My Princess Next Door 》》 Niall Horan

Chapter 42

NIAGARA'S POV

"I love you......" a whisper. Just a whisper. But the voice was unmistakable for me. Niall. I heard him.

I heard Niall say I love you....

Come on! Say it back! I'm so stupid!

"Princess....." again him.

Why do my eyelids feel like they are glued with fevicol? With a struggle, I opened my eyes, only to see the man I love staring at me with infinite emotions swirling in his eyes and a small smile dancing at the corner of his lips.

I felt his thumb stroke my cheek and his breath mixed with my own. That goofy grin was still plastered in his face, which made me to grin like stupid as well.

"Princess..... " he breathed in ny face.

"Ni...." I managed back.

"I missed you...." his voice cracked a bit in the end.

"What happened Niall?" I asked him.

"You.... um.... you were in a coma.... for the past two months.... after you got k-kidnapped..." he kept on stuttering.

Wait, WHAT!!!!??????

"I WAS IN A COMA???!!!" I said, a bit too loud.

"Shhh princess... I got you now.." he consoled me.

"Nialler...." I held him even tighter.

He gently cupped my face in his hands, his breathing uneven and erratic. His lips were absolutely close to mine. Kiss me Niall!

As if he read my mind.... he leaned in placing his soft lips gently on mine. I wanted him to feel all the love I have for him in this kiss. So I kissed back with no hesitation. Soon, I got lost in the rhythmic dancing of our lips and the only thing I wanted to do was kiss Niall. He bit my lower lip, asking entrance inside. And I gladly gave him, of course. He cocked his head to the right deepen the kiss a bit more. And I'm just getting more and more lost in its power.

Why does everything feels so right when it's him? What did I do, to deserve someone as good as Niall? I've always tried to search for the answer to these questions, but I'll never find one I guess.

We slowly broke the kiss as our lungs screamed for air.

"Get a room you two!" I heard a familiar, cheerful voice. Louis.

"Lou" I called at him, but not breaking away Niall's cuddle.

"Nia.." he cheerfully ran towards us.

"Where are my two favorite Irish people?" Harry's voice this time. And he and Liam walked in.

Zayn came in after a moment with Hale.

"Haleyroo!" I called the name I'd given to my best friend.

"Ugh! Drop that will you?" She stated, clearly annoyed that I didn't forget that pet name. But all the others were standing dumbfounded.

"She wanted to be a kangaroo when she was younger. And through the passage of time, Haley the Kangaroo became Haleyroo" I explained, causing even everyone in the room to burst out laughing.

"If Greg knows.... I'M DOOMED!" She dramatically cried causing us all to laugh again.

"Niall...." a man clad in a white jacket called him. That must be my doctor, I presume. "If you'll come with me, we can ready the release papers and you can take her home as soon as she's all good" he said.

I reluctantly let him go and he went with the doctor. The moment he stepped out, I started to have a bad feeling. Who knows why?

Five minutes passed as I immersed myself in a conversation with all of them. Mostly, asking about my health.

I climbed out of my bed and went to the window to peer out to Niall and the doctor.

And that's when we heard a gunfire and I saw a man falling to his knees, groaning in absolute agony.

I froze at my place even as the lads and Hale began to get worried. My breath hitched as I saw the sight of my brother, Jordan stand with a victorious smile and a pointed gun and the victim turned towards me, as if he knew I was watching, and I was paralysed with fear.

He looked at me straight in the eyes as if he were trying to tell me something. Jordan fired one more time.

"The door's locked from outside" Louis announced to the already worried us.

The man fell to the floor and I screamed, as if he will get up if I call his name.

"NIALL!!!" I screamed, and the others in my room put together what happened.

Niall was shot.....
