Chapter 37: Stolen kiss.

"I'm so bored right now." Louis said, sighing as he plopped himself on the couch.

"You don't say." Harry said, seating himself beside Louis.

"Well, when you're bored, you should watch movies or something." Zayn suggested.

"Or go to sleep." He grinned.

"How much can you sleep?" Liam asked, his eyes wide.

Zayn shrugged.
"How much ever I want to."

Normally, Angelina would've found such unnecessary conversations entertaining.

But right now, she didn't feel anything.

She felt almost numb.

She had helped someone who needed help.

That was no big deal.

But that 'someone' was Niall.

And that was a big deal.

"I'm going to my room." She stated, making everyone look up in concern.

They knew she had been acting different. They wanted to ask. But they also knew, that bugging her with questions is not the right way.

So they didn't say anything, just let her go.

Niall, who was inside the kitchen, looking for some food, peeped outside, to see the others arguing about which movie to choose.

And so, grabbing the opportunity, he rushed upstairs.

To her room.

***

He knocked at her door gently.

"I don't want to talk, Cheryl." He heard her voice.

"It's not Cheryl. It's me, Niall." He said.

Silence.

He was greeted with silence which spoke a lot more louder than words ever could.

Did I say something wrong?

Should I say sorry?

But what did I do?

I couldn't have not revealed my identity.

But before his thoughts could go deeper or any further, he heard the sound of the door unlocking.

She opened the door with such a plain face, Niall almost jerked back.

But then he didn't.

"Hi." She said, trying not to let her smile show.

Even if he never did anything, and only stood there, his simple presence would always make her smile.

"Yeah, hey." He responded, nodding his head.

"Come in." She said, opening the door a little wider.

Niall smiled, but it did not reach his eyes.

It was almost as if... he wanted to get something off his chest.

"So?" She urged.

He was obviously here for a reason.

"So, what?" He said, furrowing his eyebrows.
