how fast the night changes

Chapter 3🖤

*Thanks for reading! I promise it's starting to get good! Xx*

My hands shake as they go to knock on the door. After less than 2 seconds, the door opens swiftly. To my surprise, it's Niall who opens the door and I just stand there looking like a complete idiot. That is until Chris gives me a nudge letting me know I look ridiculous; standing there with my mouth wide.
"Olivia! Long time no see." Niall says in his husky Irish voice.
"Tell me about it." I say as he pulls me into a brief, but warm hug. I introduce him to Chris and we go inside. The room is cool, with a pool table and huge TV. But I don't care about them. The boys are sitting in a corner chatting when Niall announces our arrival. Liam immediately sprints across the room and pulls me into a close hug.

"Oh my God, Liv. You have no idea how good it is to see you." He says. I do know though. We both tear up a bit as we realise just how long it's really been and how so much has happened. Again, I introduce him and the other boys to Chris and he properly starts fan-girling over Harry. However, I shoot him a sly look and he calms down. For a while, we just chat. We chat about the last time I saw them and their amazing successes and my not quite so amazing successes.
"Anyone want some food?" Louis shouts from the kitchen area.
"Livia and I just came from Nando's actually so we're good." Says Chris.
"Speak for yourself mate!" I chuckle in reply.
"I fucking love Nando's!" Niall exclaims.
"It's so good!" I almost scream.
"I know right!!" He screams even louder and we both laugh. We continue to talk about the delights of Nando's for the next few minutes.

Fast forward an hour and we're all just sat round, drinking beers and having a laugh. I'm not quite sure why i was so nervous. I guess I forgot just how chilled and easy going the boys actually are. Liam and I are getting on like a house on fire, just like the 'good old days'. We exchange stories of our school days and the others are lapping it up.
"You never told me Olivia was your first kiss!" Zayn yells and we all laugh.
"Well, now you know." Says Li as he shoots me a smile.

We decide to play a game of truth or dare. Original, I know. We are currently trying to think of a good dare for Harry.
"Ooh I know!" Louis cries. "Kiss the best looking guy here." I look at Harry in the eyes and nod my head to Chris. I know it would make his day, his whole life in fact! Harry winks at me in response and I get butterflies. I guess the 'Styles effect' is a real thing, huh? All the boys apart from Harry close their eyes as they await a kiss which only one of them will receive. Harry smirks at me and puckers his lips and directs them towards Chris. I feel super excited on Chris's behalf right now! I'm sure he's dreamed of this moment many a time. Before I know it, he gently presses his lips against Chris's and I can see his skin turn from a shade of light brown, to a peachy pink. It's not a long kiss, for obvious reasons, but I can tell Chris thoroughly enjoyed it! He looks at me with his eyes and mouth wide and does a little air grabbing fist motion. We all chuckle at this.

Next thing we know, the boys are getting ready to go on stage.
"Liv?" Says Li.
"Yeh?" I smile.
"I'm sorry." He says, tearing up. I know what he means. And I forgive him. In response I simply pull him into a tight hug.
"Go and smash it you guys!" I shout at the boys. Harry winked back at me, Zayn and Louis gave me a thumbs up and Niall flashed me a huge grin. I can't lie, it makes my stomach flip. In a good way, I think.
