4- A Thousand Years

•Niall Horan •

Her lips tasted liked cherry. Or was it strawberry? It was either of those. But they were so soft. I was so caught up in the moment that I had to kiss her. Since I was so polite, I went ahead and asked her. Who does that? Me, apparently.

My hands held her waist and her hands were placed on my jaw. She poked her tongues my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I parted my lips, granting her access. Her hands slid up from my jaw and into my hair. Oh, it felt so good. I've wanted to kiss Erin since the first time I saw her. And now it's finally happening.

"Erin!" someone called, causing her to pull away from me. She turned towards her porch, a little girl with red curly hair stared back at her. A cousin, maybe. Erin's cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen.

"Sorry, Maisie." She said to the little girl. She turned to me. "I have to go, Niall, I'll see you at school tomorrow." She gave me a kiss on the cheek before running into her house.

I grinned towards her door for about five minutes, my fingers trailing over my lips. I walked backed to my house and immediately went up to my room. I dialed Ed onto my phone and waited for him to pick up.

"Sup."

I flopped back on my bed, smiling. "You know that girl, Erin, I was talking to you about?"

"Of course, she's all you ever talk about to me."

"Yeah, well, we kissed." It felt weird to say that, as I'd never thought I'd see the day.

"How'd you manage to do that? You barely even talk to her."

"I tried to copy her test answers, and then we met at Pizza Hut and then, yeah, we kissed." I said all of that with a smile.

"Well, congrats, mate. Do you like her?"

"Yeah, I do. I like her a lot."

•Erin Krei•

"Erin has a boyfriend!" Maisie shouted. I really hated that little brat. Since my aunt was out of town, my mom agreed to take her in for a couple of days and boy, was she annoying.

My mother raised an eyebrow at me. "Oh, really?"

"Yep. I saw her kissing a boy." Maisie squealed. I groaned and put my head in my hands. I wish she would just shut up.

"What boy? Is it that Harry boy? I like him." My father stated.

"No, it's not Harry. We're not together." I said.

"Then how come you guys always hang out in your bedroom so much?" My mom asked, the most innocent look on her face.

"Mom," My cheeks were flushed red. I gave her that, 'Don't embarrass me' look.

"Oh." She nodded in understanding. "Sorry, hun."

"Yeah, whatever."

"I really hope you're protected because I don't want my daughter to get knocked up at 17." My dad commented, causing my eyes to bulge.

Maisie let out a wild squeal and started laughing while I continuously hit my head against the table.

"Christian!" My mother exclaimed, hitting him lightly on his chest.

"What? I do not want that. It could ruin my reputation." He said firmly, causing me to roll my eyes.

"What reputation? All you do is sit around and ask your whores to do stuff for you." I grumbled.

"Erin Julia Krei, you do not speak to me that way! Go to your room right now!" Christian bellowed, pointing up the stairs.

"Fine, it's not like I was going to eat anyways." I mumbled and stood up from the table, stomping off to my room.

Very quietly, I heard Maisie's voice, "What does 'whore ' mean?"

I chuckled.

I was in my room for about an hour before Niall called me. I answered the phone with a smile. "Hello?"

"Hey, Erin, it's um... it's Niall."

"Yeah, I know that. Caller ID, ding dong." I smiled wider at him.

"Oh, yeah, right. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Did you miss me so much that you couldn't wait until tomorrow to call me?"

"Well, uh...I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house for, uh, dinner on Friday? My parents want to meet you."

I bit my lip. We had only kissed, but was it that much that he wanted me to meet his parents? "I don't know, Niall. We only just met. I think it's moving too fast, don't you think?"

He sighed. I could picture him running his hand through his hair. Oh, his hair. "Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, Erin."

"No, don't sweat it, Niall. It's cool. Just wait a little bit until you ask me again, alright?"

"How long should I wait?"

I smiled. "If you truly liked me, Niall, you'd wait a thousand years."

Without any other words I hung up the phone. I laid back on my bed and sighed. I hoped he would wait a thousand years for me. I truly did.

•Niall Horan•

"If you truly like me, Niall, you'd wait a thousand years."

She had hung up before I could respond. I wanted to be in a relationship with her, I did. But she wasn't ready yet. Like she said, if I truly did like her, I'd wait a thousand years.

And a thousand years, I must wait.

I kind of rushed the last part because I have a bed time and it's lame like 9:00 and I'm not tired so yeah. Well, I hope you enjoyed that chapter.

QOTC: How do you think that Erin and Niall's relationship will progress?
