Forgotten

Chapter 29

I forgot to say this in my last update, but thank you @moostache for Forgotten's new cover! I love it!<3

Mackenzie's POV

I wake up in my bed at home sprawled out across Niall's bare chest. 

I move off of Niall and grab the sheet to cover my bare body. I come close to rolling out of bed before Niall reaches out and puts his arms over my waist, preventing me from moving.

"Good morning baby doll." He says in a raspy voice, his eyes still closed.

"Good morning Niall." I say with a small chuckle.

"You look beautiful today." He says not ever opening his eyes from where his head is laying on his pillow.

"You haven't even seen me today." I laugh and grab his hand from where it rests on my side to play with his fingers. I'm not sure why but it is something I do often.

"I don't have to see you, I already know you're beautiful." He says and kisses the top of my shoulder. I roll my eyes and laugh at his cheekiness. 

I move his hand off of me and get out of bed to go shower, despite Niall's plea for me to stay in bed. Once I look in the mirror, I am glad Niall never opened his eyes to see me. My lips are red and swollen and I have red marks on my neck and down my chest from where Niall kissed and nipped at my skin last night. My hair is knotted and has a few pieces of straw in it from the hay in the barn last night.

I chuckle at my appearance before turning on the water and stepping into the warm shower and letting the water run over my body as I remember the events of last night.

The way his body glistened with sweat as he moved above me. The way his rough hands felt so gentle against my bare skin. The way he kissed me like and made me feel like I was the only one he ever kissed.. The way that he looked at me as if I was the only girl on the whole planet. Everything felt so right, even though it wasn't all perfect, it was perfect to me.

He took me home afterwards because the rain made it too cold to sleep in the small barn, but not before he wrote our initials with the date on the side of the barn. The car ride home was a comfortably silent, mainly because Niall had my hand pressed to his lips for the majority of the ride.

I am shaken out of my state of remembrance when I hear the bathroom door open.

"What are you doing?" I say peeking my head out of the shower curtain, my voice higher than usual.

"Using the bathroom...?" He says and raises his eyebrow at me as he walks toward the toilet.

"But I'm in here." I say, earning a small laugh from him.

"Yeah, ya sure are."

"Can you please use the other bathroom? I need to get out of the shower." I say awkwardly.

"Then get out." He says with a small laugh and crosses his arms across his chest before leaning against the sink, facing the shower.

"I'm not... I need a towel or something." I say beginning to blush.

"There are some in there." He says with a smirk and gestures to the cabinet above the toilet, on the other side of the bathroom.

"Can you get me one?" I shut off the water and peek out again waiting for him to hand me a towel.

"You're perfectly capable of getting yourself one." He says before licking his lips, trying to contain the huge grin on his face.

"Niall... I'm naked." I say, my cheeks turning a bright shade of red.
