After staying over at Niall's place for two nights, I was able to get my paycheck and pay my heating and water bills, along with the electricity bill that was now overdue.

"Alright, well I guess I'll be on my way then. And Niall? Thank you so much. I don't know what I would do if you hadn't helped me out,"

I thank Niall and he tells me it's no problem before I leave. I head back to my apartment. It's almost noon, and I have to go back into work at three.

Around 8 o'clock, the other waitress working tonight tells me I can go home, and I do, because of how tired i am. When I get back to my place, I see an envelope on my doorknob.

I take it inside, sit at the table, and open it.

Dear Aria,

I read to myself.

I just wanted to tell you how incredibly grateful I am that I met you. You're so beautiful and spending the past two nights with you were so fun. You make me smile and laugh more than anyone else can, and I love that. Thanks for being amazing,
Niall :)

I set down the letter, grinning ear to ear. Damn, that boy is something.

*Niall's POV*

"What's she like?"

Harry asks when I tell him about Aria late Monday night.

"She's beautiful- long, dark hair, blue eyes, soft lips. I-"

"Wait, you kissed her?"

He asks in surprise. I hesitate.

"Well, no. Not on the lips anyways. But her lips look soft..."

He chuckles.

"So... are we gonna get to meet her?"

He asks.

"Of course. Just- one more thing. She's had a really... really rough few years. I just want to show her what love is, Harry. She hasn't gotten the privilege to experience it. And I really, really like her,"

I explain.

"Wow. Alright, well I've gotta go, but I'm really glad you've found a girl like that Ni. Love you bud, I'll talk to you tomorrow,"

Harry tells me.

"Okay, love you too, goodnight Haz,"

I say goodbye back and hang up. I then realize that Aria texted me while I was on the phone.

From: Aria
Hey Niall :) thanks for the note, I really appreciate that you care that much. No ones ever done anything like that for me before. thank you.

I smile and respond.

To: Aria
