Dark Niall

chapter 9

~Dark Niall~9

I hop in the shower after explaining to Becca what happened. She kept nagging so I thought she deserved an answer. I get out and take my time getting ready. I just slipped on one of my big sweater with some jeggings. It was kind of like my go to outfit. Niall kept texting me nonstop as I get ready.

Niall: you still home?

Lillie: yes Niall

Niall: just making sure princess

Lillie: you don't have to worry

Niall: yes I do

Lillie: no you don't...please don't?

Niall: I won't worry when you get here

Lillie: okay come and get me then ;)

Niall: on my way xx

I set my phone down and slipped my shoes on waiting for Niall. He was here in a matter of minutes and protectively led me to his car. He was probably gonna act like this for a while. Great. Not that it bugged me so much, it's just Niall could go over bored sometimes. Well all the time. But I know he means well. We pull up to his house and he jogs around to the other side, opening my door for me. When I get out and he shuts the door, he suddenly picks me up bridal style causing me to giggle. He goes in side and sets me down on the couch. On his little coffee table are a bouquet of yellow lilies. I look up at him and smile wide. "I know it's cheesy, but you deserved to be treated right. I shouldn't have yelled at you." "Niall, it's fine. Your right it wasn't right of me to do that and get you all worked up. I'm sorry." I say kissing him. He smiles. "Look what movies in." He whispers. I look and see my favorite movie playing. Juno. He pulls me into his chest and lays down, so we're spooning. I feel like a child in his arms. I felt so small compared to him. But it made me feel more safe. As the movie goes on I feel myself become drowsy. I try to fight it but the warmth of Niall and the feel of him breathing is so soothing. As I fight my hardest I hear Niall say, "Go to sleep baby. I'll be here when you wake up." And with those soft silk words, I'm out like a light.

Niall's P.O.V

Lillie goes to sleep as soon as I tell her to. She was snuggling wrapped in arms as our feet were intertwined. I never wanted to let her go. She gave me a scare today. When Greg said he seen and talked to her it got my blood boiling. Greg shouldn't be around her. He was cable of to many things. But I suppose some people could say the same thing about me. Expect I would never hurt Lillie. Ever. That's the one thing I want to keep her from is hurt. Pain. Anything bad. She didn't need to be poisoned like me. I wouldn't let that happen. That's why I got so angry when Greg told me he was even close to her. I wouldn't trust him with her. Ever. I love Greg, but he's just not in a good place in his life. I'm trying to help him, but I have to keep him away from Lillie. And when he told me he didn't know for sure If she made it home okay, that was it for me. I thought he had done something to her. Hurt her. Thank god he didn't. I would have killed my own brother if I found out he ever laid a hand on her. I would kill any guy who tried to lay a hand on her. Because she's mine. And only mine. Nobody can touch her the way I do. I feel my arms tighten around her as all these intrusive thoughts come in. She shifts from beneath my arms but doesn't wake up. She just turns towards me so her head is now resting on my chest. Her little hands, well there little to me, come up to my chest and clutch on to my t-shirt. Naturally I bring her in closer to me and kiss the top her head. I'll be damned if she thinks she's going alone places with out me anymore. Although I have a bunch of work coming up so that might be difficult. But I'll try everything I can. It's just this urge I always have to protect her from everything. I know it annoys her sometimes but her safety has become my main priority. Always has always will. I scoop her up in my arms and bring her to m bed after the movie finishes. I tuck her in like a child and press myself to her again, so her tiny body is curled up to mine. Her head is resting on my chest again and I can't help but to kiss all over her face. Gently and softly of course so I won't wake her from her sleep. She seems to snuggle in closer to me though after I do this and her hands clutch my shirt again. It was so damn cute when she did that. I had to start admitting something to myself and her. But to myself first. I, I think I was falling in love with her.
