Inclination: Harry Styles Fanfic

Chapter 23: Early Night

Charlene’s POV

“Niall I think I’m going to go to bed, have an early night you know” I say as I feel the night breeze blow against my skin as Niall and I sit outside my door step.

“But it’s only 9:30pm and you’ve been asleep all day, how can you be tired?” he chuckles, turning his face to smile at me.

“What?” I stand up completely shocked, how did he know I was asleep all day?

“Why did you say what?”

“You….you just, how did you know I was asleep all day, and you seemed to know I was crying yesterday too. This is weird, how would you know this?” I stutter, pointing my finger towards him.

“I just know, you know” he’s still sitting there, just shrugging his shoulders as he speaks.

“You knocked at my door on cue, like just as I got up” I start smiling, even though I’m confused, but sure I’m being paranoid about the whole situation.

“Good timing I guess” he smiles back, looking up at me from where he’s sat.

“Ha-ha yes I guess” I laugh feeling stupid for almost blaming him for knowing something that is a common thing to say to people.

“Where are you staying tonight?” I question.

“Erm I’m not sure, probably go home and watch TV until I fall asleep” He says sounding slightly sad.

“Come in.” I say.

“What?” Now he’s the confused one.

“Come in, we can have a sleep over tonight” I say excited about having a sleep over, the first one I’ve had in ages.

“Where will I sleep?” He smiles.

“In my bed”

“Your bed?”

“Yes, it’s huge. We’re friends Niall, nothing’s going to happen, I promise”

“Are you sure, what about Harry? What if he sees this?”

“How will he see this?” I become confused again, placing my hands on my hip.

“He might think differently, like misunderstand our sleepover”

“Harry will understand, we are friends Niall, please. I don’t want you going home worried about me, now come on” I plead.

“Fine” he gets up and pushes my front door open, since it was just on the latch.

“Ladies first” he holds the door open, gesturing for me to enter.

“Which side do you sleep on?” Niall asks when we enter my bedroom.

“I’m surprised you didn’t already know that one, since you seem to know a lot” I sarcastically speak. He just smiles back.

“I sleep on any side; you can choose what side you want to sleep on, Niall”

“Thanks” He says before he walks over to the bed he starts to take his shoes off to sit down.

“I’m just going in the bathroom to get changes, won’t be a minute.” I tell Niall as I walk in to get changed into my pyjamas.

“Ready!” I say as I step out of my bathroom and into my bedroom. Niall is sitting on the left side of the bed topless with the covers over him. I hope he isn’t naked or this would be a different kind of sleepover. Not the type I would have with my friend. The only type I would have with Harry.
