That Summer (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 10

After I hang up on Niall, I don’t get another call for about an hour.

 “Hello?” I say, annoyed. “Hello Ms.Crawford? This is Holly at the front desk. I am calling to inform

you that you have a…package for you down at the front. Would you like it sent up to your room? Or

will you be coming down to receive it?” She asks in a way too peppy British accent. “I’ll come get it.”

I mumble before hanging up the phone.

 I walk over to the elevator and take it down to the lobby floor. When I get into the lobby, I walk over to

the desk to ask about my ‘package’. “Hi, someone called up to my room and said I have a package

down here? My name is Ava Crawford.” I say. “Ah, Ms.Crawford.” The woman says grinning, and

looking over at something behind me. I turn around to see what she is looking at.

 I’m definitely not prepared for what I see. I see a man in a delivery uniform holding a massive

bouquet of roses in a vase; it looked like it was about 50 roses. Greaaat. I know that Niall clearly

had these sent to me. I walk over to the delivery man and take the vase from him, struggling a bit.

“Thanks.” I say to him before turning to walk back to the elevator.

Basically everyone in the lobby turns and looks at me. I sigh and get into the elevator. As the

elevator is going up to my floor, I notice that there is an envelope amongst the many roses. I decide

to wait until I get back up to my room to open it though, as it would be impossible to grab it now.

When the elevator gets to my room, I rush over to the table to set the roses down because they’re

super heavy. After I set them down, I reach into the massive bouquet and grab the tiny envelope

from inside. I carefully open up and read it I’m sorry. –Niall x  is all it says.  I sigh deeply, I want so

badly to forgive him but he was really wrong for overacting over the Liam thing.

As if on cue, I get a call from Niall. “Hey.” I say blankly. “Hi, did you get the flowers I sent?” he asks,

calmly, but hope in his voice. “Um, yeah I did.” I say. “Well, do you like them?” he asks. “Yeah,

they’re nice.” I say. “Come on Ava, I really don’t want us to fight over this.” He says quietly.

 “Could I talk to Liam?” I ask, ignoring what he said. “Yeah, sure love.” He says sighing. “LIAM!!” he

yells. “AVA WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!”  I hear some rustling around before Liam picks up the

phone. “Hey love, what’s up?” he asks. I smile when I hear his voice. “Hey, could you come up to my

room? I want to talk to you.” I say. “Sure love I’ll be right up.” He says.

 I hang up the phone immediately incase Niall has something to say about me inviting Liam up.

Almost immediately after I hang up the phone, I hear the “Ding!” of the elevator. I get up and walk out

of the kitchen and over to the elevator to greet him. As soon as he sees me, a grin spreads across

his face. “Hey Liam.” I say, a small smile coming across my face. He’s wearing gray sweatpants

and a red v neck. He looks really cute.

 I walk over and hug him. “How are you?” I say into his ear. “Uhh, I’m ok.” He says, a little shocked

by my action.  “Um, that’s good. Sorry about how Niall reacted.” I say, pulling away. “It’s fine.” He

says. “I didn’t know you two were dating.” “I don’t even know what’s going on between us to be

honest.” I say. I notice his focus go to something behind me. “Nice flowers.” He says. “Oh, thanks.

They’re just Niall’s obnoxious way of saying sorry.” I say.

 “Oh…” he says, his face dropping. I grab both of his hands and look him in the eyes smiling, trying

to cheer him up. “You’re gorgeous.” He says quietly, barely audible. “What was that?” I ask,

pretending I didn’t hear. “Uhh, nothing. Hey love, you have something on your face.” He says

suddenly, looking at me closely. “Oh, really?” I ask. “Yeah, I’ll get it off.” He says, looking me straight

in the eyes as he leans in to brush something off of my cheek.

Then, he stares at my lips, before gently placing his lips on mine. He leaves them there for a couple

seconds before pulling away. When he pulls away I feel the kiss lingering on my lips. “Sorry. I just

wanted to see what it would be like.” He says quickly. “Uhh, I think you should go.” I say. “Yeah.” He

says, quickly turning around and walking back over to the elevator. “UGHHHH!” I yell, once the

elevator doors have shut. What even is this? All of this complicated stuff has happened to me in

what, like two days? This is getting way too complicated, too fast.

**A/N** thats it for tonight. (i think.) i'm kinda in the writing mood so look forward to more. thanks for reading!! woooooo (:
