A Hint of Spice

Chapter 30

**Keeley's POV**

I awoke with Slide clutched in my arms. It only took me a few minutes to realize that I was wearing one of Niall's shirts and a pair of his boxers. His warm body lay next to me as he snored softly. I giggled and laid down on his chest. Our lips met several times as he grinned.

"Good morning, love." His voice was groggily but I still loved his Irish accent that floated to my ears.

"Morning." I smiled as I laid my head on his bare chest. "What's the plan for today?"

"Well, I have a soccer game today and I don't know what you are doing, but in the next few days we need to go shopping for you." His eyes were closed, the sweet yet salty blue hidden from me.

"Shopping?"

He laughed slightly. "Your clothes were all destroyed in the fire."

"Oh!" I face palmed. "Well, it's the morning and I'm tired." I said as I laid back down next to him. His arm naturally wrapped around my body as I was pulled into his. "You know all those movies where the husband gets home from work and the wife kisses him before making dinner and they live in a perfect house with a perfect family?" I sucked in air quickly as I waited for a reply.

"Mhmm.." He mumbled. I could tell he was going back to sleep.

"Well, I've always loved those stories. They were always cute and the best ever.."

"And what about ours?" He mumbled.

"Our love story?"

"Mhmm.."

I smiled as I closed my eyes. "It's better."

I woke to find that the warm mess of his body was gone, causing a groan escape my lips. He was instantly in the doorway smirking. He wore his soccer uniform as he watched me. "Morning babe."

My hand ran down my face and through my hair. "Morning." He handed me a strawberries and cream from Starbucks. I was never into coffee. "Thank you." I began to drink from the straw as he watched me, sipping his own cup.

He nodded as he kissed my forehead. I smiled against my straw before I set it on the dresser and fell back onto the bed. I closed my eyes, my smile not leaving my face as I fell asleep again.

I woke to a silent flat. Swinging my legs out from the covers I walked to the kitchen to find a note on the fridge.

"Went to my game. Just continue sleeping, you seem to be slowly catching up on the rest you lost. I'll see you when I get home.

Love you,

Niall <3"

I smiled and clutched the note to my chest as I went back to his room and crawled under the warm duvet, falling asleep again.

I woke again, brushing the hair out of my face as Niall walked out of the bathroom. He grinned wide as he walked over to me, kissing me softly. "We won. All the girls were there so we won for you." I smiled as I noticed the crumpled note in my hand. "I love you." He whispered into my ear before kissing me again.

He crawled into the bed next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I scooted closer to him before kissing his bare chest. "I love you more."

He laughed slightly. "No I love you more."

"No I do."

"Fine."

I giggled before looking up at his face. Our lips met in a sweet yet long kiss. That's when I closed my eyes and fell back asleep.

The next morning I was running around the flat as I got dressed in a pair of Niall's baggy jeans and his red polo shirt. I slipped on a pair of his white high tops before curling my hair and putting on foundation.

As I walked out of the bathroom he woke up and watched me put my earrings in. "Where are you going?" He asked.

I paused as I grabbed my purse. "I've got a photo shoot."

"You're a model?"

I smirked at him before he grinned and winked at me. I walked out of the room and into the kitchen where I quickly ate some waffles. He came up behind me and pulled my hair away from my face before leaning down to whisper in my ear.

"Well, I'll undress any model that has my clothes on.." He kissed my jaw before walking to the fridge to find something to eat. He wore no shirt, exposing his muscles, and only grey sweats.

I finished quickly before setting my plate in the sink and kissing him. "I'll see you later. Love you!" I turned and ran out the door.

"Love you too!" I heard him call out as I closed the door. I jumped into his car and drove to the studio downtown, running to the elevator.

I smiled at Lo as she walked up. "Morning gorgeous!" She giggled and winked before snapping a picture of me. "Did you sleep in Niall's clothes?" She smirked.

I giggled. "Morning to you too beautiful and no, my house burned down and his were the only choice I had."

She hugged me before smiling. "Well, you look gorgeous."

**Niall's POV**

"I just don't know, okay?" I sighed as I ran a hand through my quiff.

"Why not? You need to know." Harry looked at me from the other couch.

"Because I just can't decide when to. There hasn't been any romantic moment lately, plus we just got back together. She might think we're rushing and usually people-"

"Dude." He cut me off, his eyebrows raised. "Does she love you?" I nodded. "Do you love her?" I nodded. "So ask."

I sighed again and ran a hand down my face. The small velvet box sat on the coffee table between us.

"When?"

"Take her on a date tonight."

"To where?"

"Your back yard."

"What?" I couldn't believe him. My back yard?

"Look, it's better to ask them when you guys are alone. In the middle of a restaurant with you as a pro soccer player, an ex-singer, and her as a famous model, I'm pretty sure everyone will be all over it. At home it'll be sweet and romantic." He smirked at me as I stared at the velvet box.

Was I ready? Pshh ya. But was she?

"And what if she says no?" I looked up at Harry. His smirk disappeared as he thought for a moment.

"I don't know, mate." He stood and smiled. "I've got to go. Lynzie and I are having a date."

I nodded as he left. I watched the box again, almost like it was gonna tell me something. I sighed again before standing and grabbing the box in my hand, making my way upstairs. Glancing at the clock I noted she would be home soon. I suddenly couldn't wait as butterflies erupted in my stomach.
