Chapter 48
The paparazzi bombard the car as Niall and I get out. Niall rushes toward me and snakes his arms around my back, leading us into the restaurant. The flashing lights and yelling give me a headache until we enter the dimmed light, quiet place. It's clean cut and quite fancy, with the table dressed in crisp white linens and an array of roses for each center piece. Niall looks at me as I grin at the tables, knowing how much I love roses.
"Hi, reservation for Louis Tomlinson..." Niall says to the hostess.
"Yes, right this way sir." She says as she leads to a table that seats nine but only has three sitting.
"There you are..." The hostess shows us our table then returns to her post. I look to see Harry, Louis, and Eleanor sitting at the table. El stands up and we hug each other tightly. I've missed her so much.
"Y/n, how are you?" El asks me, flicking her wavy brown hair off her shoulder and sitting back down next to Louis.
"I'm great. School's good, Niall is behaving..." I say, El and I both giggling at the last part. Niall pulls out my chair across from Louis and he sits across from El, while Harry sits on the end.
"That's good. I've only been here for a day and Louis has already gotten himself in trouble." She laughs. We both look at Louis, head down and shoulders hunched. We continue talking and catching up as Harry, Niall, and Louis talk about the last football match against Spain.
"Hey, don't start the party without us." a familiar masculine voice says. I turn to see Liam and Danielle standing behind Niall and I, smiling with their fingers entwined together. There were three red roses in Liam's hand and one in Danielle's.
"Here you are beauties." Liam grins as he hands El and I one rose each. I smell its heavenly scent and smile up at Liam.
"Thanks Liam." I flash him a toothy smile and Liam sits next to me with Danielle on the other side of him. Niall then wraps his arm around my waist and puts his other hand on my leg. His grip on me didn't feel strong, but protective. I look at Niall and he gives me a stern look, like there's nothing I can do or say that he would let go. He's still a little sensitive to the fact that his best mate told me he loved me. I mean, Liam said it would take some time to get over me but he loves Danielle and they are perfect for each other. I look around at our table and see my best friends and my boyfriend. I still don't know why this happened to me, I feel so blessed that I found the perfect guy for me, and he just happened to be in a world famous band with the most amazing guys.
"Hey look! Zayn and Perrie are here." Louis announces. I turn to see Zayn with the one and only Perrie. I'm bit if a little mix fan so I was quite excited. I stand up from my chair and hug Zayn since I haven't seen him in awhile. We let go and I'm face to face with Perrie. Her shoulder length blonde curls with a touch of purple are tossed behind her shoulders and then steps up to hug me. I hug her back and am greeted by a warm smile.
"Hi, it was so nice to finally meet you." She says.
"It's great to meet you too. Zayn talks about you all the time." I say as we take our seats. Niall resumes to his former position and keeps talking to Harry.
"I hope that they're good things." Perrie giggles, lightly elbowing Zayn's side.
"Yes, only good things." I smile. We all order our drinks and food and get into a table conversation about of course, football. Louis has a game soon so of course the guys won't stop blabbing about it. A couple hours past and our dinner was great. I'm glad I finally met Perrie.
Niall and I say our goodbyes as we leave the restaurant and get into the car. Niall tangles his fingers in mine and drives back to our apartment. We step out into the cold air as we race to the door. Niall won of course cause he knocked me out if the way when we got to the stairs and I was laughing so hard at his determination. I enter our warm abode and head straight for the shower. I hop in, letting the hot water melt my day away. I get out and change into a pair of Niall's boxers and a tank top. I walk out of the bathroom and into the living room to see Niall in just a pair of basketball shorts, watching TV. Even though he doesn't have abs, I don't really care, he's still hot. He catches sight of me and smiles.
"Man, you need to stop wearing my boxers. It turns me on too much." He says. I smile at him and walk over, and sit on his lap. I turn to face him and he puts both his hands on my legs. His touch gives me a chill down my spine.
"Well isn't that the point if me wearing them? That and they are quite comfortable." I giggle. He laughs and kisses my neck.
"I guess so. But still, you're so gorgeous." He says into my neck. He moves his lips from my neck to my jawline, brushing his lips across it. I couldn't take it anymore. I caress his face with my hands and crash my lips into his. He returns it with a deep and passionate comeback. He lays me down on the couch, kissing the corner of my mouth to my collarbone. He grips my waist with his hands meets my lips again, so soft and gentle yet full of want. I comb my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to me. He deepens the kiss, his gentleness gone as passion takes its place. We let go from each other, out of breath. Niall lays his head on my chest as I continue to run my fingers through his now messed up hair. I love these moments, with just us.
"Hey y/n?" Niall asks.
"Yeah Niall?" I respond, smiling from the sound of his voice.
"When are we gonna get married?" He asks.
Ummm....what?
"Why do you ask that? I mean, I still have two more years until in eighteen and I need to at least have two years of college done." I say, kind of knowing where this conversation is heading.
"Well yeah, I realize that. But I just don't know how much longer I can control myself...."
And there it is...
"I mean, I know I can but I just love you so much and I-"
"I know what you mean Niall. Do you not think I've been wanting it too? Trust me, if it wasn't because of our age, we would be married already..." I say, feeling him smirk. I love Niall, but not enough to break my promise.
