Breathing

Chapter 5

I walked back to the bathroom. Niall was cleaning around the toilet. Lo was no where in sight.

"Hey um..is she ok" I questioned. Not really sure what to say since he just witnessed Harry and I going at it right there in the hallway.

"Yea I put her in bed. You should probably change her clothes. I didn't want to go that far..you..know..with her being...drunk and what not" he trailed off.

"Yea I'll take care of her. " I smiled. He was so sweet he was the opposite of Harry. Very carful and respectful. Harry just did whatever he damn well pleased. But that's almost what pulled me to him. He was so forceful and demanding. It was sexy and dangerous.

Niall smiled and walked out of the bathroom to throw away the mound of paper towels he used to clean up everything that missed the toilet.

" I guess I'll go" he stated rubbing the back of his head.

"Thank you for taking care of her again...really it was very nice of you" I smiled.

"It's all good. I just hope she doesn't feel to bad in the morning" he laughed.

"Oh she will trust me" I laughed too.

"Ok well I guess I will see you later Charlie. Can you tell her to call me tomorrow?" He seemed nervous.

"Yea I'll let her know" I gave him an encouraging smile.

He stepped out of the front door but turned back.

"Oh, Charlie?" He called

"Yea"

"Be carful with Harry, he comes off a little ...how can I put this ..."

"Overwhelming?" I cut in.

"To say the least" Niall laughed "he really is a good guy if you can get past his caveman ways when it comes to girls" he laughed at his friends expense.

"I'll be careful. Thank you Niall goodnight" I nodded and smiled as I closed the door.

I locked the door before heading back to Lo's room. I got her out of her dress and tucked her in. I set a large bottle of water next to her bed. She would be needing it hear in a few hours.

I washed my face in the bathroom. The conversation with Niall playing over in my head. I walked to my room and took off my jeans. I climbed into bed laying on my back thinking about the days events.

If the next year was going to be anything like this week. It would not be going as smoothly as I thought. I turned on my side staring out my window. As I started to drift off images of the English trouble maker flooded my mind.

The next morning I woke up around 11. My body refused to stay asleep after the long crazy night. I got up brushing my teeth and using the bathroom before walking to the kitchen. As I passed the living room I heard voices...

"My head hurts babe" Lo's familiar voice whined.

I walked into the door way of the living room to see her and Niall laying on the couch. She had sunglasses on and his eyes were closed as he hummed a song. Kissing the top of her head.

"Lo you are so dramatic" I laughed pulling both of there attention to me.

"Shut up Char. It does!" She whined

"Ok Ray Charles." I laughed again.

"Go put pants on I don't want to look at your pale legs anymore!!!" She yelled at me.

I had forgot I only slept in my shirt. I was about to turn an walk away when two large arms wrapped around me from behind. I gasped at the sudden contact.
