Reckless Soulmates [sequel to N.S.]

niall

I fixed the collar of my suit and wiped my hands on my pants again. I was so nervous and I still hadn't picked up Harry.

Was this actually happening? I think so...

I got in my car and drove straight to Harry's house. I didn't know what to expect at prom tonight. Honestly, anything could happen.

I pulled into Harry's driveway, my heart heavy and my stomach twisting.

Harry said I'd possibly meet his mum today. The thought of that happening scared me. Harry's mum was a very intimidating business woman. She was powerful. I'd look like a shrimp next to a whale.

Nonetheless, I rang the doorbell. There were multiple footsteps and a crash. I couldn't help but smile, knowing that Harry was probably the cause of that crash.

The door opened and I was greeted by a dazzling Harry. His long hair wasn't covered or pulled back with a headband. It was in fact loose and unruly. A marvellous look on him to be honest, but I felt so uncomfortable around him. Harry always looked good no matter what he does or changes in the way he presented himself. It's like God himself gifted the boy with infinite handsomeness.

"Niall,"

I snapped out of it when I heard his voice,

"You look absolutely incredible."

His hands rubbed up and down my shoulders and he brought his lips to mine.

"Now now, I still have to take pictures."

I pulled back abruptly and saw Harry's mom behind Harry's tall figure.

I waved and she smiled, holding her hand out.

"I'm Anne, it's such a pleasure to meet you. I'm never usually home, but I got a day off and I couldn't help but notice Harry's got a boyfriend."

"Mum, this is Niall." he said as I shook her hand, "he's mute, so uh..."

"I get it," she grinned, "let me get one picture and then you two go!"

We both stood on the front porch and she adjusted the camera. The things I would give up to have this be my mum taking the pictures.

She had her hand over the flash when Harry kissed me by suprise.

"Oh, well someone's cheeky," she grinned, "now get out of here boys!"

Harry kissed his mum's cheek before grabbing my hand and taking us to my car. He (for the first time ever) went on the passenger side and I got in on the driver's side.

"You gonna crash this car?" Harry teased me. I shook my head with a small smile and he laughed as I shut the door. He was so happy, it was exhilarating.

As I started the car, Harry began to talk again.

"I just can't believe she was there Niall..."

He was talking about his mum.

"She wasn't there for anything else, but she was here for this."

I held his hand and began to drive to school with my free hand. I knew he was happy about this.

As soon as we arrived at school, Harry had my hand and he was dragging me to where we entered.

"This is so exciting oh my god..." He muttered.

We entered the school gymnasium and I wasn't sure if I could even call it that anymore. The place looks absolutely gorgeous and I know prom committee put their all into it.

Harry's thumb ran over the back of my hand a couple times as we walked through all the people to get to a table.

"This is insane, isn't it?" He said over the loud music. I nodded and he pulled at my hand, dragging me to sit on his lap. We sat and watched the other couples dance, Harry leaving wet kisses on my neck.

"Do you wanna dance soon?" he whispered. I nodded and we continued to watch.

--

Harry and I eventually went dancing with the rest of the student body. We switched between dance partners continuously and it felt like no one really hated me for the first time ever. I guess it was just the prom effect.

A slow song began to play and my eyes widen. I can't dance to these songs.

Either way, he dragged me on the floor again.

"You know what song this is?" he asked me. I shook my head and pursed my lips together.

"It's Wait by M83. And I know you hate dancing, so just follow my lead, alright?"

I nodded and he put his hands on my shoulders. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he moved us along with the music.

"I'm really really gonna miss you when I go to America."

I nodded in agreement and he squeezed my shoulders.

"I don't know what's going to happen, but hopefully we won't split or anything."

I nodded mindlessly as the song continued on,

"Niall..."

I could feel the tears falling from my eyes. I didn't want Harry to leave.

His hand snuck up to my chest where the necklace rested.

"I'm always going to be here Niall, and I'm so sorry it had to come to this. We'll talk every day--"

I kissed him. I kissed him because I wanted him to shut up. I didn't want to just talk every day. I wanted to kiss him every day, hug him, I did not want Harry to leave.

I wanted him here forever.

But I know I can't keep a leash on him.

We swayed to the song as the tune picked up. God I didn't want this to end.

--

"Why did you pick me?"

I looked up at him and he was already looking down. We were in his bedroom, limbs tangled and Harry's hand caressing my hair.

"Why did you pick me? If you wanted, you could have Zayn or something. Why did you choose, of all people, me?"

I'm not going to choose someone that doesn't make me smile every second of the day. I scribble down.

He kissed me and smirked.

"I'm one hundred precent sure we can survive the summer."

I hope we can.
