Part 5

Sophia Part 5

I woke up, to find 2 unread text messages- and I remembered I fell asleep whilst reading them. I opened the ne from Louis: ‘Are you still coming? Hope you are xx’ I replied with ‘course dude- wouldn’t miss it for the world xx’. I glanced at the last text- it was from an unsaved number. Opening it I read ‘Hey, its Niall- remember from the shop? Yes, I got your number off Freddie. Are you going to Louis’ Party? X’. I smiled at the effort of him to get my number and sent ‘Yes. Catch up later. See ya! X’

I sighed and checked the time- 10 am on a Tuesday. Excited as hell I decide to take a shower, but a sudden change of heard made me opt for a bath instead. I stayed in there until the water went cold. I towel dried my hair appreciating it’s waviness that complemented my long, blonde hair. It was the same hair as my Nan’s.  I dried the rest of my body with my hair drier appreciating the warmth it radiated.  I looked up at the clock and saw the clock lean towards 2. The party started at eight so I decided to get something to eat. I trudged downstairs in my hoodie and leggings. I turned to the kitchen to find some porridge. I microwaved some and went to watch TV- Dad was at work, D was at school. I texted Dad saying I’d pick D up. I grabbed my porridge and started eating slowly thinking about Niall’s text. He seemed so interesting. I heard a THUD outside. I looked out the window to see Edward sheepishly grinning at me. Edward was with a blonde guy, whom looked up and I saw Bluey Green eyes. I smiled at the recognition of Niall. I walked out to greet them.

‘Hey Niall! What’s up?’

‘Nothing, just moving in- how are you dear?’

‘Bored, and trying to eat porridge.’ I smiled as I saw him grimace when I said the word porridge.

‘Well, wanna come in. There’s plenty of room.’

‘Yeah sure. Lemme just lock the door.’

I closed the door and walked into Niall’s House- amazed at the beauty of the colours. They were almost identical to his eye colours- blues, greens, and purples. It reminded me of one of those homes in the B&Q adverts.

‘Nice house- it so... beauty-filled’

He smiled and thanked me. I went and hugged him and told him it was my pleasure

‘AWWW, someone’s getting it on’

I blushed at the fact that Edward was there and the fact he was my Ex- but partly because it did seem kind of Lovey-Dovey. I looked at Niall and saw him blush a rosy colour.

‘OI, she has a Boyfriend yanno!’ Edward Exclaimed.

Niall blushed a deeper red and I told him not to worry and that I had no feelings in that way. He smiled and squeezed my hand which I was surprised to see him holding.

‘Anyway imma leave you love birds alone to get some tea.’ He chuckled to himself.

‘Loser.’ Niall sighed. I nodded in agreement- Edward was too clingy and protective- partially the reason why I left him.

‘You do know...right...’

‘YEAH obviously. I just broke up with my Ex so I am still sore.’

 ‘Oh...’ I said- it kind of made things seem awkward.

I looked at the massive clock on the wall to see it was already 3pm. I excused my self and kissed Niall’s Cheek.

‘Want me to pick you up later- we can go to Louis’ party together. If you want that is.’

I explained that Zayn would chauffeur me, but thanked him for offering.

‘S’later then’ I said.

I ran to my house and got changed. I slipped into my car and switched on the heater, appreciating the warmth. I arrived at D’s School at 3:27pm and made my way to her class.

‘Delilah, Sophia’s here to pick you up’

She raced toward my direction and Bear hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back.

‘How was your day D?’

‘Fine, how about you?’

‘BOOORING, without you,’ I told her as I walked over to my car. She jumped in the passenger seat and I told her I would take her for a treat. I drove her to the shops and bought her a lollypop. She licked appreciatively, beaming at me. We drove home to find Dad at home, cooking. I ran upstairs to take my pill and trudged downstairs. I grabbed my phone and read my texts. There were two, one from lover boy and one from Niall.

I opened Zayn’s First, and I was surprised to read: ‘sorry babes can’t make tonight- got a dancing comp. I was a stand in for Marco. MY TIME TO SHINE xxx’ I replied ‘aww, good luck dear- go kill them with your moves!’

I opened Niall’s finding a hint of a smile on my face. ‘Heyy, nice seeing you earlier- sorry for Edward. He’s really annoying- I heard you once upon a time dated. :’) AWWWWWW! Xx’ I love how he progressed from one kiss to two. He seemed really cute. I replied: ‘Zayn’s not picking me up- he has a dance comp. Is it too late to accept your offer? Xx’

I ran upstairs when I saw it was 5:30pm. I had a shower, then carefully towel dried my sweet smelling hair and then looked in my cupboard looking for something to wear. I found a white lacy flower dress and some red high heels. I applied red lipstick and some eye shadow. I found a pearl necklace. I felt my phone vibrate. It was Niall. ‘Yeah sure- see you at 7:30pm? Xx’ I smiled and typed ‘7:30 it is’.

I looked at the time- 7pm. I took a pill and decided to look for a decent purse. I found a white clutch. I shoved my phone, keys, money, make up and pills. I whispered to myself- just in case. I took some vodka. I heard a knock at my door. I opened it to see a very handsome looking Niall. He was dressed in a polo shirt and military boots. His jacket was cream and made his eyes look so beautiful. I hugged him and inhaled. Mmmm, I smelt Armani Mania- my favourite aftershave.

‘Wanna get going?’ he asked

‘Yeah sure.’

We walked down the street and were deep in conversation- about his move, his history, my history. We suddenly saw Louis’ house. I looked at Niall and held his hand. I smiled up at his face, which softens into a smile- similar to mine. We walked to Louis’ house and knocked. He opened the door and smiled instantly when he saw us.

‘You look beautiful- and you’re not too bad yourself Sophia,’

Niall punched Louis’ arm and walked in leading me in. He looked at our down, we were still were holding hand. I snatched my hand from his and walked in. I took off my coat and chucked it next to the banister. I held onto my purse. I walked into the kitchen to find a glass. There were now shot glasses so I gave up and drank straight from the bottle. I walked into the living room to see about 20 people sitting on the carpet playing spin the bottle. I sat down in the circle next to Niall. I looked at him and he smiled.

‘Whoever the bottle lands on has to kiss. No gay/lesbian is allowed.’ Said Freddie.

He span the bottle. It landed on Becca. She blushed deeply and we all laughed at her.

We span the bottle and it landed on Jake. He got up eagerly- happy for his prize. They stood in the middle of the circle- and snogged. The boys were wolf whistling and the girls were giggling.

Freddie span the bottle, it landed on me. Niall squeezed my hand as Freddie span the bottle. It landed on Liam.

 I smiled at him. I felt butterflies in my stomach and stood up to kiss him. He smiled, and I knew it wouldn’t be bad. I kissed him softly on the lips. I withdrew and hugged him, and guiltily looked at Niall. He was looking away. I sat down next to him and started to drink the Vodka. Freddie span the bottle. It landed on Niall. I squeezed his arm- returning the favour. The bottle span forever before it landed on... Edward. Edward exclaimed in disgust so the span the bottle again. It landed on me. Again. Me. And. Niall. I swallowed my spit. Everyone was tense. They thought me and Niall were a couple. There was OOOOOOHHH’s being called in the room. I stood up and took Niall’s Hand. I saw him reluctant to stand up- but stood up all the same. I kissed him softly- in the same way as Liam but somehow it got deeper and deeper. It felt like hours before we stopped- both panting softly for air. I smiled at him. His hair was messed up in all directions. Everyone was just staring at us Shocked.

I sat back down- holding Niall’s Hand. I took another swig of Vodka. I started to slur my words. I hugged Niall, leaning into him for support. Everyone kept playing spin the bottle. I stood up to get some air. I took my purse and bumped into someone. I looked up to see a very unhappy Zayn...
