Styles on Tour

"Shit The Toasties!"

Em's POV:

I shifted my holdall further onto my shoulder so it didn't fall off as I punched in the code for the apartment building. The door buzzed and I pulled on the handle when I heard it unlock. With my dress bag in my hand I walked across the lobby to the lift. Once inside I pressed Niall's floor number and waited patiently for the lift to take me up. I bounced on my toes in excitement over seeing him again. Tonight Louis was hosting a New Year's Eve party at his house and Niall insisted that I came along. Then I was staying here with Niall for a few days before heading to uni to start my second semester. I took a detour on the way down here and dropped most of my stuff back at my flat in Cambridge so I was all set to go back there. 

The lift doors slid open and I walked down the hall to Niall's apartment door. I had only been here once, when we came back from Dublin, so I held my breath as I knocked and silently prayed I had the right door. When Niall had given me the code for the door downstairs yesterday I had forgotten to double check that I had remembered his apartment number correctly.

"One second!" I heard my favourite voice call and I immediately relaxed at the sound. I hated that I couldn't stop the smile spreading across my face, showcasing just how little control I had over my reactions when I was around Niall. 

I heard footsteps come running from the other side of the door and suddenly the wooden barrier between me and my boyfriend was pulled open, revealing Niall himself. His hair was wet and judging by the lack of t-shirt it was clear he had just gotten out the shower. I watched as his eyes widened and a massive grin spread across his handsome face. 

"Em?! I thought you were gonna be another hour at least!" He exclaimed. A laugh escaped his lips and he came forward, picking me up by my waist. I let my holdall drop to the floor but kept a hold on my dress as I wrapped my legs around his torso.

"I didn't hang around in Cambridge, just chucked my stuff and left. Was too excited to see you to wait any longer," I admitted with a shy smile. Niall's grin widened and he crashed his lips onto mine. I let my fingers play with the damp hair on the back of his neck as I kissed him back. It had only been just over a week since our getaway to Milan but I missed this feeling so much.

"God I missed you," Niall mumbled as he broke the kiss. 

Still holding me, he bent down to pick up my holdall before stepping into his apartment and kicking the door closed behind him. I pressed kisses to his cheeks and jaw as he carried me to the living room, throwing my bag into his bedroom as he passed it. I dropped my dress bag onto the end of the sofa before Niall set me down next to it. He immediately crawled over me and pressed a firm kiss to my lips. I giggled at his urgency but pulled him closer, not wanting any space in between us.

"I can't wait to finish uni and be able to be here all the time," I sighed happily after breaking the kiss. Niall didn't move from above me and I continued to run my fingers through his hair that was becoming more and more fluffy as it dried. Niall smirked and kissed my cheek.

"Are you inviting yourself to come and live with me?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow. I immediately felt my cheeks heat up and I hit his chest. Niall laughed and moved us so I was straddling his lap.

"Oh my god, no not at all! I don't know what I even meant, I didn't mean to push that though," I started rambling. "Not that I wouldn't want to live with you, I would. I'd love that more than anything but not if you don't want it. And not that I'm even thinking about living together yet." My mind was on overdrive as I tried to redeem myself. I was horrified that I had said that, I didn't want him to now have to awkwardly tell me we couldn't live together. However Niall shook his head with an amused smile on his face.
