Louder Than Words

Chapter 6

I open my eyes to find everyone clapping and teary eyed. Was I that good?

Niall runs on stage and gives me a big welcoming hug. I was getting a Horan hug. I tried to stay cool as he left his arm around me and said into the microphone

"Kc, that was just amazing. Everyone give a round of applause for her. And now another one for Liam!! And another for the food we have here!!"

We both run off stage even though I'm out of breathe.

"Kc your really good you know that right?"

"Oh thank you, but I'm hungry now"

"Me too!! Let's go out front and eat!"

"I'd love to but I have to change I wouldn't want to go out in just these shorts and bra, everyone is dressed so fancy"

"Don't worry, The boys would find love it"

He grabs my hand and we run to the dinner tables. There's more people here than I thought. There's a table with 6 seats. Liam, Harry, Louis, and next to Zayn there's two empty seats for me and Niall. I sit next to Zayn.

"I thought you'd put on some clothes.. I get jealous easily" Zayn says blushing

"You have nothing to worry about, your all I want" I tell me and give him a kiss

"People are eating here!!" Louis screams

I separate from Zayn but his hand is on my inner thigh, under the table covers so no one could see.

I feel Zayn's hand shaking on my thigh. Soon we're outside heading home and were on our way to the limo.

"Babe, are you alright?"I ask

"I'm just uhm cold as all" he tells me

"Oh here"

I had learned in school that skin to skin contact gave of more heat than clothes did so I unbuttoned his shirt and since I was showing of a lot of skin I wrapped my arms around him and held him close. He was shaking a lot so I held him tighter.

I slide to the seat next to the window and Zayn is still holding onto me. 2 minutes into the car trip Zayn lays his head on my lap and falls asleep. I look up to see that everyone was sleeping but Liam.

"Do you know why he's shaking?" I ask him

"Well its like 100 degrees out so he's not cold, maybe it's because he hasn't smoked all day, he hasn't smoked since you said you didn't like it last night"

"He knows he doesn't have to do this for me right? I'd love to help him stop but he needs to go at his own pace" I say

"you should tell him tomorrow, I can tell he's really trying" Liam says

Me: "so how did you enjoy your birthday dinner?"

Liam: "it was a great surprise you and Danielle are certainly great dancers."

Me: "she had to leave early cause her family was at the airport"

Liam: "I was looking forward to meeting her"

Me: "She wanted to meet you too, she's a big fan"

Liam: "Maybe you can call her and we can hang out some other time?"

Me: "That'd be great, me and Zayn, you and Danielle. I think people will really like you too together."

Liam: "Woah, don't go crazy now, I haven't even met her yet"

Me: "but you'll fall in love with her, I promise."

Promise. I promised Danielle I'd tell her everything. But shed promise to do the entire show with me. But nobody's perfect right? I sent her the details of the kiss, or at least of what I had remembered of it.

I missed Andrea. Having some one to talk too. Danielle was barely ever using her phone she was always busy.

The limo dropped us off at their house. The boys woke up and ran inside, except Zayn who was still shaking. I helped him to his room upstairs. As soon as I sat him down in the bed he grabs me and throws me on the bed.

"Do you mind sleeping with me babe?" he asks, his eyes are closed but his arm is wrapped around me.

"Ofcourse but do you have a shirt I can borrow to go to sleep?"

"Yeah, there should be one in my closet, let me get it for you"

He lets go of me but I grab his arm,

"dont worry I'll get it"

"Thanks babe"

I grab a plain white t and go to the bathroom to change. I remove all the make up that was on my face, well most of it. I grab my hair thinking of maybe cutting it off, giving it to charity maybe? All this hair didn't come in handy here in Miami, I want to move some where colder. I get out of the bathroom and look outside the patio to see Zayn just standing there. I walk out and hug him from behind. It should be the other way around but I can tell he liked to be held too. I turn to face him and I see that he's smoking, he looks at me and is about to throw away the cigarette but I grab his hand

"You don't have to stop for me, if you need to have smoke you can" I tell him

"Thank you, but I really do want to stop for the fans you know. You'd help me?"

"I'd do anything for you, and I see you've gone a day without smoking but you need to slow down"

"thank you, I really do appreciate it"

He finished his smoke and goes to lie down on the left side of the bed. I close the patio door and lock it. I lay down next to him and buried my face in his chest. He had taken of his shirt and I looked down quickly to see that he was only wearing boxers. I could get used to this. The sound of his heart beating against my ear. His arms around me holding me close. He was snoring lightly so I'd figured he'd fallen asleep. I started to trace the tattoo he had near his collar bone. And soon I was off to sleep too.
