The Boys Next Door (revised and continuing)

Chapter 17

That's when he....

Kissed me. But this time I kissed him back. The thing is tho it didn't feel right. Nothing like it did with Niall. Luckily the ride started to move again causing Louis to pull back.

"Wow" he said smiling.

"Yeah." I agreed.

We remained silent as the ride ended. Then it was time to go home.

------

I'm now laying in my bed thinking about what happened. It's quite aggravating actually... I feel so guilty. I sigh deeply and turn off my light. No sooner do I do that, that I hear something on the balcony. I jump as I see a human figure standing there. That's when I hear their voice. "Cassie, open the door?" what a crazy boy I swear.

I open the door and let him in. "What the fuck?!" I whisper shout.

"I'm sorry I just had to see you."

"And you think it's okay to... How did you even get up here Niall?"

"Hah.... um I kinda used a ladder..."

"I cant believe you." i chuckle lightly.

"I'm sorry, I just I missed you..."

"I missed you too." I sigh.

"Really?" he asks as a small smile spreads across his beautiful face.

"Really." I confirm as I can't help but smile too.

Relief washes over him as he pulls me into a hug. I quickly hug back. We stand there for what seems like forever in each others embrace, but all too soon he ends the hug.

"So." he laughs nervously. "there's something I wanted to ask you about..."

"And what would that be?"

"Louis said that you two kissed... is that true?"

I sigh and slowly and reluctantly nod my head.

"Oh..." He sighs as I watch his heart drop in his eyes.

"Ni-"

"No it's okay I see..."

"No Ni-"

"You've moved on I get it! I knew I shouldn't have come to ask..."

I shut him up by kissing him. He doesn't respond but soon kisses back. then, he pulls away. "what?"

I look down and say, "I didn't feel anything while kissing him Ni. I love you." I say with certainty.

"Y-y-you do?"

"Yeah..." I avoid his gaze. He pulls my chin up with his finger and I see the heart warming smile I missed so much.

"I love you too Cass." he says and no sooner are those words out are our lips connected yet again.

That's when I realize that no matter what Niall did while he was drunk matters anymore. I know he wouldn't hurt me like that on purpose. He isn't like anyone else I've been with. He's too kind to be that person. We break apart and I pull him over to my bed.

"sleep over?" I ask.

"Sleep over." he confirms.

With that we watched a movie, cuddled and ended up falling asleep in a tight embrace.
