Live (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

The Morning

A/N: here's the next chapterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Eva's POV

I opened my eyes and was met by Niall's closed ones. I jumped slightly, startled at the sudden closeness. I could feel his hot breath on my neck, it was surprisingly soothing. I could detect his minty fragrance. His hair was messy but damn he looked hot! His arm was still weaved around my waist tightly and his legs tangled with mine.

That was when I remembered the slight detail of him being basically naked. His bare chest rose and fell and my fist was pressed against it - my fingers tangled in his manly chest hair. I realised my outer arm was rested on his side so I pulled it away. Niall seemed disturbed but soon settled back down again.

I had to get up and check the time but I really didn't want to disturb Niall. I tried to escape his grasp but it only grew tighter. I decided I might as well just wait it out so I settled myself back down. I looked at him again and gasped when I realised that his eyes were open.

He wasn't saying anything, only smiling sweetly. He was looking deep into my eyes. He still clung tightly to me.

I wanted to say something but I was so lost in his eyes. They reminded me of a whirl pool - so beautiful and enticing.

"Niall..." I whispered but trailed off as he leaned in.

He closed his eyes and his lips connected with mine. I was shocked but closed my eyes also. The kiss was soft but Niall was getting deeper into it.

I was loving the kiss and it felt right, it felt right for me to be kissing him...but it felt so soon.

I opened my eyes and pulled away. His eyes fluttered open, obviously surprised at my early retreat.

"Niall...we've only know each other a day..." I try to explain, I don't want to hurt his feelings and just the thought of it made my eyes brim with tears.

"Shh shh hey" he whispered, trying to comfort me and held my cheek with his left hand as he rubbed his thumb just below my eye, wiping the tears away.

"I'm so sorry Niall, I don't want to hurt your feelings but I feel like we are moving too fast"! I cry and he holds me tight into his chest and rubs my back softly.

"Eva, I like you...more than you know"! The words came from him directly and I still couldn't believe it. "And I hate seeing you like this. We can go as slow as you want Eva, I'm willing to wait for you - take as long as you need."

"Thank you Niall, that means so much to me." I looked up at him and he smiled.

"Anything Eva"

Niall's POV

We were in the car now and Eva was looking over the map, checking through our route.

I was at the wheel and had my foot down. I couldn't help but let my mind wander back to what happened this morning. How Eva reacted to me kissing her. I wished I could go back to that moment when I kissed her. It was one of the single greatest moments of my life!

I felt like in that moment her eyes were beckoning me to kiss her so I fell under her spell and went for it. I remember her saying my name just before it happened and it made me melt. When I kissed her she seemed to be shocked but didn't protest - she kissed me back, even if it was just for a few seconds. She kissed me back.

It killed me when she began crying. Knowing that I had caused her to break down. She was right...we had only know each other for a day and it normally takes a couple of dates over a few weeks before you sleep in the same bed (with one of you basically naked) and cuddle then kiss in the morning.

She didn't seem to object to the cuddling though which I was glad of because I loved her small warm figure in my arms.

I was willing to wait, wait as long as she needed and I'd take it slow...for her.

"Niall, Niall"? I heard but I kept thinking about how to go about getting her to feel the same about me.

"Niall"! I heard someone shout and I snapped out of my trance and looked at Eva.

"Yeah sorry, what"? I asked.

"Timmy wants some music on, would you be OK with that"? Eva asked and I looked in the rear view mirror at Tim who was staring at me.

"Yeah sure Tim, what do you want"?

"Niall" he shouted and giggled.

"You want Niall"? Eva laughed.

"I want to listen to Niall"! He shouted again and folded his arms, pretending to sulk.

"Which album"? I asked, knowing Eva had every single one in there. I smiled when I thought about it.

"Any"! He exclaimed and Eva opened the glovebox.

"Do you have a preference"? She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Surprise me"! I winked and she pulled out one of them.

She put in the 'Midnight Memories' CD and went through the tracks to the last part of it.

So your friends been telling me,
You've been sleeping with my sweater,
And that you can't stop missing me...

I heard 'Half a Heart' play through the speakers. She closed her eyes and began to mouth the words.

"You like this one? I didn't really think this track was that successful." I asked and she nodded.

"It's my favourite! The first time I heard it, it touched me so much I cried. And it doesn't have to be successful for me to love it"! She giggled. "You're just lucky it actually is successful"! She then carried on mouthing the words.

I could hear my part coming up and I could see her eyeing me.

She pointed to me when the part came on and I sang it to her.

Though I try to get you out of my head,
The truth is I got lost without you,
And since then I've been waking up to...

Only half a blue sky,
(Only half a blue sky)
Kinda there but not quite,
I'm walking around with just one shoe,
I'm half a heart without you,
I'm half a man at best,
(Half a man at best)
With half an arrow in my chest,
I miss everything we do,
I'm a half a heart without you.

I sang my backing vocals for the chorus and she watched me and smiled but her eyes were portraying pure joy.

The song ended and Timmy shouted "that was boring! Put something better on"! Eva and I laughed as she reached her hand out to the player.

"Alright mister, this won't be so boring"! She said as she changed the track to track 4.

1, 2, 3
Straight off the plane to a new hotel,
Just touched down, you could never tell,
A big house party with a crowded kitchen,
People talk shh but we don't listen...

'Midnight Memories' played through the stereo and Timmy started dancing...with his arms.

Eva and I laughed hysterically as we sang along too, me singing my solos. We went on to listen to many tracks such as 'Little White Lies', 'Heart Attack', 'Does He Know', 'Back For You', 'Na Na Na' (which I hadn't heard in years) and 'You and I' and 'Gotta Be You' where we attempted to hit the high notes.

We all had a lot of fun. What we didn't realise was that it may be the most fun we have in a long time.

The calm before the storm.
