Tough Decisions

Shipping off to Ireland

As we arrived at the airport, I could feel Niall become eager. He wanted to meet my dad and make a great impression on him. I was excited for them to meet. My dad was strict and wasn't a fan of any guys I brought home, even my friends, but he knew that if I felt something for them, he should attempt to like the guy. "Don't be nervous Ni. He will without a doubt say, 'I'll need to show you my gun cabinet sometime,' but don't show fear. He judges guys by their reaction to that." Niall nodded, understanding my father's logic.

After we got through security, I called my mum. "Which gate is it mum?" I asked, walking around looking for the gate. I smiled seeing my mum, dad, and brother. Niall entwined our fingers as we made our way over to my family. I embraced my mum and kissed my dads cheek. As I gave my brother a quick side hug, I introduced Niall. "David, Dad, this is Niall. Mum you remember Ni, right?" My brother nodded a 'hey' as my father inspected him.

"Nice to meet you, Niall. I'll need to show you my gun cabinet sometime." my dad said. Told ya.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Gallagher, I've heard a ton about you. I would love to see your guns, maybe even go hunting with you sometime." he replied. I smiled at his response. My dad would have to like him after that.

My dad smiled, "Sounds great! And Lauren, I approve." I smiled and hugged my dad in thanks. 

"Flight 152A to Dublin is now boarding" beamed over the speakers with an overly excited voice. I looked up at Niall with a huge grin on my face and he kissed my cheek.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom quick before we board, be right back." I said. Niall nodded and I quick ran to the bathroom. I am so EXCITED!

Niall's P.O.V.

As she ran to the restroom, I took this as the perfect opportunity to ask Mr. Gallagher. I cleared my throat, "Excuse me, Mr. Gallagher?" I asked nervously. I needed to show her dad that I was not afraid of him, I just respected him. "May I ask you a quick question?" I asked in a strong voice. He nodded and waited for me to proceed. "I would like to ask your permission to date your daughter, if that would be okay?" I asked, standing my ground. He looked at me almost confused,"I thought you already were!" he said with a laugh. I smiled, "So is it okay with you if I ask her to be my girlfriend?" He nodded and patted my shoulder with a smile.

Lauren made her way back from the bathroom and I took her hand. We boarded the plane and took our seats. Lauren and I took our seats and began to get comfortable.  We cuddled up to each other and I heard Lauren giggle. "What?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. "Louis just texted me." she laughed and held her phone up for me to see.

From: Louis (Boobear, Loud Mouth, SwagMastaFromDonchaster, Tommo) Tomlinson

Did I call you mum? You can't blame me, I was half asleep!

To: Louis (Boobear, Loud Mouth, SwagMastaFromDonchaster, Tommo) Tomlinson

It's ok Boobear! haha I may be younger than you, but I'm definitely more mature :P

I laughed at their conversation and what Lauren had as Lou's name in her phone. "What's with the name?" I laughed. She sighed, "Its hard just to pick one. And they are all relevant." she half laughed. I nodded in agreement and cuddled up with her and kissed her forehead softly and realized she was already asleep. I smiled and decided to think of a way to ask Lauren to be my princess, my girlfriend, mine. As I was brainstorming, I felt drowsy and drifted off to sleep. This was going to be perfect.
