Maybe You're Mine (a Niall Horan fanfic)

Chapter 5

*Bridget's POV

Once I finish changing I go out to find Niall sprawled across the couch. When he sees me he smiles and sits up, making room for me to sit next to him. "Well aren't you making yourself at home," I grin, sitting down carefully, fidgeting with my skirt and making Niall laugh as I almost fall off the couch with all my squirming.

"I don't approve of the skirt", I nudge him playfully, giving him a scolding look.

Niall grins, "Well you won't find me complaining."

He winks and I feel as if my heart might explode, but before he can see me blush I reach for the popcorn and grab a handful. Niall does too, but instead of just a few pieces, he shoves a whole handful into his mouth at once. I giggle as he looks over, cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk's. It's hard not too like this boy. He's just so perfect, but I still have my doubts pulling me back and telling me not to fully fall for him quite yet, you can't truly like a guy in just a day or two can you??

Once we finish about half the bag of popcorn, I grab the remote and turn on the movie. Its a pretty good movie, but I'm still incredibly tired from last night, so partway through, I fall asleep. I wake up when the movie's almost over and I'm leaning on Niall with my head on his shoulder and a blanket over the two of us that he must've grabbed from the other side of the couch. For a while I just stay like that, hoping he doesn't notice I'm awake and watching the end of the movie enjoying this opportunity to be close to my new whatever he was to me. I promised myself I wouldn't overthink that.

When the credits begin roll I shift so that I'm slightly more upright and Niall looks down at me, "Good morning sleepyhead!", he begins to move some and I mumble in protest. He laughs and moves some more, looking for the remote.

"Stay there, you're warm," I murmur to the sleeve of his shirt. He chuckles and leans over to pull the blanket off, causing the cool air to hit me all at once.I squeal and jerk upright glaring at him while he cracks up.

"C'mon, help me find the remote," he finally gets out in a break in his laughter. He looks behind the couch, but I just pull the blanket back over me and curl into a ball.

When he can't find it behind the couch he comes back to me, "Get up love, it's not time to sleep now," he nudges me some, but I just pull the blanket over my head. "Well I guess were gonna have to do this the hard way then."

All of a sudden I feel myself being lifted from the couch. I try to squirm away, but Niall just tightens his grip as he slings me over his shoulder.

I try to complain, but am cut off by Niall, "There it is! Bridget, you were laying on the remote the whole time," I mumble an apology as he grabs it and switches the tv off, then carries me into the kitchen and sets me in a chair.

"Why can't I go back to sleep?" I ask while watching curiously as Niall searches through the cupboards.

"We never had lunch," he states simply, pulling down a pack of ramen noodles he finds from one of the top cupboards. "Now I won't dare call you a bad host because you just let me barge in here and take up half your day, but I'm starving. Would you like me to make some?" , he looks over and smiles and I remember Kristi's note.

"Oh shoot, I forgot Kristi was going to stop home for lunch," I look over to the clock to see the time, "she must be running late." I look over at Niall and frown, I didn't want our time today to be over, "I'm so sorry, I entirely forgot" I get up and walk over to him.

He puts down the noodles and shakes his head, "It's alright, I'd better go soon anyway and I can make you lunch another time," he bats at my hair, still up in a messy bun, then heads for the door.The corners of my lips curl up as I think of how he said another time and while he slips on his jacket, I walk over and pick up the paperwork for my job and hand it to him.

He thanks me and heads to the door, "See you at work then??" I nod and smile as I give him a wave goodbye and watch him head down the steps to his car.
