Mr. Foreign (Niall Horan Fanfic)

chap 2

(A/n) the bathroom up top ;p
Toris p.o.v 

We just laid there for a while. It wasn't awkward, it just felt like we've known each other for years. Suddenly, I remembered. TOUR! I jumped up, pulling him with me. He looked quite dissapointed.

I took him to the 2nd door. His face lt up in amazement as I opened it. It was a bathroom. A very large bathroom, to be exact.
He slowly walked im, running his fingers across the edge of our huge jet bath, his eyes wandering. First, to the bath. Then the sit-in shower. Next to our beautiful ceramic sink, and finally coming to settle on me.

He stared open mouthed at me, mumbling incoherently. I laughed and took the opportunity to state the obvious. "This is the upstairs bathroom, you can use it whenever you want.

He looked as though it was christmas, grinning like a five year old. I grabbed his hand to drag him downstairs just as my mom called out "dinner!!" We came downstairs. I licked my lips, smiling at the corn beef and cabbage sitting on the table, fresh cookies set on a plate in the middle. I immediately went to grab a cookie, but my hand got smacked lightly by my mom, scolding me and saying to wait until after. I had to resist rolling my eyes. I sat down, niall following suite.

My mom turned to scoop some food on the plates. Just when she wasnt looking, I snatched a cookie, shoving half of it in my mouth, and chucking the other at niall. He caught it, a micheveous glint in his eyes, as he shoved it in his like me.

He looked at me, his eyes lingering on my mouth. At first I thought he wanted to kiss me, But then he pointed out a dark glob of chocolate in the corner of my lips. I hurriedly licked it away, casting my head down. My mom spun around, flourishing a beautiful plate of food in front of him. I thought she was being silly, but he looked delighted.

After everyone was served and we were all seated, we joined hands, mom snatching Niall's left hand, and me his right. They immediately closed their eyes and my dad began to pray. Niall looked desparately at me, not knowing what to do. I gave him a look that said just go with it. He nodded uncertainly and closed his eyes just in time to look like he had been praying with them.

We all dug in, niall looking as if he never had a proper meal before.

After the plates had been cleared and our stomachs filled, I reached for 2 cookies, handing niall one and eating the other. His eyes closed in delight. My mom did make some badass cookies.

We departed, the parents taking to the living room, me and niall going back upstairs, heading to my room. As we passed the other halls, he asked curiously " what's down there?" I mentally facepalmed that I hadn't shown him. "Well, the right hall leads to other empty rooms (my mom hopes for more extanges), and this one (I said, pointing to the middle hall) has our game room, home theatre, and the 'lounge'" he looked very exited. "Hey, it's late, I'll show you in he morning?" (Today was friday) he looked understanding, exaustion finally poking through his eyes. I picked up the bag we had forgotten from the gas station, holding it up and waggling my eyebrows convincingly. He cracked a smile, following me to my room.

we plopped down onto my bed st the same time,me dramatically shoving my face into the pillow next to him with a huff. He laughed quietly as he pushed the hair that had fanned out on my face behind my ear. He made eye contact, his fierce blue eyes burning into my green ones. The connection we made quickly became too much to handle, seeing as we had literally just met earlier that day, even though it felt like it had been years.

I sat up, looking at the time. 12:59. "Holy crap, if mom knew we were up talking right now she'd have a cow." I said, getting up lazily, feeling something semi-hard hit my back. I turned around, seeing that it was a pack of skittles. I realized that we still hadn't eaten them. He looked up at me through his lashes, giving me a puppy dog look. I sighed in defeat as I stooped to pick them up.

Niall's p.o.v 

Skittles, I learned, are one of the most amazing candies I've ever tasted. She says that there are lots of different types of skittles, and I can't wait to try them.

I looked at the time. It was 1:24 a.m. I knew it was late, so I reluctantly got up, saying that I was gonna go take a bath. " where are the towels by any chance?" I asked. "Closet to your left when you walk in the door. Goodnight." She smiled tiredly. I nodded silently towards her and exited the room.

I grabbed a set of clothes from my suit case, making a mental note to unpack it tomorrow.

Once I had my clothes and toiletries, I headed towards the bathroom, I opened the door, suddenly remembering the dream that was this bathroom. I smiled to myself, setting my things on a stool-thingie next tho the huge, jacuzzi-like bathtub. I turned the little faucet sticking out over the edge, jabbing my hand under the flow to test the tempurature. It was perfect. I quickly stripped off my worn, old clothes, scrambling into the warm water. It was surprisingly quick to fill up, already like 5 inches from the edge. I turned the water off, closing my eyes and sinking to the bottom peacefully. I love the water, and can hold my breath an exeptoionally long amount of time.

I didn't know how long I was down there,  occasionally taking  breaths, until I heard a soft knock on the door. I treaded to the edge, sticking my body tho the wall of the tub so they couldn't see anything, and answered "come in" . The door cracked open about an inch, a little nose peeking through. "You're safe, come in." I reassured her. She opened it wider, sticking her whole head through this time. "Yeah?" She didn't answer right away, I waited...

Tori's  p.o.v 

"Yeah?" He questioned. At first I was confused, and then it hit me. Shit! Shit Shit shit! I completely forgot why I came here, I was distracted by the round, whisper of a butt that I saw sticking out behind him.

"Uhh, i-oh! Right... there is uh, a-a stereo. Yeah. S stereo, uh next to the basket. Aand, i- that's itt" I stuttered, embarassed.

I could tell he didn't buy it. He just cocked an eyebrow at me after a minute or so, and said "..well... I guess I'll just get back to... bathing." " yeah" I mumbled lowly, unblinking. Then it hit me like a truck. "Oh shit! Sorry.. i, bye" I said quickly, stumbling out the door. I closed it, my cheeks burning unbelievably hot with humiliation. I stopped outside the bathroom, hitting my head on he wall, scolding myself. I was standing there for a while, trying to comprehend what just happened, when I heard the song midnight memories seep softly under the door. I smiled to myself, apparently he is a softie. I like that.

Niall's p.o.v

I shook my head around like a dog, splashing water on the walls. I laughed quietly to myself, pulling a pink toothbrush out of my mouth to spit out the extra toothpaste, scrubbing around one last time before rinsing my mouth out and placing my things back in my bag. I grabbed my dirty clothes and wet towel and threw them in the hamper next to the door, as tori had instructed me.

I entered my room, tossing the bag across it and belly flopping on the bed, not bothering to turn off the light. In seconds I was out, drifting into a dreamless sleep.
