Better Than Words

We all sit in the kitchen and talk while Niall makes us dinner. Harry teases him and Niall just laughs. I watch Niall concentrate on his cooking and studying the recipe. I am enthralled watching him. Somehow he seems even sexier when he’s cooking. He must sense me staring at him and he looks up at me. I think the lustful look in my eyes must shock him a bit. He returns my gaze with a lustful look of his own for a moment then returns to cooking. I excuse myself to the other room for a moment to try to cool off.
I return to the kitchen some what composed in time to help Niall serve dinner.
While we eat I can’t help but notice that Dee and Harry are holding hands under the table the entire time. Eating with one hand only. I laugh to myself, thinking that Niall would probably never do that, he loves food too much. I’m sure he’d need both his hands.
We all rave about how delicious the food is to Niall. He looks so happy and proud.
After dinner I’m helping Niall clean up and load the dishwasher. He looks up and says. ‘Where are H and Dee?”
I look around and reply. “I don’t know.” I follow Niall over to the large window that looks out to the backyard. There we see them. Sitting on the bench in the backyard, making out.
We both laugh, look at each other and at the same time say. “We should have known.”
Dee and Harry can’t seem to get enough of each other and often disappear. As we walk back to the kitchen to finish cleaning up, Niall says. “You know I tease them all the time, but I’m really happy for them. They have something very special.”
I look up at Niall and smile. “I agree. They are obviously so in love. I pick on them about all the kissing too. They don’t seem to care though.”
Niall stops rinsing the dishes and looks at me. “You know, we tease them, but I think they have the right idea. If you want to kiss someone, you shouldn’t over think it, you should do it.”
We are looking at each other intensely, his eyes move from my lips to my eyes back down to my lips. I swallow hard. I feel like I’ve waited so long for this moment. I step closer to Niall to let him know I want this. Niall places his hand in my hair and gently pulls me closer. He looks into my eyes so intensely. He slowly leans in and places a sweet gentle kiss on my lips. I feel a spark I’ve never felt before. Our eyes connect again before Niall moves back in to kiss me. This time we share many passionate kisses. We pull back and gaze into each others eyes. Then we hear the back door open.
Niall leans in and whispers in my ear. “That was amazing.” He then kisses me on the forehead, before returning to the dishes just as Dee and Harry enter the room. I have never felt this way before. My heart is so full. Our first kiss, was so much more than I imagined it would be.
Harry jokes. “You guys still haven’t finishes the dishes?” Niall and I look at each other and share a secret smile.
Dee offers to make tea for everyone while I cut the cake she’s brought for dessert. As I walk past Niall to retrieve a knife, he takes my hand and squeezes it, I look up at him and he winks. I smile at him then turn back to cut the cake. Dee is looking at me. The smile on her face leads me to believe she just witnessed that.
We all sit and enjoy our dessert and tea. I can tell Dee is rushing a bit. I’m just not sure if she’s doing it for my benefit, or she just wants to go home to be alone with Harry.
