you babysit the children next door ~ Niall

This was your first day babysitting some new kids. Thankfully they were very sweet and well behaved so your job wasn't being made too difficult, despite the fact there were three of them.

"Can we please go and play in the garden?" One of the children asks you sweetly.

"Yes, of course you can. Just don't make too much noise, okay? I don't want the neighbours to complain." You say, wanting to do everything right as you're new to this family.

"Oh, it's fine. Niall won't mind, he lives next door. He's really cool." The youngest tells you casually, and you don't think much of the name he mentions as you nod.

"Okay, good. I will call you in when dinner is ready. Please play nicely?" You request as the three of them march outside together. You set to work making dinner for the children, making sure to check on them playing, through the kitchen window every so often. Once dinner is prepared you place it in the oven. You head into the back garden to notify the children.

"Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes, kids!" You call out to them as they are still happily playing together. You head back in to start laying the table and prepare a jug of water when the doorbell rings. You're a little confused as to who may be calling around at this time but head to the door to open it.

"Oh, hello there. I was expecting Mr Johnson?" A cheery Irish accent greets you and it takes you a full 10 seconds to realise that it is Niall Horan stood on the doorstep. "I just live next door to yous. You must be the kids new nanny?" He questions you, and you nod shyly still not quite capable of forming words.

"Y... Yeah. Nice to meet you, Niall." You smile and he holds out his hand to you.

"Nice to meet you too..." He starts.

"Y/N." You tell him, shaking his hand, and he grins at you widely.

"Y/N." He repeats back to you. There is a few moments of silence, as Niall looks into your eyes still grinning.

"So... Did you need something?" You try to ask politely.

"Need something?" He asks a little puzzled.

"Yeah, erm... You knocked on our door." You remind him, giggling a little at his cute confused expression. You notice the moment the penny drops and giggle a little more.

"Oh, yeah. I, err, noticed that you have a flat tire on the car there." He says, nodding towards your car.

"Oh, shit." You groan, as you'll need it to get home later.

"It's alright. Don't worry about it. I can change it for you!" Niall offers cheerily.

"You would? Thank you so much." You smile and hand him your car keys. He takes them and sets to work changing your tire for you. You try not to watch him too obviously and just as he finishes and hands you your keys back you hear the timer in the kitchen signalling that dinner is ready.

"Wow. Something smells good!" Niall announces as he is stood on your doorstep again. 

"Would you like to join us? Least I can do as thanks." You offer, smiling.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to invite myself." He says, blushing.

"You didn't. I'm inviting you." You chuckle, so Niall nods eagerly and joins you for dinner, where you both spend all evening exchanging flirty looks across the table
