In this Moment

Chapter Twenty

****Rachel's POV*****

It had been six months since Niall and I had started dating and it was complete and total magic. We were both some much closer to each other, and with every moment together our relationship grew, I really couldn't picture myself with anyone else besides him. I had moved into his flat with him while Cher took mine. Everything was going perfectly, everything when I was awake. Jake had still managed to terrorize me nearly every time I slept, and I would either wake up crying or fighting. Niall would soon comfort me and then I was able to sleep peacefully the rest of the night but I wouldn't tell him what I was really dreaming about, I would always make up an excuse.

But besides the obvious bad, things were near perfection.

I was sitting on the couch in watching Friends while Niall was making dinner for the two of us. Lately I had been getting less and less sleep and it had started to become a struggle to do normal things, I tried to be as non-chalant about it as possible though.

"Macaroni and Cheese for my princess." Niall said handing the bowl and holding his own sat next to me on the couch.

"Thank you my prince." I curled up next to him and began to eat still watching my favorite show, letting my mind rest from all thoughts.

Once I was finished I sat the bowl on the coffee table and in front of us as Niall did the same and then laid back on the couch. I moved closer into his lap trying to get as close as possible, as he wrapped an arm around my waist and the another stretched it on the top of the couch.

When the episode was finished and the credits started to roll Niall spoke, "So guess who called me today?" he asked eagerly waiting my answer.

"Who?"

"Well actually two people called me today." he added dragging out my suspense.

"NI who!?" I asked.

"Well this morning my mum called and asked if I had time to visit." he said leaving me wondering and wanting more. He was so good at leading me on, I hated and loved it.

"Sooooo..."

"Soooo, her and my step father, and even my dad are coming over for dinner tomorrow night." he sounded so excited, but on the inside I was freaking out. I hadn't met any of Niall's family besides the boys and I was pretty nervous.

"Niall sounds like so much fun, that would be so nice to have them over." I replied truly happy but also extremely nervous.

"Yeah I thought it would be a great chance for them to meet you. Mum even said that Greg might join us." Yeah! More people to embarrass myself in front of.

"So is that it?" I asked hoping that was all the family for now.

"Yep that is everyone who's coming. I can't wait for them to meet you, I know you'll all get along great." he said grinning widely. "Oh also there is something else I need to tell you." he grin faded slowly.

I embraced myself, expecting the worst but hoping for the best. "We start our tour next month." he spoke softly.

My heart dropped, not seeing Niall for months on end, girls throwing themselves at him, constantly being busy. The thoughts just killed me, what if we don't last, between the nightmares and not being with Niall I didn't know if I could take it.

I didn't realize it but I was starring down at mine and Niall's intertwine hands, he was rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand trying to sooth me. "Rach." I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes at the sound of his voice. "We can make it work, I'll make it work for you."
