Kapitel 39 - If I told you once, What's Up
Han skrattade lätt, och jag hörde hur det ekade i trapphuset. Om någon hade dörren öppen nu, skulle de med all säkerhet höra oss. Han lät orden klinga ut lite, men inte för länge. Han lutade sig fram en aning, och fyllde ut det sista av tomrummet som fanns kvar mellan våra läppar. Det var en mjuk, försiktig kyss, och när han väl släppte mig såg han på mig med ett leende och glittrande ögon. Han skrattade.
„Your taxi is waiting.“
Jag nickade, och han strök mig över kinden. Jag kände mina läppar krökas i ett leende, och han gav mig en sista, lätt puss innan han föste ut mig genom dörren med ett skratt.
„Bye.“
Jag var för överväldigad för att svara, men lyckades vända mig om och få se en sista skymt av honom innan jag klev in i den svarta taxin. Jag log för mig själv, drog igen dörren efter mig, och vände mig mot föraren.
„Richmond, please.“
Liams POV
I got up the stairs to Nialls apartement with a smile on my face. I looked at my watch. 00.05. Maybe I could ask Niall if I could stay overnight. It was a pity no one had suggested it before, with Melanie here. But whatever. I thought back through the last five minutes, and couldn’t stop my smile grow even wider.
I opened the door, and had just closed the door behind me as all four of the other boys attacked me. One second later, I found myself laying on the floor, with four pairs of eager eyes on me. Louis took my face between his hands, and placed a wet kiss on my forehead. I ewwed. Gross. He smiled huge.
„OMG I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU MAN!!!“
I felt my cheeks blush a little. Had they seen us? But then I realized... I didn’t care at all. I smiled and laughed slightly.
„Me too.“
Zayn reached out for my hand to help me up. He patted my shoulder, smiled at me and whispered:
„Told you.“
Harry smiled widely.
„Good job, man.“
I felt a big warmth filling me up, step by step, first slowly but then faster and faster. This did really happen. In real. My thoughts wandered to the perfect smile of hers, the eyes and the way she blushed. The way her soft lips felt against mines. The way she...
„So... Are you guys an item now?“ I got interrupted in my thoughts by Niall asking. It took me a while to take the question in, but when I did, I found myself with a big, goofy smile on my face. I looked at the boys, who waited curiously for me to answer. I smiled. Actually, I didn’t know the exact answer on that question. But right now, I didn’t care. I laughed slightly and happily, and looked up on the boys. I took a deep breath.
„No, not at all. I don’t even know if she really wanna go further with it or just sees it as a fling.“ Even if I was in a really happy mood, I could feel it sink a bit at the thought.
Zayn groaned.
„What the hell Liam.“
I turned to face him, with my eyebrows furrowed.
„What?“
He rolled his eyes. Then he walked around me, put one arm on my back and one on my shoulder, and started to push me inside the apartement, towards Nialls living room sofa. There, he pushed me down and got a stool he put in front of me. He sat down, crossed his arms and looked at me with a disbelieving expression. Then he looked me straight in the eyes.
„Liam...“, he started. „This girl does like you. Very. Much. Just believe me, okay?“
I hadn’t realized I’d freeze where i sat, almost terrified, until Louis came from backwards, put his hands on my shoulders and started to give me massage.
„Gosh Zayn, you’re scaring him.“ Han låtsades torka en tår ur ögonvrån. „That poor boy.“
Harry went over to Zayn and squeezed his cheek.
„Always so overdramatic.“
I could see the corner of Zayn’s mouth twitch upwards in a smirk. Niall threw himself onto the sofa.
„But really, Zayn’s right. Trust us, Leeyumm.“
My mood had sunk a bit during our conversation, but as I looked at my friends, I couldn’t help but smile. This was one of the reasons i loved them so much. They always knew how to make me happy. I nodded.
„Right.“ Even if i wasn’t fully conviced yet, it couldn’t harm to at least try to believe a little bit. „But what shall I do?“
Zayn grinned.
„We gotta make up a plan.“
