Two Right Feet

CHAPTER FOUR: NIALL'S FLAT

We walked to Niall's flat. It was an ample two-roomed flat. One room was Niall's room, and the other was a game room. From how the guys had described Niall, I would have thought that it'd be a food storage room. So, I was quite disappointed when it wasn't. I had looked forward to sneaking a midnight snack.

I put my bag on the small settee and pulled out a thin blanket from it. Thankfully, it was warm, so it'd be suffice. I walked over to the larger settee and set it the blanket down.

"What are you doing?" Niall crooked his head, quizzically.  

"I'm setting up my temporary sleeping post."  

"I'm not letting you sleep on the settee."  

"Well, then where am I suppose to sleep?" I was a bit confused. 

"In my bed."  

"And, you?" 

"In my bed." He stated, simply. He walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth. I went to the other bathroom to change into my pjs. I washed my face and got ready. I grabbed my phone and cut across the kitchen to get to his room. I walked into his room and saw that he had only his boxers on.  

"Sorry!" I covered my eyes. 

"It's okay. But... Um... I'm done changing."  

"Okay. Are you comfortable in that?" He was just wearing his boxers... 

"Yeah. It's really warm tonight." I climbed into the bed and covered myself in the welcoming quilt. I felt the bed dip, as Niall got in the bed, too. I turned the pillow to the cold side and wriggled deeper into the quilt. I felt Niall scoot closer to me. Then I felt a warm hand rest on my arm.  

"Harmony?" 

"Yeah?" 

"Erm... I kind of... Well, this might seem a bit straight up, but... I really like you. You're different than other girls. You're down-to-earth and REAL." 

"I really like you, too. You're different from other celebrities. You appreciate reality." I whispered. I traced my finger around his right arm. His left arm was wrapped around my waist. His head was leaning toward mine, and I stiffened. Was he going to kiss me? He leaned further and confirmed my suspicions. His lips lightly pushed on mine, as he is a very shy boy. I leaned in and kissed him back, harder. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he ran his right hand through my hair. Niall's lips were very soft and not chapped at all. I smiled slightly whilst he wrapped his arms around me tighter. I ran my fingers down the back of his neck and felt him subtly smile. Our foreheads were touching, and I could feel him wanting to pull away. So, I pulled back. 

"What's wrong?" Holy... It's because I kissed him back, isn't it? Instantly, I started internally freaking out.

Niall ran his hand through his blonde hair. "I'm really tired from today's performance. I want to catch some shut-eye before tomorrow's signing. Would you like to come with us?" 

I smiled in the dark. "I'd love to go." He kissed me on the forehead, curled his arm around my waist, and closed his eyes. I turned to face him and curled up next to him.  

I woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. Niall was still dead asleep, and I didn't want wake him up, as it was still only seven. So, I got up and checked to see who it was. I stood on my tippy toes to look through the peep-hole on the door. It was Louis, so I opened the door.
