-MADI'S POV-

"This chicken is amazing! How'd you do this?" The boys had practically inhaled their meal. "It's just an old recipe I threw together a few years back." It really was just that. I had some chicken breasts left over and decided I would give it a shot and, BAM, the best chicken Parmesan that could bless your taste buds.

"This is so good."

"So Good."

"Mmmmm."

"Told you she was perfect for you Niall." Louis comment made both of us blush. We weren't technically dating but I had a feeling it wouldn't be too long. *Don't rush into anything, you always gt hurt.* Niall scooted a bit closer to me. "Thanks for the dinner." He whispered. The room went quiet. All the boys were looking at Niall like hey had just seen a ghost.

"What?" I was so confused.

"He spoke." They all said at once. I started laughing uncontrollably. Which got stranged looks from the girls.

"SHE'S LAUGHING!" The whole room was confused. I guess neither me or Niall normally talk while eating.

The dishes were put in the sink and the table was wiped down after the meal and we were now deciding what movie we were going to watch. The choices was between a scary movie I had never heard about and Lion King.

"I WANT TO WATCH THE LION KING!" I screamed as loud as I could. That was my favorite movie ever. I got groans all around except for Liam of course.

"I AGREE!!" Me and Liam were bouncing around with each other in excitement.

"It's 2 to 6, we're watching Cabin In The Woods." Louis stated. Christie was studying the back of the case.

"IT HAS NUDITY. LET'S WATCH IT." That got a round of laughter. Christie acted ovr excited as we all agreed.

"But then we watch the Lion King." I stated. I got a jumble of nods and "whatever" 's from the group. We all got situated as Zayn put the disk in the player. Zayn and Liam sat on both of the recliners while Harry and Christie took the floor leaving the sofa to Morgan, Louis, Niall, and I. It was pretty packed but it was OK, I loved having Niall so close to me. I looked up and the glow from the television made his swirling blue eyes look even more radiant as he looked down at me playfully. "What?" He said.

"Your eyes." *Well that was really cute.* I thought sarcastically.

"What about them?"

"They're....amazing." I didn't know how to describe them. His eyes were like the soft light of the moon reflecting off a slightly rippled lake. They had a subtle beauty to them and I couldn't find the words to fit.

"And so are yours"

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP WE"RE TRYING TO WATCH A SCARY MOVIE!" Louis complained. We all huddled together, though it wasn't really scary. I still jumped at parts that were supposed to be scary just to feel Niall's arms around me protectively. He chuckled when Ieaped at one point. "You're a scardy cat!" He teased. "Maybe I'm not really scared!" I teased back. "I doubt it." I loved how we play fought all the time. What happened to me? Not a few hours ago I was trying to keep myself from falling for the blonde and now I was, quite literally, throwng myself into his arms.

The movie ended and it was time to watch the Lion King. I almost peed myself in excitement. I mean, watching your favorite Disney movie with the boy you were hopelessly falling for along with six of your best friends? That was another thing, the boys and I had grown fairly close and the girls had too. We all felt like a big family in a kind of messed up way.

We all sang along to the familiar songs, maybe Liam and I a tad louder, cried wheb Mufasa died, cheered when Simba returned and all that other stuff. The night had come to a close too quickly for my liking. I could have stayed like that forever. I almost wanted to ask Niall to stay the night but didn't know how weird that would be. Much to my surprise, he leaned down as everyone was getting their things together to leave and whispered "I don't want to leave, so parden my manners but would it be OK if I stayed over tonight?" I giggled at his words. "Sure you can."

Soon, the group had said goodnight and parted ways leaving me and Niall alone in the flat. "I'm tired, want to gett ready for bed?" I yawned.

"Yeah sure, but there's one thing.."

"What's that?"

"I didn't bring any extra clothes and I don't really want to sleep in my jeans... would you mind if I just wore boxers?" He was blushing. I probably was too. I didn't really think of that but the idea certainly didn't make me uncomfortable. "I don't mind as long as you don't mind the way I sleep."     "Umm..."

I normally slept in just panties and a long t-shirt to cover most of my body so when I walked out of the bathroom, Niall's eyes lit up at the sight of me. "You sleep like that?" He asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong."

"Nothing, absolutely nothing." He cheekily winked.

We both settled in my bed and Niall threw his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his mostly-bare body. I felt so warm, it was almost too much. I smiled as he snuggled his head into the crook of my neck. I turned around to I could look at him and placed one hand on his chest and one around his neck, playing with his dark locks in the back. Niall smiled and rested his forehead against mine.

"Madi, this is all I could ever ask for. I know it sounds cheeky, but it's the truth. I'm sorry for inviting myself but I couldn't leave you. I don't think I ever could."

"Shh," I shushed him. "it's ok. But someday, you'll have to go back to being Niall Horan from One Direction." I realized that sounded extremey dumb.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, when I'm with you, it doesn't seem like that matters. To me, you're not some big celebrity. You're just Niall." He smiled and kissed my nose, making me make a face.

"I'm glad you feel that way." We just layed there for a while; getting lost in each others eyes. I felt like i had the whole world in my arms, nothing else mattered. I didn't care what any fans had to say. We were just getting started though. There was much more to come.
