One Thing ➳ n.h

Chapter 10

Emma's POV

I walk through the apartment door and Kiki is pacing back and forth. She looks straight into my eyes, runs over to me and envelopes my body with hers.

"You scared me half to death Emmaline! Please don't do that again" she says parting from my body.

"Emmaline" Louis asks with a giddy look on his cheeks.

"Yea it's what she calls me, Lou" I say loud enough for all the boys to hear so that no one else asks me that question.

"That's a perfect nickname for you! Emmaline.... I like the sound of that!"

"Ok Lou" I say laughing and rolling my eyes as the 5 boys pile into my apartment.

"I'm glad you're ok to Niall" Kiki greets him with a hug.

"Thanks Kiki" he says calmly as they separate.

She smiles and skips off to Harry who is sprawled out on our sofa along with the rest of the boys. Niall takes my hand and leads me into the kitchen and closes the door behind him. I lean up against the counter and rub my shoulder.

"You gonna be ok" he asks rubbing my arm.

"What? My arm? I'll be fine just a little sore" I answer.

He connects his hands behind my back and scans my face for anything I'm not telling him.

"I'm really sorry about tonight" he finally says looking to the ground.

"It wasn't your fault. It wasn't any ones fault" I reassure him.

"You could've been hurt, or worse" he says shivering at the thought.

"But I wasn't. You saved me..." I say and he picks up his gaze from the floor to my eyes.

Whenever we make eye contact I always get lost in his perfect eyes. They are the most magnificent shade of blue that kind of reminds me of the morning sky.

"You have really beautiful eyes" he says as if he were reading my mind.

"Yeah they change colors" I say.

"Really that's cool."

"They go from blue, to green, to grey."

"Well right now they are the most perfect blue - green" he says with a smile making me blush "You're also cute when you blush."

"You talk to much Nialler."

He leans into me and presses his warm lips against mine. I put my hands on his chest and feel the pounding of his heart. I love it how we move and fit together almost perfectly. Like we we're made for each other. He pulls away from me and I tuck my head under his chin. I can feel his heart beat, it's the most comforting thing in the world. Immediately I think of One Thing and the lyrics.
