Niall's POV:
The next morning I found myself on stage
for a concert. Prepping for a show was always nerve raking,
no matter how many times you do it. Someone is brushing stage
makeup across your cheek as thousands of screams leak through
the walls of the dressing room. I think I always get the most
nervous out of all of the lads. I stood facing the mirrored
wall, microphone gripped in one hand and my ear buds dangling
on my shoulders. My skin glowed and my hair was styled, but
it didn’t get rid of the butterflies.
Tanned arms suddenly wrapped around me
and I smiled at my reflection. Ariel’s face appeared on
my shoulder, her smile bright and reassuring.
“You look hot.” She blurted and I laughed.
She pressed her lips to my neck, her nose brushing my warm
skin.
“Knock em dead.”
I smiled, turning around so I could slip my arms around
her.
She yelped as Liam hip checked her out
of the way so he could secure my ear buds.
Ariel’s
POV:
I watched as the
boys danced across the stage, and I think I fangirled almost
as much as the crowd did. One of the stage hands next to me
said into radio head set “Cue confetti.” I
laughed as glittery pieces of paper rained down on the stage
and crowd, making them go wild. The stage hand turned to look
at me.
“The show is almost over. If you want you can head back
to the dressing room and meet them back there.”
I nodded ands headed down the hall.
I was sprawled on the large sofa texting
when the door flung open, revealing a very sweaty Niall.
“Hey baby!” I said, jumping up to hug him.
He laughed, wrapping his arms around me. I pulled away to
look at him, and only then did I noticed a dull red line
running down his cheek. I touched it, my brow pulled
together.
He touched the spot and said, "Oh, a fan made it on
stage while we were performing and tried to kiss me and she
needed to trim her nails….badly.”
I felt a hot sense of anger rush through me. Someone had hurt
Niall. Whether it was an accident or not, I didn’t
care.
He laughed.
“Don’t look so mad. She got kicked
out.”
I sighed happily, taking him back into my arms and pressing
my lips to his. Louis walked in and did a double
take.
“EWwwwww.”
Zayn walked in with Liam thrown over his shoulder. I raised
an eyebrow, but I have learned to just live with their
weirdness.
When we got back to the hotel, I put an
ice pack over Niall’s scratch, my anger still
boiling.
“What did she look like?”
He laughed.
“I don’t even remember...”
I frowned, running my fingers over the dull red line that
threatened to distrust Niall’s beautiful face.
“You should thank Liam; he’s the one who pulled
her away.” Niall said, a smile playing on his lips.
Liam, who was in the kitchen called to me, "You’re
welcome!”
I laughed, running up to kiss Liam’s cheek.
