Perfect Imperfections (n.h a.u)

Chapter 21

>>Summertime, Butterflies, All belong to your creation<<

It's been two weeks. Two incredible weeks. Two incredible weeks of Niall and I. It's been two weeks since we have officially been dating. We go out to the movies and small cute dates every week at least twice. Some nights we just stay in doing work or watching movies. I've gotten a lot more closer to him than I was before. We are always together. It's great to be with someone as amazing as Niall.

We are nearing exam time and it's stressful. Sure enough we still have a month or so until Winter break and exams but it's even more stressful trying to get all the work done by then.
I was currently trying to get a head start on studying so there I was in my apartment, soft music playing in the background as I studied, my coffee keeping me company and awake. It was nearing midnight and my eyes were getting heavier with every word I read. I told Niall not to disturb me but he didn't listen and came over earlier with dinner. We ate, cuddled, couple stuff and then I was being an amazing girlfriend and kicked him out. He whined and groaned as he left but I got him out.

"Babe, I don't want to go!" Niall whined as he lied across the couch refusing to move.
"I have to study,Niall. Please?" I pleaded.
"You can study another time and also I can still stay. I'll be quiet, promise."
"The last time you promised you ended up making a mess in my kitchen and I didn't get anything done. Please Niall? I really just want to study so I won't be stressed closer to the time."
With a sigh Niall got up and made his way to the door. I followed him.
"At least give me a kiss?" He turned around, wrapping his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him and attached his lips to mine. We stood in the doorway sharing a few kisses. A few kisses into another ten minutes of giggles and kisses.
"This is what I'm talking about! Go!" I shoo'd him out. He left with one last kiss.
"If you need anything I'm right here! Bye!" He waved and entered his apartment leaving me to study in peace.

It's been three hours and I haven't stopped working. I really needed to get some sleep but I couldn't. I barely got anything done. I've been slacking off on my daily routine lately and it's bugging me.
I rubbed my eyes as I gave up and just padded off to my room where I didn't even have enough energy to get into bed, I just sort of collapsed on the covers and let sleep take over me.

I awoke with a startle, like what seemed ten minutes later but when I checked the time I have been sleeping for a good hour, when I heard my front door clicked closed. I got up slowly grabbing the first thing I could which was a textbook and walking cautiously to the door. It was dark. I heard my handle rattle and twist. The figure walked into my room as I jumped out and hit the person across the head. There was a loud groan as the person dropped the floor.
"Geez,Ari! You can hit someone pretty good!" I instantly recognized the voice. Niall.
"Oh god ! Niall I'm so sorry!" I crouched down next to him rubbing his back. "Are you okay?"
"I will be. Geez, remind me to ever surprise you!" He joked as he sat up slowly, leaning against the wall. He rubbed his head as he looked at me a small smile playing on his lips.
"I thought someone was breaking in. I didn't know it was you."
"I keep telling you to lock the door when you go to bed. I was going to use the key you gave me but I saw it was unlocked so I walked in anyways. I'm sorry I scared you." He apologized.
"What are you even doing here? It's late." I walked over to my bed, helping him along with me. Turns out a textbook to the head really does hurt.
"I wanted to check up on you. You were really stressed. And I missed you. I wanted you in my arms." He wrapped his arms around you waist, restating back on my pillows, pulling me with him. I rested my head on his chest as his hand rested on my hip, drawing small patterns on my exposed skin.
"Thank you. You're so caring and really sweet. You mean a lot to me Niall." I spoke softly, pressing a kiss to his chin. I felt him smile against my hair as he placed a soft kiss on my head.
"You mean a lot to me too. That's why I'm worried about you. You don't need to stress so much of exam, babe. I know you can get an A even if you don't study at all. You're just amazing like that."
"You have a lot of faith in me don't you?"
"I do. And also, I need a study buddy. I hate studying alone." He squeezed my waist slightly.
"You do realize if we study together we won't get any studying done. You're always distracting me!"
"It really isn't my fault my girlfriend is so beautiful and perfect. I can't help but kiss you or hold you in my arms." He pulled me closer to him as he said these words.
"Okay as cute and adorable as that is, in that how are we going to study together. Maybe, I'll get you and Maya to study since you can't study together." I suggested.
"No, that's weird. Maya and I are never alone, and I barely know her."
"What do you mean you're never alone? You've never been alone with her?"
"Exactly what I'm saying. It's not that I don't want to, it's just we don't really actually bond like friends normally would. She's friends with me because I'm her best friend's boyfriend and I'm her friend because she's my girlfriends best friend. It's just how it is."
"So then you two can study together so you can become actual friends."
He sighed and agreed. We stayed in silence for a few minutes. I began to doze off again.
"Ari?" Niall whispered.
"Hmm?"
"I-never mind. Goodnight babe!" He placed a soft kiss on my lips and pulled the covers over the bot of us.
I mumbled a goodnight too tired to comprehend what was going on and welcomed sleep happily.
