Chapter 36

    Alex’s POV

Paranormal Activity 4 was almost over and Niall excused himself to go to the bathroom. I didn’t think anything of it and sat there wide eyed willing him to get back faster. It was a particularly intense moment and I was cowering back a little bit.

Suddenly, I felt hands grab my upper arms and then someone screamed from behind me. I screamed my head off and jumped up, spinning around. Niall was laughing so hard. His face was red and he was trying to breathe.

“NIALL!” I shouted. The closest thing to me was the popcorn bowl so I picked it up and started hitting him with it. He laughed and took the bowl from me and pulled me close by my waist.

“Sorry, babe. I saw the opportunity and I just had to!” He laughed. I hadn’t even noticed Izzy and Lou laughing until that moment. I glared at them and they went upstairs, still laughing their butts off.

I pouted and ran up to my room. Niall followed me and closed the door behind himself. I pouted my lip at him as I sat down on the bed.

“I’m sorry, babe. That was just too tempting.” He laughed a bit more. I cracked a smile and started laughing. “Okay. I guess it was pretty funny….” I admitted. He smiled at me and laughed a bit more.

He walked over and leant down to my level, putting his hands on either side of me on the bed. He leaned forward and kissed me. I put my arms around his neck and kissed back. After a few moments we pulled away, smiling.

“C’mon.” he said after a second. He put his hand out so I took it and he helped me up. He hooked his phone up to the radio and started playing Wanted by Hunter Hays.

He led me to the middle of the room and pulled me close. His arms around my waist and my arms around his neck. We slow danced to a couple songs, just enjoying each other’s  company and the soft music.

Niall’s POV

I smiled as Alex rested her head on my chest. I pulled her closer and rested my chin on her head. I hummed the along with the song and felt her smile.

“You tired, love?” I asked when she yawned. She nodded and looked up at me. I smiled and picked her up bridal style and laid her on the bed. I laid beside her and cuddled her till I knew for sure she was asleep.

I carefully got up, grabbed my phone, and walked downstairs. I hadn’t talked to my mum in a long while and I wanted to talk to her about visiting with Alex. I dialed the number and waited for her to answer.

“Hello?” her voice rang through. I smiled and answered back. “Hi, mum! You alright?” I could practically hear the smile in her voice.

“I’m just fine! And you?” She asked. I told her about the last few weeks since we had talked and she commented here and there.

“So, when do I get to meet this fiancée of yours?” She finally asked. I chuckled and said, “Well, that’s one of the reasons I called. The lads and I start tour next month and I’d like for you lot to meet her before I leave in case she needs anything or whatever.”

She was ecstatic. We made plans for Alex and me to leave tomorrow night and stay for a week. I finished the call with mum and hung up before creeping back up stairs and going to bed.

Alex’s POV

I woke up the next morning at 9 and Niall was snoring softly next to me. I smiled at how cute he looked and cuddled back into his side. A little while later, his eyes fluttered open, and a sleepy smile turned his lips upward.

“Morning, beautiful.” He said softly. I smiled and pecked his lips. “Morning, handsome.” I replied with a giggle. He pulled me closer for a bit and then he got up.

“Let’s pack, love. We’ve got a flight to Mullingar we gotta catch by 5:30.” He said. I had a confused look on my face until he explained what was going on. Then I felt super nervous.

“What if they don’t like me, Ni?” I asked, my voice coming out a bit shakey. He shook his head and kneeled in front of me.

He looked me in the eyes and replied, “They will love you, babe. Just be yourself. You’ve no need to worry.” I sighed and nodded, kissing his cheek before getting up to pack as well.

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

“You guys coming out of here anytime soon?” Louis came in and asked. Then he noticed we were packing and looked confused like I had earlier.

“We’re going to Ireland for a week. I’ve taken care of everything.” Niall explained. Louis nodded and grinned smugly.

“Taking her to meet the family, eh? I guess I should probably do the same here soon.”  He responded before leaving. We laughed at him before finishing up.

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

 I had showered and put on some sweats and a t-shirt so I would be comfortable for the plane ride. We had loaded our bags into the taxi and were saying our goodbyes to the lads and Izzy.

“You make sure she is okay all the time got it? If she has even one teeny scratch when I get back I’m holding you lot responsible and I will NOT be happy. She has a baby to take care of in her and she is my best friend so she cannot get hurt. Do you all understand?” I said firmly to everyone.

“Don’t worry, Alex! I won’t let anything happen to Izzy or the baby. They are safe with us.” Louis promised. I nodded before giving them all hugs and letting Niall say his goodbyes. Niall got in the car and I was starting to, but I stood back up and pointed at them all, “not even a tiny scratch.” I warned again, causing Izzy to laugh. I got in and we headed off to the airport.

“She’s going to be fine. You’re going to be fine. Just breath…” Niall assured me. I took deep breathes and once we pulled into the airport, I took more.

We got out, grabbed our bags and went through the whole check everything and anything process and finally got on our plane.

“I’m going to die..” I muttered. He chuckled and pulled me close. “You’ll be fine. Just sleep.” He whispered. I nodded and cuddled up to him and fell asleep soon after.
