Taken ((N.H.))

Chapter 5

-Cece's POV-

I walk a good distance behind Niall to the kitchen. I was only about 2 or 3 feet behind him. As we entered the kitchen, I stayed in the doorway, leaning against the frame.

"You can come in here, you know." He said beginning to take sandwich stuff out. I slowly stepped closer to the island in the middle of the kitchen where Niall began preparing our sandwiches. "What do you want on your sandwich, Cece?" He asked.

"I-It doesn't r-really matter." I stutter and look down at my hands. I began to nervously fiddle them as I heard Niall come to the other side of the island where I was.

"It's ok. You can have whatever you want. Just tell me." He places his hands on top of mine and intertwines his hands with mine.

I look up at him nervously and he looks back. He bites his bottom lip and plays with his lip ring. His gaze flicks down to my lips and back to my eyes. I do the same. He stepped closer and my heart rate increased. Our faces were centimeters apart, our noses brushing slightly. I closed my eyes as his breath fanned my lips.

I was breathing hard as he brushed our lips together. The house phone suddenly rang, scaring both of us. Niall groaned in frustration as he unlatched our hands and went over to the house phone. He clicked on the answer button and went into the living room. I slowly made my way to the doorway and eavesdropped.

"What do you want Josh?" He spit angrily. Who's Josh?

"I'll have it done by tomorrow."

"Don't worry, they won't be a problem."

He hangs up the phone and comes back in the kitchen.

"What was that about?" I ask quietly.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." He says facing the counter, back towards me.

"It was something. And it's not like I'm gonna tell anyone anyway." I retort.

"I said fucking drop it!" He shouts. I jump at his raised voice. I know then, to stop pushing the limit with him.

I stay quiet the rest of the time. When he sends me up to my room, I just curl up in my corner.

I'm so stupid. I should know by now, it's easy to piss him off. I could've just kept my mouth shut.

My mind wanders to the kiss we almost had. My heart was beating so fast like a hummingbird's. What would happen if he did kiss me?

Would he act like nothing happened after? Or would he want to be something more?

Well whatever it is, I don't think it will happen again.

((Sorry for the short chapter guys!! I'll make the next one longer, I promise.

*Pink Promises you*

Ok, and I'm also going to be posting a new book I think. I still have to debate on the idea. But I'll also be updating "Suicide Attempt" soon.

Alrighty!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
