Our Summer of Direction

Niall's POV

Niall’s POV

“Wake up darling dearest.” Emilea laughs poking my face. I blink my eyes sleepily and close them again.

“I mean it Ni. I’m bored!” She whines pouting adorably. I smile a little and yawn.

“What do you want to do?” I ask stretching my arms and sitting up.

“Well I don’t know! I just wanted you up…” Em admits grinning widely.

“Really? You woke me up and you didn’t even have an idea about what we should do?” I tease smirking slightly.

“I’m sorry I didn’t think ahead! I just got bored…” Emilea frowns looking over at the fridge.

“Would you like me to make you some lunch?” I ask, helping her off of the couch.

“Mhmm food I don’t have to make? Yes please!” Em grins hopping up on one of the barstools. I smile at her silly antics and go over to the fridge.

“So I can make Mac and Cheese, Mac and Cheese, orrr Mac and Cheese. Anything sounding good?” I ask pulling a pot out and putting it on the stove.

“I’m thinking Mac and Cheese sounds delightful.” She says hiding her smirk.

“An excellent choice M’lady.” I laugh starting to boil the water. I get out a couple beers and pop the top for Emilea.

“Why thank darling.” Em smiles taking a swig. We clink bottles and I go back to the stove. Emilea sits quietly until I hand her a bowl of Mac and Cheese.

“Dig in!” I say tossing her a fork. She smiles happily and I go and sit down by her.

“I can clear the bowls.” Em offers when we’re done eating. I shake my head at her and go put the bowls in the sink.

“You’re the sweetest!” She smiles before coming up and wrapping her arms around my neck.

“Why thank you sweetheart.” I murmur before placing my lips against hers.

“Anytime.” She says smiling sweetly.

“Let’s go out tonight.” I say pulling back and looking into her eyes.

“Where do you wanna go?” She asks furrowing her brow.

“A bar? A club? A date?” I ask smiling at her.

“Do I get to choose?” Emilea asks drinking her beer again.

“Of course.” I reply automatically.

“Hmm….how about a date? It’s been so long since we’ve been in papers.” She jokes with a huge grin.

“It has been awhile hasn’t it?” I laugh leading her upstairs.

“Where are we going?” She asks looking in the half of the closet I filled with dresses for her.

“Where would you like to go? How about to the park or dinner.” I suggest when she doesn’t say anything.

“Okay.” She smiles pulling out some of the things she had gotten for her birthday. I grab my clothes and head into the bathroom to get ready for a night on the town.
