Niall's POV

My eyes fluttered open but I quickly shut them again as the light coming in through the curtains threathened to blind me. I groaned and rolled over, my hand hitting something hard as I did so. I forced my eyes open and saw Liam smiling down at me.

The memories from the night before flooded into my mind and I smiled. 

"What are you smiling at?" Liam's husky morning voice reached my ears and I sighed. I could get use to waking up like this every day. 

"Nothin." I replied and snuggled closer into his side. He put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you." he murmered.

I leaned up and kissed the corner of his mouth lightly.

"I love you too." I said settling down into his arms again.

For the first time in a while I felt really happy. I didn't have to hide any more and the guy I love, loves me back. I had been through so much to finally be truly happy. 

I wanted to be with Liam forever. I know that sounds cheesy but I do. He's my everything, I never want to lose him. 

I wanted to marry him someday and have kids with him and grow old together. I know we are still young and our relationship is still just starting but he was my best friend and i hope he wants the same things as I do. Should I give him something to show him how much I love him and to show him our 

I decided not to tell Liam about what happened in my past. Not just yet any way. I didn't want him to worry about hurting me or anything. I would tell him eventually but right now I didn't want anything to change.

"Ni?" Liams voice close to my ear startled me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I replied quickly.

"I asked if you wanted breakfast?"

"Oh sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. Breakfast would be lovely." I said grinning at him. 

"Meet me in the kitchen soon then yeah." He said leaning down kissing me softly on the lips.

He unwrapped his arm from around me and I moved over slightly so he could get off the bed. I waited for him to walk out the door and then leaned over and grabbed my phone on the night stand. 

 I scrolled down my contact until I found Zayn. 

Niall - I need your help with something.

He surprised me bu replying quickly and I opened up his message.

Zayn - Sure what is it?

Niall - Tell you later. Meet me at the mall in an hour.

I chucked my phone on the bed and tossed the blankets off me. I grabbed one of Liams shirts from the floor and tugged it on and walked in the direction of the kitchen where the smell of bacon was coming from.

Liam's  back was facing me as I walked in and I pulled out a stool to sit at the bench and watch him.

He turned around and gave me a breath taking smile.
