You Live in my Imagination - n.h.

IX.

Niall's pov.

Niall had been walking in the pouring rain for about thirty minutes until he found the house that he was looking for. He was completely drenched, but maybe that would make his reunion with his lost love even more romantic than he had planned.

He reached her doorstep at around ten pm. Hesitation creeped up on him as he reached to knock on the door. Was he really doing this? Yeah, yeah he was. He had actually been putting off doing it for a couple of days, but Harry had finally forced him to go out and do it.

He gave in and knocked on the door three times. Numerous 'what ifs' filled his mind. What if she didn't come? What if she was asleep? What if she didn't get the letter? What if this wasn't even her house?

The sound of the door opening pulled Niall from his thoughts. Standing before him was Katy. Her golden blonde hair was pulled into a messy bun. Her blue eyes were glossed over, red, and puffy. She looked absolutely stunning even though it appeared that she hadn't slept in a couple days.

"Did you get my letter?" Niall asked nervously after a couple of seconds.

"Oh, umm, yeah, come inside you're soaking wet!" Katy answered after recovering from the initial shock of seeing Niall.

Niall followed Katy inside her house. She ran into another room, leaving Niall standing in the doorway. She came back a minute later with what looked to be the fluffiest pink towel Niall had ever seen.

"Here," was all Katy said as she handed the towel to Niall.

"Thanks," Niall responded taking the towel.

"What are you doing here?"

"I, umm, I missed you, and I needed to see you again."

"Oh."

Well this was awkward.

"I've never felt the way I do about you with anyone else," Niall admitted.

Katy shifted uncomfortably in her stance. "Do you want to sit down?" she asked gesturing to a burnt sienna colored couch.

"Sure." They both walked over to the couch and sat down on opposite ends of it.

The two just sat facing each other without saying anything for god knows how long. The tension in the room was suffocating.

"I think I'm in love with you," Katy blurted.

Niall was taken aback by what had been said. He certainly had not expected Katy to declare her love first. But at least he didn't have to fear her not reciprocating his feelings.

"You don't have to say it back," she quickly added.

"I love you too," Niall declared.

"Really?" Katy asked with hopeful eyes.

"Yeah, that's actually what I had come here to tell you."

Katy and Niall had simultaneously leapt up from their spots and moved towards each other. Their faces synced up and they started making out on the couch. Things started to get heated, but then Niall's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw Harry's name on the caller ID. "What do you want Harry?" Niall said as he answered the phone.

"Did you do it yet?" Harry asked eagerly.

Niall smiled, "Yeah, I did."

"Really? How did it go? Did she say it back?" Harry sounded quite excited about Niall's love life.

"Listen mate, I'll tell you and the rest of the lads later okay?" Niall requested.

"Is she with you right now? Does that mean that she loves you back?" Harry begged.

"Have you fucked yet?" Niall heard Louis' voice say.

"Louis!" Harry scolded.

"Bye Harry," Niall said before ending the call.

Niall loved that Harry cared so much about him and his romantic affairs, but he was definitely a cockblock.

"What did Harry need?" Katy questioned. She had went back to her place at the opposite end of the couch.

"He just wanted to know if I'd confessed my love to you yet," Katy raised her eyebrows as Niall said this.

Katy started giggling cutely. "Was it his idea for you to tell me in person?"

"Yeah, he's really good at the romantic stuff and all that."

"You're good at it too," Katy made sure to add.

It was Niall's turn to giggle cutely. "I know," he managed to say in between giggles.

They leaned in to kiss again, and they then finished what they almost started earlier so that Niall could answer Louis' question.

...

"The rest of the lads came here to San Francisco with me," Niall said as he and Katy began getting dressed.

"Did they?" Katy asked absently as she pulled Niall's sweatshirt over her head.

"Yeah, and they really want to meet you again."

"Okay."
