This City [n.h]

12. put a little love on me

Isobel's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning with my private parts very sore as well as the rest of my body. I looked over to see Niall still in a deep sleep and I smiled at the sight of him in a peaceful state. i yawned, sitting myself up and stretching out my limbs. I stretched out my back, making my bones crack and looked over at Niall to see if it woken him up.

Thank god, it didn't. I got up, grabbing his shirt from the floor and put it on to cover myself up. His shirt ended right above my knee. 

I go the bathroom and freshen myself up a bit, then walking back out to the kitchen. I yawn again and start brewing some coffee for Niall and I. 

I open up the fridge and bend down a bit to see what to make for breakfast. I feel a pair of hands grab my hips, pulling me back into a familiar chest. I let out a content sigh and get comfortable in his arms. 

"Good morning, beautiful." Niall rasps out in my ear. 

"Good morning, handsome." I replied, blushing a bit. 

"You look so good in my shirt, I might have to take you back to bed." He says, kissing the spot below my ear. I giggle, prying his hands off of me and grabbing the egg cartoon from the fridge. 

I hear him groan after I basically rejected his suggestion of taking me back to bed. I rolled my eyes and started to make cook up some breakfast for us. 

After breakfast, Niall and I decided to go for a stroll in the park. Pretty cliche, I know but it was his idea. I wanted to stay in and watch a movie, but he had insisted on getting 'fresh air and getting some exercise.' Then I told him that he better buy me some ice cream because I was carving cotton candy ice cream.

We are currently sitting at a park bench with me happily licking my cotton candy ice cream while he is watching with amusement. I smiled at him and continued to lick away at my ice cream. You would think I'm just his little sister with me eating my ice cream and him just watching me. 

"Did you want some?" I offered, holding the ice cream up to his face. 

"I'm alright, thanks though." He replies back.

I shrugged and continued licking away. 

"You've become a very important person in my life, Isobel.." He says suddenly, looking out in front of us at the view of the park. 

I stopped licking my ice cream and turned to look at him with a confused face. "You've become a very important person in my life as well. I appreciate everything you've done for me and I enjoy being with you." I replied back. 

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks, looking at me. 

I freeze at what he just asked me. His girlfriend? Girlfriend? Me? I-..Should I?

My phone starts to ring and I'm pulled out of my shocked state. I look at him with an apologetic look and mumble out a quick apology. I pull my phone out of my pocket, answering it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, Isobel! It's Oliver, I was just calling to let you know that I'm almost finished with my work on our project. How is it going with you?" 

"Oh, hey Oliver! That's great, I'm glad everything is going good on your side! I'm still working on mine, but I only got two more works to get done. Is there a hard deadline?" I asked him. 

"I was aiming for this project to be done within the next week and to be released by the end of next month. Although no rush, of course." He replies back.
