Ch 9
Hannah’s POV
Damn, I wish I could text Ellie right now!
“Getting sleepy?” Niall got up from the bed and stretched.
“A little.” I couldn’t deny it, it was 3:55 am and the school schedule was still locked in my brain.
“Nooo, don’t fall asleep on me.” He whined and walked towards the bathroom.
“I’m trying.” I said, but then a yawn came over me. He closed the bathroom door behind him.
I heard the sound of the sink on.
Niall’s POV
I smiled to myself in the mirror, checking my teeth and then got out my toothbrush. I couldn’t fight sleep any longer either, so I changed into some basketball shorts and took off my shirt. I’d definitely be hitting the gym tomorrow. I brushed my teeth and heard the sound of music coming from outside of the door. I pushed my ear towards the door to get a better listen.
Hannah’s POV
He had brought his guitar with him. No surprise, I guess. I picked it up out of its case and started strumming the song Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae, one of my favorite songs. I hoped he wouldn’t get all touchy about me playing his guitar. But then he walked out. Shirtless and fresh faced.
“You play?” he asked.
Niall’s POV
“Yeah, I have for a while. But singing is more my thing.” She sighed and kept strumming quietly.
Wow. She’s perfect.
“Well, let’s hear it then.” I said, excited.
“Haha, I’ll try.” She smiled, and bit her lip. Then she started playing, I could see how she felt every time she played a chord. She looked happy, like really happy. She looked up occasionally as she played the intro, and she blushed every single time.
“Don’t be nervous.” I chuckled quietly. She smiled with her teeth and continued playing.
Hannah’s POV
Oh God, I’m about to make a fool of myself. I took a deep breath and started to sing. First, very quietly and then I got more comfortable. I closed my eyes and felt the music. As I finished the chorus, I heard him laugh. My heart sunk.
