Chasing Ari (a 1D Fanfic )

Chapter 26

***Niall's POV***

Ari pulled her lips from mine all too soon.

"Thank you," she whispered softly only inches from my face. Her gaze fell as she placed her hands in her lap.

Her words replayed sweetly in my mind once more before I clutched her face in my hands and our lips met once more. 

It was a brilliant thing, kissing her. When her soft lips touched mine it just made me feel like the whole world around us disappeared for a while. 

Slowly, and reluctantly may I add, I parted from her. She was smiling almost madly to herself, avoiding my gaze. 

I heard the other singer start preforming another song from downstairs. The familiar beat to "Glad You Came", pumped through the speakers and made its way upstairs. 

Ari began nodding her head to the beat and singing along softly to herself.

I laugh softly to myself, " You should be up there too, you have a wonderful voice." 

Her eyes grow wide, "I'm supposed to go back. Oh my gosh, Courntey's going to kill me- " 

She's interrupted by the boom sound of thunder outside. She lets out a little shriek of freight and draws her knees to her chest.

Almost instantly she bursts into a fit of giggles. 

"Are you alright?" I question.

She's still laughing, "No. Not at all."  She conitues to laugh and starts singing along to the song once more.

"And I decided you looked well on me, well on me.

So lets go somewhere no one else can you," she winks playfully.

"You and me.

Turn the lights out now, now I-"

As if on cue another thunder boom rattles the house and knocks out the power. Screams erupt around the house, obviously no one expected that to happen. Ari and I laugh at the chaos happening below us. We hear the sound of something crashing and another shriek. Ari's mouth slips into an 'o' shape.

"You think they'll be okay?" I ask jokingly.

"They should be okay. But maybe we should go check?" She replays, rising from the couch. 

"Becareful!" I call after her as she races down the steps. 

She shoulda listened to me, Just as she was turning down a level of steps, another body smacks into her.

"Jesus, Aria!" Corey calls. "Crap, I'm sorry." 

She laughs, "its alright. Its my fault."

"Oh gosh, your dress." Corey trails off, pointing to the front of Ari's emerald green dress that was now stained with whatever was in Corey's cup.

She looks down and gasps. "Aww, this is not good. Not good."

Suddenly, another girl runs up the stairs almost running into Corey.

"Ohh, geez. Sorry, Core," her attention turns towards Arianna and her now destroyed dress. "You have to take that off! Before the stain sets in!"

"But I don't have clothes to change into, I'm gonna run around without clothes!" Arianna retorts. Hey, I don't think anyone wouldn't mind.

"Here, I have tights, all you need is like a shirt. " the girl digs through her purse and pulls out a pair of black tights. 

"Um, Emily," Corey says to the girl, "why do you have tights in your purse?"
