Letters to Andee

Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13

ESTHER'S POV

As soon as Harry got there I knew I had to leave. I was waiting for Niall to text me to tell me he was awake so we could hang out. It was for the best that I left, they have a lot to talk about and my being there might mess it up.

I try not to think about how Harry and Andee's conversation's going to go while I walk to Niall's house. I know he never texted me that he was awake but I'm fine with sitting in his house until he wakes up. He gave me a key to his house to water the plants and stuff while he's away so when I get there I walk right in.

I know he's not awake because I don't smell food. The TV is still on when I walk in and his suitcase is thrown on the floor, wide open with clothes spilling out of it. I chuckle at his mess and walk into the kitchen to get a glass of water.

I decide to spoil Niall and cook him some breakfast for when he wakes up, even though it's around lunch time now. I know I'm babying him but I can't help it.

I decide to make eggs and bacon and French toast. It's a good thing we went to the store yesterday or he would be eating nothing, surprisingly there was almost no food in his place.

I put the French toast on the griddle and as I wait to flip it I decide to go wake up Niall. I walk down the hallway as quietly as possible and slowly open his door.

All the curtains are drawn and the room is cast in complete darkness aside from the rectangle of light from the open door. Niall groans a little in his sleep and rolls over, making me smile. I walk up to the side of his bed and sit down next to him. He looks so peaceful when he's asleep. His blond hair is sticking in every direction and I giggle quietly at the way it looks, running my hand through it. His eyelids flutter and my other hand goes to stroke his cheek, running my thumb along the stubble on his chin.

I can't help myself and I lean down and kiss his lips softly. When I pull away his eyes open and he has the biggest grin on his face I can't help but smile too.

"Well that's the best way I've ever waken up." he mumbles in his gruff morning voice and I giggle. As I lean down to kiss his forehead he pulls me on top of him. I squeal and continue to giggle when he nuzzles his face into my neck, arms tight around my back. "I missed you." he whispers, making me shiver.

"I just saw you yesterday." I pull back a little bit and look down at his smiling face, my hair forming a curtain around us.

"So? I still missed you." he tries to pull me down for a kiss but I put my hand over his mouth.

"Not so fast buddy boy, no kisses for you until you're out of bed sleepy head!" I giggle and he pouts when I pull my hand away.

"Just one?" he pouts some more and pulls me closer. I shake my head in defiance and I twist out of his arms and sit on the edge of the bed before he can pull me back. "Esssiiiiiiiii....." he drags out my name and I giggle.

"I'll kiss you when you're dressed, it's almost noon, silly goose." I stick my tongue out at him as I stand up. Before I can process what's happening he's standing with his arms tightly around my waist, holding me hostage.

"I'm not letting you leave till you kiss me." he whispers in my ear and I shiver again, I can practically feel the smile on his face.

"Niall..." I sigh and he tightens his arms even more. "The French toast is probably burning."

He releases me quickly and practically pushes me towards the door. "What are you doing in here then? Oh my gosh save the French toast!!! Go! Go! Go!" he yells and all I can do is giggle as I make my way back to the kitchen.
