For Worse, Or Better?

Chapter Eleven

Belles POV

"How could you never have told anyone that? How did you deal with that on your own?" He was still asking me questions but at least we had both calmed down. I was laying with my head on Nialls chest, listening to his heart beat, playing with his fingers.

He had been really mad at first but when he saw how upset I was he told me he was sorry and we talked about it for a bit. He was a lot more supportive than I thought and I knew now that I could trust Niall.

"I knew that I couldn't tell anyone without telling them the full story, I guess I was scared." We talked nearly all night, sharing stories and laughing. At about 4am I was listening to Niall talking, feeling his chest slowly moving up and down as he breathed as I was falling asleep. I felt so much better about telling Niall what happened.

                                                            -------------------------

"Morning Belle" my arm was being shaken gently to wake me up. "We're going shopping, are you coming?" 

"umm okay?" I said more as a question than an answer. I looked to see who spoke, I assumed it was Niall. I saw Will sat at the bottom of the bed smiling. I sat up quick and looked around for Niall.

"He's gone for a walk, he seemed really distant this morning, I don't know what was wrong with him." Will must have known that I was looking for Niall. I quickly jumped out of bed without saying anything and I threw on one of Nialls t-shirts. It was white and was really baggy on me but it smelt nice like him. Will was left sat on the bed and I ran from the house to find Niall.

I didn't want him to tell anyone what I told him, I forgot to ask him last night. I don't think he would but I wanted to make sure. I grabbed a pair of my sandles as I left the door and I walked along the beach trying to put them on as I walked. 

I didn't get far before I saw Niall walking towards me with his hands in his pockets and his head down. I ran up to him and he threw his arms around me when he saw me. "What are you doing out here?" He said genuinely happy to see me.

"I could ask you the same question!" I answered. "I was looking for you."

"I needed to go for a walk, I needed to think about.. things."

"Oh I'm so sorry for last night, I shouldn't have bombarded you with all of that, it wasn't fair, I'm so sorry Niall." I pulled away from the hug and looked into his eyes that looked as though he had been crying. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine, I was just thinking about you, and him.. And I was getting up the courage." He looked at the floor smirking slightly.

"For what?" I asked desperate to know.

"To ask you to be my girlfriend.." There was silence for a minute while I realised what he said. He was looking at me again, holding my hands, looking deep into my eyes. I couldn't help smiling as I nodded agreeing. He kissed me gently on the lips and ran his hand through my hair.

I couldn't believe that he actually wanted me, ME, to be his girlfriend. This boy was just perfect, he could have anyone he wanted but he chooses me.

"Another thing, I'm taking you out tonight" he added before kissing me again.

"Where are we going?" I wondered.

"I'm not telling you, it's a surprise." He laughed but that was fine, I like surprises.

Niall POV

We didn't do much today, Mari, Nichole, Harry and Will had gone shopping at a supermarket to get food as we were running out. We had only been here a few days but there were a lot of us and we ate a lot of food. They were gone about 3 hours as the supermarket wasn't very close. Eleanor, Danielle, Hannah and Belle went shopping at the mall for our date later, the girls were going to find Belle and amazing dress. I couldn't wait to go out with her again.
