Chapter 3

Once we were past him wiping the Nutella off my face, I felt sort of awkward. I sat there staring at him, he did the same. We probably sat there for at least 2 minutes, staring at each other.

"They're probably waiting for us." Niall interrupted my thoughts. I snapped out of my daze.

"Okay. I'll get the groceries." I breathed quietly. Niall raised his eyebrows at me. I quickly opened the door and told myself I was being nervous for nothing. I relaxed my self and walked inside with Niall behind me.

"So did you two play some tonsil hockey while you were alone?" Harry yelled cheekily. My mouth dropped wide open.

"No! Are you kidding me Harry? I got here like 4 hours ago!" I said defensively. Niall stayed silent, squinting at his iPhone. Liam and Zayn began to make the patties, while I made some drinks.

"So, Lyssa, you and Niall huh?" Zayn nudged me. I rolled my eyes and set down the drinks I had in my hand.

"What is this obsession between Niall and I? I seriously got here 4 hours ago and people are bothering me about an relationship?" I admitted, feeling a little aggravated.

"Sorry I blew up. So what about you and me." Zayn wiggled his eyebrows at me. I smirked and playfully punched him in the arm.

"You're too much."

"Too much sexy-ness in one body."

"If that's what helps you sleep at night." I murmured.

After everybody grilled we sat down and talked and had a few good laughs. I started to feel like a family, even if we were having out first dinner together. We went for one more swim before going in for a movie.

"What are we going to watch?" I questioned walking down the stairs in my pajamas.

"Hm. Horror?" Louis asked.

"How about no." I immediately shot back. I really hated scary movies.

"I'm sure little Nialler here will protect you from the monsters in the house." Louis joked. I blushed and turned around to 'fix my hair' but when in reality I didn't want to look face their comments about Niall and I. Liam walked over to me.

"Do you and Niall have something going on?" He asked sounding urgent.

"No of course not, you and Mom said not to fall in love and I'm not going to back stab you in the first day." I babbled. He pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks. I'm so excited to have you here." Liam sounded relieved.

"I'm excited to be here. I missed you so much." I admitted squeezing him tighter. He tucked a piece hair behind my ear.

"Aw! Look at the cute brother and sisterly love." Harry playfully joked. I pulled away from Liam and everyone raced to the couch. There was only one seat left. Of course, next to Niall. I sat down a good six inches away from him, leaning on the arm of the couch.

"I won't give you cooties Lyss." Niall's eyes were glued to the screen.

"I'm aware. I'm more afraid of an secret boogie monster identity." I joked. Niall peeled his eyes away from the screen and smiled at me. He looked really cute in his zip-up hoodie and grey jeans.

"I'm not pulling a Hannah Montana, come here." He opened his arms and I happily snuggled into his shoulder. I wasn't even paying attention to the movie, I had no idea what was even going on. Niall squeezed me during the scarier parts, so I took that as my que to suck in my breath, or the occasional scream. Before I knew it I remembered slowly drifting off.
