Just tell me. I'm curious..I know you got one thing off of your chest earlier, but I want to know everything else too. If you don't want to tell me right now, then you can tell me tonight." He says straight forward.

"I don't really want to tell you, but I will. Tonight." I tuck my hair behind my ear and slide my sweater on..well, Niall's sweater.

"What do you mean you don't want to tell me?" He says slightly offended, but in a calm voice.

"Nothing. Can we go outside now?" I sigh and stand in the doorway.

Once we're in the pool with Harry and Piper, we play the game that I left out on. I get on Niall's shoulders and playfully wrestle Piper, she knocked me down first, then I did the same to her.

"So, why were you in there for so long?" Piper asks me whenever we get out of the pool and lay on the chairs in the shade.

"I had really bad cramps, so Niall was taking care of me."

More like having an argument, crying, laughing in the bathroom, and me falling on the floor.

"Oh, that kind of taking care of you." Piper smirks.

"So, how was it?" Piper raises up her sunglasses and smiles.

"Piper, we didn't have sex." I laugh.

After we take showers, the pizza man comes and Piper braids my hair into a ponytail before we eat. It's nice to forget about our situation earlier and just hangout with our best friends or roommates, should I say. We watch the movie Bad Teacher while we eat dinner and Niall, of course, finished his food before anyone else, so he just runs his hand up and down my leg, not in a sexual way.

"Your legs are all prickly feeling." He tells me, chuckling.

"So are yours," I giggle and end up laughing loud and uncontrollably whenever he moves my legs of off his lap and puts a leg on either side of my waist, but keeps one leg on the floor because I keep wiggling around. His fingers dig into my ribs and stomach, making my eyes water from laughing so hard. I'm out of breath by the time he stops and it feels like I've done a million sit-ups.

"What was that for?" I ask panting. One of my hands on my stomach and the other pushing back loose strands of hair, but Niall laces his fingers with mine and moves our hands to the side of my head. I'm panting like an animal and he's just coming closer down to my face..while Harry and Piper are still in here.
