Just a note, for those who care but I doubt anyone will, I got a large haircut between my last post and now, so my examples will now all have short hair!

Chapter 26 : Her chapter
OLIVIA
My night (or more, my morning) was filled with crazy but realistic dreams and devoid of any kind of nightmares. Apparently, my mind was filled with beautiful things despite the fact that I had broken up with the man I thought I was going to marry only a few days before.
What woke me up, however, was something twisting in my stomach and the uncontrollable twitching of one of my legs. I squirmed despite myself as slumber left me and let out a short whimper. I tried to remember what I had been dreaming about but no matter what it was, nothing could compare to the feeling I was having at that moment and it intensified with every second.
Niall was between my legs, his tongue running on my lips and brushing my clit from time to time and after enjoying it for a few more minutes, I moved my knees up, my feet flat on the mattress.
"Mm, this is the best way to wake up." I mumbled low before whimpering again.
I was happy I had taken the time to clean myself a bit the night before and brought my hands to my breasts as I bit my bottom lip. I hated to smell bad and I also hated to get in a bed when I hadn't taken a shower. I didn't tell Niall, but I had stopped at my place before going to his. I had dropped my luggage there, took a quick shower and brought clean clothes and a few things in a bag. It didn't really matter since he was asleep when I got there but I didn't really think it was worth mentioning.
"You're awake, finally!" Niall let out with a small chuckle as I groaned low.
"Don't stop, I was getting so close."
"Yea? Let's make you cum then." he whispered right before I felt his lips wrap around my clit.
My back arched and I let out a curse word as he started sucking on it. I gripped both my breasts hard as I concentrated on the pleasure he was giving me to reach my orgasm and when my body started shaking, It felt like all the stress I had accumulated in the past few days had suddenly vanished. It took longer than I thought to get down from my high but when I did, my mind was blank and I had a stupid smile plastered on my face. I was just telling myself what a shame it was that I had been asleep for most of it when Niall's tongue started running on my slit again, making me twitch again every time it would brush against my clit.
"You didn't think I was going to give you only one orgasm, did you?" he just said in a low tone before slipping his tongue inside me.
I held my breath as he started tongue fucking me harder until his tongue slid to my asshole, making my eyes roll back. I whimpered a short "fuck!" as he pushed his tongue inside and without thinking, I reached for his hair, gripping it tight.
"Oh my god, you're making me horny again."
He kept running his tongue on me and it felt so good I started feeling my asshole throb in rhythm with my clit. He brought his tongue back up and slid it again in my pussy as I started to grind against him, feeling it reach deeper inside me but it's only when I felt his thumb rub against my clit that I let out a louder "Oh!" as I shuddered again. I felt an other orgasm form in the pit of my stomach and after a minute or two or staying immobile, my back arched, and i tried focusing on every movement of his tongue and thumb. I moaned louder and shook against him again as I came for the second time.
"Fuck, fuck fuck." I whispered, making him laugh as he moved over me to kiss me hard.
He pushed his tongue in my mouth and I closed my eyes, whimpering as he let me taste my own orgasm. He kept kissing me for a minute or two before taking my bottom lip in his mouth and sucking on it gently. He nibbled on it and I ground up to feel his cock against me, making him laugh a bit.
"I'm not done with you." he just said, laughing more.
Slowly, he got back between my legs but I brought my hands over my pussy, shaking my head.
"Noo, no!"
"Sensitive?" he asked in an amused tone, raising his eyebrows as I pressed my lips together. "Good. Because I told you I'd spend an hour between your legs and it's barely been half of one. I keep my promises too. Spread your legs little one."
My heart jumped at the nickname he gave me and slowly, I took my hand back and pulled my knees apart. His eyes dropped to my pussy and he brought one of his fingers on me, running it on my slit and before pushing it inside me. I could hear how wet I was from my two previous orgasms and whined low, making his lips curl.
"Fuck, you're so wet."
He pressed his whole hand on my pussy and rubbed it slowly and gently, spreading my wetness all over me before reaching for my ass. I felt both my legs tense and he waited until I relaxed again to push a finger inside. My eyes fluttered close and I bit hard on my bottom lip as I leaned my head back on the pillow.
"I didn't remember how tight your ass was." he expressed low, mostly to himself. "I'm sure you're ready for a third orgasm princess, aren't you?"
He didn't wait for my answer, and probably didn't even expect one, and just moved down again to run his tongue from my ass to my clit as my legs twitched once again. He moved his head on the side to suck on my one of my lips for a while before doing the same thing with the other. It was incredible how easily he could turn me on, even if I had already came twice but I just didn't want him to stop. Bringing his mouth back slightly up, he started moving his finger in and out of my ass slowly as the tip of his tongue pressed on my clit before flicking against it.
"Holy f-"
I was still sensitive but the pleasure was more intense than anything else and I used all my strength left not to pressed my thighs on his face. I could still feel his stubble scratch my skin and for a reason I ignored, it turned me on even more.
"Mm, Niall please don't stop."
He kept his movements steady and finally added a finger in my pussy, alternating between sucking and licking my clit. I reached down again, slipping my fingers in his hair until I reached the back of his head. Without thinking, I pushed him against my pussy, forcing him on me as I felt his lips rub and suck anywhere he could reach. The simple thought was incredibly arousing and my back arched again as I came on his face, quivering against him.
It's only when my body got limp on the mattress that he pulled away and wiped his mouth on the inside of my thigh before letting out a short laugh. I kept my eyes closed but I felt him move over me. His mouth reached mine and I allowed him to kiss me deeply as I let out a short whimper, too spent to even move my arms around him.
"I should go back between your legs for an other round." he finally whispered, making me chuckle.
"Enough, I can't anymore." I admitted, opening my eyes to meet his before my lips curled. "Now lay down i'm gonna return the favor."
He stared in my eyes a few seconds and bent down to kiss my lips gently. "Nop!" he said with a smirk, popping the 'p' before moving away from me.
I let my eyes follow him and sat up with a frown, grabbing the sheets of the bed and pulling them on me, feeling suddenly cold. I already missed his body and I just watched him get dressed in silence. He finally turned to me and I tilted my head, enjoying the sight before sending him a small smile.
"This is the first time I witness a man saying no to a blowjob."
"I'm not saying no to a blowjob, Liv." he explained with a chuckle. "But this morning was just about you. Just you."
"But I could make you cum very very hard." I pointed out in a childish voice before raising my nose up with a pout.
It made him laugh even more as he put his watch on. "I said just you!" he repeated, amused. "You need to learn how to receive without having to give back. Besides, pleasing you pleased me, and that should be enough."
I stared at him as he finished getting ready and felt my whole body burn from the inside. At that exact moment, I wanted to be with him. I wanted to officially date him and tell the whole fucking world that I was in love with him, that I always was and that I always would be. I didn't know if it was the post orgasm feeling or just the sudden realization that he was perfect for me but either way, I had to hold my breath for a few seconds to make sure I didn't tell him everything that had just crossed my mind. After all, I used to tell him things like that when we dated and it always scared him... would it still scare him away now?
Quickly, I got up and walked to him, wrapping my arms around him and leaning my cheek on his chest. I hugged him tight and he did the same, leaning his chin on the top of my head. It was probably a weird sight since I was completely naked and he was dressed, but I needed to be in his arms at that exact moment and not two seconds later.
"I'm so happy you're here." he whispered as I felt myself tear up.
I closed my eyes and swallowed the lump in my throat as I tried not to cry and after a while, he kissed my forehead and pulled away to look in my eyes.
"Take a shower if you want, or get dressed or something. I'll go get some food and come back, if it's okay with you."
It was not really okay just because I didn't want him to leave but I knew it was stupid and I just sent him a small smile and a nod. He pulled away and I quickly grabbed one of his shirts and put it on, along with some sweatpants before following him to the living room. I watched him put his shoes on and he looked up at me with a smile.
"Coffee and some croissants, good for you?" he asked, making me chuckle and nod. "Did I pronounce it right?"
"Not really, but it was close." I pointed out, making him laugh and shrug.
He turned around to leave and suddenly something jumped in my chest and I called his name, maybe a bit too loud. He had already opened the door but he let go of the knob to turn my way. I took a few seconds to look at him and tilted my head, letting my eyes move up and down slowly on him like it was the first time. I was single, and he was single too, and somehow, I felt like there was hope for us. Somehow, I believed in us completely for the very first time since I bumped into him again and I didn't know how to handle it.
"I came back to you, like you asked."
Slowly, he walked back to me, staring in my eyes, and I could feel my heart beat so hard in my chest that my body started throbbing. He cupped my face gently and pressed his lips on mine, not moving for a few seconds before pulling away and leaning his forehead against mine.
"Thank you." he whispered before kissing my forehead and walking backwards until the door. "I'll do quick."
After the door closed behind him, I remained motionless for a few minutes, just trying to calm the beatings of my heart but I finally shook my head and walked to the living room, grabbing my computer and bringing it to the kitchen. I placed it on the table and sat in front of it before calling my parents. It barely took a few seconds for them to answer and when I saw my mom, a smile small smile appeared on my lips. It grew when she yelled at my dad and I chuckled.
"Jean! C'est notre fille!" she let out before turning back to me and smiling. "How are you? How is Dylan?" she asked with the strongest french accent just as my dad sat next to her, handing her a glass of wine.
It was around 7pm in France and they were about to dine while I hadn't even had breakfast yet and I suddenly missed them more than ever. For some reason, my parents always talked english when I called them, probably so Dylan didn't feel out of the conversation, and I was grateful for that. They were the most understanding persons I knew and they were always there for me. I knew how lucky I was, even if they were far away, but that didn't mean what I had to tell them was easy.
"Where is your little boyfriend?" my dad asked with a smile as my mom taped his knee gently.
"Fiancé!" she corrected him, making something stir in my stomach.
"That's... why I called you today." I started, holding my breath. I looked down and sighed before looking back up at them. "The marriage is off, I'm sorry."
"What?" my mom frowned, shaking her head.
"Nous ne nous marions plus."
Both my parents stared at me in shock and I felt like I had to explain myself more, to give a few good reasons... to justify myself. I hated that feeling but they were my parents and I wanted to say something, I just wasn't sure what it was.
"I just... I wasn't feeling it anymore."
"You don't have to say anything." my mom cut me quickly. "But I have one question." I breathed in and licked my lips before nodding slowly. "Are you happy right now?"
My lips curled in a fond smile. I didn't expect that question and I nodded again.
"Then, it's enough for us." my dad replied. "Where are you now? I do not recognize your kitchen."
I smiled and raised my nose up, not really sure I wanted to tell them but I let out a short chuckle as I heard the front door open and close. I was not ashamed to be with Niall but I had no idea what my parents would say.
"Liv! I'm back!"
Both my parents' faces changed when they recognized his voice and my mom got closer to the camera of her computer, raising her eyebrows.
"Tu sais ce que tu fais?"
"Yea don't worry, I know what I'm doing." I confirmed with an other nod just as Niall walked in.
He stopped and I turned to him just as he raised up his nose. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt anything."
"No, no, no problem," my dad said with a sincere smile, making mine grow too as I tilted my head. "How are you, son?"
I closed my eyes in embarrassment but Niall just chuckled, leaning against the table to see my parents better. I watched them interact for a while and realized how much I had missed that and how much it reminded me of my old life. The three of them started laughing and I got out of my thoughts, letting my eyes run from my computer screen to the love of my life, pressing my lips together.
"Are you two going to come visit us soon?"
"Yes, yes of course, I'll try to find a good time" I assured, hoping I could keep that promise. "I promise I'll call you back soon."
We said our goodbyes and I put my computer away as Niall was sitting in front of me, taking the croissants off the box he had brought and handing me a coffee cup. We started eating in silence and after a while, I sighed.
"I broke up with Dylan."
Niall stopped chewing immediately and his lips parted slightly. "What?"
"That's why I went to Italy in first place. That's why I was in a hotel room. That's why I came back quickly. I mean, I missed you, it's true, but also, I had nothing to do and no one to see there. I broke up with him and I just called my parents now to be sure they wouldn't hear it from anyone else but me." I let out very quickly. "And that's also why I'm telling you. I don't want you to find out from someone else."
I tried to read how he felt on his traits but it seemed impossible and I started playing with my fingers out of stress. I was scared of what he thought and I also didn't want him to feel guilty about anything. How could I tell him that I hadn't broken up with Dylan for him, but for myself? He slid both his arms on the table and grabbed my fingers, squeezing them tight before looking up in my eyes.
"It must have been tough for you, are you okay?" he asked in a soft tone as my lips parted in surprise. "I know it's not an easy thing to do I mean, you two have been through a lot, and you clearly had something strong. I know you enough to believe you did that not because of a lack of love but because you weren't into it anymore, because it didn't feel right for you."
I nodded as I nibbled on my bottom lip. I was not surprised that he knew me so well, and I loved that he did. No one else could understand me like Niall did.
"Look, I know it doesn't mean you're ready to jump back in a relationship with me. I know it has nothing to do with me. But I'm here for you, okay? Everything will be okay, I promise."
I remained silent for a few seconds and finally smiled at him, squeezing his fingers back.
"Thank you." I whispered. "I didn't know how to tell you."
He smiled back and after a while, we let go of each other's hands and started eating again in silence. I couldn't stop thinking about Dylan, now that we had mentioned him, and I was wondering how he felt and if he hated me. I wouldn't text him though, it was too soon, and although it wasn't my intention, it would just make it worse, I knew it.
"I saw an article about Dylan and this blonde girl and I thought he was cheating on you. God." Niall admitted with a sigh. "I didn't know how to tell you."
"A blonde girl?" I asked as he nodded before grabbing his phone and typing something on it. He turned the screen my way and I chuckled. "That's the girl who plays in the movie with him. She's taken. By an other girl."
Niall chuckled and shook his head. "I knew not to give credit to these stupid articles."
"How did you find that article anyway?" I asked with a frown, leaning against my chair and taking a sip of my now lukewarm coffee.
"I was..." he started, looking away and scratching the back of his head. "I was searching for pictures of you."
I frowned with a smile, shocked but amused by his words, and let out a short chuckle. "You have plenty of pictures of me on your phone, Nee."
"I know, I just missed you, don't judge me." he laughed, making me smile again.
I'd never judge him for that. I had googled him every night for about a year after we broke up and I couldn't stop myself. He knew, I had told him a few weeks before, and it was embarrassing enough that I didn't want to mention it again. I couldn't pretend I didn't like what he did, though, and the fact that the roles were sort of reversed now was refreshing. I didn't want him to hurt the way I had, of course, and I had no intention to break his heart, but it still felt amazing to see him so in love with me, way more than he seemed to be when we dated.
"I'm leaving soon, you know." he suddenly said, making me frown. "On tour, I mean. In a few weeks. And you're probably gonna start filming your tv show soon."
I nodded, feeling a hole in my chest at the thought of being separated from him for too long. Now that he was back in my life, I didn't want to be away from him again. It was probably crazy and not at all rational, but I couldn't stop the feeling of emptiness that seemed to invade my whole body.
"I have a few weeks off, I can always come back but also..." he started, clearing his throat. "I thought maybe you could fly to me when you're not filming?"
I tried to hide the smile that spread on my lips without much success. He smiled back and let out a chuckle before raising his eyebrows.
"Is that a yes?"
"I'm sure we can make our schedules work." I just replied with a happy smile, shrugging.
"Perfect."
I got up and threw away the box before emptying what was left of my cold coffee in the sink and throwing the cup in the bin too. I felt Niall close to me and tilted my head slightly when his lips reached for my neck. He put himself behind me, wrapping his arms around me and it made me whimper low as I closed my eyes. Niall has always been an affectionate person but this was really beyond my memories and expectation.
"I have something to ask you." he whispered, making me chuckle low.
"That's why you're all over me?"
"Mm no, I'm all over you because I love you." he explained, making me chuckle louder this time. "You know that wedding we're all supposed to go to?"
I didn't really want to go and I was ready to try and find an excuse not to, if only because it reminded me that I was not getting married anymore. The wedding in itself was not a big deal, but the fact that I just broke up with my boyfriend sort of was. Still, I knew it was important for my friends. I couldn't seem to remember who was getting married but I knew it was someone they all knew and had met through One Direction, and I closed my eyes, telling myself that it could be fun and that I really should go, right?
"Mmhm."
"Do you want to be my date?"
I held my breath, not expecting those words and finally chuckled. "Really?"
"Yea." he confirmed in a whisper. "No paps, mostly likely no one posting anything on social media. You're just my date, I make you dance, and I steal a few kisses whenever i can when no one's looking."
The thought was tempting and I wanted to say yes. Besides, it seemed like the only thing that made me lean towards going instead to find an excuse not to go. I turned around to face him and his lips found mine quickly as I smiled against his mouth.
"I need to ask you something, first."
Reluctantly, he pulled away and looked in my eyes. I licked my lips and sighed, trying to make sense in my head before anything. It was not easy. All I could think about was how blue his eyes were and how much I loved him. I brought my hands to his cheeks and brushed my thumbs on them, feeling his stubble on my other fingers before tilting my head.
"I would prefer to.. keep this to ourselves, for now." I let out, making him smile more.
"I'm not really the type to call the paps on us, you know me." he pointed out, making me smile a bit more.
"I know but I meant, not telling our friends either. Not telling anyone." I explained more as his smile faltered slightly. "I need time to think about all this, and I don't want everyone to get into this or to.. mettre leur grain de sel. I want it to be our business, no one else's."
His eyes roamed on my face for a few seconds but his arms were still holding me close. He was not letting me go, and It was comforting.
"Okay, petal." he gave in after about a minute, but I could swear I heard sadness in his voice. "It'll be our secret."

Tumblr media
           IT WAS NEARLY MIDNIGHT, and a disturbing sort of cold Y/N thought she might never experience in her lifetime, shivers up and down her spine within the dark, suffocating corridor. The stars were like silver dewdrops splattered across the navy sky, visible through each old window’s silhouette littered around the castle; with every passing step, Y/N caught another glimpse of Nature’s finest canvas. She was curled into Sirius’s side, squished between his subtly muscled body and James’s near-identical shape, both Remus and Peter trailing the three of them by seconds. It was reminiscent of times that seemed so far away.
         Y/N thought it was all too good to be true. Everything, from her and Sirius falling back into same-old, same-old routine like they’d never left the honeymoon phase to James looking quite sullen compared to his usual upbeat, enthusiastic self. She wondered if it was all a twist on reality to make her think things were fine when really, Sirius wasn’t anywhere near, James still hated her, and the Marauders were leading her somewhere to hex and discard their latest “conquest.”  It made all the more sense the longer she thought about it, but thoughts of the way Sirius felt—flesh, bone, whole—made her realize she was daft, and just a little bit mad.
         He was so obviously here, a living, breathing wonder, and she was trying to make it a mirage. She wanted it that way.
         Or maybe she’d just went long enough with things going wrong that miracles seemed far too good to be true.
         “I have to meet with Regulus,” murmured Y/N into the quiet air, after the silence became a tad bit too smothering. She was also alert of her own negligence, from her delirious daze to her angry soul’s demands for an apology, as Sirius’s arm looped around her became a bone-crushing reality. Not so much a reality she craved anymore, but one that needed multiple bandages slapped across it; the Muggle way of rekindling old flames and licked wounds. Y/N was beginning to grow agitated and nervous, as this reality crushed down on her. As her newly-put-together world fell apart in the wake of unanswered questions. “He—wants to help. He thinks I was Obliviated.”
         Sirius glanced down at her, looking unsure, his own face not betraying the inner turmoil running their world ragged. The two of them didn’t know how to approach their current problem, the one that kept them from falling together as happy memories asked them to; Y/N was afraid of what lay in wait, Sirius’s admittance that he thought so lowly of her that for even a millisecond he thought she might have been a slag, and Sirius dreaded the moment he had to let his betrayal out into the open. Neither of them were willing to ruin their reconciliation by simple, trivial ire, the kind that winded up someone alone and heartbroken, the kind that could get anyone and everyone hurt.
         Even the most painful of thoughts were best kept internalized, if it meant staying locked tight in a dream.
         Even now, the two of them were so different. Differences Y/N once overlooked in favor of what made them compatible.  
“Regulus doesn’t care about anyone except for himself,” Sirius snapped at Y/N, the three Marauders looking nervous in anticipation for the argument to come. “He’s a Slytherin. The bloody git is tricking you.”
         “How the fuck would you know?” Y/N was never one for confrontation. This was all new territory. She was tired, and depressed, and dying of questions; she loved Sirius, she did, but he was still the prejudiced, arrogant prat he was before they started dating. He’d always hate Slytherins because he grew up in a world full of snakes that rejected him for being who he was, and maybe that was a drawn line for why they weren’t meant to last. He was the charismatic, hateful railroad tycoon, and she was his subdued wife that tiptoed around his temper. Stupid, foolish—she was letting herself use another goddamned Muggle analogy—Americanized, no less. Maybe Y/N was running low on a lucid mind as much as she was excuses.
         He knows nothing about Regulus, she thought anyway, looking into those silver grey eyes she’d always loved. Sirius didn’t. He refused to talk to his brother; maybe Regulus was growing into himself and losing that part of him that preened and prawned from pleasing his parents. If he was scared, if he was determined to find the truth because he wanted to sabotage dark plans, he never once betrayed it. But deep down, there was nothing else rational to explain his motivations, and Y/N knew he was a scared little boy afraid the monsters would someday catch up to him—
And they’d eat him alive like all wolves just so happen to do.
“Regulus is your brother,” continued Y/N. “He doesn’t want to be part of whatever it is your parents do. I can see it in his eyes.”
“You didn’t grow up with him. You didn’t see him do nothing when his brother was lying on the ground, with their father standing above him,” seethed Sirius. “Don’t act like you know him; you sure as hell don’t.”
Y/N felt like crying, as she wrenched herself away from Sirius’s warm, comforting embrace. “Don’t act like you know me,” she spat. Sirius’s jaw fell downwards, a flicker of hurt flitting across his face. “Go mope in your dorm. I’m getting down to the bottom of this, with or without you.”
Sirius was silent. Y/N continued to watch him, imploring him to say something, wishing he wouldn’t just let her leave. If she left, she could get hurt, and Sirius wouldn’t be her knight in shining armor. They went so long in turmoil that Y/N wanted there to be some sort of compromise; if they could argue and fight for so long, the two a mess with their friends on the fence on how to fix them, then they sure as hell could be soft and melted together, too. Maybe they were different, maybe Sirius couldn’t let his old ways go, but truth be told—Y/N always wanted to show him a new perspective.
She’d tried doing that before things went wrong.
“Really, Sirius?” she said now, staring brokenly at him. “We could finally figure this out, and you’re backing down? Really?”
“Whoever’s done this is dangerous,” Sirius told her. His voice had lost all its shake, all its fury, rendered a new sort of mellow Y/N had hardly ever seen from him. He looked like he itched to hold her and reassure he was just an asshat, but his asshat ways betrayed none of his true love for her, or his need to protect her. None, nada, zilch: right? He was a teenage boy, a prat, but he didn’t mean anything out of his pathetically unfiltered mouth. “I want you safe, Y/N. We should leave this to the professors.”        
Those words were foreign out of his mouth. Y/N took a heavy breath and she said, “Sirius, do you even hear yourself? Merlin, what’s happened to you?”
“What’s happened to me? Me?” Sirius’s laugh was humorless. “You’re bloody mad.”
“Sirius, Y/N, this isn’t the best time,” said Remus, looking between the two with apprehension.
“This is the best time, Remus,” Y/N said, refusing to look at any of them. She knew Peter was fidgeting; she knew James was gap-mouthed like a pufferfish; she knew Remus was trying to hide his trepidation. She knew Sirius was silently seething. All of them, they weren’t clearly thinking. They didn’t have their nerves together. Y/N was terrified that solving the bottom of the mystery would never come if they fell apart before they came together. But Y/N could no longer go on if her experience with the love of her life was only going to be heartache and pain, two things she had felt since coming to this God-awful school.
You’re not any better than him, thought Y/N, her brain suddenly going to Ashton. He was dead, and she’d never get to see him again; she’d never get to tell him she was sorry, that she never meant to use him, that he was someone she came to love in her desperation to feel. He taught her about love. He taught her that it was okay to be without for a little while because wholes always regain their lost pieces. Maybe he threw her into an abyss after he broke her heart that left her sad and lost of all hope, but now, with her head on her shoulders again, she could safely say he taught her a lot—yet she gained nothing.
Y/N was happy with Sirius, but he did not teach her anything. He was a fun partner in crime, but when it truly came down to life lessons, he wasn’t a teacher; he was along for the ride, a mere passenger in a bus packed to the brim with faces from the crowd.
Standing in the hallway, letting these thoughts wash over her, Y/N could not do this anymore. She needed to find Regulus and reach the climax of this game. Someone was toying with her and her feelings, and if she didn’t put a stop to it, if she didn’t find a way to draw the villain out and stifle the madness, there was no way for her to get peace—and she’d stay stuck in an endless cycle of being a living ghost.
“I can’t anymore, Sirius,” whispered Y/N. “I can’t.”
She turned around and ran.
The Marauders watched after her, one looking horrified, two looking shocked, and the one this mattered to most—he looked heartbroken.
And none of them even bothered to go after her, as the guilt sunk in and they realized—
Was the love-potion maker truly the villain? Or was it them?
-
Y/N had stopped running after reaching the fourth corridor. She eventually stopped walking altogether. Her pace slowed until it was nonexistent, her harsh, shaking breaths fell into soundless sniffs, her erratic thoughts slowly but surely came to a close. All she could think about now was Regulus, who was waiting at the library for her presence. And that half-blurry, half-familiar memory of a white-haired girl in the very same forest Y/N was in herself
Y/N knew it mattered. She knew she’d been Obliviated, and she was foolish not to go to Headmaster Dumbledore for help in retrieving her memories… but she was a foolish girl, and foolish girls wanted to figure out mysteries by themselves.
“I’m a bloody fool,” mumbled Y/N to herself, clutching her head like that would heal all trace of confusion, as well as her sadness. It wouldn’t, but it felt like it did—so Y/N continued to grope at her temples and scalp. The corridor echoed with spooky creaks and even spookier whistles. Y/N felt regret seep into her bones, as she realized she was still a bit of ways away from the library—and she was totally, utterly, completely alone.
Y/N heard someone laugh.
“You are a bloody fool,” they said.
Out from the end of the corridor emerged a girl, whose entire face and hair were obscured by shadows—but the pretty little patch on her robes had a snake on them. Y/N knew it was a Slytherin. But all she saw was the patch, as her body and face were near invisible—and even then, the patch’s emblazoning was blurry to her. She felt her head grow light, her eyes squinting to see within the darkness. She was so caught in looking at the patch to even pay any regard to the words the stranger spoke or the wand as it lifted, pointing right at Y/N’s chest.
“Who are—”
The girl flicked her wrist. “Stupefy,” she said.
Suddenly Y/N was knocked off her feet by a powerful spell, the backlash sending her head cracking against the corridor wall, rendering her immobile and near-unconscious.
She felt her body crumble, but only half of the way—a steady stream of numbness shooting through her like lightning.
         The stranger walked up, a laugh emptying from her mouth.
“Got you!” the girl sang happily.
That was when things went black.

1-37 for the LL ask~ :p
8)
Welp this is goin under cut for bein fuckin massive then lol
cept the first 3, ill keep them above the read more
1. Maki for u’s, You and Mari for Aqours (Yoshiko used to be one of my Aqours best girls, but she’s slipped a lil, mostly due to lack of appearances in SIF =_=)
2. I really like Yuu Aizawa, the sleepy stargazer. Her cards are really cute too ;3;
3. Nobody in PDP really sticks out for me right now, while I do still like them. If i had to choose tho, either Ai or Rina, just for both of them bein interesting
4. Only been playing since about October I think. More around the latter half of October just cos I vaguely recall not finishing the daily login calendar before it started fresh for November. But hey, I’ve stuck in longer w/ this than i have most things lol, maybe ill be able to make it to a year played!
5. Only on EN, though I have 2 accounts; my main, which was actually given to me by a friend who didn’t use it anymore, so I technically started from something that already had some progress to it, and my side account, which is more for casual playing
6. As of right now and what songs are available on EN, I’ve cleared nearly every song available. I’ll admit ive gotten a little lazy with my Easy and Normal songs since I mainly play Expert now, but with the current limited time goal to full combo 75 times, im goin back to my Easy and Normal songs and I’m clearing them to also fulfil that goal. 
Masters tho, lol I don’t touch those. Maybe a couple, but I dont count (not that I can anyway since they leave rotation after a while lol)
7. Admittedly, mostly Hard songs, just cos they still feel kinda fun but cos they’re slightly easier than Expert songs (obvs) they feel a little less stressful to play. :’D Some stand outs include Zurui yo Magnetic Today, Strawberry Trapper and Kimeta yo Hand in Hand.
(Which as a lil bit of bonus trivia, are all also songs I struggle w/ on EX :’D)
And a few Dailies as well (still on Hard) like Kohaku Biyori and Otome Shiki Renai Juku
8. Currently on my main i have the Aqours 3rd year badge (I think I equipped it as a good luck thing when I was scouting for V-day Mari) and my background is the UTX cafeteria to fit v-day Mari, who’s also my partner :’D
My side account, I just have the BiBi badge and I’m using the recent Aqours boat background
9. Shit :’’)
nah but seriously, I am Smile cursed like fuck (yet mostly w/ SSRs, haven’t gotten a Smile UR yet aside from Fruits Eli who came with my account), but my Pure luck w/ u’s is terrible. My Cool luck is alright tho, given that I’ve got a few SSRs and two of the 3 Cool URs I have are scorers :’D
My side account is much more Cool cursed tho, and once again, my Pure team seems to be suffering rip
Eternally anti-Pure cursed no matter the account
10. I have one example that I can list for the next point on this list, so I’ll list the other story I have;
I was scouting for Christmas You back when she came to EN, and the first scout I did (with a 10+1 ticket) crashed my game 8′’) so I didnt get to see the box open
So i booted my game up, kinda panicking in case I lost the scout after saving that ticket (that i’d bought w/ actual money). Went to the scouting screen first; red ticket option wasn’t available. Went to my member list and ordered by newest.
And You’s Initial UR was just sitting in my inventory 8′’D
(I’m still kinda salty I didn’t get Christmas You, but I still got a UR of her so… eh? 8′D Hopefully her Cyber card comes home when I scout for it!)
11. Literally all the best scouting luck I have seems to go toward my side account, cos I have 2 URs on there, and they’re both idolised 8′D
Like I’ve told both these stories on here before but fuckit, I’ll tell em again briefly;
I once used the green ticket you get w/ a new account just to scout and get a goal done w/ plus get another ticket; out comes Devil Nico
Later I had enough blue coupons to do a blue coupon scout; its a UR envelope, and its Devil Nico again 8′D
and now recently, I did two scouts for Animal Yoshiko; got her in both scouts, and she’s idolised as well.
12. Okay, so obvs anyone would say getting a single SR or SSR pull, and I’ve had those before, but I might as well talk about a scout i did on my main, back when Job Kanan was on EN
Ive got some 10+1 tickets and Im saving them to scout for both Angel Mari and Cyber You, but i decided to use one for the Job set, cos I could get another one when the start of the month packs came out
It was a single SSR
and it was Initial Mari
whom I already have, and idolised as well 8′D not even any rate up cards
the only plus side was that it meant a skill up for her and an SS seal for me
13. Completely caught up on my main lol
Side account, I’m up to ch16
14. Aside from scouting goals, cos I know there’s a point for that specifically, I’m mainly focusing on trying to improve playing Expert songs :’D and get Full Combos
15. Pretty much any You UR just cos I love her so much ;3; But specifically, her Christmas UR
As for Maki, I don’t care if its a super old card and that it might not be as good anymore, I really want her November/Cooking UR ;3;
And Mari…I already have her Valentines UR, which I love :’D But I’d also like her Angel UR ;3;
16. You’s Valentines SSR *3* People joked when it first came out that it looks like Maki’s Cooking UR, but tbh, i both don’t care, but I’m also amused considering I love that card as well :’D
Also just every You card in general :)
I’d say every Mari card, but I’m ridiculously Mari blessed so I’m honestly expecting to get them lol
17. Maki’s Cafe Maid SR ;3; That was the first card I’d idolised myself, and she looks so gorgeous. This one card is part of the reason why the Cafe Maid set is my favourite.
Also, Mari’s Halloween SR~
And I’m gonna leave it at those two cos they stand out most, cos otherwise I’d be here forever talking about every card I love :’D Also keeping it just to SRs for the same reason lol
18. I’ve tiered in every event since the YouMaru Token Event. Cos You at the time was the tier reward :’D
a few events I got kinda lazy and only hit T3, but otherwise, I’ve tiered for every one 
(Well, I got a little too lazy during New Year Nozomi’s event, so I didn’t actually get her ;3; not even her points card. Doesn’t help that it was my first score match, and I’ve hated them since)
19. =_______=
YohaRuby Token
I tried to get into T1 since I was so close, but i was also wary about spending loads of gems cos Christmas You was literally coming out as soon as the event was done and I was saving for her.
But I risked it
and didn’t make it =_=
I think it was the update to include the LP multiplier that made that event a lil more competitive
20. Either YouMaru for bein my first time tiering or YohaRuby since that’s the 1st time - and currently only - that I cleared all the points rewards :D
21. I’ve taken part in every event since I started playing SIF, so aside from the obvious answer of “Events that happened before I started” (Like the School Idol Diary events, or most of Maki’s events, she has some really pretty event cards ;3;), I’d say the event going on when I started, which was the DiaRuby Tanabata Score Match
Granted, when I started I didn’t know the game so I figured I’d take my time with it and take part in the next event, plus at the time I didn’t really know Aqours
Still feel a lil bad I didn’t try :’D
22. The recent YohaMari new years cards~ Told myself when the event came out on JP that I’d tier for it, and so I did :D
they’re both so pretty!
I also really like the DiaRiko ice skating cards, even if I didn’t properly take part in that event ;3; (I got T3 so I still got a copy of Dia)
And finally, partially just cos OTP, I’m fond of the Helper ChikaYou cards :3
And I’m gonna leave that list there for now, cos I actually like a few others, but this entire thing is already long enough 8′D
23. Probably Token events, cos they feel a little more chill?
I also quite like Challenge Festivals; the lil chibis are nice :D
24. I have no clue. I’m seen other people say SIF could do a thing like what FE Heroes does with its gauntlets, and while I do think it’d be interesting, I also see how FEH’s gauntlets turn out, and I feel like a popularity contest would just turn into a mess in SIF given how “best girl” opinions get.
Not to mention there’s a possible risk of what happens in FEH as well; that some people might not actually back their favourite and instead back whoever’s doing the best.
25. Mari for Aqours, Nico for u’s :’D
Kanan’s a close 2nd for Aqours and I thiiiink Nozomi might be 2nd for u’s??
not nearly as much of You or Maki tho ;3;
26. I don’t have an awful lot of cards from one particular set, but from what I can count, its a tie between Aqours’ swimsuit set and Valentines set; 5 each
27. Mostly Aqours cos I love them so much, plus its a little easier to scout them since they come out after events while u’s come out during events, and any gems I have are goin toward the event or bein saved
As for girls, mostly You and Mari (tho like ive said, I’m seriously Mari blessed, so I almost expect her to come home lol), and if I do scout u’s, it’d probably be for Maki
28. I have a fair few now, and they’re all from login bonuses, aside from a handful which I got from the sticker shop
I’ve gotten all the login promos for EN since Cherry Pana
And I also got Christmas Maki when she was added to the sticker shop for a limited time :D
As for non-UR promos, I have nearly all the Angelic Angel promo Rs, plus Maki’s SoreBoku R (to match a figure I have of her :D)
29. Solos :’D
Genuinely tho, my gems mostly go toward events, since I tend to stick in at them. But I can still save (I saved for Christmas You after all)
Rn, i’m trying to save. I’m telling myself it’ll either be for Angel Mari or Cyber You, but if I don’t gem scout either of them, then I’ll basically keep saving till whenever for whatever
30. Either idolise SRs (since I tend to save my pink N stickers a lot more, tho im currently trying to save my silver S stickers) or buy SR skill level teachers from the shop for my cards
31. Probably half the full combos I’ve gotten, since i’d either been struggling to FC them for ages, or I wasn’t expecting to do it lol
32. Planning to do an additional scout for Valentines Mari (I already had her at that point, but I wanted to see if I could get a 2nd copy to idolise her), but I hadn’t paid attention to when rate up would be finished on the set, so by the time I sat down to maybe get ready to scout, rate up was done. :’’’(
33. Nowhere particularly weird? Maybe in the car once, cos I thought I’d be sitting for long enough to get through a song while mum was off doing something, so when she came back i was still playing.
And then she started driving, so I was playing while the car was going :’D
missed a lot of notes I did ;3;
actually, this was during the last event, and I was playing a match
I think i came last, I cant remember lol
34. I have no idea :’D i see so many others come up with interesting ideas for SIF sets, but I have no real ideas myself. Maybe a fantasy set? Princesses and knights and wizards?
35. (ooft, gonna have to think on this one :’D and look at a whole bunch of cards)
Honoka - Circus - I actually quite like the Circus set in general; the tutu-d leotards in the unidolised, and the details in the idolised, like the hats and the frills~Eli - Rock - I skipped mentioning this one under the event cards point since that bit was gettin busy as it was, But I can cheat and mention it here~Kotori - Pajama Party - So plush~ her little braid in the idolised looks so cute~ especially peaking out of her fluffy birb hoodUmi - Seven Lucky Gods - It looks so elegant and pretty ;3;Rin - lilywhite default - So this is a promo card that came w/ lilywhite’s final single (The other members had similar cards and the other singles had similar releases), so its never coming to EN unless KLab adds it to the sticker shop :’’) But I still really like this one, just for how dainty and elegant it is. It suits Rin~Maki - Cafe Maid - I could technically use this opportunity to pick another card of Maki’s that i really love but...bruh I can’t. Cafe Maid ;3;Nozomi - Fairy - the Fairy set in general is really pretty ;3; I love the little details and flowers, and I like that Nozomi’s ear is actually kinda pointed as well~Hanayo - Cherry - Another promo, but this one just looks so shiny and sparkly, and again, just the little details in this~Nico - Dancer - Another really elegant looking one. Bonus points for having Nico’s hair down, cos I really do think she looks nice like that~
36. (Aqours might be easier, just cos less cards lol)
Chika - Initial UR - She looks so happy, and honestly the lighting in both versions looks so nice!Riko - Ice Skating - Genuinely couldn’t think of one that I really liked :’D So I’m listing the event card againKanan - Yukata - I own this card, she was my first UR :D So I do have a bit of a soft spot for it. Helps that she looks so pretty in it~Dia - Job - I’ll admit,she looks gorgeous as fuck! damn beautiful card!You - all of them Animal - okay, i legit love all of You’s cards, and I was half tempted to say her Aquarium R cos my genuine reaction to idolising her for the first time was “She’s so pretty!”. But Animal You tho... ;3; Tho if I’m honest, I genuinely do love all of her cards!!Yoshiko - Animal - She’s a shit scorer, but damn her card looks amazing, particularly the idolised. I love the pastelle colours of her dress (and the other girls in the set) and I love her dynamic pose, and her hair and how its floating in the water~Hanamaru - Angel - She looks so cute w/ her sleepy expression in the unidolised, hugging that lil star pillow. Plus Angel just as a whole is a nice set.Mari - Circus - Another case like with You where I could easily say “all of them”, but something about her Circus card. I love the post of the unidolised with her doing the rope climbing, and then pink corset of her dress in the idolised~ And that lil puppet~~Ruby - Time Traveller - I quite like this set in general; Ruby’s outfit is so cute in both versions~
37. I have no fucking clue :’D As of right now on EN, i’d like some of the features that JP has since they’re just straight up practical (song sorter, easier practising and team management), but as for anything new, I don’t know.

In the past 365 days a lot of blood sweat and tears have been shed.  We have officially been in our home for a year.  Since moving in you have come along with me on my journey to bring Blade home.  The work began in January; a warm spell allowed Zac and I to go outside and work in the yard.  Trees were prunes, the stream was raked, and we got to know our property.  This helped up lay our the ideas and plans for the busy year to come.  Zac and I spent time walking the property to get a solid plan.
  February blew in more winter.  The 2018 winter in New York was a snowy one.  We spent a lot of time snow-blowing, shoveling and roof raking.  In February I focused on projects in the house and learned to make my own hay nets.  March really was no better.  As the days became longer and warmer we began to emerge from the house and went back to exploring the backyard.  In March I set a goal to have Blade home by May and I simultaneously made plans with my trainer to bring Happy with him.  This helped motivate me to get things done.
  Morning Leaving Work and Heading to the Farm
Spring began at the end of March when the snows melted and left us with a shockingly we backyard.  We were so saturated you could hear the water trickling.  Equipment was rented and materials were purchased.  In the four weeks of April we cleared land (by hand), installed 300 feet of french drains, and set up one full paddock complete with the electric fencing setup.  I had also set up my new round-pen and corral shelter.  In these four busy weeks Zac and I got to know our neighbors much better.  They saw how hard we were working and we grew close.  We learned quickly that we have the best neighbors anyone could ever hope to have.
  This slideshow requires JavaScript.
May was the month Blade and Happy came home and we officially became a horse property.  We also adopted Bardi, our fluffy Icelandic Sheepdog who has proven to be THE MOST AMAZING DOG EVER (seriously, even non-dog people want to take him home). I continued to work hard and added the second paddock.  I also had the confidence to go try something new all on my own: mounted archery. This led to the discovery of a whole new fire within me.
  The heat of June combined with dietary changes and major life changes threw Blade for a whirlwind.  He suffered mild colic a few times which led me to suspect he was experiencing gastric issues yet again.  I spent a lot of time monitoring Blade, attending mounted archery practice, and preparing the site of our new run-in shed.
  July came and we began the big build.  My incredible friends and family teamed up to make my dreams and Zac’s carefully thought out plans a reality.  The days were long and the sun was hot.  We enjoyed the pool often.  At the end of the month two of my girlfriends made some bucket-list dreams comes true.  Borrowing a friend’s horse I went along with them to Lake Luzerne and camped.  We trail rode and even took the horses swimming.  I couldn’t stop smiling even if I wanted to.
  Facebook is a wonderful thing and in August I found an ad for some old polytape fencing.  It wasn’t in the best condition but two strands easily covered four acres.  The gentleman advertising it gave me all plus some hardware for only $25.  I put it up two weeks later; it’s not charged and runs in and around trees but the horses have a fantastic turnout pasture at the top of our hill.  This has been tremendous in keeping them out of the mud during wet weather.  I also explored another new-to-me activity, cattle sorting!
  Time got away from me in the later summer months.  Taking advantage of the weather was of the upmost importance.  I am only realizing now that I never posted about several events including our housewarming party!  We hosted nearly 60 people at our home for a wonderful barbecue.  Blade gave pony rides to my cousins and hugged my grandma.  Blade has improved so significantly that I began to desensitize him and train him for mounted archery.  Surprisingly enough he took to it quickly.  In our second session we were trotting around shooting the target on our own.  We also purchased our new ATV which has made life so much easier.  At the end of September I had to sadly say goodbye to Happy as she left my home, returning to riding at my trainer’s farm.  Before she left I made a wonderful connection with Susan Kayne, founder of Unbridled Thoroughbred Foundation.  I began fostering Zeno Bay and Vai Via a week before Happy went home allowing for Blade to become acquainted with the boys before losing his girlfriend.
  October rolled in and brought with it some cooler weather.  The boys got to know each-other and I was collecting donated blankets from some amazing supporters.  November was a great month for indoor activities.  Cornell hosted a seminar where we learned to run our own fecal floats to look for parasites.  I attended Equine Affaire again and I spent most of October and November getting to know Vai Via and Zeno Bay.  The personalities have made them both shine.  The months have been wet, however, so it’s been very inconvenient for riding and making much progress on that end.  Due to financial reasons I stopped taking lessons.  Now, at the end of December I am very much missing them especially when I want to ride and it’s either dark, too frozen, or too muddy.
  This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I don’t know what the coming year has in store for me.  I sense more big changes on the horizon.  Depending on how these changes play out the year can unfold into several different directions.  Right this moment I can say I would love to earn enough money to get back to taking lessons.  I hope to finally find a routine that works to help me lose weight and stay active with the balancing of horses and working out.  Unfortunately my mounted archery club is on shaky ground but I hope to practice at home.  I also hope to become a stronger more active voice for thoroughbreds by making a place for myself within the Unbridled Thoroughbred Foundation.
Also, something very important to me, is The Green Horseman.  I want to know how you think I can improve.  This year I posted 81 articles.  What did you like?  What didn’t you like?  Most of my articles are posted Thursday mornings.

I would like to become a more structured blogger and revamp my website to be more user friendly.

How We Got a 32% Organic Traffic Boost from 4 On-Page SEO Changes [Case Study]
Posted by WallStreetOasis.com
My name is Patrick Curtis, and I'm the founder and CEO of Wall Street Oasis, an online community focused on careers in finance founded in 2006 with over 2 million visits per month.
User-generated content and long-tail organic traffic is what has built our business and community over the last 12+ years. But what happens if you wake up one day and realize that your growth has suddenly stopped? This is what happened to us back in November 2012.
In this case study, I’ll highlight two of our main SEO problems as a large forum with over 200,000 URLs, then describe two solutions that finally helped us regain our growth trajectory — almost five years later.
Two main problems
1. Algorithm change impacts
Ever since November 2012, Google’s algo changes have seemed to hurt many online forums like ours. Even though our traffic didn’t decline, our growth dropped to the single-digit percentages. No matter what we tried, we couldn’t break through our “plateau of pain” (I call it that because it was a painful ~5 years trying).
2. Quality of user-generated content
Related to the first problem, 99% of our content is user-generated (UGC) which means the quality is mixed (to put it kindly). Like most forum-based sites, some of our members create incredible pieces of content, but a meaningful percentage of our content is also admittedly thin and/or low-quality.
How could we deal with over 200,000 pieces of content efficiently and try to optimize them without going bankrupt? How could we “clean the cruft” when there was just so much of it?
Fighting back: Two solutions (and one statistical analysis to show how it worked)
1. "Merge and Purge" project
Our goal was to consolidate weaker “children” URLs into stronger “master” URLs to utilize some of the valuable content Google was ignoring and to make the user experience better.
For example, instead of having ~20 discussions on a specific topic (each with an average of around two to three comments) across twelve years, we would consolidate many of those discussions into the strongest two or three URLs (each with around 20–30 comments), leading to a much better user experience with less need to search and jump around the site.
Changes included taking the original post and comments from a “child” URL and merging them into the “master” URL, unpublishing the child URL, removing the child from sitemap, and adding a 301 redirect to the master.
Below is an example of how it looked when we merged a child into our popular Why Investment Banking discussion. We highlighted the original child post as a Related Topic with a blue border and included the original post date to help avoid confusion:
This was a massive project that involved some complex Excel sorting, but after 18 months and about $50,000 invested (27,418 children merged into 8,515 masters to date), the user experience, site architecture, and organization is much better.
Initial analysis suggests that the percentage gain from merging weak children URLs into stronger masters has given us a boost of ~10–15% in organic search traffic.
2. The Content Optimization Team
The goal of this initiative was to take the top landing pages that already existed on Wall Street Oasis and make sure that they were both higher quality and optimized for SEO. What does that mean, exactly, and how did we execute it?
We needed a dedicated team that had some baseline industry knowledge. To that end, we formed a team of five interns from the community, due to the fact that they were familiar with the common topics.
We looked at the top ~200 URLs over the previous 90 days (by organic landing page traffic) and listed them out in a spreadsheet:
We held five main hypotheses of what we believed would boost organic traffic before we started this project:
Longer content with subtitles: Increasing the length of the content and adding relevant H2 and H3 subtitles to give the reader more detailed and useful information in an organized fashion.
Changing the H1 so that it matched more high-volume keywords using Moz’s Keyword Explorer.
Changing the URL so that it also was a better match to high-volume and relevant keywords.
Adding a relevant image or graphic to help break up large “walls of text” and enrich the content.
Adding a relevant video similar to the graphic, but also to help increase time on page and enrich the content around the topic.
We tracked all five of these changes across all 200 URLs (see image above). After a statistical analysis, we learned that four of them helped our organic search traffic and one actually hurt.
Summary of results from our statistical analysis
Increasing the length of the articles and adding relevant subtitles (H2s, H3s, and H4s) to help organize the content gives an average boost to organic traffic of 14%
Improving the title or H1 of the URLs yields a 9% increase on average
Changing the URL decreased traffic on average by 38% (this was a smaller sample size — we stopped doing this early on for obvious reasons)
Including a relevant video increases the organic traffic by 4% on average, while putting an image up increases it by 5% on average.
Overall, the boost to organic traffic — should we continue to make these four changes (and avoid changing the URL) — is 32% on average.
Key takeaway:
Over half of that gain (~18%) comes from changes that require a minimal investment of time. For teams trying to optimize on-page SEO across a large number of pages, we recommend focusing on the top landing pages first and easy wins before deciding if further investment is warranted.

Chapter 21 : His chapter
NIALL
The way we had made love kept playing over and over in my head but what I was really obsessed with was how she looked, wearing only my shirt (not even panties), sitting in the couch as she ate the meal I had prepared. She had almost choked on the rice when something funny happened in the movie we were watching and I never really noticed how endearing it was... how adorable she was. Now that we had had sex a few times, I could see a bit clearer. I was still horny for her and was ready to go whenever she wanted to, but I could also realize the little things I had missed. The way her nose raised up when I teased her about her clumsiness, the way her face lighted up when she was excited (she would even sometimes make a few small jumps), the way she bit her bottom lip when she was trying not to laugh, and even the messy state her hair was in when she'd wake up in the morning. I could make a list of all the things she did that I adored and sometimes, I spent half an hour actually listing her cute behaviors in my head.
I knew she was busy these days and I didn't want to bother her but I couldn't help but sent her a few text messages through the days. She didn't seem to bother, she even answered me quite quickly, but on friday, she replied with a message that sort of got to me.
'Did you ever have a talk with Louis about the argument you two had?'
In fact, we had not and I knew that since a few days had passed, we were both calm now and could have a discussion without risking to jump at each other's throat. It was not like me to be violent anyway but Louis knew me well and he knew exactly on which button to press to anger me. I sent him a quick text message, inviting him over and got up to check if I had enough beer left for the night. My phone beeped and I chuckled at his answer that consisted of a smiley emoji showing his teeth and the words 'On my way' written with a few exclamation points.
I quickly sent Olivia a message to tell her about it and then licked my lips before pressing them together and typing something else.
'I miss you, petal, send a selfie.'
I waited about a minute and smiled when I saw the picture of her doing a pouty face with El and Julie doing the same behind her and I realized that Louis was either stuck with the 3 girls and was glad to escape to come to my place, or he was alone by himself at his house and I was saving him from boredom. Either way, it made me laugh and I hesitated but decided to send her an other message.
'Love that selfie but when you have time, you should send me an other kind of selfie 😏'
'😂😂😂 Perv!'
I laughed and put my phone away before rummaging through my pantry to find chips and candies and brought everything to the living room along with beers before the doorbell rang. I breathed in and walked up to it, opening it slowly only to see one of my best friends waiting for me on the other side. He shook his eyebrows and the left corner of his lips curled into an amused smile.
"Hey Neil." he let out, making me smile too. "Thanks for inviting me. Livi said I should bring you this."
He moved his hand up and I noticed he was holding two bottles, one of vodka and one of jack daniels, in-between his fingers. I chuckled and moved away to let him in, following him to the living room. He put the bottles on the coffee table and turned to me before we hugged each other.
"I'm sorry Niall, I should have told you."
"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have been so pissed about it."
We pulled away and Louis raised his eyebrows before rushing to the kitchen and coming back with two glasses. He poured vodka in both and handed me one before clinking his against mine.
"To neverending friendship." he let out, making me smile. "Nothing can break this bond yea?"
I smiled and nodded, licking my lips. "Yea."
We sat together and he opened a beer. I stared at him as he dropped the cap on the coffee table and leaned against the couch before turning to look at me. I didn't know if he was waiting for me to say something but I just grabbed my beer too and took a sip.
"I know I shouldn't have had sex with your ex girlfriend, Niall. " he pointed out after a while. "I just... we became very close, and it's the only way we found not to throw ourselves at random people in bars and shit. I mean I love my son more than anything in the world, but that wasn't planned and I didn't want something like that to happen again. I mean it was a baby, and it was good news, but it could have been something bad, you know?"
It didn't make much sense to me but I kept quiet, curious to hear all he had to say about that.
"It really just happened. The first time we did it she was... so sad. I had just learned that I was going to be a dad, and we both didn't know how to cope with that."
"Who had the idea?" I asked, surprised that those words even came out of my mouth and regretting them right after. I wanted to know but at the same time, i didn't.
Louis sighed but kept looking in my eyes. "Hers, I guess." he shrugged. "But also not really. It's complicated. She proposed it, changed her mind, and I insisted. She said It was the best way to stop hurting for a few hours and honestly Niall, she was right. Every time we needed to tone down the pain in the next few months, that's how we did it. It was a bad way to handle it I mean, we went to therapy later and the more we healed, the less we fucked."
Quickly, I swallowed my beer, emptying it and putting it a bit roughly on the coffee table before grabbing the glass and pouring myself more vodka. I could feel Louis' eyes on me as I took a long sip of it and he sighed.
"I'm sorry, Niall."
"I just can't believe you choked my ex girlfriend." I pointed out in a low tone. "You called her names. You made her moan and cum. But the worst of all, Louis, is that you became so close to her that you guys can just look at each other and know exactly what the other is thinking."
I didn't say more but I knew that it also meant that in bed, he knew exactly what she liked. He knew exactly how to turn her on, how to touch her to give her pleasure, how to make her shake beneath him. He had seen her in a vulnerable state that I wished I was the only one who saw. I wanted to be the only one to read her that way, whether it was sexually or romantically.
"You're her best friend now and I'm not." I mumbled. "I'm nothing."
I swallowed the rest of my glass, feeling suddenly my whole body on fire but I didn't know if it was because of anger or because of the alcohol. Perhaps, a bit of both.
"I won't lie to you, Niall. She's my best friend. She's my other half." he shook his head. "But it's just friendship. It means a lot, but we don't have romantic love for each other. The special connection we have is all about friendship. A deep one alright, but still."
"You don't get it." I scoffed, looking down at my glass as I felt myself get slightly dizzy. "She used to have that connection with me."
I felt Louis move on the couch and he got closer, still holding his glass but he waited until I looked up in his eyes to talk.
"No, what you had was stronger than that. The connection you two had, Niall, was stronger than what me and her have. And you're the one who broke it. It'll come back, I can feel it. But you're gonna have to work for it. She was hurt, and even if I know she loves you, she's so scared."
He took a pause as I let the words he spoke sink in.
"I don't think you realize what happened after you broke up with her, Niall. She was broken. She was like a zombie, numb and lost. She lost her boyfriend and her best friend at the same time. The person she loves the most in the world. You're still that person so... fight. And don't hurt her again because I swear I'm going to kill you."
"Did she date anyone else?"
Louis sighed and finished his beer before filling our glasses again. Waiting for his answers every single time I asked a question was driving me crazy.
"Yea, some girl she met I can't remember where." he shrugged. "It was not serious because we didn't..." he stopped himself and looked up in my eyes. "We didn't stop having sex while she was with her. I mean I'm not even sure they were official, I never asked and she didn't want to talk about it."
"So she never cheated on Dylan with you." I pointed out, suddenly a bit stressed.
"No. And I never cheated on El. With anyone. You know me." he let out firmly. "She cheated on him with you though, didn't she."
"I guess. From what I understand, he knows or something. I just don't know what to do to make her choose me. I've tried telling her how I felt and I made her many promises, but she doesn't trust me, so I'm getting drunk tonight trying not to think too much of my ex girlfriend riding you and moaning your name, or about her getting married to an other famous prick."
"Who's the prick? You or me?"
I smiled and chuckled low. "Both."
I thought he'd throw something at me but he just laughed and shook his head.
"Liv has her secrets but I feel like you have yours, too." Louis let out as we drank our third glass. "You two are gonna have to talk to each other before anything can be official between you."
I groaned. "Talking is all we do. I told her so many things I thought I'd never have the guts, or the chance to tell her. I don't know if she can handle finding out about who I was when she was not around."
"She can." he argued. "Besides, it must not have been that bad since nothing appeared online."
I chuckled. "I'm normally quite good at being private, so don't be so sure."
"I'm sure it's nothing that can't be forgiven. I mean she slept with your best mate and you forgave her, so." he laughed, making me groan again and grimace.
I heard my phone beep again and grabbed it only to smile when I saw her name on the screen. I didn't know why everything that was linked to her made me happy but I knew I was a bit tipsy anyway. I quickly lost my smile when I saw the picture she sent me and my jaw dropped.
'For your eyes only 😉' was written right under a picture of her.
"Jesus Christ."
My eyes roamed on her body and I felt my heartbeats accelerate. She was naked in front of the mirror and her free hand was hiding her pussy. I wanted her so bad that I had to reach for my cock to adjust myself, almost forgetting that Louis was there with me. I thought about touching her and groaned low until Louis hit my knee with his.
"You're fucking drooling, what is it?"
With difficulty, I took my eyes off of my phone and looked up at my friend who had an amused smile on the lips. I turned the screen off and cleared my throat, grabbing my glass and swallowing what was left in it as Louis started laughing.
"It's Olivia isn't it?" he asked, his smile growing. "What did she say? No wait, did she send you a picture? She's supposed to be with my girlfriend right now!"
"Well trust me, your girlfriend is not on the picture. She was not even in the same room."
"No fucking way, she sent you a nude!"
I opened my lips to answer something cheeky but was cut by the sound of my phone again, feeling my heart jump in my chest at the thought of her messaging me but I frowned when I saw who it was coming from and made a small grimace. I should have blocked Heidi's number but I normally don't do that because I'm not a bitter person. Still, if she was to message me too much, I'd definitely have to do something. I clicked on it and it's the message I saw first.
'Told you. Call me.'
I frowned more and scrolled down to see the picture. It was Olivia wearing a wedding dress. I had no idea where the picture came from and I knew that I should try to find details on the picture that would give me clues but all I could focus on was her. Something jumped in my chest but unlike what Heidi probably thought, it was not sadness that I felt when I looked at that picture. I was pretty sure Heidi had sent that to me just to hurt me or start something between Olivia and I but I didn't care. All I cared about was all the thoughts running through in my mind. She looked incredible. She looked so beautiful I felt like I was witnessing something I was not supposed to, as if I was the future husband and that I was not allowed to see her in her wedding dress before she walked down the altar. I felt myself tear up and brought my hand to cover my mouth, swallowing hard and blinking a few times.
I knew Olivia was not sure she was going to get married to Dylan yet and for now, it was enough for me. I also knew she had to go through with the wedding plan and even if it hurt, it was still legit. I could wait a few weeks, right? After all, she waited years for me and never gave up.
"Olivia was shopping for her wedding dress today?" I just asked, my eyes glued to the picture.
"Yea, she was going with Julie and El." Louis confirmed as I shook my head. "Are you mad?"
"Mad?" I asked, raising my eyebrows and looking up at him. "No, I'm just.. she looks amazing."
I turned my phone and Louis moved closer to check the picture before moving back and leaning against the couch again. I turned the screen to me again and sighed, closing my eyes and rubbing them roughly.
"So which picture do you prefer?" Louis asked with a smirk, making me roll my eyes.
"You want to know if my lust for her is stronger than my love for her?" I just asked. "The answer is no. I just feel a bit guilty for even seeing the one with the wedding dress."
"Who sent it to you?"
"Heidi." I replied with a grimace, making Louis roll his eyes.
"Never liked this girl. No idea what you saw in her. But she did that to hurt you, clearly."
"Well it doesn't, it just makes me want to..." I shook my head, searching for my words. "It makes me want to marry her."
With a chuckle, Louis moved closer to me again, his eyebrows raised in surprise and a small smile playing across his lips.
"Excuse me you said what?"
"I want to marry her. You know, have kids, live together, plan an actual future..."
"Who are you and what did you do with me mate?"
"Shut up!" I groaned before chuckling, throwing the untouched bag of chips at him.
He just caught it, opened it and took a handful of chips that he brought to his mouth.
"Yuh shoo tah uh." he muttered as I rolled my eyes, waiting for him to swallow. "You really should tell her." he repeated.
"I don't know how to tell her I love her anymore. I don't know how to prove to her that she's the only one I need and that I'll never break her heart again. That I will never leave, no matter what happens."
I knew I was getting drunk by the minute but I still grabbed my glass and poured more alcohol in it without checking from which bottle it was from. I drank it as I shook my leg, racking my brain to find a way to show her that I meant it. I jumped off the couch and felt suddenly dizzy and held myself on the couch, making Louis laugh.
"Mate, sit back down, you're drunk."
"Nooo no, I know how to make her realize how much she means to me!"
Louis frowned but I ignored him, rushing to my room and searching through a box of my old stuff. It took me about ten minutes but I finally found an old letter Olivia had written me when we were teens and brought it back, giving it to Louis with a big smile. I stood next to him with a large smile as he read it and finally, he looked up at me and chuckled.
"Okay she wrote you letters like that and you didn't know she was in love with you?" he just said with an other chuckle. "Mate, you need someone to hit you behind the head. I can do it if you want me to."
"No, Tommo. You don't get it." I grabbed the paper from his hands and turned it around, pointing at the bottom. "There's her name. In her own handwriting."
Louis frowned, then realized and finally, his eyes got bigger and he got up, grabbing both my shoulders and raising his eyebrows before shaking me slightly.
"Niall, you never ever wanted a tattoo in your life!" he pointed out. "Besides, you're drunk, no one will agree to tattoo you!"
"Oh but you know tattoo artists that will anyway yea? I'm counting on you!"
He stared at me for a few minutes and I brought my hands together in a way to beg him. He ended up rolling his eyes with a smile, making mine grow even more.
"Fine! But if you regret it tomorrow, don't you fucking blame me!"
I barely remembered anything, from the way the needles felt to the final result but when Louis drove us back home, he kept glancing at me. The window was down and the cool wind of the night helped me sober up. I still didn't regret it but I knew it was a possibility when I'd wake up. I'd deal with it in the morning though, I was getting a bit too tired to think about it.
"Did it hurt?"
"Not really. Perhaps I was too drunk to feel it." I replied with a shrug, leaning my head on the seat. "You think she'll realize how much I love her with that tattoo?"
"First off, you're gonna have to show her. It's super small, and it's in a spot no one can see unless you're naked I mean, why did you want it there?" Louis frowned before shaking his head. "Anyway, not the point. She already knows you love her. So do I think this tattoo will suddenly bring her trust in you back? No. But it'll definitely entertain her."
I groaned again. "Shut up."
"Hey, I'm just so happy I got to witness that once in my life. Pretty sure it's the only tattoo you'll ever get. It's an honor for me, thank you, Neil."
"I hate you."
He was right, I had chosen a spot no one could see, at the top of my thigh, near my stomach. I've never been a fan of tattoos and I couldn't find a place to put it that wouldn't be obvious and the only other places that people never see would have given her a very wrong impression of my intentions. I could feel it burn on my skin and unlike what I thought, It didn't make me feel weird. Louis was right, it was a very small tattoo, not worth writing home about, but everyone who knew me was aware that it did mean something.
Louis parked and we walked inside in silence but he stopped near the door and patted my shoulder gently.
"I think I'm gonna leave." he just said in a low tone. "Do you need help to clean or anything?"
I shook my head and grabbed my phone, checking her picture again and surprisingly, it was the wedding dress one. I pressed my lips together and Louis moved closer, his hand squeezing my shoulder this time.
"Do you want me to call her for you?" he asked in a gentle tone. "Maybe she'd want to spend the night here? I'll even give her a ride if she wants."
I looked at my friend and felt a wave of affection for him. Knowing he was there for me and that he cared made me feel better. When I broke up with Olivia, Louis had disappeared and he hadn't been much present until I ran into her again. Now, it felt like he was back in my life for real and I liked it.
"I don't know..."
I was not sure. I wanted her with me, and the craving was intense, but I didn't want her to feel like she had to take care of me again. Still, the thought of holding her in my arms was so hard it made a shiver cross my back.
"I started writing songs for a new album." I let out randomly. "All the fucking songs are about her."
Louis looked at me for a few seconds and sighed. "Tell her, Niall. Do it." He grabbed his phone and clicked on something before bringing the phone to his ear.
"Hey love, I'm with Niall right now and he really wants to see you." Louis looked up at me as I rolled my eyes and he smirked. "Why didn't he call you himself?" He took the phone away from his mouth and whispered to me. "She says you never replied to her last text message."
I closed my eyes, remembering the nude she sent me and let out a low curse word, feeling suddenly like an ass and hoping she didn't think I didn't enjoy looking at her naked.
"No darling," Louis continued. "He was too shy to call you. And he didn't answer your text because he was too busy jerking off to it."
I felt my heart jump in my chest and hit his arm a bit roughly but it only made him smile more. I closed my eyes and grunted low, hearing Louis say a bunch of 'Mmhm''s before saying goodbye and hanging up.
"She'll be there in half an hour." he sent me a satisfied smile. "I mean she said 15 minutes but, you know her."
I remained motionless for a few seconds, just looking at my friend, and finally, I brought him into a hug that he quickly answered. I moved my chin down, trying not to cry, and just closed my eyes.
"I know you love her, mate. And I think you two are soulmates." he admitted in a low tone. "Fight for it. Get her back. And then, never let her go."

Chapter 34 : Her chapter
OLIVIA
March 30th, 2018
I had no idea who Niall had invited but before we walked in the bar, I moved closer to him and got up on my tiptoe to look in his eyes, both of us now hidden by his cap. His lips curled as his eyes roamed on my face and I pressed my lips together. I was a bit stressed to meet some people from school after so long but if I wanted to be honest, being away from the crowds and the paps seemed like amazing time off to me and I was pretty sure Niall felt the same.
"No kissing, no hold hands, no cuddles." I pointed out with a grimace. "It's gonna be a long evening."
"Okay, first off, you can cuddle me, they're used to it. Second of, can I remind you that it's your rule? If you want, we can definitely tell them we're together but keeping low profile." he pointed out, raising his eyebrows as he waited for my answer.
I wanted to. I really fucking wanted to, and I could feel my heartbeats accelerate the longer we looked at each other. I licked my lips and smiled before shaking my head. I couldn't make a decision and it was driving me insane.
"We'll just... see how it goes." I finally let out before sighing and getting back down on my feet.
"I'll follow your lead, petal."
His words made my lips curl and I nodded slowly before he turned around and walked in. It felt amazing to know I had my say in all of this. A lot of times, when we were dating and even before, I felt like Niall lead me the way he thought was right and I just followed without a word. Perhaps, he had matured, or maybe he was always like that but he just took the lead because I didn't. Either way, it was refreshing and it made me feel important.
I followed him inside and a familiar face seemed to illuminate in the back of the bar. The smell reminded me of my teenage years and somehow, I suddenly relaxed despite the people I had just noticed.
"Zara?" I let out with a frown before Niall bent closer to me.
"I called her, thought you may want to see her." he whispered before walking closer to the table.
"Olivia!"
Zara jumped out of her chair and ran to me, wrapping her arms around my neck so tight I could barely breathe anymore. She started jumping quickly up and down, bringing me in her wave and I laughed as I hugged her back. Despite everything that had happened to me in my childhood and teenage years,  Zara was the only one I trusted completely besides Niall. I had a few friends and we all hung out together but Zara was the one I was the closest to, the one I told almost everything to, except maybe the fact that I had always been in love with Niall. That, I hadn't told anyone and even now, I wondered how the hell I succeeded to keep that secret to myself for two decades.
"I haven't seen you in so long!" she added, hugging me even tighter before her embrace loosened and she pulled away to look in my eyes. "Still can't believe you followed that eejit to London. Why?"
She was very expressive and the facial expression she was sending me made me laugh.
"You know me, can't be away from his dumb face for too long."
Her lips curled into an amused smile and she pulled me to the bar, ordering beers before tilting her head and staring at me some more. I frowned and waited, knowing that a question was coming.
"You two dated a few years ago yea?" she raised her eyebrows as I nodded. "Okay now let's talk about the real shit. How does he fuck?"
My eyes got bigger and I chuckled, shaking my head. "Z!"
"No no, hear me out!" she continued, bending down closer to me. "Remember when Michelle, Lisa, Megan and I would get mad at you for ditching us for him?" she let out with a chin movement towards Niall.
I couldn't help but glance at him. He was sitting with a few people I recognized but I just licked my lips and turned back to my friend, shaking my head. "I didn't dit-"
"Oh you did. All the time." she cut me, making me raise my nose up in a grimace. "Well we always spent at least half an hour talking about you two and with the years, the conversations became... you know. I mean he grew up and," she paused and leaned back to take a look at him before looking back at me. "He's... he's hot."
I started laughing, shaking my head slightly at her enthusiasm.
"Niall was always hot." I pointed out, making her roll her eyes.
"You... it's different. I mean, I know you always said you didn't have feelings for him but girl, I know you better than that." she explained, making my heart literally stop beating. "Anyway, that's beside the point. So we did talk about the size of his cock and the way he fucked and we all had theories. I think it's time you reveal the truth."
"Forget it." I laughed, shaking my head.
"Why does it matter, you two broke up a million years ago!" her face suddenly changed and her lips parted as she moved closer. "You whore, you’re still dating him?"
"Zara!"
She raised both of her hands up and closed her eyes. "Alright alright, none of my business." she chuckled, opening her eyes again, her smile turning into a fond one. "I really hope for you, though. I know how much you love him. I can see it in your eyes."
I held my breath as she grabbed two beers, letting me take the two others and we walked slowly to the table.
"Don't be surprised okay? Ava is here. I know she's not your fave person but just pretend she's funny. Or interesting. Or ignore her, that's what I do."
I laughed again but my heart dropped in my chest when I noticed Ava, leaning against Niall as they were both laughing. I started thinking about that time I caught him masturbating in his room when he was 13, and how a few years later, he had admitted he was jerking off thinking about her. The whole thing made me swallow hard and I held the mugs tighter in my hands before placing them on the table. Most people looked up and when I noticed Rian, my eyes got bigger and I chuckled low.
"Wow, hey! What are you doing here?"
He got up and kissed my cheeks gently as I did the same before shaking my head. The last time I had seen Rian was when Niall and I went ice skating together when we were dating. Niall had shown a bit of jealousy back then and even if I knew I shouldn't, i really liked it. Of course, I had dated Rian for a few months and he was the first guy I ever slept with, but Niall seemed to forget that the reason I gave in to Rian after so many years was because he had lost his virginity to someone who wasn't me. It had hurt me so much that just thinking about it made it impossible not to swallow the lump in my throat.
"He's coming to visit me." Ava said, her hand on Niall's thigh to hold herself as she moved closer to me. "We have a thing going on."
Rian rolled his eyes with a smile and shook his head slightly before shrugging. "Just trying to see if it could work." he explained before talking lower. "I'm not moving back here though, there's no way."
I let out a louder laugh and nodded. "Yea, I'm not moving back here either."
The truth was, I didn't want to move back here mostly because I didn't really know anyone anymore. My parents were back in France, many of my friends had moved away and Niall... well, Niall was the person I wanted to follow. Or more, Niall was the person I wanted to be with. I didn't have to follow him, like he said. We could just take decisions together.
"Come on, petal, sit down."
Niall's voice reached my ear and I smiled, sitting next to him as he squirmed a bit on his chair to move forward, leaning his arms on the table and getting away from Ava's touch. I felt suddenly relieved and he sent me a smile. I felt his knee hit gently against mine under the table and my lips curled more.
"So what's up between you two?" Rian asked after sitting next to me. "Last time I saw you, you were together, then we all read in extremely reliable online articles that you two split and Niall was dating that actress or singer? What's her face? And Liv was getting married to an hollywood actor. This is some crazy shit, mates."
"I'm... not dating Heidi anymore." Niall pointed out, pressing his lips together in an awkward smile.
"And I called the wedding off and broke up with Dylan."
Everyone stared at us and Zara chuckled slightly after half a minute, shaking her head. "Wow. You guys need more drinks."
We started drinking and talking and after a few hours, I was starting to be tipsy. I walked to the bar to get more pints and while waiting, I leaned on the counter to stare at Niall. He was laughing with our old friends and I was suddenly thrown back to when we were younger and would hang out all together. I could pretend life was easy back then but it would be a lie. I had to admit, though, that everything changed when Niall left, and I do mean everything.
My lips curled on the left when I watched him throw his head back. I could hear his laughter even from where I was and something jumped inside me at the sight. I already knew, but once again, it hit me how much I loved him and how i'd never be over him. I didn't want to be over him anyway. I wanted to be with him.
"Having a good time?"
I raised my eyebrows in surprise before turning to the voice with a smile before looking at Niall again and finally putting my attention back on Rian.
"Mmhm, and you?"
I was getting so tipsy that I had a hard time hiding my attraction for Niall. I knew my eyes were probably betraying me but I was at that point where I didn't give a fuck anymore. A few more people we knew had joined us and we were all getting a bit drunk but when I turned around and smiled to Rian again, I noticed he was way past that stage. He sent me a small smirk and bent down closer, making me move back instinctively.
"You know you were my first fuck." he pointed out, making me chuckle low.
"Yea you were my first fuck too."
"You ever wonder what it would feel like more than a decade later?" he whispered after bending down more.
My lips parted and I glanced at him, standing up and shaking my head. "Honestly, no."
"Come on." he slurred as I pressed my lips together. "Just one time. I never really understood why you broke up with me, y'know?"
I looked up at him, feeling uneasy, and swallowed hard. I didn't want to cause a scene and I knew he was drunk but at the same time, I had no fucking idea what he was thinking at that exact moment. I knew he thought I was single, which I was... sort of, but I had the feeling he would insist even if I was officially taken.
"I just didn't have those feelings for you, that's why." I pointed out.
It was true and at the same time, it was also because I couldn't take Niall out of my mind. I felt his arm slither around my waist and pushed him away gently but firmly, raising my eyebrows at him.
"Two things. One, you're drunk and two, I'm not interested. It's been years, Rian, we both moved on." I pointed out. "Besides, aren't you with Ava now?"
"Ava and I have an agreement. Until we're official, we can fuck whoever we want. That's why she's all over your ex boyfriend."
My lips parted again and my heartbeats accelerated. I turned to look at Niall but for some reason, he had switched seat with me, leaving a free chair between him and Ava and I sighed of relief without thinking.
"That's why you said no to me for so long before agreeing to date me, right? That's also why you broke up with me isn't it?"
I turned back to him, noticing he had moved closer again. "What?"
"Him. Him and his fucking stupid angel face. You've always wanted him and he never fucking wanted you. The only time he dated you he fucking left you to be a famous little shit and now you're still looking at him like he's some sort of god."
"Shut up, you're pissed." I said low enough, getting suddenly angry.
"Still. You know i'm right." he added, sending me a small smile. "Come on, I'll make you cum so hard."
I felt Rian's hand on my breasts and this time, I pushed him harder as my heart seemed to stop.
"I said no!"
I felt my whole body on fire as I stared at him but he moved closer and grabbed the back of my head, pulling me against him to kiss me. This time, I started hitting his chest hard to push him away and I heard a chair scratch against the wood floor before falling down. It took about half a second for Niall to be between Rian and I, pushing him hard enough to make him back away a few feet.
"She said no."
"Oh yea, mister perfect is there again to save the day!" Rian let out a bit too loud in a sarcastic tone. "Same as you were back then. Always there to be the perfect 'best friend'." he laughed, doing quotation marks with his fingers on the last two words.
"Rian, don't go too far." Niall only replied, shaking his head slightly.
"She's not yours, anymore, Horan! So let it go!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
I took a step back, surprised by how well Niall could keep calm and glanced at our table to see all of our friends watching the show. It was not really how I imagined my night.
"You're a fuckin' asshole and I've always hated you, ya know that?"
"I'm very aware." Niall sighed. "But she said she was not interested, so keep your feckin' hands in your pockets."
"Or what?" Rian yelled, this time. "Or WHAT?"
"Rian, stop!"
We all turned to Ava who was frowning and Rian scoffed, shaking his head. "You stay out of this." he turned to Niall. "And you!" he grabbed him by his shirt and my heart sank in my chest as I moved closer, grabbing Rian's arm and trying to push him back.
"Please, stop!" I let out, suddenly panicked.
Niall didn't send me a glance and kept looking at Rian, "Liv, move back. Please Liv."
It took me a few seconds and I did as he asked just when Rian started talking again.
"She's not your girlfriend." he repeated. "So mind your own fuckin' business!"
"But I still love her." Niall admitted louder, making my lips part and my whole body throb. "I'm still in love with her. And I'm not gonna let you touch her, not without her consent."
Everything happened a bit too fast for me to react and I barely saw Rian let go of Niall to throw his fist at him. Gladly, he was totally hammered and Niall easily dodged his hit before throwing his own first on Rian's jaw. My eyes got bigger as Rian fell on the floor and I finally closed them, bringing both my hands on my face.
"MATES!"
I remained motionless, eyes closed and silent, until I felt someone pull me out and I only opened my eyes again when I felt the fresh air hit the skin of my face. It was a bit cold and I shivered, bringing my arms around myself before I felt someone wrap theirs around me from behind.
"Hey, you okay?" I didn't have to hear his voice, I immediately recognized Niall from the way he was touching me, and the way he smelled. God he smelled amazing. "I'm sorry about all this."
I shook my head and sighed. "Let's leave, okay?"
I noticed Ava and two other guys try to put Rian on the backseat of a car and Zara quickly ran to me, raising her nose up and placing her hand on my arm.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly, tilting her head, before I nodded. "I'll message you, okay? And if you invite me to Cali, I'd love to visit!"
I chuckled and nodded. "We can definitely plan that."
She glanced up at Niall and tried to stop a smirk from gracing her face without much success.
"Have fun you two." she just chuckled. "I'm rooting for you."
I laughed and closed my eyes again, a bit embarrassed but quickly, Niall moved away and reached for my fingers. I let him take my hand in his and we walked in silence. I knew where he was taking me but I didn't mention it and when we sat in the grass, I moved my legs over his thighs and felt his hand on mine, warming me. It was cold and I knew we wouldn't last too long outside but I enjoyed being close to him in silence. It took at least 20 minutes for Niall to talk again and hearing his voice made something stir in my stomach.
"I'm sorry." he said in a low tone, looking down at his hand on my thigh as he gently brushed his fingertips on my pants. "I don't know why I did that. But he had his hand on your breasts and I suddenly wanted to kill him."
I stared at him for a few seconds without talking and waiting for him to look up but he didn't. I pressed my lips together and placed my hand over his, grabbing his fingers and squeezing them.
"Thank you for defending me." I just replied, making him nod slightly. "You were so laid-back, I didn't expect you to throw your fist at him. You don't need to apologize."
He looked up at me and sent me a fond smile as I bit my bottom lip. Slowly, I moved closer and kissed him gently. I could feel my head spinning from all the alcohol in my body and when he deepened the kiss, I felt my eyes flutter behind my eyelids.
"I'm sorry." I whispered against his mouth. "I should have told our friends we were together. It would have spared a few problems."
"Not your fault. It's entirely his fault. He shouldn't have touched you after you said no, whether you were taken or not. He's an asshole and he deserved a good punch. I'm just happy I'm the one who gave him." he confessed, making me chuckle. "I can't believe he did that."
"Well he was seeing the way I was looking at you apparently. And he probably saw how Ava was all over you, too. Must have been hard for him to be rejected twice in the same night. I've rejected him a lot, too."
"Still not an excuse." Niall whispered, kissing my lips very gently.
"I know."
"Don't defend him, he's an arsehole."
"I know."
We remained silent again as we kissed some more. I felt his hand move up on me and slip between my thighs, the side of one of his fingers pressing on my pussy. I whimpered very low and chuckled.
"It's way too cold to fuck here."
"I know." he groaned. "I just can't believe we have to sleep at my mom's. Every single time we come visit you don't want to let me fuck you."
The way he pouted and his childish tone made a laugh boom out of me and I finally leaned my forehead against his and brought my hand to his cheek.
"I'll let you tomorrow morning, but only if you agree to do something tonight that I've always wanted to do."
He frowned and pulled away to stare at me suspiciously. "I want to ask if I'll regret it but if you let me cum inside you tomorrow then I'm ready for anything."
I laughed again and kissed him with a smile. It felt so great to be wanted even if most of the time, It also felt surreal. We walked back to his mom's and it was extremely late when he tried to find the right keys to walk inside before realizing the door was not locked. We both laughed as we walked inside, and it made me realize we were both still quite tipsy. We walked slowly, trying to remain silent without much success and when he bumped into the table, we both laughed. He pulled me closer and started kissing me hard, sticking his tongue on my mouth only to turn me on, I suspected. His normal taste was altered with the taste of beer but I loved it and I moaned low in his mouth. I couldn't remember how we ended up on the roof but I stared up at the sky, tilting my head with a smile.
"That's really all you wanted?" he asked after a while. "Watch the stars like we used to do on the roof of your house?"
I kept looking up at the indigo sky and pressed my lips together before licking them.
"We used to do that all the time, just you and I, and I remember wishing you would kiss me every single time. That's why we're here. I want to kiss you while we watch the stars together."
Niall chuckled low. "You're so cheesy. I blame you for my romantic side."
I turned to send him a big smile. "You're welcome."
His lips curled into a fond and loving grin and I bit my bottom lip.
"I will kiss you anywhere you want. Any time you want. For any reason you can think of, or for no reason at all except that I love you."
I felt my heart melt in my chest and breathed in, trying to keep my tears in. He was leaning on his side to look at me, holding himself with one of his elbows and arms, and suddenly, I could see the adorable 14 year old he used to be, with his blonde hair and his crooked teeth. I felt my heart swell and my eyes watered, letting a tear fall on one of my cheeks as I sniffed. Was I really going to push away this man out of fear? Was that a good way to live life anyway? To stop myself from being happy in fear of being hurt again? It was ridiculous.
"We will be together, Niall."
He frowned slightly and moved his upper body closer. "What?"
"If you still want of me..." I repeated before breathing in deeply. "if you still want to be with me.. really be with me. Officially. It will happen."
"I'll always want that Olivia." he simply replied but I could hear surprise and happiness in his voice and when I looked up at him, his eyes seemed to sparkle. They shined even more than they did at the bar when he was drunk and it made my heart jump in my chest. Perhaps, it was only the reflection of the lights of the streets, or maybe I was hallucinating it... but I didn't think so. He seemed genuinely excited by my words.
"I just need more time. But it will happen." I explained more. "I'll never be able to live without you anyway. And I don't want to. I don't want to live without you, Niall."
His lips curled into the biggest smile and he chuckled, moving closer and sliding his hand behind my head. I could feel his fingers sink in my hair as he pulled me closer.
"Best news of the day. It beats everything else." he let out low. "Now, I'm going to kiss you beneath the stars until you're too tired to keep your eyes open."

Chapter 25 : His chapter
NIALL
She didn't answer anything. I waited for hours and she didn't dare even answer anything about the video I sent her. I wish she would have at least acknowledged it. I would have been fine with a heart emoji even if I would have preferred a comment about how much she loved and missed me. But she sent nothing and it was worse than anything she could have answered.
I kept thinking about her and Dylan and it was driving me insane. In fact, I couldn't stop thinking about her on top of him, riding him and moaning his name. It was obsessing me to the point where I just wanted to take a plane to her and bring her back home with me.
I tried calling her in the afternoon but she didn't answer and although I was trying to convince myself that she was probably sleeping, I knew that it was not late enough for her to be asleep, even with the jetlag.
I waited almost 24 hours to hear from her and when my phone rang, I realized someone was trying to facetime me. I saw her face on the screen and my heart jumped so high in my chest I thought I was about to vomit it. I almost dropped my phone on my face and stopped moving before breathing in and out for a few seconds. I finally answered and my lips curled when I saw her face. Her hair was a mess, she had dark circles under her eyes and she looked exhausted.
"Hey darling, what time is it in Italy?"
She raised her nose up and groaned low. "Fuck, did I wake you up? I'm so sorry." she apologized with a grimace. "It's four in the morning here."
"No, it's okay, it's 7 pm here." I tried to reassure her and chuckled. "Actually, I didn't sleep much last night."
She frowned and tilted her head but I hesitated to tell her how I felt. I let my eyes roam on her face for a few seconds and finally sighed. I had been worried about her and clearly, I had the right to. Of course, there was more than that. I had also been scared of what she was doing, and perhaps a bit jealous, but I didn't have to mention that.
"You're already in bed?" she asked with a small smile.
"Yea, I tried to read a bit, and watch tv, but I ended up just writing a few song lyrics." I explained with a shrug.
"Are you alright?"
"Liv, you haven't given me any news since you left. I messaged you, and I tried calling, but you didn't answer." I pointed out a bit louder. "Look, I was worried, okay."
Her traits softened and she looked at me with a guilty expression.
"I'm so sorry, Niall, you're right. I've been super busy. The auditions ended late, and we have more tomorrow and an interview. After the auditions we had a meeting that lasted like 3 hours. I'm super tired. You're right though, I should have taken a few minutes to call or at least message you. Please, forgive me."
I licked my lips and sighed low. "You're okay, that's all that matters. Did you get my video?"
This time, her face completely changed and the smile she sent me was so loving, fond and soft that I couldn't help but smile too. She pressed her lips together and all I could think about was kissing her.
"I did. I had just landed and I was at the airport still." she admitted in a low voice. "I was crying and a guard came to check on me."
She let out a short embarrassed chuckle and I smiled more, raising my eyebrows. "You cried?"
Her face became more serious but her gaze was still soft. "Yes. I love you, Niall. I love you so much. I almost took a plane back to you after seeing that. I just..." she shook her head and glanced away before looking back at me. "I wish  I could have stayed with you. I wish I could be with you right now."
"Me too." I replied with a smile as she leaned against the headboard of the bed, making me frown. "Hey, where are you right now?"
She looked around herself for a few seconds and looked back in my eyes again.
"Hotel room." she shrugged, making me frown more.
"I thought you'd be at your boyfriend's apartment." I admitted blatantly, making her face change suddenly. "Is everything okay?"
"I'm good, don't worry. He's still filming and this hotel is closer to where I have to be tomorrow." she grimaced but I could feel something was wrong. "I have to be up in six hours. I'm even lucky they let me wake up so late."
I pushed away all the thoughts and questions in my head to focus on her and the time we had together instead. Of course, I was curious, but at the same time, I was not sure I wanted to know. Her marriage and her boyfriend were touchy subjects, for me but also for her, I could feel it every time one of us would mention something, and I was not in the mood to talk about that. If she wanted to discuss anything with me, though, I knew she would.
"I don't really want to hang up." I admitted with a small smile. "When are you coming back home?"
"I tried to get a flight for tomorrow night, but I got one in the middle of the night." she explained, surprising me but making her smile grow. "I just can't wait."
I remained silent for a few seconds, wondering why she was coming back so fast instead to spend time with Dylan, but I decided not to ask. It was stupid, but I didn't want to give her the idea to stay longer, and I also didn't want her to think I didn't care that she'd spend time with him. If I wanted to be honest, I also really wanted her to come back so I just smiled more.
"I think you should drop by my place, first."
She laughed this time, closing her eyes and leaning her head on the headboard as her nose raised up. It made me chuckle to see her laugh so honestly and when her eyes fluttered open, she was smirking.
"And why exactly?"
"I don't know." I shrugged. "You could get naked and join me in bed. What time are you supposed to land?"
"Five in the morning." she explained with a sigh.
"Do you want me to pick you up?" I proposed, moving on my bed to lean on my pillows better.
"Naa, you don't want an other article about us, do you?" she pointed out, raising her nose up again. "I'll take a cab and give your address."
I wanted to tell her that articles about us didn't bother me and somehow, at that exact moment, it wouldn't have been a lie, but in general, yea, I hated paps and how they'd always write bullshit just to sell and get clicks.
"And then?"
"And then get naked and join you in bed." she replied with a smirk, using my own words. "You know, just thinking about it makes me horny." she added in a low tone. "And you being almost naked right now doesn't help."
I boomed out with laughter and a smirk appeared on my lips. It felt so natural to have that kind of discussion with her even if we had been separated for so long. I watched as her eyes dropped to my chest and shook my head.
"You're literally eyeing me right now, and you're not even trying to hide it." I pointed out, trying to keep my laughter in. "And you're wearing too much clothes for me to do the same."
"Mm, well, it's not my fault you're not wearing a shirt." she pointed out, not even looking in my eyes. "If you could just... move your phone a bit."
"Such a horny girl."
It made me think of that time when we were dating and I was gone in Asia with my cousins. It was the first and only time we had facetime sex and just thinking about it made my heart jump in my chest. I wanted to do it again, tell her what to do and when to do it, watch her touch herself and cum while she moaned my name.. but I knew she was tired and I didn't want to insist too much.
"Do you remember when-"
"Oh yea, oh yea I remember." she cut me, making me raise my eyebrows. "When you ran out of that bar and got back to that tiny disgusting and dark room just so we could masturbate together on the phone. I fucking remember, Niall. You made me start touching myself in the car."
"If I was there right now, I'd touch you and do all the job. You'd have nothing to do. I'd just make you cum and then you could fall asleep."
"Mm, I wish you would be here right now, then." she admitted with a yawn, squirming to lay down in bed as I chuckled and rolled my eyes. "Especially that you promised me your tongue and lips between my legs. Do you know how many times I thought about it? Mm, no one tongue fucks me like you."
I laughed again. "Oh god, you've got such a filthy mouth."
"Me? More like you." she laughed too, closing her eyes. "You're gonna eat me out good next time we see each other, yea?"
"I fucking promise." I guaranteed, bringing my hand to my cock and brushing it over my boxers. "I'll make you scream."
I watched her almost fall asleep and smiled a bit but after a few seconds, I felt the words escape my lips.
"Before we hang up, petal, can you show me your tits?"
Her eyes fluttered open and she let out a short but silent laugh. "You just can't help yourself, can you?" she shook her head. "I sent you a picture of my boobs already, don't you have it anymore?"
"Of course I do! It's my phone's background!" I joked, watching her face change into terror and making me laugh. "Babe relax, I'm joking! It's just even better when it's live."
"I'm ready to give you five seconds of seeing my boobs but in exchange, I want you to stay on the phone with me until I fall asleep."
My traits softened and I sent her a small smile. I would have agreed with that against nothing at all, just because I loved the fact that she felt safe with me, and because I missed her.
"Mm, okay, five seconds of seeing them, and five more while you touch them."
She chuckled and shook her head before putting her phone away. All I could see was the ceiling for a few seconds but when she put her phone back, she had taken her shirt off and was now laying under the sheets. My eyes quickly found her breasts and my lips curled slightly.
"Is it cold there?" I asked, amused.
"It is, you little fucker."
I laughed again and she finally moved her phone up, making me groan. "You promised me five more of touching them."
"I'm touching them."
"But I can't see!" I argued, making her laugh.
"You didn't specify that."
I groaned and grimaced before using puppy eyes while staring at her. Her eyes were half-closed and I knew she was going to fall asleep soon.  She chuckled and rolled her eyes and I was glad I didn't even have to beg her. She moved her phone farther and I saw her fingers rub gently against her nipples. I was about to ask her to grab her tits harder but she just did it and I let out a short curse word as I gripped the sheets of my bed.
"Fuck you make me so hard." I whispered right before she started giggling like a school girl.
"I remember before we dated, you said you were too old to get hard just by the sight of boobs." she told me. "I guess that's not true anymore, if it ever was."
"Darling, it's not just boobs. It's you, touching and grabbing your boobs, and making all these sexy little sounds, I bet you don't even realize it. Fuck yea, you make me hard. I want to tap my cock on them until it's hard enough to wreck you."
She rubbed her eyes with her free hand and whimpered low before grabbing the blankets of the bed and pulling them over her shoulders. She turned around and leaned the phone on a pillow while grabbing the other one and cuddling it.
"Mm, well, maybe you can do that when I get back." she proposed in a mumble. "You can even do that while I'm sleeping if it turns you on."
“I’ll remember that.” I chuckled and watched her lips part slightly and her eyes close. She looked peaceful but I knew that in less than a minute, she was going to be snoring. "Hey, petal." I whispered.
"Mm?"
"I'm in love with you." I added, seeing the left corner of her lips move up slightly. "Goodnight, darling."
                                                 ---
I woke up horribly early just to be sure I wouldn't miss her interview. She had sent me a link and I just stayed in bed, still half-sleep, thinking that I'd just get a few more hours of sleep when it would be over but when I saw her appear on the screen with a big smile, I felt suddenly completely awake.
I had stayed about fifteen minutes just looking at her the night before while she was sleeping and just like I thought, she had been snoring, her face all pressed on the pillow and even if it had made me smile, it was crazy how endeared I had been. If I was not sure she was the only girl I would ever want to spend my life with already, after that it was impossible to have any doubt left. Of course, I didn't need anything to convince me that we were meant to be, but these simple reminders of how much I loved her and everything she did were good and comforting.
She started answering questions about why she was in Italy, and how the auditions were going, and I couldn't help but think it felt weird to watch my best friend being interviewed on a tv show. It made me realize that it was probably how she felt the first few times she saw me on tv and it felt weird to have the roles reversed for once.
"Did you have time to visit? Or do you plan on doing it later?"
She smiled and it made me smile too. "I didn't really have time and I have a flight back home tonight, so I probably won't have time but it's so beautiful here, at least from what I was able to see from my hotel room windows or from the short drives around." she chuckled. "I will definitely come back to visit. With someone, perhaps."
I grabbed my phone and quickly sent her a text message.
'I'll bring you to Italy to visit. I'll bring you anywhere you want to go.'
I put my phone away and looked as she reached for her pocket and it made me hold my breath. She was not supposed to bring her phone but she had and even worse, it seemed like it was on vibe. I let out a chuckle and shook my head. She was never really the type to follow the rules anyway.
"A few weeks ago there were pictures of Niall Horan and you coming out of a movie theater together and all the rumors about you two dating again appeared online." the man whom's name I forgot asked as Olivia nodded. "Neither of you denied or attested the rumors but you two are talking again which is a big deal. You hadn't been seen together since your break up back in november 2016."
"Uhm, yea well, we both moved to California and we met randomly and... you know, when someone has been your best friend for two decades, it's hard to just.. couper les ponts you know, cut the ties?" she let out, raising her eyebrows. "Niall was part of my every day life, I even went on the last One Direction tour with him, so to cut him from my life du jour au lendemain... it was not easy. It was sudden, and it was tough. For both of us. So yea, we talk again."
"I noticed that you add a lot of french words and expressions when you talk and I know you're from France but you've lived in Ireland most of your life so you know all of this in english."
"Mm, yea but french comes to me very easily. I talk to my parents a lot, especially recently, so I guess I'm just mixing both languages." she admitted with a laugh. "I'm sorry, I know it's bit annoying."
"Endearing." I corrected her in a whisper even if she couldn't hear me.
"No no, not at all." the interviewer argued. "How many seasons did you plan for this show?"
She answered the questions like a champ but I was surprised that there had been no question about her wedding or her boyfriend. They normally like to get into things like that and I thought that maybe she had specified that she didn't want questions about that. However, I would think if that was the case, she would have also told them not to ask her about me and yet, they did, and she didn't seem pissed.
I didn't mind that they asked about me much and her answer was great. I had never stopped myself from mentioning my friends in interviews when people asked, I just didn't like talking about who I was dating or who my songs were about specifically. After all, when people ask questions about that, they just want to know who you're shagging, and my sex life, along with my romantic one, was no one's business.
The tv show lasted about ten more minutes and a few minutes after it ended, I heard my phone and grabbed it, smiling again when I realized that the first thing she did was answer my text.
'The truth is, Niall, that I'll follow you anywhere you want to go. Whether it's Italy, space, or that big ass couch of yours. Lead me. I'm right behind.'
                                                          ---
We spend the afternoon texting each other back and forth and I knew she would be in deep shit if anyone realized she was distracted. It was still an audition afternoon and evening for her and she had mentioned that she wouldn't be able to sleep before getting on the plane, which would mean she would most likely be exhausted when she'd get back. Sleeping on a plane was never nice or reviving, and I knew what I was talking about.
As I was waiting for her answer, I started checking online to see if there were comments about her interview or if there were new pictures of her that had appeared online. The first article that popped, however, was about her boyfriend, and I almost skipped it until I read the title. I scrolled back up and clicked on it only to see a picture of Dylan appear. He was with some girl I didn't know and they were dangerously close to each other. Of course, it was just a picture, and it wouldn't be the first time paps would fool us into believing crap. Sometimes, just the angle of the picture could make you believe things and I was hoping this picture was no exception. I stared at it for a few seconds before reading parts of the articles and grimacing. I couldn't just send that to Olivia and ruin her trip and I just decided to ignore it. Perhaps I could tell her later, when she'd be back, but I still was not sure.
I jumped when I got her reply but smiled quickly when I realized it was a selfie. She had her tongue out, her nose up in a grimace, and was literally doing the 'rock and roll' sign with her fingers. The caption said 'I'm coming home babey!' and I started laughing. I put my phone away and took a selfie as I was laying on the couch and just wrote 'I'm waiting for you' before quickly sending her.
She arrived in the middle of the night. At first, I was not sure what had woken me up and I just groaned and squirmed in bed, grabbing a pillow and pulling it close to me, my arms tight around it, but I heard an other thud and forced myself to open my eyes. It only took half a minute to see a shadow walk in my room and I stared at her as I saw her take her shirt and pants off quickly. I moved in bed to give her space and let out a short groan.
"I missed you, pet."
She moved closer and pressed her cold body against mine, my lips curling more when I realized she was completely naked and I suddenly regretted keeping my boxers on.
"How was your flight?"
"Mm, long and loveless." she complained, making me chuckle low.
I brought my lips to hers and kissed her gently before brushing them down her neck as my arm wrapped around her and pulled her closer.
"I'll give you love, angel." I whispered, running my hand on her back, feeling her soft but cold skin.
"What kind?" she just asked with a chuckle.
"Cuddles and caresses for now." I replied in a murmur. "Sweet sex in the morning."
"You know exactly what I want, at all times, don't you?" she replied just as low, making me smile as I kept my eyes closed.
She smelled good despite spending 13 hours on a plane and I wondered how it was even possible. I wanted to ask her if she had stopped at her place first or if she at least had spent some time in the bathroom to clean but I was too tired and I just kissed her shoulder before laying my head on the pillow again.
"Don't leave again, okay?." I muttered randomly. "Losing you is not an option."
She wasn't answering and with all the strength I still had, I once again forced my eyes open only to meet hers. She was sending me a small smile, her eyes also half-opened, and I smiled back slightly at her with a soft gaze.
"I'm definitely adding that to a song." I pointed out before she could answer, making her laugh.
"I'm not leaving, Niall." she just let out after a few minutes of silence. "I missed you too."
I tried to squeeze her in my arms but failed miserably. I was too tired to be strong but she seemed to appreciate the gesture. She chuckled and kissed my chin, sliding one of her legs between mine. My mind was too numb to think but I breathed in only to smell her again. My whole body was exhausted but I tried to fight slumber just to appreciate having her in my arms again, as if she had been gone for months and not just for literally two days. A bunch of things we had talked about came back to my mind and I just couldn't wait to have an other talk with her.
"You're not right behind me, Olivia." I mumbled with difficulty.
"Mm?"
"Earlier, in a text message, you said you'd follow me anywhere, that you were right behind me." I explained until I felt her fingertips brush along my spine. "You're not behind, you're right next to me. I'm holding your hand. I'm not going to lead you. We'll walk together, make decisions together, we'll take every step together, Olivia. Neither of us is leading or following. We're together."
"The dream team." she whispered before biting her bottom lip.
"The dream team. The only team that matters. You and me. Against the world." I pointed out with a smile before she repeated my words like an echo.
"You and me."

Chapter 18 : Her chapter
OLIVIA
I was not mad at Louis for spilling out the fact that we had sex to Niall, but somehow, I wished I could have told him myself. I felt like Niall wouldn't be as pissed as he was if he had heard it from me. On the other hand, I knew Louis well enough to guess that he hadn't been quite gentle with him. Louis has had my back for the past year and more, and although I knew he'd accept it if I decided to go back with Niall, I was also aware that he would be suspicious of him for a while. The problem was that I was not sure I could trust Niall either and I didn't want to start this relationship again on fear. I wanted to find my trust back in him before I gave him my heart again.
But it was not easy. I gripped his fingers tighter and he answered my squeeze, looking in my eyes as I asked him to kiss me. I could feel myself tear up again but this time, I didn't do anything to stop the tears from falling on my cheeks. He said he only made love to me and somehow, that awakened something inside me.. some burning desire, or more like an intense craving for him. Like my heart needed him and my body was desperate for his.
"Should I turn the light off again?" he asked in a low voice, making me lick my lips.
"Yes. And lock the door."
The house was full of our friends and I knew it was not ideal but something inside me screamed that I had to do it and that I would regret not doing it. Niall turned around and locked the door before turning the light off without letting go of my hand. I expected the kiss to be sweet and gentle but instead, he crushed his mouth against mine and let out a short groan, letting go of my hand to reach the bottom of my shirt, pulling it quickly over my head. His warm fingers quickly found my breasts and he groaned again in my mouth.
"Why are you not wearing a bra, petal?" he asked in a whimper, making me chuckle.
"I was wearing a t-shirt, I didn't need one."
"You're something else." he let out as I smiled more. "I missed your tits so much."
I felt his hands grip my breasts tight and he ran his thumbs on my nipples. I could feel them get harder with every flick of his finger and moaned as I nibbled on his bottom lip. I wanted him so bad I felt like my heart was going to explode.
"Mm fuck, remember what I told you the other day in the bathroom? I need to fuck you so hard before I can do anything else." he admitted in a whisper. “I just can't help myself."
Both his hands traveled on my stomach and I sucked it in by habit before exhaling again. I didn't think he really noticed but for me, it was a very big deal. I was allowing myself to be vulnerable in front of him again. I accepted to be vulnerable for him. He played with the buttons of my jeans and pulled on them, bringing my panties down with them too. With difficulty, I stepped out of them exactly when his lips left mine.
"You have no idea how bad I want you." he whispered, his fingertips running quickly on my chest until my neck. He wrapped his hand around my throat and my heart jumped. "So fucking bad."
The more he pressed his fingers on my neck, the more my eyes seemed to flutter as a throbbing sensation invaded my whole body. When was the last time I felt Niall's fingers on my throat? It had been way too long. He made me step back slowly and when I felt my legs hit the side of the bed, I fell and sat on the side. He didn't waste time and got on his knees on the bed, gripping my neck again and roughly laying me down. I pushed myself with my legs and leaned my head on the pillow, his fingers still on my throat.
"Mm, look at you, all naked and fucked because of me." he said in a low tone, bending down closer to me. "Apparently, everyone knows you like being choked and it really pissed me off."
He ran his free hand down my chest and pushed on my thighs to spread them apart before his fingers quickly slipped inside me. My back arched at the feeling and his lips reached mine to kiss me fiercely. He kept his lips against mine as his fingers slipped in and out of me quickly and whenever he was knuckled deep, I felt my eyes flutter and my body tense.
"You're mine." he let out firmly. "You're all mine."
My whole body started throbbing and I opened my eyes to meet his. I had never seen Niall so possessive with me and I had no idea where it was coming from. Harry had mentioned to me a few times when he thought Niall was possessive with me before we dated but besides the tantrum he had thrown when he had found Harry and I in bed at the lodge, I couldn't really think of any other moment, and even that time, it was probably just him looking after me and not jealousy.
"Say it, say you're mine." he ordered as he applied a little more pressure on my throat before loosening it.
He took his fingers out of me and I squirmed, feeling suddenly empty. I knew I had missed him and I was also aware that I missed the way he touched me but I never thought it could be that bad.
"Please, please Niall, don't stop." I stammered, squirming some more.
"Say you're mine."
I felt his thumb brush against my clit and let out a moan despite myself, making him smirk. He did it a second time and I let out a curse word before licking my lips. He was driving me insane and I wanted nothing more than to feel him inside me.
"I'm yours Niall, i'm all yours." I whispered quickly.
As soon as he heard my words, he pushed two of his fingers back inside me and curled them a bit. I couldn't believe how close to an orgasm I already was and I reached for his shirt, gripping it tight as I cursed again. I felt his thumb rub quickly my clit and my back arched again.
"N-Niall, i'm gonna cum."
The feeling of his hand still around my neck was only adding to the pleasure but I tried to postpone the orgasm to feel him a little longer. He moved closer again, his face right in front of mine, and I just wanted to kiss him.
"Scream my name. I want everyone here to know you're mine."
It should have surprised me to hear those words coming from his mouth, or maybe even trouble me, but instead, it made me reach my peak immediately and I started shaking as he finger fucked me harder. I felt myself gush on his fingers as I moaned his name louder than intended and it took me a while to get down from my high. He placed himself over me, letting go of my neck and grinding between my legs as he held himself on his elbows. The fingers of one of his hands slipped in my hair and he sent me a smirk. My lips curled too and I quickly reached for his pants, unzipping them quickly and taking his cock out. My smile faltered for a second when I realized how hard he was and pulled on his pants and boxers as much as I could.
"Please, please fuck me."
He didn't waste any time and pushed himself inside me, making my eyes close and my lips part. I didn't think our first time in over a year would be this intense and fast but it didn't matter. We both built up the tension and lust so high that we literally just fell in each other's arms. It was good, it made my whole body throb, and even after my orgasm, I was enjoying feeling him inside me more than I even remembered.
"Jesus christ, you feel so fucking good." he let out, remaining still inside me. He brought his face closer and let his lips run on my jaw and down my neck, buring his face there and making a shiver run up my spine. I squirmed a bit and noticed him gripping the sheets of the bed tighter. "Don't move petal, please don't move. You have no idea how horny watching you cum made me."
I bit my bottom lip and tried to remain still, bringing my hand in his hair and pulling on it gently.
"Just do what you said you'd do." I whispered, waiting until he moved his head up to look in my eyes to continue. I stared at him, still nibbling on my bottom lip as my whole body seemed on fire. I could feel him throb inside me and it was tough not to move. "Fuck me until you cum inside me. You can use me."
His mouth pressed against mine again and he kissed me deeply. I started pulling on his hair more when he started pounding in me harder than he ever had. It felt so amazing I thought I was going to cum again but after a few minutes, I felt him tense on top of me and he groaned near my ear, making my heart skip a beat.
"I'm yours, Niall." I whispered as he came. "I belong to you, no one else."
"Fuck!"
He pushed himself as deep as he could inside me and I moved against him to help him ride his orgasm until he went limp on top of me. I heard him pant and I let out a short whimper, letting one of my fingers slide gently on his spine. He shivered on top of me from my touch and when I heard him talk again, I felt myself tear up.
"I'm in love with you."
I couldn't talk and held my breath until our eyes met again. He raised his eyebrows and my lips parted. We were locked in my room, in the dark, and I felt like it was just the two of us in the world, the exact same way it used to feel when we were close. Were we as close as we used to be? Did that whole trust and strong bond come back now that we actually fucked?
"I'm in love with you too."
It seemed to satisfy him and he rolled to lie down next to me, his pants and boxers still around his knees and I turned my head his way to let my eyes travel on him for a few seconds. I could see very well in the dark now that my eyes were used to it and we remained silent until he finally turned his head to me too and smiled.
"You want to know something?" he asked in a low tone as I nodded. "I always cum harder with you. I can't cum that hard by myself, or with an other girl. I've tried, but it's impossible."
My lips curled at his confession and I tried not to look too happy. The truth was, it felt amazing to know that, but I felt very selfish for enjoying the fact that he didn't have good orgasms without me.
"Well then, you know where to go when you're horny."
He chuckled and I did too before he squirmed to get his pants off but moved his boxers up and turned my way, holding his head with his hand as his eyes ran on my face. He brought his fingers to my neck and caressed it gently before sighing.
"Did I hurt you?"
My smiled turned into a fond one and then a sad one.
"Not this time, no."
I saw his smile fall again and he moved closer, pressing his lips gently against mine, kissing me gently and slowly a few times as I brought my hand in his hair, playing with it softly.
"I want to be with you, Olivia." he whispered in-between two kisses. "Be mine."
I opened my lips to answer as my heart thumped hard in my chest. I was not ready for that step and deep down, I knew he knew that. He could read me like an open book, and I could read him too. It was scary but also, it felt better than I could explain. I was about to tell him when I heard a knock at the door and jumped slightly as I remembered we were not alone in the world.
"Olivia? I'm so sorry but I really need you right now."
I bit my bottom lip again, still staring at Nial and finally sat up, searching through my drawer for a pair of sweatpants and a shirt.
"I won't be long." I just told Niall before leaving and closing the door behind myself.
Eleanor raised her nose up and I could read guilt on her face but I just sent her a small smile.
"Is it Louis?"
She nodded and I followed her to the living room where Louis was, laying on a couch and clearly drunk. My lips curled a bit and I sighed again, glancing at El before going to my best friend and crouching down to talk to him. His eyes opened and he groaned, blinking a few times as I smiled more.
"You need help to your bed?"
"I'm sorry for telling him." he mumbled with a strong beer breath before I tilted my head. "That was stupid, he asked and I didn't wanna lie. I'm sorry I told him but i'm not sorry about the other things I said. He needed... he needed to hear that."
"Okay, I'll help you to your room," I just said, reaching for his arm and helping him sit up. "Come on, pet."
"Don't you call me that." he grunted as I laughed. "I hate it."
I helped him up and he stumbled as we walked. I caught him every time before he fell and finally helped him in bed, tucking him in as he stared at me with a smirk. It was not the first time I took care of Louis when he was drunk but I was not sure why Eleanor asked me to do it when I knew she's done it before, too.
"Good now?"
"Good now." he muttered with a satisfied sigh but when I was about to leave, he grabbed my wrist. "Hey, wait. Did you let him fuck you?"
He was still holding my wrist and I stared at him, losing my smile before nodding slightly. It made his lips curl more and he chuckled, his fingers slipping from my arm as it fell back on my side. I felt like I could sit with Louis and talk about what happened with Niall all night but he was too drunk to discuss and anyway, Eleanor was the one he wanted to be with.
"Good girl." he just said, making me chuckle and roll my eyes as he smirked again.
I sent a smile to Eleanor as I walked out of the room and she sighed, smiling back at me.
"He had to apologize to you, or else he would have had a bad night."
I smiled more and nodded, realizing that Louis and his girlfriend knew each other very well, probably better than they knew themselves, and after she entered his room and closed the door, I noticed Niall waiting for me by my room. His head was leaned on the frame and he sent me a small smile as something twisted in my stomach. I was looking at him only wearing a shirt and a white pair of boxers and something inside me exploded. I loved him so much it was barely bearable and my lips parted at his sight. It was so weird to love someone so much that you physically hurt inside. I could feel something stir in my stomach, something that was actually pulling me towards him, something that made me believe that he was never close enough, that I would never stop feeling this way, that my love would never fade. It was so strong, sort of like gravity, something I had no control on, and I knew I would never recover from it. It made me want to fall on my knees and cry. It made me want to literally die, not because it was painful, but because I knew that nothing else would ever feel that way. And the worst of all is that there were no words to explain how I felt.
"You okay, petal?"
What would be worse, to be with him again and lose him, or to never be with him ever again? I couldn't answer my own question and suddenly felt nauseous. It probably showed because he frowned and took a few steps to get closer to me.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Are you... A-Are you gonna stay with me?" I stammered, feeling my bottom lip shake a bit.
"Yea, of course i'm staying." he promised in a soft and comforting voice. "I'll hold you all night okay? What's wrong?"
"N-No, I mean... are you gonna stay with me?" I just repeated.
I knew he understood because his traits softened but his eyes never left mine. He wrapped his large hands on my face, his fingers apart and touching my neck, cheeks and jaw, before he moved closer. His lips were so close to mine I could feel his warm breath hitting gently against my mouth.
"Forever, Olivia. Until I die."
It was a big promise to make and I was not sure I believed it, but I fucking wanted to. I wanted it more than anything else in the world. I remained about a minute just looking in his eyes as the sharp pain in my chest was becoming harder and harder to hide and finally, he just shook his head a bit before letting go of my face to take my hand. He pulled me to my room and I followed him, letting him take the lead like I always have since the first day I met him, and when we were both laying down together in the dark again, I stared at him as I remained laying down on my stomach. Gently, he ran his fingers on the side of my face to push my hair away before he moved them on my nape and shoulders slowly, making goosebumps appear all over my body. He pulled the covers off my back to let his fingers travel on it again as I quivered in silence. I loved him. I loved him so much. Even these words seemed extremely weak and didn't do justice to the real feelings inside me.
"I love you." he whispered as he lied down next to me, facing me and staring at me, his fingers still brushing on my skin. "I'm not leaving again. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I'll never make it again. I'll die first."
I don't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up, Nial was still sleeping peacefully next to me. I looked at him for a few minutes before closing my eyes again, trying to stop the tears from falling. I was in deep shit and I didn't know what to do. I loved Niall and the feeling I had the night before was still there, making me realize it would probably always be there, no matter what I did or how long I waited. My heart jumped in my chest when he talked but I was not sure if it was because I was surprised he was awake or because of the words he spoke.
"Leave him." my eyes fluttered open and they met his tired ones. "Be with me. I want to wake up with you, like this, every single morning."
"You're... you're being unfair, Niall." I pointed out in a whisper, knowing that if I talked louder, my voice would crack. "You can't ask me that."
"I have to. I have to because I can't be without you."
"Niall-"
"I can't." he cut me.
"You realize I'm cheating on my husband, Niall, do you?" I expressed in a normal voice as he closed his eyes, swallowed hard and opened them again.
"I'm cheating on my girlfriend, too."
"Not the first time." I replied quickly without thinking, regretting it immediately after.
He sat up and frowned at me and it made me realize that even when I was mad at him, or that he was mad at me, I still felt just as strongly for him as I always did.
"That's fucking unfair. Every time I cheat on a girlfriend it's with you, Olivia, do you even see that?" he asked as I sat up too. "It's always you, it's always been you!"
"Don't say 'always'." I quickly replied. "No I can say that for me, it's always been you but you? No, you can't say that."
"Well now it's clearly not me anymore." he replied, getting a bit defensive. "You're marrying someone else."
"And cheating on him! With someone who broke my heart!" I shook my head. "And what for? To 'live his life' and 'shag all the women he wants'? I've never been a confident person back then, Niall, but here, right now, it's me telling you I deserve better than that."
"Better than what? Better than ME?"
"Better than the way you treated me."
His eyes roamed on my face and I thought he was going to yell at me but instead, his eyes filled with tears and he closed them, swallowing hard. He was beautiful and I could swear my heart stopped. All I could think about was get closer to him, cup his face and kiss him. It was not even sexual, I just wanted to feel him close. I was so pathetic. We were having an argument and even then, I just wanted to be in his arms.
"You're right." he just let out, making my heart jump in my chest. "I treated you like shit and there's no excuse. But Olivia I swear, I didn't mean to break you heart."
"You didn't just break my heart, Niall, you broke me. I was in pieces when you left me." I let out, tearing up too. "I knew I'd never be over it, I thought I'd never be happy again, and just as i feel like my life could turn good you reappear, ready to break me again. Why? Why are you doing that?"
His eyes opened and a tear slid on his cheek. It shocked me so much that I moved my upper body back a bit. He didn't wipe it, he just let it run on his cheek and my eyes followed it until it slipped on his neck.
"Because I love you, Olivia. Because that year without you was not only the worst year of my life, but also the most pathetic I've ever been. Because nothing is worth it if it's not with you, and because if I don't try anything I can to get you back, I will regret it all my life."
My heart sunk in my chest and he moved closer, cupping my face again and bending so close to me I could feel his lips brush against mine as he spoke.
"I'm sorry. I'll give you more time, I shouldn't have asked you to be mine, not yet, you're not ready. Take the time you need, just don't push me away yet."
Without thinking, I quickly moved on my knees and straddled him, pressing my lips against his. He relaxed under me and his arms wrapped around me, pulling my upper body closer and pressing it against his as he deepened the kiss. It was slow but hard and I never wanted it to end.
I knew I should tell him about the discussion I had with Dylan. I knew I should have a real discussion with him, and I promised myself I would, but finally being able to be physically close with Niall was something I had been waiting for, and there was no way I wanted to ruin it again. If I listened to my heart, I wanted to be with him. I wanted to allow him in again, and give him all my trust and love. I wanted to be happy with him the way we had been for a while when we were together, but it was not easy. Every single time I told myself I was going to give him an other chance, I thought about all the nights I cried, all the therapy sessions I had to go to, all the times I got drunk and fucked to forget. I knew life was about taking chances and following your heart, but I was not done mending all the pieces of it yet, and secretly, I hoped Niall would help me with the puzzle.

Chapter 19 : His chapter
NIALL
I couldn't take her out of my mind. At every single moment of the day, no matter what I was doing, the thought of her was obsessing me and invading me completely. I couldn't think straight anymore and even if the fact that being so crazy in love with her was troubling, I knew it was something that was engraved in me. I was fucked. There was no way I was getting out of this. All I wanted to do was drive to her place and spend time with her. I knew it was a bit crazy and that obviously, we couldn't be together every single minute of every single hour of every single day... but I was ready to try.
In an impulse, I got off my couch and grabbed my keys before walking outside. I didn't run, I didn't even hurry up, I just walked to my car feeling light and serene. I parked and walked to the door the exact same way before ringing the bell and when the door opened, I smiled a little, raising my eyebrows.
"Hey, we need to talk."
I watched her frown and she moved away to let me in. I quickly walked inside and closed the door as she walked quickly to the kitchen, turning to glance at me on her way.
"I was just making myself a shake, you want one?"
I pushed my hands in my pockets and cleared my throat. "No, thanks." I followed her slowly and stared at her as she moved around the kitchen. I didn't know why, but everything she did annoyed me.
"Heidi, look, I think it's time we stop."
"We stop what?" she asked, filling her glass without looking at me.
"This relationship."
This time, she stopped everything she was doing and closed her eyes, breathing in and out slowly before opening her eyes again and turning to me. I was expecting a tantrum but if I wanted to be honest with myself, I was ok with it. It was not the first time we broke up but I knew it was the last time.
"It's because of her, isn't it?"
I stared at her for a few seconds and sighed before shrugging and shaking my head slightly.
"Yes and no." I admitted, raising my eyebrows. "I love her, it's true. But also, I've stopped loving you."
She frowned more and her lips parted as she leaned the side of her body against the counter. I stared at her for a few seconds, realizing that she had no effect on me anymore. Yea, she was hot, but there was no desire, no need, no craving. It was not normal after only a few months, was it? I enjoyed sex the whole time I was with Olivia, and wanted her as bad if not even more as when we started dating. I had no idea if it was linked with love or not but it didn't matter. I knew I didn't want to be with Heidi anymore and I was sure it would never come back.
"Don't you see she's playing with you?" Heidi added, frowning even more. "She's getting married, Niall! To an other man! You think she'll drop him and her perfect life to go back with you? Does she even know everything you did after you broke up with her?" she scoffed and rolled her eyes. "It's ridiculous to break up with me, you'll definitely regret it."
It didn't even sound like a threat, it was literally just a fact for her, something she knew would happen, something she just had to wait for, like I was obviously going to crawl back to her eventually. That too didn't matter to me. She could think whatever she wanted.
"You'll be fine." I just pointed out with a shrug, ignoring her rant.
"Don't flatter yourself, Niall. Unlike your ex girlfriend, I won't fall into depression before hanging to the first man that is kind to me. I can live without you. You don't have that ridiculous control over me where I would just do whatever you wanted me to, whenever you wanted me to."
I frowned too, shocked by her words, and scoffed, shaking my head.
"There's literally no reason to be so mean."
"Mean? Who's really mean here, Niall?" she asked, crossing her arms on her chest. "I was there when you broke up with her and when all your friends took her side and abandoned you. I was there through it all, I helped you get back on your feet, and how do you thank me? You go shag your ex girlfriend in my back and then break up with me for her with the ridiculous hope that she's going to take you back."
I wanted to repeat to her that i also stopped loving her, that it was not only because of my feelings for Olivia, and that I didn't do that for anyone but myself, but I knew it was useless.
"You two deserve each other." she just let out.
She didn't seem sad but I knew her well enough to realize that she was hurt and I sighed, licking my lips.
"I'll... show myself out." I just said, trying to keep the anger in. "I'll send you your stuff, don't worry."
I turned around and walked to the door but just as I was about to step out, I heard her voice again.
"Keep them! It's useless to bring my stuff back here, you'll come back eventually." she pointed out, making me roll my eyes. "She'll break your heart soon enough!"
As soon as I got inside my car, I wanted to talk to Olivia. I knew It was not a good time but I couldn't take it out of my mind. I had no idea how I would tell her that I broke up with Heidi either. I knew Olivia told me to wait to tell Heidi about me and her, but that's not totally why I broke up with Heidi anyway, and I just hoped Olivia wouldn't be too mad.
When I came back, I decided to gather all of Heidi's stuff I could find and put it in boxes. I brought them close to the door to get them delivered to her as soon as possible. I didn't want this to drag and be stuck with it for months. I wanted this to be over with and put it in the past. I was not going back to her, no matter what Heidi seemed to believe.
I ended up in the guest room and when my eyes fell on the nightstand, I held my breath. Olivia's panties were still there. I had even put the second pair that she gave me at the club at the same place, to make sure that Heidi wouldn't find them. I couldn't resist much longer and walked up to it, opening the drawer and taking both pairs in my hands. I stared at them for a while before sitting in bed and leaning my back on the headboard with a sigh. I closed my eyes and thought about what had happened when we were supposed to celebrate Harry's birthday, my fingers gripping her panties harder. Of course, we had had an intense discussion on the next morning but the sex, even if not really what I had hoped for, was exactly what I expected. I had missed her and the way she felt and I couldn't hide that I also missed how hard she could make me cum. I wished I could have lasted longer, but I couldn't wait to feel myself inside her again and I groaned low when I felt myself getting hard.
I could still hear her moan and pant but the most exciting was when she told me she was mine, and when she whimpered my name loud enough for the whole house to hear. I had no idea if they heard anything but the fact that she willingly did that to make me horny was perfect and the way she whispered again that she belonged to me as I came made my orgasm even stronger. It was true, perhaps I as a bit jealous of the fact that she had sex with Louis but just like Heidi and Louis both liked to remind me, I hadn't been quite wise myself after I broke her heart.
The more I thought about that night, the harder I was getting and when I brought my hand to my pants, I grunted, feeling myself twitch from my own touch. Moving my ass up, I pushed my short down and grabbed my cock with one hand before taking my phone and snapping a quick picture. The outline of my dick was very clear through my boxers and I decided not to think and just sent it with a short message.
'I can't wait to be inside you again.'
I waited for an answer as my heart was thumping inside my chest and my eyes were glued to the screen of my phone. It took only a few minutes but it felt like an hour.
'Show me' was all she sent and my eyebrows raised as I chuckled.
'You show me'
It took again a few minutes but when I clicked on the picture she sent, my eyes roamed around it. It was just her chest stuck into a shirt but I could see the shape of her hard nipple, along with the barbell on each side. Her hand was grabbing the other one and I let out a curse word when I notice I could see her lips at the top of the picture and the fact that she was biting her bottom one made me even hornier. I loved how her whole tit fitted in her hand and I noticed her other hard nipple poking between her fingers.
'You're such a tease. Please petal, show me'
'I'm a tease? You barely showed me anything. 😝'
I chuckled again at her message but I still hesitated. It's not that I didn't trust her, in fact, I trusted her more than anyone in the world, but sending that kind of picture could be very dangerous. Still, I took my cock out of my boxers and squeezed it with my left hand before taking a picture. I was so horny that I was not really thinking with my head anymore but I still took the time to double check, making sure I was sending it to the right person. I felt my heart skip a beat when I saw it was sent and waited for her answer. I could feel my cock throb against my palm but when I saw her picture, it literally twitched. She had moved her shirt up and was holding the bottom of it in her mouth. One of her hands was still holding her left tit but I could still see her hard nipple between two of them while the other was just free and exposed to my avid eyes.
'Since you said you missed them, here's a picture you can keep. 😏'
Without thinking, I started jerking myself off while staring at her picture. I couldn't stop thinking about her and how bad I wanted her but after a while, I messaged her again.
'Nothing I want more than to cum all over your tits and make you mine.'
It took her only a few seconds to answer this time.
'You need to know i'm rubbing my pussy right now, looking at your cock'
The thought was so hot I let out a curse word and had to stop stroking my cock. I was already close but I wanted this whole conversation to last a little longer. I had sent and received a few dirty messages before but I've always preferred physical contact to long distance sex, obviously. I could just ask her to come over, or rush out and drive to her, but this was clearly a first time I enjoyed and I tried to push my luck a little.
'Show me your pretty little cunt'
I didn't know if she would really do it but it was worth a try and when I received the picture, I quickly let go of my cock and glanced it it, noticing it twitching again.
"Oh my fucking god."
I closed my eyes but all i could see behind my eyelids was the pictures she sent me and the way she came when I fingered her. I waited a few seconds to make sure I was not too close from an orgasm again and opened my eyes, quickly typing an answer to her.
'You make me want to cum so fucking bad.'
I blinked a few times after sending it, realizing that I made a few typos, and took my cock in my hand again, stroking myself as slowly as I could. It was insane to realize that she could turn me on almost just as much with words and pictures than when she was physically with me.
'Please cum for me and then show me.'
My lips parted and i just scrolled up the conversation to look at the pictures she sent me as my hand moved up and down on my cock, rubbing against the tip and going back down until my balls. I couldn't stop thinking about cumming all over her and it only took me a minute or two to actually feel an orgasm hit me. I closed my eyes tight and brought my dick closer to me to cum on my stomach, letting out a few grunts and curse words, my face twisting with pleasure. When I came down from my high, I sighed and loosened the grip on my phone to take a picture that I sent to her. I knew it was the kind of things she enjoyed and after sending her, I quickly found tissues to clean myself. I pulled my shorts and boxers up and got up to go to the bathroom just as I got an other message.
'You made me cum so hard I shook and moaned your name.'
She had sent one last picture and when I saw it, my lips parted again.
"Fuck."
It was simply a picture of her mouth as she was sucking her fingers and I leaned against the bathroom counter for balance as a throbbing sensation hit my whole body.
'I wish I could have seen that, petal. Please come over tomorrow night.'
I couldn't pretend I didn't expect her to deny the invitation but I hoped that her post-orgasm feeling would be in my favor. I knew her well enough to realize that if she said no, it was because she felt guilty about her boyfriend but I was also pretty sure that she wanted to spend time with me. Perhaps it was in the way she touched me on the night we fucked, or maybe it was the way she looked at me before we kissed... I was not really sure. All I knew was that I could feel it deep inside me. I knew that what I felt, she felt too, and although she was not ready to trust me again, it was a challenge for her to stay away from me and stop herself from physically being with me.
'What time?'
My heart jumped in my chest and my lips curled into a bigger smile than I thought. It was only the anticipation of being close to her again but I felt my whole body on fire.
'7pm'
                                                     ----
I checked the list I had made but I was pretty sure I was forgetting something. I had spent the day running errands and preparing food and when I finally decided to get dressed, I only had ten minutes left. I panicked before remembering that Olivia was always late. Sometimes, it was only a few minutes, some other times, it was half an hour, and although it was a flaw I completely hated, since I was the total opposite, I was sort of glad she was like that if only to give me time to put something else on other than this old pair of sweatpants and t-shirt.
I was working on my hair when the doorbell rang and I let out a curse word, moving my hair up a bit more with my fingers and sending myself one last look in the mirror. I rushed to the door and when I opened it, my lips curled again.
"Sorry, I'm a few minutes late." she started as I moved back to let her in. "I had to rearrange my make up last minute."
"At least you didn't fall asleep." I joked as I smiled more, making her lose her smile.
"Okay that happened once."
"More like a million times." I chuckled, making her grimace. "Oh remember that time you fell asleep and we had that stupid test and I literally wrote your name on my copy?"
This time, her lips curled in a fond smile and she tilted her head on the side. I loved the way she was looking at me. That was exactly how I wanted to make her feel at all times, or almost.
"I remember." she let out in a low tone. "I was surprised because we were both in trouble and your mom had threatened you not to let you go to the football game if you failed."
"Heard it was a great match." I laughed as she put her purse on the couch, following me to the kitchen. "Your parents though, they had said they wouldn't let you out for a month or something. I didn't want to spend a month without you."
"I wish we had dated back then." she let out as she seemed lost in her thoughts but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she tensed and glanced in my eyes before looking away and letting out an embarrassed chuckle. "Sorry that was... out of line." she added, shaking her head.
I took a step closer, putting my glass away, and cupped her face, tilting her head up to look in her eyes. There were so many things I wanted to tell her but I wasn't sure they would come out of my mouth properly and I ended up just licking my lips and kept it simple.
"That wasn't out of line, it was legit." I explained, breathing in. "Sometimes, I wish we had dated back then too... but at the same time, who knows how things would have turned out if we had? Maybe we wouldn't even be friends anymore."
She nodded with a sad expression and pressed her lips together. I stared at her for a few more seconds before bending down and capturing her lips with mine. I closed my eyes, just enjoying the way she tasted and when I pulled away, I let my hands run on her shoulders and arms.
"Uhm, " I started, clearing my throat. "Chicken is good for you?"
For some reason, I was nervous. I has a few things I wanted to clear with her and I had no idea how it would go but I still hoped she would stay the night. She nodded and we sat at the table but I just laughed when she took a seat next to me instead of in front of me. She brought her utensils and plate to her new spot and I shook my head slightly with a chuckle before she turned to me again.
"What's the point in being so far apart?" she asked, reaching for my hand on the table, running her fingertips on the back of it. "I missed you."
I stared at our hands for a few moments before turning my palm up and grabbing her fingers. Her lips curled slightly more and she looked up in my eyes before frowning.
"Are you okay?"
I licked my lips and squeezed her fingers in mine before moving my upper body closer, my eyes not looking straight into hers.
"Please don't be mad, but there's something I have to tell you." I let out as her lips parted and her eyes got bigger. I knew it was stressing her and I decided to just spill it out, hoping it wouldn't ruin the evening. "I broke up with Heidi."
"Oh."
"I didn't love her anymore, I couldn't just stay with her for form. I know you didn't want me to do it and it was probably because you didn't know what you wanted and you didn't want to be responsible for this break up but... you're not. I mean okay, i broke up with her also because I love you, but you're not to blame for this break-up, it's on me, and I wanted it. I wanted out of this relationship."
Her eyes roamed on my face as she listened to my speech and finally, she nodded slightly.
"Okay, Niall."
I sighed in relief and chuckled nervously as she tilted her head and raised her eyebrows.
"You were scared of my reaction?"
I felt my cheeks turn red and brought my hand to the back of my head, scratching it as I chuckled and cleared my throat.
"Yea, a bit."
She tried to hide her smile by biting her bottom lip but all it did was make me glance at her mouth. I thought about the picture of her breasts in a hidden folder of my phone, where she held her shirt up between her teeth and my whole body throbbed.
"So, you're single?" she finally asked, grabbing her fork and playing with her food.
"I am." I admitted as she nodded. "But... you're not."
She stopped moving completely and finally put her fork down before sighing. She didn't seem mad, she seemed tired or exhausted... and a bit sad, too. It made me want to take her in my arms and hold her close to me until she'd feel better.
"No, I'm not." she sighed again. "Look, Niall, I'm gonna be very honest with you... Dylan knows we had sex or I mean, I tried to tell him when we kissed but he assumed we fucked. He said... to go through what I have to go through with you and then meet him at the altar."
I let out an other nervous chuckle and frowned. "That's a... joke, right?"
The way she looked at me confirmed that it was not and I scoffed, leaning my back on my chair and crossing my arms on my chest as I shook my head.  Was that serious? Did my ex girlfriend let me fuck her and sent me nudes to 'live what she had to live' with me and that was it? It was so infuriating I laughed again but without amusement as I tried to keep my anger inside.
"Jesus christ." I cursed and looked back at her. "So basically, you're having a little fun with me and then you're just leaving and getting married to an other man?"
"Niall, please-"
"No!" I cut her, getting up to pace the room as I passed my hand in my hair, pulling on it from time to time. "I'm not a fucking toy, Olivia, you need to stop playing with me! Fuck off!"
She got up too and walked to me. I expected her to scream or tell me to calm down but instead, she got on her tiptoes and kissed me. I relaxed as her lips moved gently against mine but I didn't dare touching her and she didn't touch me either. We were just kissing deeply and slowly but also greedily. The desire I felt in the way she kissed me made mine even stronger and when she whimpered in my mouth, I felt something stir in my stomach.
"I didn't decide anything, Niall." she confessed in a murmur, her lips brushing against mine. "I don't know if i'm gonna marry Dylan. It's the first time I admit that out loud."
I let my eyes roam on her. She was so close it was the only thing I could see : her sad eyes staring right back at me. I could smell her perfume and feel her warm breath on my lips and nothing could make my heart stop beating extra hard in my chest.
I just crashed my mouth against hers again and pulled her body closer to mine. I wanted to skip dinner and bring her to my room even if it was not the plan and when I felt her hands grip the front of my shirt, I groaned.
"I made all this food." I whispered with a chuckle.
"I know, we can eat it later."

Chapter 17 : Her chapter
OLIVIA
Harry and I hadn't talked about what had happened before joining everyone in the kitchen but the way he had taken me in his arms said everything. I was impatient to be close to him again but I didn't say anything and started eating slowly. I sent a few glances to Niall but he was clearly avoiding my gaze and it hurt more than I wanted to admit to myself.
We had a nice talk and when he said he loved me and always would, I could feel all the love I have for him rush back to my brain and invade my whole body, making me slightly dizzy. His face was so close, he smelled amazing, and I had hoped for a kiss I should never even dream of. It was so wrong of me but I couldn't help it. When I was with Harry, I was happy, but no matter what, I always ended up thinking about Niall.
I looked down, trying not to look at him again but it was killing me. Eventually, he got up and left the room and I couldn't help thinking it was because he was mad at me. I had no idea why I couldn't brush this feeling, especially with the conversation we had had only a few minutes ago, but I couldn't help it.  I noticed Maya leaving the room only a few minutes after him and it made me extremely nauseous. He had made it clear that he was not interested and I wanted to believe him but if I had to be completely honest with myself, I really didn't know how long a guy could resist someone like her.
I felt Harry's hand on my shoulder and it took me out of my thoughts as he moved closer. I could feel his breath on my cheek and it made me shiver.
"You wanna go for a walk?"
I was not sure I wanted to be away from Niall but at this point, I knew I had to do things for myself, especially if I wanted Harry and I to actually have something that belonged only to us. I turned my face slightly to look at him and my lips curled into a fond smile as I nodded.
"Okay." he whispered, smiling at me, his gaze dropping to my lips.
I chuckled low and got up with him, grabbing the hand he was extending to me. I thanked everyone mentally for pretending they didn't see us leave and we kept silent until we were in the woods, surrounded by trees. He squeezed my fingers gently and I did the same, breathing in and out loud enough as I tilted my head.
"I'm so sorry, Harry."
He stopped suddenly and I turned to him, still holding his hand tight.
"There's no reason, you did nothing wrong."
I wanted to apologize for Niall's behavior but also for the way I pushed Harry away when Niall threw a tantrum. I wanted to apologize because we didn't have time to finish what we started, and also because of that conversation I had with Niall that Harry didn't even witness, because even if it felt so right, I knew it was wrong. Or at least, the thoughts in my head were. Instead, I just blinked a few times and swallowed hard, trying to get rid of the lump in my throat without much success.
I took a few steps back and leaned against a tree as he walked closer. I brought my hand up to his chest and grabbed his shirt softly, licking my lips and staring at my fingers.
"I know my friendship with Niall is... different." I admitted. "You know I'll never stop being his friend, right?"
It took a few seconds for Harry to answer and all I could focus on was the hard beating of my heart all over my body. I was scared he was going to reject me but at the same time, I couldn't go on without making things clear with him. Niall was always going to be important for me, and that would never change.
"Of course I know." he let out, taking an other step closer to me. "I've always known. And i'd never ask you to change things with him."
His words made the left corner of my lips move up as I still stared at my fingers playing nervously with his shirt.
"Liv, I just want a place in your heart." he added very low, making a shiver cross my back. "I'm not asking for all of it."
This time, I looked up and sent him a bigger smile. How did I get so lucky to find someone like Harry? I still wasn't sure why he had chosen me but I wanted to believe in this.
"When you say things like that, you make me want to get on my knees, you realize that?"
He laughed louder than I expected and shook his head, bending down until his lips reached mine. I closed my eyes, allowing him to kiss me deeper, and whimpered lightly in his mouth, making his smile through the kiss.
"How is it possible that I can never get enough of you?" I breathed out with a chuckle when he pulled away, still keeping his lips close to mine.
"I don't know but if you find out, let me know." he let out. "Because I can't get enough of you either."
I let one of my hands slide on his chest and stop on his tummy, running my fingers under the waistband of his shorts. I wanted him to take me right there, against that tree, but I knew it was not reasonable and I just moaned low as I let my hand slip on his cock. He bucked his hips against my hand and moved back slightly to look in my eyes. I sent him a smirk as my hand rubbed slowly against the fabric of his shorts and I could feel him swell beneath my fingers.
"You're driving me crazy." he let out with a groan, his eyes closed as he held himself against the trunk of the tree with one hand. "I want to feel your hands on me, just your hands."
My eyes roamed on his face and my heart skipped a beat at how gorgeous he was. I didn't remember seeing a man so beautiful before, especially from up close, and I held my breath. Slowly, I slipped my fingers under the waistband of his shorts again and finally slid my hand in his boxers.
"Fuck."
I brushed my lips gently over his as my hand grabbed his dick. I felt my heart jump in my throat and held my breath as I squeezed him tight. He was big, much bigger than I expected, and I couldn't help but wonder how he would feel inside me. I took his dick out of his pants just to glance down at it quickly but when I moved my eyes back to his face, his eyes were open and he was smirking at me.
"You're being very naughty, little one." he pointed out with a chuckle. "If you wanted to look, you could have just asked."
"You saw me naked, it's only fair that I see you naked too, don't you think?" I explained with a bigger smile, raising my eyebrows.
His eyes roamed on my face and it felt so intense that my smile faltered a bit. After a few seconds, I brought my second hand to his cock and started stroking him gently, this time looking in his eyes and biting my bottom lip.
"I'll definitely think about it." he let out, his lips parting as I kept jerking him slowly, focusing on his tip and running my fingers to his balls.
I loved pleasuring him more than I thought I would. The way he stared at me and how he groaned so low I barely heard were enough to make my inner thighs throb but I just wanted to focus on him, the way he had only focused on me earlier.
My eyes fluttered when his head moved back slightly and his eyes closed. I moved closer and brushed my lips on his chin as he cursed a few times in a breath, and I held my breath again when his mouth opened wider. I took his bottom lip in my mouth and sucked on it as he started shaking close to me, the incredible taste making me close my eyes.
"Holy f-"
I opened my eyes quickly, just in time to see his face twist as he reached his high. He looked fucking amazing and I felt butterflies hit the inside of my stomach as I stared at him. He groaned low and I felt him cum in my hands but kept stroking the full length of his cock until he started panting. Watching him was an experience I knew I'd enjoy but never that much. I kept rubbing my thumb gently on his tip, spreading some of his cum on it, until he opened his eyes. His mouth found mine and he kissed me roughly as I smiled against his lips.
I brought my arms around his neck, making sure I kept my hands away and when he finally backed away, it made him laugh.
"We should go back yea? So you can clean?"
I chuckled and nodded quickly but he took his shirt off and handed it to me. I frowned at him, a smile still on my lips, and he raised his eyebrows.
"Go head, take it." he insisted, shaking the shirt he had in hands. "I'll just wash it later."
I grabbed it quickly and wiped my hands, still staring at him before handing it back to him with a smirk. He finished putting his shorts back and took it, brushing his fingers gently against mine and making me smile more.
"Cold water, as soon as possible."
This time, he laughed louder and took his shirt back with a nod.
"Thanks for the tip." he let out, half-joking, before holding out his hand for me.
"Anytime."
I took his hand and he squeezed my fingers hard enough to make my heart jump in my chest again.  It took me the whole walk back to the lodge to realize exactly what had happened and if I wanted to be honest with myself, I was slightly starstruck that I actually had made Harry Styles reach an orgasm. Was it wrong to be excited by something like that? It's not like I had just met him or anything, but he was still out of my league and always would be.
He opened the sliding door for me and we both entered the kitchen as he let go of my hand to cup my face. Instinctively, I moved on my tiptoes and he tilted my chin up, making me inhaled deeply. His lips reached mine and I closed my eyes again as soon as his mouth pressed gently against mine. I brought my hands to his, over my cheeks, and smiled, keeping my eyes closed.
"Go clean up, i'll get us a drink, okay?"
Slowly, i nodded, enjoying his breath hitting softly on my skin and I sighed of happiness before opening my eyes and smiling at him. It made me chuckle low and I licked my lips, finally turning on my heels and reaching the hall.
I knew Harry and I had been quiet but I was pretty sure Niall and Maya could have heard us walk in. Unfortunately, it seemed like they didn't, and when I entered the living room, Niall's face was so close to hers I had to swallow hard. She was giggling like a schoolgirl and even if I was trying really hard, I couldn't seem to be able to move. I just remained motionless and powerless when one of his hands reached for her face, bringing her closer to him. I knew what was going to happen before it happened, but everything seemed to go in slow motion right in front of my eyes.
Like they had seen Harry and I's first kiss, I was witnessing theirs, or at least the first one in a long time. As soon as their kiss got deeper, I felt nauseous and rushed to the nearest bathroom, closing the door roughly behind myself and locking it with trembling hands.
I leaned against the door, letting myself slide down until I was sitting on the cold tiles of the floor. It was impossible, I had imagined all that, right? After all, Niall had been clear about his non-existent feelings for her, and he had never lied to me, or at least, not that I knew of. Still, I liked to believe that if he ever would lie to me, i'd be able to tell. Undoubtedly, I was a fool.
It took me a few seconds to realize I was actually crying and I knew I was pathetic. It was lamentable of me to be crying over my best friend kissing an other girl when I had had such a great time with a guy I actually liked. What did I expect anyway? I couldn't assume that Niall would just remain single for the rest of his life, right? And him dating a girl like Maya made so much sense that I couldn't even pretend I was surprised.
The truth was, my heart felt like it was stuck in a vice, and the image of Niall and her kissing made it feel like someone was squeezing it harder and harder with every passing second. I wanted to leave, I wanted to be as far as possible from this place, even if I was totally aware that my pain would follow me no matter where I'd run. I thought about screaming, or hitting the door, but I felt suddenly extremely weak. Pressing my palms hard on my eyes, I tried to keep the tears in but my throat started burning and sobs escaped my lips in horrible sounds.
I jumped suddenly when someone knocked at the door and held my breath when I recognized Harry's voice.
"Hey, Liv, are you alright?"
Quickly and with a strength I wasn't aware I had, I jumped on my feet and cleared my throat, reaching the sink.
"Yea, i'm good, I'm coming!"
I washed my hands and unlocked the door only to meet Harry's worried face. I glanced at the glass of red wine he had in one of his hands while the other was holding the door frame.
"Niall said you rushed here, are you sure you're alright?"
I faked a smile the best I could and nodded. I could tell him I felt bad for ruining the kiss between Niall and Maya and that it was the reason why I had locked myself in the bathroom but I didn't want to mention what had happened, as if saying it out loud would make it more real. Suspiciously, Harry ended me the glass and without thinking, I swallowed all of it, the acidity bringing my taste buds alive and making me suddenly feel better as a wave of heat invaded my body.
"Thanks, Harry." I just breathed out, looking up in his eyes as I tried to bring all the good feelings I had when I was with him back inside me. "I'm just feeling a bit tired, do you mind if we call it a night?"
It was early, I knew it, but I couldn't think about anything else than Niall kissing Maya and I needed to be alone, preferably in the dark. Harry sent me an understanding smile and shook his head lightly before taking a step closer and kissing me again. It was comforting and I let myself focus only on the way his lips felt for a few seconds.
"Of course, darling." he whispered, pecking my lips. "I hope you sleep well, and if you need me, you know where to find me."
I waited until he was gone to practically run to my room, closing the door behind myself and jumping in the bed, throwing the covers over my head. I had a hard time breathing as Niall and Maya's kiss kept playing over and over again in my head, like a bad movie scene that was engraved on my retina. I quickly got rid of my clothes, only keeping my panties and shirt on.
It was not the first time I saw Niall kiss someone but recently, I had allowed my feelings for him to invade me in a way I shouldn't have. I was so used to hide them inside me, piling other feelings over them, that letting them come alive made them extremely vivid and real. I also knew Niall would never settle for someone like Heidi, but with Maya, it was the opposite. Why wouldn't he want to start something serious with her?
My thoughts got interrupted when I heard the door open slowly. I held my breath and remained motionless until I felt someone sit in bed. Even from under the covers, I recognized Niall's scent and it made a sharp pain appear suddenly in my chest. After about a minute, he lied down in bed and I pushed the blankets off my face, glad that he hadn't turned the light on. I had cried more than I thought and I knew my eyes were puffy and red. He wasn't surprised that I was there but he turned around to have his back face me. My lips parted slightly at how hurt I was from his behavior but I didn't mention it.
"You kissed Maya."
My words were simple but I knew he could hear an accusation in my voice and I swallowed hard again. It seemed like that's all I had done all day and I was tired to keep inside all the pain I felt. It sure was not a healthy way to live.
"You fucked Harry."
I opened my lips to argue but decided against it. There was no use to correct him about it because it was not the point. He was telling me he could do anything he wanted and that I could do anyone I wanted. He was telling me we were two different persons who didn't owe each other anything when it came to relationships and sex and he was right. Just because I was in love with him didn't mean I could decide who he could and couldn't date and even if he didn't know how I felt for him, it didn't change anything.
"You said you didn't like her." I pointed out, trying to justify myself. "You told me you weren't interested. You shouldn't do that to her."
"Okay but maybe I changed my mind, have you thought about that?"
"In half a day?" I let out a bit louder, raising my eyebrows as I stared at his back.
He rolled around and when our eyes met, I felt my heart melt completely. I wasn't even aware that I still had a heart. I thought it had turned into dust when I saw Niall kissing an other girl. A perfect girl.
"Well it took you half a day to let my bandmate stick his dick inside you, right?"
He was not right but I was not going to talk about it with him. I was not going to start a fight with him because I knew I'd end up crying and I was tired to cry in front of him. I was tired to argue with him. I didn't want to hear him talk about how he had feelings for Maya now and that he was going to date her. I was scared I'd admit how much I love him if we fought again.
"Just... don't play with her."
His face changed and an expression of guilt appear. He looked away and nodded once, breaking my heart even more. This was not supposed to happen, I was not supposed to let this affect me and I was not supposed to lecture him about a girl he most likely wanted to date. Then again, he was also not supposed to yell at a guy I liked just because he didn't think we should have sex but it had happened anyway.
We were both going a bit insane but I didn't want to think about it.
"Good night, Niall." I just let out in a murmur, scared that my voice would crack.
"Good night, petal."
The sweet nickname made my heart ache again and it echoed in my head until I finally fell asleep. I woke up with someone kissing my lips and whimpered low, blinking a few times as I tried to see in the dark. My first thought was Niall but after the conversation we had had before sleep, it was definitely impossible. I raised my nose in a grimace as I told myself it would be impossible no matter what had happened before and I just rubbed one of my eyes. I was surprised to see Harry's face really close to mine but I couldn't pretend I was not happy. Niall may have broken my heart a few hours earlier but Harry's smile made me realize that it was still beating in my chest, even if weak and slow. I could survive this, right?
"Come with me."
I frowned but curiosity won me over. I sat up in bed, turning to see Niall deeply asleep, and tried to keep in the tears that threatened to come out. I noticed Harry was waiting for me and I sent him a smile as I got up slowly and followed him through the hall until we were in the backyard. It was late, probably in the middle of the night, and I yawned, turning to face him and raising my eyebrows.
"Why are we here, Harry?"
He chuckled and took his shirt off quickly, letting it fall next to the pool as he did the same with his boxers. My mouth dropped as I stared at him, my eyes shamelessly, running on him.
"Love, my eyes are up here."
I laughed at his funny comment and looked up at him as he sent me a smirk. His eyes seemed to be shining and I suddenly felt exactly the way I felt when we were kissing in the woods earlier.
"Your turn."
I was still self-conscious and a bit ashamed of my imperfect body but without any hesitation, I took my panties and shirt off, letting them fall over his own clothes. His lips curled into a surprised but amused smile and he took a step closer.
"You said you never went skinny dipping." he finally explained. "Thought it was time to change that."
I wanted to ask questions but I kept quiet and simply nodded, walking past him and walking down the small ladder quickly. The water was a bit cold but I just turned to him as he followed me, immediately reaching for me. His arms slithered around my waist and he pulled me closer. I felt my now hard nipple rub against his chest and held my breath.
"Is that how you skinny dip with everyone?" I asked low, chuckling.
"No, only with the pretty ones."
My heart melted at his words and my smile turned into a tender one.
"Why did you really bring me here, Harry?" I questioned, tilting my head. "Honestly."
"Honestly? To pay you back for earlier, in the woods."
I laughed low, scared I would wake someone up if I laughed louder, and shook my head a few times.
"I was already paying you back for this afternoon." I pointed out. "Is it always going to be like that?"
At my words, his face softened and he bent down to kiss me extremely gently.
"For a very long time," he whispered against my lips. "Yea, I hope so."
He kissed me harder and I closed my eyes as I tasted him. I didn't know what he had in mind but resisting was unimaginable. I wanted this, I wanted him, and if I was about to lose Niall, I sure as hell didn't want to lose Harry too. I really wanted to feel whatever he was ready to make me feel.
He pushed me against the pool and his hand reached for my waist. I held my breath when I realized he wanted me to sit on the side. I tried to do it myself but he simply moved me out of the water swiftly, scaring me slightly. I exhaled loudly, realizing I had held my breath all along and he moved between my legs the same way he had on the first day we got there.
"Just relax, okay?"
He placed both his hands on my knees and parted my legs extremely slowly, staring in my eyes. My heart jumped up until my throat when I realized what he was going to do and my lips parted.
"Harry, no, anyone could see us." I breathed out, making him smile more.
"Don't worry, they won't see anything."
My legs were tense and It took me a few seconds to relax. I bit my bottom lip very hard, not even thinking of the pain, as he moved closer, running his lips on my neck and down my breasts. It was one thing to feel Harry's hand between my legs but when his lips reached my pussy, I felt my whole body throb from excitement but also from embarrassment. How many naked girls did Harry go down on in his life and how many of them had small thighs, perfect breasts and tiny bodies? Probably all of them.
He didn't make any comment and started kissing my inner thighs as I had a hard time to focus on him. All I could seem to do was over-analyze every single part of my body that he was seeing from up close and it was driving me insane.
It's only when his tongue slipped on my slit that all my worries seemed to fade away. I held myself with both my hands leaning on the ground behind myself as his tongue ran on me and when I felt it slide inside me, I let out a whimper, my nails scratching lightly the cement. I spread my thighs more and cursed a few times at the incredible feeling it brought me and closed my eyes.
"You taste so fucking amazing."
"Mm, fuck."
I brought one of my hands to his hair, gripping it a bit roughly and I felt the only arm left that was holding me start shaking. I don't know how long he stayed between my legs but I didn't want him to move away ever again and when his lips wrapped masterly around my clit and started sucking on it, the moan I let out was louder than I expected.
"Oh my god please don't stop!"
My body jolted a few times as an orgasm spread all over my body and I couldn't remember ever coming so intensely from oral sex. He kept working on me until my body went limp and slowly, I lied down on the hard ground, my eyes closed. I heard the water move and suddenly felt his body hovering over me, making me smile.
"You wanted to make sure I'd never forget my first time skinny dipping, right?"
When I opened my eyes, he was smirking, holding himself over me with his hands on each side of my head. I could feel his hard dick press on my left thigh but simply stared in his eyes.
"Tell me you're never forget." he whispered.
"I'll never forget."
