Chapter 51: Movie Time?

"Why doesn't she just cut her hair off?" Niall exclaimed loudly, pointing to the screen with a frown on his face as he lounged on the bed beside Angelina.

"Stop ruining the movie, oh my godddd," Angelina drawled, playfully punching him in the arm, but she couldn't help the smile that threatened to cover her face.

After Niall had entered her room with the proposal of watching a movie, they searched up tons of movies, started watching each one, but either Niall or Angelina always had negative comments to make about it. So now, after watching around 5 minutes each of four movies so far, they were watching Tangled.

They were 24 minutes in, so that was good.

"Mother Gothel can go fu—"

"Niall!" Angelina interrupted, tears running down her face from how hard she was laughing. Tangled was a wonderful movie, and she wouldn't be laughing at inappropriate times if it wasn't for the man comfortably lounging beside her.

He turned to look at her, a soft smile spreading on his face as he quietly watched her laugh.

"Fine, I'll be good, promise," he said, offering her a charming smile, which made her roll her eyes fondly, but she only snuggled into him further, his arm going around her shoulders to pull her even closer.

Angelina bit her lip. This was all so...coupley and domestic. The ease with which he slid his arm across her shoulders and the way she didn't even think twice before putting her own arms around his waist made her take a sharp breath.

Whatever. She could worry about that later.

Minutes passed in comfortable silence before she felt his chest rumble as he spoke above her.
"I was serious when I said that Mother Gothel can go fuck hersel—"

Angelina almost whined, laughing as she hit him on the chest jokingly, and he only pulled her back to him, daring to drop a light kiss to her temple.

She smiled against his chest, biting her lip to keep the grin in, trying to focus on the movie again.

Mornings for Niall consisted of violently shutting off his alarm till he almost fell off the bed, and then once he was finally awake, climbing down the stairs for some breakfast. Pretty simple.

Today though, today, he had a mop of hair in his face, making him frown. He blinked multiple times, trying to focus, and that's when it hit him.

The movie. Laughing. Falling asleep beside Angelina. Angelina.

And it was as if all of a sudden, he was completely awake, enough to register his own arms around her waist as she breathed evenly, her back facing him.

Niall weighed his options. He could either just untangle himself from her and go back to his own room, or he could sleep for a little while longer, just being happy in the presence of the woman he loved.

He stayed.

Angelina felt like the blanket was particularly warm today. Which is good, because she gets cold easily. She grabbed it more tightly, her palms resting on the blanket, when she realised that it wasn't actually a blanket.

She opened her eyes widely in an instant, only to see a pair of arms around her body, holding her close; and if she tried, she could feel his pulse as he slept peacefully.

Um.

Oh my god.

Biting her lip, something she found herself doing way too much around Niall, she gently turned around, an automatic smile breaking out on her face at the sight in front of her.

Niall was asleep, a tiny frown on his face, his lips downturned, and his arms tightening around her, making her suppress a giggle.

She took this free pass to just look at him, and she barely even realised it when her own palm landed in Niall's hair, running it through his soft, brown hair.

He pulled her closer, practically hugging her, and she felt him smile against her neck, making her smile in return.

Everything was so much easier when it was just them and no feelings. Angelina decided that she would worry about the entire situation later. For now, she's going to let herself have this.
