Why Don't We Go There?
Chapter Twenty
Clary's POV
I woke up and felt someone's arms around me. Mmm I like this feeling. Wait a minute...whose arms are around me? My eyes instantly flew up and saw Niall. I of course, being the smooth person I am, freaked out and fell out of the bed. I landed on Liam. I heard him moan and wake up. "What the hell Clary?!"
"I uh...uh...sorry Liam." I got back on the bed. I heard him grumble and move away from the bed.
I heard Haz and Liam whispering "Who fell?"
"Clary."
"Oh." Then they both wen back to sleep.
Why was I cuddling with Niall? I mean I am not complaining because I really wanted to do that but I just can't. I heard Niall moan a bit and then roll over. I laid there frozen. Don't make any noises or sudden movements and I'll be fine.
And then I heard him moan my name. "Clarissa." Well great he is dreaming about us having sex! Oh my gosh...I'm flattered but also very uncomfortable right now. But still I looked over at him. Damn he was so hot. His hair wasn't all gelled up. It laid against his forehead. He had some nice bed head going. I rolled over on my side so we were facing each other. My dad is probably throwing something up at heaven. I just hear him yelling That's my baby girl! She can't be doing this! Make it stop! Do something! Oh well. I studied his lips. They weren't as full as Harry's but they still were pretty full compared to most guys. I guess...I don't really know.
They looked soft. I wonder how they would feel on mine...okay that is not how I should think about him. We are just friends. I rolled so my back was to him. There now if I can't see him then I won't think that stuff. Problem solved.
Then I hear him moving again. Jeez I have become very aware of where he is on the bed. I think he moved closer. WHY WOULD HE MOVE CLOSER?! I was never trained for this! A war yes but never sharing a bed with a boy.
Suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me again and pulled me so my back was flat against his chest. I stopped breathing. What the fuck do I do? Call for help? Is anyone awake? Do they not know what is happening? Is he always this cuddly in bed? I need a way out.
I decide to get Lilly to help. I loudly whisper her name. Then I see a mess of blonde hair pop up at the end of the bed. "Look at you two. So cute. I figured after he punched Nate for you, you guys would end up. I am going back to bed though."
"No no no! You have to help me! Get him off of me!"
"You're so funny." Then she vanished again.
"Lilly!" Ugh great. Maybe I'll just try to move away. I went to move his arms but they just tightened. Which only made me closer to him. He sighed. I could not handle this. Soon I will not want to move and I'll be trapped in his muscular arms forever. Which wouldn't be a bad thing...Focus Clary!
Maybe I'll just wake him up. Okay now how do I do that. I could push him off the bed, poke him, or shake his shoulder. What time is it? I try to grab my phone but then his stupid muscular, toned arms tightened again. Damn it! I just want my phone. I try again and get it. Yes! I check the time it was almost noon. Well shit. I roll over so we were chest to chest. His arms reattached around me. I'm all tangled up in Niall's arms. I really should try to get him up.
But instead I just laid there. This felt very nice. Suddenly though his eyes opened and met mine. We just looked at each other. I was more stunned speechless because up close his eyes looked even more blue...I never saw such blue eyes...
Niall's POV
I wake up because I could feel Clary moving, so if she was up I might as well. I feel like she escaped my arms though. But I got her back so I didn't matter. But I definitely remember a thud. Harry probably kicked the bed post or something in his sleep. Whatever not important. I am staring into her beautiful green eyes. They were even better up close. So so green. "Good morning beautiful."
"Technically it's the afternoon." I could see she was holding her phone in one of her hands. They were both on my chest. Oh yea I'd love to wake up like this everyday.
"Oh...well then good afternoon." I smiled and just looked at her.
"Can you let go of me?" I froze. Shit. I thought that she liked it. That we could...I guess not. I let go and she practically flies out of the bed. Say something! Anything! Just say something you idiot!
"Clary...I'm sorry I am a cuddler...I didn't mean to." Okay...well I could've said worse.
"Its fine Niall. No big deal. We are still on for the history project later though?" I could tell that she felt so uncomfortable. Way to go you moron. I just looked at her.
"Yea...of course! Um what time?" I JUST RUINED EVERYTHING.
"How about 4? You can stay for dinner if you want to. Um I have to go. But tell everyone I had fun!" She smiled quickly.
Then she gathers her things and basically runs out of my house. Well this day already sucked. It was about 3pm when everyone decided to head home. Haz, Louis, and Liam knew something was bothering me. "You okay mate?"
"Huh? Oh yea I'm fine. See you guys at Clary's later." Harry looked at me with worry. I don't even want to tell him I mucked things up with Clary.
"We aren't going to Clary's. Liam and I actually get what's happening in math right now. And we didn't have Bio homework."
"Oh. Okay well see you guys tomorrow then." I headed with them outside.
"Niall tell us what's up. We all know it has to do with Clary. Speaking of her where did she go? When we all woke up she was gone." Then her mom's car pulled into her driveway and Clary hopped out holding a package and her pant leg was rolled up.
"She just said that she had to go..." She didn't even look over here but Lilly and Ellie ran over there and she showed them something on her leg. Us boys were standing there looking confused and tried to see but none of us could. Then Ellie and Lilly came back but I watched as Clary disappeared into her house. Great, I am so not looking forward to this project. Everyone left and I went back inside and gathered up my stuff. It was a quarter to 4. I'll head over in five minutes. So I've got five minutes to start to act like nothing even happened. I've got this...I can do this.
2 more minutes...I can't do this...I'll cancel. I'll say I'm not feeling well. No because then she might come over and watch movies with me in bed. That's not going to happen...okay. I have to run errands for my mom! Yea...no she'll see through that. Crap I have no valid excuse to use.
I practically dragged myself over to her house. When I got there it was 4 right on the dot. It literally took me 10 minutes to walk over here. Mostly because I turned around a few times trying to think of something normal to say. I decided to not even bring it up.
I knocked. Her mom opened up the door. "Oh Niall! How have you been? Come in, Clarissa is in her studio." I nod and go to her studio. She had her package there with her and her pant leg was still rolled up. "Hey..."
"Oh Niall! Sorry I lost track of time. Mom let you in? Oh look at what Nicole sent me! A whole bunch of paint and colored pencils! Come in just don't stand there. We have a project to do!" I smiled at her. Glad to see that she wasn't still upset over this morning. She was sitting on the floor so I joined her.
"Okay so basically we have to tell why or how he impacted America? And give a brief background." She leaned over and looked at the sheet. Damn she smelled so good.
"Yea I think so. We just need to figure out what we want to include. And what we want to draw."
"Right well shall we get to it?" I just nodded at her. Which earned me a smile. Okay this isn't so bad.
Clary's POV
Niall was working on our speech while I was drawing. We decided on drawing Mickey Mouse, Snow White, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Monsters Inc., and Toy Story. I already finished Mickey Mouse and Snow White. I was about to start on my Simba, Timon, and Pumba drawing but my mom came in with food. Which caught both of our attention. She smiled at us then put the plate down on my piano bench.
"I figured you two would be hungry. Here I made some sandwiches for you." Niall and I both go for the same sandwich and our hand touch. I pull mine away really fast like his touch burned me.
"Thanks mom! Looks yummy!"
"I'll let you kids get back to working. But Clary...the drawings are beautiful." She left us and I grabbed a sandwich and continued to eat while I worked. Niall finished with our speech and just kind of sat there and watched me.
"Uh...you can color the finished ones if you want?"
"You're beautiful when you draw." I put down and look at him. I don't really know what to say back.
"Thanks I think..." I could feel my cheeks burning.
"Haz is very lucky." Well no he's really not.
"Oh we decided to be friends. So yea." He just smiled at me and nodded. I went back to drawing and he continued to watch me. I remember my dad doing that whenever my mom was painting. He would just watch her.
I finish drawing and smile. They looked really good. "Tomorrow do you want to come over after practice and we can color them in?"
We presented Wednesday. He scooted over and looked at the drawings. He was super close to me. I could smell his cologne or body spray. Whatever it was, it was intoxicating. Holy shit he smelled so good. "Yea that sounds fine. These are amazing..." His voice snapped me from my thoughts which were in no way PG. I just wanted to know if I would smell like him if we made out a bit. Well more than a bit...like a lot.
"Thanks Ni. What time is it?" Niall checked his phone and showed me. It was almost 9pm.
"I should probably get back home." I didn't want him to leave. Not yet anyways.
"I'll walk with you." I got up to go with him. The walk was quiet. But not uncomfortable. Just peaceful. Like we were both just happy to be with each other, no need to talk just be there. We got to his house.
"So tomorrow, coloring, right after practice. Then if we have time we can practice the speech." I was looking into his very blue eyes. He was smiling at me and nodded.
"It's a date." Then he kissed me on my cheek and left me standing there. I touched my cheek and practically ran back home. I texted Nicole but she didn't respond. He kissed me on my cheek. He must like me! I danced around my room. Then stopped. Shit next weekend was the Rams game. I was going with him. Just him. Was that going to be a legit date?
I woke up and felt someone's arms around me. Mmm I like this feeling. Wait a minute...whose arms are around me? My eyes instantly flew up and saw Niall. I of course, being the smooth person I am, freaked out and fell out of the bed. I landed on Liam. I heard him moan and wake up. "What the hell Clary?!"
