CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: 50 WAYS TO SAY GOODBYE

How dare he deceive me?! Well, I guess I just have to show him that he messed with the wrong person!

"Please let me explain first!" Louis pleaded.

"So I was walking from your house to get to the studio when Harry pulled over beside me and tempted me to eat some candies here. I was weak alright!" He sobbed.

"Uh, that wasn't really much of an explanation and yes, I still want to kill you." I've been wanting to murder him for awhile now.

"And that doesn't even explain why Zayn's here too." I contemplated.

"Oh, it's because I go to the candy store every Saturdays." Zayn informed me.

"Let's play a little game, shall we? It's called the nutcracker." I ignored the guy.

"Wow, that sounds intense!" Harry sounded rather excited.

"Is there any prize?" Louis dared to ask.

"No."

"Then I prefer hide and seek." Louis commented.

That game also doesn't have a prize.

"Yeah, I like hide and seek too, Cher. No offense." Niall turned against me, my very own teammate.

"Then it's decided! I volunteer to be the seeker!" Louis volunteered eagerly.

"I'm not playing. I'm too old for that crap." Liam said and this made all of us turn to look at him with a particular look on our faces which says 'How can you NOT like hide and seek, man?!'.

"Good. You can carry Ernest for Cher then." Niall removed the baby from my back then handed him to Liam.

Okay, this is clearly NOT what I had in mind. I was supposed to hit Louis in the groin a couple of times but I guess that can wait after the game since he's IT.

"1... 2... 3..." Louis started counting with his eyes closed.

Niall grabbed me by the arm and led the way to a perfect hiding spot... the storage room.

The candy store doesn't really have that much hiding spots and I'm not even sure if we're allowed in the storage room but at least we beat Harry and Zayn to it!

"I think that we have a BIG chance at winning---"

"Shh! Louis will hear you." Niall interjected me by placing a finger over my lips.

He was now pressing his body against mine, pinning me to the wall rather awkwardly.

We had a lingering look filled with a certain emotion that I couldn't quite put my finger on so I decided to look away first as I realized that my heartbeat was now accelerating.

Oh boy. This is not good. I'm almost on my period and I tend to get overly hormonal for some reason...

All of a sudden, Niall began tracing his fingers on my lips with his gaze strongly fixated on it!

I mouthed him a 'Stop doing that!' for I'm starting to get 'chills' all over my body! This is just TORTURE!

He is clearly tempting me with his touch.

Then he smiles arrogantly, knowing that I'm affected by it. Where is this coming from? It reminds me of that time when we were alone inside a Ferris Wheel...

My eyes found its way back to his baby-blue ones... which was a big mistake for I am now under his 'cuteness' spell!

Then he gently crashed his lips into mine and as I felt his soft lips, it made me want to reciprocate his feelings and so I did by kissing him back... for the very first time.
