Stay with Me (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 30

I reached college at the usual time and found Niall waiting for me outside of college as expected. He wore a deep blue colored tee and biscuit colored pants with his iconic white boots intact on his feet. We smiled looking at each other as I walked to him.

“Good morning” I said as I brushed my hairs with my right hand.

Niall kept gazing at me with his angelic blue eyes sparkling. His stare soon was accompanied by his dreadful smirk. I knew his intention was to make me blush. I rolled my eyes and punched his right forearm playfully. He smiled and moved his face while rubbing the area where I hit with his left hand.

“Let’s go” I said as I intertwined my left hand with his right.

“I’ve to tell you something very important.” He said as we entered the college.

“What is it?” I inquired.

“Hold on, Thomson. This is not the time.” He winked.

What was the need of a wink now?

“Why not? Please tell me.” I insisted shaking his hand that I held.

He laughed mildly and responded,” I’ll tell you baby but not like this. Wait till the lunch hour.”

“You could’ve told me then itself and not now.” I said with furrowed eye-brows as we walked through the crowds of the corridors towards our classroom.

“Sorry” He said with his tongue stuck out.

I laughed while looking away.

How can he irritate me and then make me smile a second later?

We soon reached our classroom. The first class belonged to Madam Natasha who didn’t arrive yet. Niall walked before me almost dragging me with him as I followed him behind. Everyone in the class stared at us. Suddenly, the edge of a student’s desk whose name I never remembered by the way, hit the right side of my hip. I immediately screamed and winced in pain. Niall turned around as I left his hand and bent down holding the area on my hip where I got hurt. The girl who sat on that seat left her place and held me tightly as rumbling sounds broke in the classroom.

“Lily, what happened? What happened?” Niall screamed as he bent down as well.

“I…ahh….got….I shhh…I got hit on my hip from the edge of this desk.” I somehow retorted.

I felt the hands of the girl leave my back as they were replaced by Niall’s warm hands. He held me into his body firmly and pulled me up somehow. He walked me towards our seats slowly and made me sit down. He came and sat beside me with his back facing the board and the door. His right hand travelled on my hip across my stomach as he slowly rubbed the area I got hurt.

“Do you feel fine now?” He asked.

I closed my eyes as the pain slowly went away.

“Why can’t you walk carefully? How stupid can you be?” Niall grumbled.

“I don’t know how on earth I got hit.” I retorted.

He unzipped his bag and fetched his water bottle and said,” Here”

I smiled and grabbed the bottle to drink some water. Everyone continued staring at us with Ruchika and her friends smiling as well. Niall removed my hairs that were falling on my face and tucked them behind my ears with his left hand. The strings of the wrist band that I gave him touched my ears and cheeks. I looked at him feeling so loved up as he rubbed my right cheek softly with his left hand. I closed my eyes briefly feeling his touch.
