Chapter 34

February 18, 2019

Skylar's POV:

I feel myself being lightly shook as I come out of my sleep. I look over at the clock to see it's 7:15 AM. I slowly roll over to see Niall dressed and ready for the day.

"Why are you already dressed?" My voice comes out quiet from just waking up.

"Got filming for Late Late this morning and if you'd like, I want you to come," he says moving hair out of my face resting it behind my ear.

"You're telling me this now?" I chuckle but inside I'm panicking. You know that Spongebob scene where he's running around looking in all the files? That's my brain right now. What the hell am I going to wear?

"Skylar I can see you internally freaking out," a chuckle escapes his mouth. I am freaking out. I've never been to stuff like that with anyone else, only ever with Harry. But I go to take pictures because it's my job, that's different. I mean sure Harry has taken me places just to bring me but this is Niall. I've never done anything like this with him or seen him in his element of work.

"Skylar if you keep staring at me like that I'm gonna have to throw water on you," Niall says but Spongebob is really looking for something up in my brain.

"Skylar!" Niall shakes me and I'm back. Once I move I can see his shoulders settle back down, his body relaxing. A sigh of relief falls from his lips as he rests his hand on the side of my face.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to. I would never make you go if you didn't want to petal," he whispers even though we are the only ones here. I reach up and place my hand on his that rests on my face.

"I wanna go," I smile pushing past my anxieties. I'll be fine, Niall will be there, he makes me feel safe.

"Thank god because I already got you a dress," he says and my jaw drops. I pinch his side making him jump.

"Niall! What would you have done if I said no?" I say shaking my head.

"Then you'd have a new dress to wear whenever you want," he smiles and I wack him with a pillow.

"Ni, you didn't have to do that. I could have found something at home," I say feeling guilty that he bought me something.

"Sky it's okay, I wanted to do it. This is the first of many things I get to bring you to. I want you there with me. The dress is a gift and I figured if I got you one, then you wouldn't be so anxious trying to figure out what to wear," his thumb gently rubs the side of my face making me lean further into his hand.

Niall Horan you might just end up being the owner of my heart. The fact that he thought of me being anxious and wanted to help shows he pays attention and cares. My stomach is swarmed with butterflies.

"Thank you sunshine," I smile calling him the nickname I chose for him when I was in his house for the first time.

"Anything for my petal."

My petal? Take me out now. This man officially owns me. I desperately want him to be mine. Being with Niall is scary but also safe. I'm terrified of getting hurt considering the way my past relationships have gone but this beautiful man sat in front of me right now makes me happy. It's the happiest I've felt in the last year. He walked in and just pushed all the dark clouds away with his bright smile.
