Call Her Gorgeous Like It's Her Name [Niall Horan]

Chapter 11

*GOREGOUS' POV*

"Louis!" I scolded. "Tell me where they are right now!" This game has gone on for too long. First Niall and I couldn't find any of them, and honestly I began to worry a bit. Finally we found Liam, Zayn, and Louis crammed under the bed in Harry and Zayn's room. Sady both of the boys' bedrooms couldn't even be considered bedrooms anymore. More like a pig's pen if you ask me!

"I'm telling you, we don't know where they are!" Lou pleaded back at me. The other two nodded in agreement as I rolled my eyes. Niall slapped his hand to his face and wiped it down, stretching out his features stressfully. He seamed to have fatigued due to physical and emotional exhaust. Couldn't say I wasn't going through the same thing...

"We HAVE to find them. Come out guys! We know you're hiding!" I screamed throughout the house. I guess I yelled so loud that all four boys covered their ears in pain. That's when we heard a thumping sound on the roof.

"Are they..?" Zayn trailed off, everyone knowing the end of his question.

"Let's go!" Louis shouted, running out the back door. Everyone followed in a hurry. As soon as I gazed up at the starry sky, I saw what looked to be a happy couple on top of Harry's house.

"Harry, Eli, they found you! Come down before you hurt yourself!" Liam requested. Harry smiled a side grin as he held Eli's hand to steady her as they made their way across the roof. She took the trip down the unsteady ladder first as Harry shouted words of encouragement.

"Come on, Eli! Only a little bit to go! Don't look down! Just look at me! Focus!" Honestly he was being a true sweetheart to my sister. I ship em.

Wow. Did I just ship my sister and a member of the band I created?

I'm weird.

"You are sneaky, sneaky people!" Liam announced bluntly, pointing a long finger at Eli and Haz. Haz? Where did I come up with that nickname? Whatever.

"Now that we finally found you two..," Niall trailed off, "who's up for a fire?" Once Harry followed Eli and their feet were planted firmly on the ground, they nodded in agreement.

"Sounds good, mate!" Liam said as he and Harry left to collect firewood. I shot Eli a look of curiosity. What was going on with her and Harry?

'I'll tell you later.' she silently mouthed. Eli sat on a wooden bench that surrounded the fire pit. Zayn sat on the far end of the bench away from her. Louis sat next to Niall and I on the bench swing, squeezing me in the middle.

When Liam and Harry returned, they started a fire surprisingly easy. Harry settled himself next to Eli, and Liam planted himself between Zayn and Harry.

After a while of telling stories of our past into the starry night, Niall left my side, along with the warmth.

"I'm so...cold..," my teeth chattered. Between the two boys, I had been pretty damn warm. Now with one gone, it felt like I was in the middle of fucking Antarctica. No wonder Liam and Zayn changed into sweatshirts!

"You cold, love?" Louis asked me, grabbing a hold of my shoulder and pulling me closer into his warmth. How he was this hot was beyond me.

"J-j-just a little," my teeth chattered. He nuzzled me even closer. I rested my head on his broad shoulder, and although I was freezing on one side, I was also very comfortable.

"Gorg?" Niall gasped a little dramatically. I shot up from my position just to see shock glazed in his eyes. Nialler now held a nice guitar in his hands. Oh my god. He probably thinks I like Lou! But I like him!

"Niall it's nothing," I assured him. He settled down stiffly in the middle this time, pushing me on the far end away from Louis.

"What's wrong mate?" Louis asked, sounding pretty concerned. Little did everyone know that earlier Niall and I shared a perfect short lived kiss.

"Nothing..." Wow. So Niall was the jealous type? Alrighty then. Am I the only one who thinks jealous boys are attractive boys? Yeah? Okay then.

Niall started to strum different chords on his instrument. Oh, how I wished I knew how to play. I asked my dad to give me lessons when I was little, but he was always too busy. I also asked for professional lessons, but mom didn't think it was educational enough to waste money on.

"So guys..," Harry started after about a half hour of mindless chatting accompanied by Niall's guitar. By now I was so sleepy.

"Yeah?" Zayn asked.

"While we were hiding today, Eli and I sort of, kissed..." Surprise surprise. Nobody seemed affected by this obvious news.

"And then I asked her to be my girlfriend."

"I said yes." My eyes flipped open and my mouth formed an O. This would be Eli's fifth boyfriend. The others were complete dicks, so of course I had to be protective over her. She's never had any real parents to look after her, so I was the one she came to after her first kiss, not mom. I was the one she came to when one of her dates went amazing, not mom. I was the one she came to after heartbreak, not mom. I was the Katniss, and she was the Prim I suppose.

"Guys! That's so cute!" Liam spoke up. Niall stopped playing the guitar so the air was awkwardly silent. Harry and Eli's stares searched our faces for approval.

"I'm completely glad for you both. I must warn you though, Harry. You break my sister's heart, and I will purposely break your face, cut your curls, and boil your body. Understand?" Did that sound too harsh? Nah! I was going easy on him.

"I couldn't hurt her Gorg," he replied calmly and sweetly. I truly believed him too. Everyone returned to their conversations, and I began to warm up a bit on the side due to the fire.

Soon I was deep in thought, staring into the burning flames. Niall's guitar sang a blissful lullaby to me, and while leaning against his side I fell asleep.

As I pried my eyes open, my vision was blurred. I saw a light sky, a foggy burnt out fire...was I still outside?

"Morning sleepy," I heard a particular accent say to be from below.

"Morning Irish." I felt Niall's warm arms squeeze my waist tighter.

"I guess we fell asleep on each other last night." Morning. Voice. Wait a minute. Did he say we fell asleep..on each other? My eyes widened a little more to reveal an awake Niall Horan smiling under my body. Well this was unexpected!

"Niall! I'm so sorry!" I apologised, immediately hopping off of him.

"For what?!" Now I was cold again without his warmth under me. The day was nice and it had to be at least seventy degrees out, but I was still cold. Gorgeous did not warm up easily if you couldn't have told already.

"I probably crushed you all night!" I exclaimed. He looked at me with such surprise, that I wondered what I said wrong.

"Gorgeous, you couldn't crush me. You don't weigh half as much as you'd have to weigh to crush me. I pulled you on top of me last night anyway. You're so cute when you sleep." I quickly felt my cheeks heat up to a light red.

"Thanks, Niall." I then sat on him gently, slowly applying pressure. Me smiled up at me and sat up, so that I was sitting on his legs and our eyes were on the same level. He leaned in at a painfully slow pace, until his soft lips brushed over mine. I eagerly leaned in the rest of the way, kissing him fully. My hands fisted in his platinum hair as his landed on my hips.

"Stop snogging out there!" I heard Louis yell from inside through an open window. Niall pulled away reluctantly, rolling his eyes slightly. What was wrong with him? He's acted so rudely to Lou since last night. I get that we're pretty much together now, but it's not like we're dating. He never asked me...

"Niall! It's too early for condoms!" I heard a familiar accent of Zayn's joke. This time we both giggled, and our cheeks both tinted pink from embarrassment.

"C'mon, Nialler. Let's get ready for the day."
