Love At 12th Sight *Niall Horan Fanfiction*

Chapter 10

Niall’s P.O.V.

Her birthday is tomorrow. What am I going to do? I have to do something special. I know she hates her birthday but she has to remember something good about it at one point. I'm going to do just that. Tomorrow she will forget about everything bad that happened and just be happy. Today though, I'm taking her out on a date. It’s not just any date. It’s the date. We’re going to hang out all day long then I'm going to take her out on a romantic dinner. It’s already 12 and she’s not up yet. Guess I need to wake her up then. I open the door up quietly. She looks so cute when she’s sleeping. I could watch her sleep all day long just not today. We have to be out of this house by 1. I sit on the bed next to her. Leaning down slowly, I kiss her ever so slightly. I pull away but she sits up just enough to make her lips have contact with mine. I guess she's awake now. I get up and turn on the water in the bathroom for her shower. I walk back into the room as she goes to pick out her outfit.

“Wear something casual. We’re going out all day but it’s a surprise.”

She doesn’t say anything as she walks up to me. I have learned that she's not a morning person but she's really sweet in the morning. By that I mean she doesn’t say much in the morning but she's really clingy but in a good way. She wraps her arms around me and just hugs me.

“Come on Abbegail. We have to leave in 30 minutes.”

That gets to her as she quickly kisses me and jumps in the shower that I started for her. I hop down the stairs and jump on the couch in her empty living room. Her mom is never home so I can always be here. I can tell she's sad on the inside but just doesn’t want to talk about it. I’ll talk to Liam about it. He’ll help me. I keep thinking about how I'm going to talk to Liam about this topic not realizing that Abbegail is out of the shower and ready to go. She gets on my lap and lays her head on my chest. I guess she's still tired.

“You still tired?”

“Yes” she says into my chest.

“Come on we need to go.”

“Can I have a kiss first?” I love this side of her. I lean in to kiss her quickly but change my mind and make it last longer. She gets up and puts her shoes on. She's wearing a blue baggy tank top that reads ‘you’re just jealous bc I'm a gymnast!’ and a pair of dark jean shorts with a pair of black sandals. I grab her hand and we start to make our way out of her house and onto the street to get some Starbucks.

Abbegail’s P.O.V.

I feel so tired and sore. Somehow after all my competitions I’m sore and I barely can do anything. Niall is so sweet. I love the fact the he doesn’t run away in my sleepy state. People tell me that I'm really clingy at these times. He just stays as clingy with me.

“Why didn’t you tell me we’re going to get Starbucks?!?!?”

“Well I mean I wasn’t planning on it. Then I saw how tired you are or should I say were so I figured we could get a coffee for the way there.”

He is so sweet. I mean how could life get any better? We’re holding hands as we walk down the street to get my most favorite thing in the world: coffee. I wish I could just be right next to him all day long every single day. Now that I think about it, I think I'm in love with him. Love?!?!!?! Why did I just think that?

‘Because it’s true. Always have and always will be. You just don’t want to accept it yet. You will though.’

Why does my mind have to always be right? I wonder if he feels the same way. He probably doesn’t. He just likes me. Simple as that. No!!! I'm not going to think like that today. I have to stay positive for our first day in public together other than at my competitions for the Olympics. I really don’t care right now who finds out about us. They can say all the junk they want but it won’t affect me one bit. Niall’s used to it so he doesn’t care. I take this into account as I stop him just as we see the coffee shop in our peripheral vision. He looks at me with a confused look until I stand up on my tippy top toes.
