Chapter 10 {Hospital}

"Doctor will he be alright?" I ask as he exits Niall's hospital room.

"Yes, he will be perfectly fine. We just need to close up his stitches again, and everything will be fine." The doctor says.

"Oh my god, thank you." I say in relief.

"May I ask how this happened?" The doctor asks.

"Oh, um he ran into something." I lie.

"Uh huh. Well you can go and see him before we stitch him up again." The doctor says. I nod and enter the hospital room. Niall is laying on the hospital bed shirtless. He looks tired. I go and sit down by him.

"Hey." I say and smile at him.

"Hey." He says.

"How are you feeling?" I ask.

"Fine, just tired." He says.

"Oh." I say softly. I lingered my fingers towards his cheek. I slowly rubbed his forehead and traced my finger down his face. I leaned in closer in want of his lips, his warm breath, his awe in gaze. He lifted his head up a little and pulled my face down to connect with his lips. He kissed me passionately and bit my bottom lip but then let go, and let his head back. I leaned forward more so he wouldn't have to make the effort but he held a hand up for me to stop.

"Florence, stop." He says.

"What? Why?" I ask.

"When did you start to love me again?" He asked.

I think a moment back to when I had that unusual feeling with George. Where I felt like there was a piece missing, and when he proposed I found the piece. It was Niall.

"That night when George proposed." I say.

"Why do you think feelings started coming back?" He asks.

"Because... I realized it was you that I wanted proposing to me. Remember I told you that." I say.

"I do. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't because of the things I've done recently." He says blankly.

"What do you mean?"

Niall stares at the cieling with a blank look for a moment and then after a few moments says "I mean, I didn't want for you to fall in love with me because I've saved you, I want you to be in love with me because you want me in your life to keep you happy." He says

"Do I make you happy?" I ask.

"Yes, but in a weird way dear."

"I'll just accept it that way." I say while smiling.

"Good." Niall says "Because I don't feel like explaining it."

I laugh a little and lean over to kiss him on the cheek.

"I'm sorry for moving too fast." I say.

"It wasn't you. It was me." Niall says.

"But you knew I wanted that so you gave it to me, but you also stopped it. Which meant you weren't ready." I say.

"Well yeah, definitely not here." He says

"Yeah not the most ideal place." I joke. He laughs at that and kisses my nose.

"I love you."

"I love you too." I say and softly kiss him, and get up. Though a strong grip on my hand stops me.

"Wait, after I get my stitches back I need to tell you something, okay? So stay here. Don't leave." He pleads.

"I will never leave you." I say.

"Good." He says and lets go of my hand. I smile and exit his hospital room.
