Chapter 15: Merry Christmas

                                    

                                          
I groaned and rolled to the other side, someone was kissing lightly my lips, "Come on love, we're going to the Eiffel Tower!" the Irish voice whispered, pecking my bruised neck. I let out an inhuman noise before peeling my eyes open. "You're beautiful when you sleep, you look so innocent..." he muttered, leaving a few kisses on my lips, "Not like last night!" Niall continued, smirking, before I groggily slapped his chest. I rubbed my eyes, wrapping the sheets around my naked body and sat up, stretching.
                          
"Why are you so insecure?" Niall asked, tugging onto the white sheets. I couldn't help it but my cheeks started heating up as I searched for the reason I can tell. "Everything." I blurted, passing a hand through my tangled hair, immediately regretting it as Niall quickly made his way to me, crouching in front of me, laying his hands on my knees. "Tell me exactly what makes you hide away." His blue eyes stared into mine, waiting for my answer. I gulped, before quietly saying, "My thighs, my hips, my stomach, and above all my scars." I hated them. They still reminded me of my nightmarish past. The physical proof of what had happened. The tears started blurring my eyesight.
                          
Niall blinked several times, before pushing me lightly back onto the bed, hovering above me. He brushed a few strands of hair off my face, "I love you. I love all of you. And I don't think you'll ever realise how perfect you are, especially to me. You're beautiful, in every fucking way Sasha. Believe me when I say this, but all these "imperfections" you see, I honestly don't because I am in love with you. I'm in love with every piece of you." He whispered, before kissing my lips softly. He couldn't be more amazing. I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I love you" I whispered into his ear before kissing him again. "I think What Makes You Beautiful was actually meant for you." he joked, making me giggle and kiss him again.
                          
He smiled as I rolled on top of him, lightly pecking his nose. Niall's hands slowly trailed up my sides before carefully unwrapping the sheet from my body. I could feel my cheeks redden as his eyes never left mine but then slowly, his gaze trailed downwards as I winced at what he could be thinking, about my fat, cellulite and the white scars scattered on my body. "Stop. I know what you're thinking. Stop it. You're perfect." He kissed my collarbone, his hands trailing softly the outlines of my body, sending shivers everywhere. 
                          

                          
  
                          
After our little...cuddle, we went to wish Lou a happy birthday, screaming, yelling and screeching as we threw pillows onto him, with the help of the other guys. Except Liam and Danielle, that were still sleeping. "Fuck you!" Louis groaned shoving his face into his girlfriend's hair, as she giggled, pecking his cheek. "Birthday AND christmas sex! What a lucky boy!" I cooed, stroking his hair as I sat on him, giggling. "Yeah says the one that has morning sex, shower sex, and bed sex." Lou joked, before I stuffed the pillow in his face, wishing he won't see the blush come to my cheeks. They all started laughing and it eventually ended in a massive pillow fight.
                          

                          
******* 
                          
The view was incredible. We were right on top of the Eiffel Tower peering at the minuscule-looking people downstairs. "This is amazing!" Eleanor squealed, throwing her arms around Louis, as he pecked her lips. Luckily, the boys weren't that known in France and had been just spotted once or twice by an English fan on holiday. Niall was behind me, his arms circling my body as we looked out to the Seine river. He nuzzled my neck, sighing in contempt. Liam and Danielle would be coming around soon, I thought to myself. I couldn't wait to meet Dani. Just as I thought about it, we heard Liam laughing and a small giggle coming from his girlfriend.
                          
Eleanor rushed into Dani's arms, hugging her tightly, as all the others did the same. I timidly approached her, smiling, "Hi! I'm finally meeting the girl that can make Liam stay on the freaking phone for hours on end!" I laughed, putting my hand out to shake. Danielle giggled, throwing an embarrassed glance at her boyfriend, "And I'm finally meeting the girl that Niall won't ever shut up about!" she joked before crushing me into a hug and pecking my cheeks, "Just like the french!" she added, winking.
