*REESE POV PRESENT DAY*

Niall had left his car at the Dublin airport when he had flown to LA to find me.

We arrived at the Dublin airport on a typical stormy, rainy night.

"Wow what time is it?" I ask stretching as we exited the terminal.

"11:15 sheesh" Niall says looking at his watch.

"NIALL CAN I PLEASE GET A PICTURE?!" a teenaged girl came running to him.

"Sure love" he says so casually.

He smiles and the girl thanks him then turns to me.

"Oh my god" she says starting at me, squinting her eyes.

Niall's expression turns to immediate defensive mode.

"Hey.." Is all I say to the girl.

"You're..... Reese.... Harrys ex aren't you?"

"Yeah"

"Wow. Now you're with Niall?"

"No"

"Ugh don't lie. I know you. You date all these famous guys" she snaps.

I stand still. Biting my lip.

"Watch out babe. She's trouble" she says to Niall.

"She's not actually" he says and my stomach drops.

No one has ever defended me like this before to a stranger.

"Do you have her number?" Niall asks.

"No" the girl shakes her head and stares at the floor.

"Then you don't know her well enough to judge her. All you know is the media's point of view and that is so messed up. Thanks for the support of my band, goodnight" he says taking my hand and pulls me through the airport.

I glance back at her and she was dumbfounded.

"Niall... That was.... Incredible..." I say.

"I know" he says strutting down the hall.

"Thank you"

"Of course babe. But you and I are really together by the way" he says raising his eye brows.

"I know.... I.... Was trying to protect you...." I say with guilt.

"So you returned the favor" he winks and I jump up and kiss his cheek.

Niall's Range Rover was at the airport valet and we jump in right away. Our luggage was already in the trunk.

"Wow. We are driving 4 hours to Mullingar starting around midnight...." I say.

"Oh. We don't have to. I can get us a hotel" he offers.

"Oh no no I wasn't complaining! I was just stating it" I laugh.

"Are you sure you're up for the trip" he asks putting his hand on my upper thigh.

"Yes! Drive!" I say and he zooms off.

Niall has done so much for me, the last thing I should ask for is for him to pay for a hotel.

"I need coffee. You want anything from Starbucks?" He asks turning into a shopping center.

"Sure. Ill have one too" I say.

"But it's late babe" he says rubbing my thigh. My stomach churns for him a little.

"I know. I wanna stay up with you" I proudly say.

He smiles and nods.

Niall orders two venti coffees just the way we like them. And a couple bags of crisps.

We got our things along with screaming workers trying to touch Niall while he hands them his debit card.

Niall and I have a laughing fit as soon as the window rolls up.

"Oh my god I can't believe people are actually like that!!" I laugh.

But I stop when my ribs ache.

"Well here we go" Niall merges on the highway.

"Phew" is all I say.

Niall and I talk for the majority of the ride. With the radio on low.

I haven't spoken to anyone like this in over a year.

No subjects of the film or mistake came up.

We just talked like best friends again.

I stared at Niall as his talked.

The way he cares and has gone totally out of his way for me has made me fall for him.

Even the 2 hours we've driven made me fall even harder.

I knew he liked me from the start. But I've never thought I'd see him this way.

He understands me.

He... Loves me.

"Whatcha thinking about love?"

"You" I say.

He leans over and kisses me quickly.

"I love you Reese" he says.

"I... Love you Niall"

I can see the flush in his cheeks even though it's dark.

We finally reach Niall's parents house.

Maura runs out greeting us. She squeezes the lights out of Niall and runs to hug me.

"Oh Reese. I'm so glad you're here." She says getting teary.

"Thank you. I am too" I say hugging her again.

"Let's go inside I'm exhausted" Niall says putting an arm around me.

"Be quiet now. Bobby is asleep!" She says before entering the cute home.

"Niall your rooms clean and towels are on the dresser" she says going to her bedroom which was downstairs.

"Thanks mum. Love ya" he kisses her cheek and she's off.

"You need help baby?" He asks as we start up the stairs.

"I got it thank you".

I'm out of breath by the time we get to his room.

It's a large room with a large bed with a white throw and lots of pillows.

"Here let me grab you something to crash in" he goes to grab a tshirt from his suit case.

The "crazy Mofo" shirt.

I pull my sweatshirt off and my leggings.

I put it on. It hangs down to my tiny mid thighs.

He throws his shirt and joggers off and hops in bed.

I follow and he turns the light off with a remote.

Niall immediately wraps his arms around me.

"I love you so much. I'll never let you go. No matter what. Despite this world. I'll never leave your side" he says softly in my ear.

He kisses my neck behind my ear tenderly.

My eyes drift closed to sleep as he hums softly.
