The Duet

*Niall's POV*

"Is that too much to ask" I finished singing and Zayn looked up at me again.

He was laying his on my lap and I was running my hand through his hair. "You just sound amazing, I love the song too." He said.

"I feel so comfortable with you." I said and he smiled.

He grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me down to kiss him. I put my hand on his stomach as we kissed and then my phone started ringing.

"Let it ring." He said kissing me.

"What if it's important." I said pecking his lips a couple more times.

I grabbed it and looked at the caller I.D. Speak of the devil. I sighed and answered.

"What?" I asked and Zayn got up and began kissing my neck and I smiled because he was being distracting on purpose.

"You know not that it's any of my business, but you might wanna release the news that you're screwing Zayn so they stop fucking asking me about it." Liam said.

"And maybe you need to worry about yourself. You're right. Not that what I do is ANY of your business. What I do is my business, so next time before you call me about what you assume I'm doing, while we're not together might I fucking add, you think about is it any of your damn business. People ask multiple different people about subjects and other artist and celebrities that don't know shit from shit so how about you don't speak on what you can't. you're not obligated to speak on anything about me. Let them know why we broke up and then you can call me." I said and hung up.

"Letting him rile you up," Zayn said.

"Who said I was riled up?" I said smiling.

"Do you wanna do something today?" He asked.

"To say the least, I'm running out of clothes. A weekend thing turned into a week long thing but I like it here. I'm talking to my fans, family, and friends all while enjoying your company." I said biting my lip a little.

"I'm enjoying yours too. My favorite is when we're in the music room. Can I help you out the instruments behind that song?" He asked me.

"I'd like that very much." He said and I got up.

We went upstairs and we end up finishing up that song and then I began starting another.

I started writing down something. "Can I have a duet with you?" I asked him.

"I would be honored." He said wrapping his hand around my waist as we sat on the piano bench.

"Sing this with me okay. It's sad but I thought most of this around the time when me and Li broke up and I couldn't do anything else." I said and he nodded.

I started singing and the next part we sung together and we continued to sing and write and he looked at me and I looked at him.

"Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me. That I wanna keep. Please don't leave. Please don't leave" we sing together.

He leaned into me and I tipped my head up and we kissed and his other hand dropped drop the piano to wrap around my waist.

"Such a sad song and we're here making out." I said and he laughed against my lips.

"I told you I'd be whatever you want me to be and I could plant that flicker of hope in you again." He said and I blushed as he kissed my neck.
