It's A Bumpy Ride. *Niall Horan Finished*

Chapter 31

-Courtney

I woke up from my nap to see Niall lying beside me, his eyes still closed, sleeping. After we got here it was early; we barely got any sleep on the plane so we were catching up on some sleep.  I checked the clock by the bed to see it was already three in the afternoon. I am still super tired but I know if I go back to sleep than I won’t sleep tonight.

Lazily, I got out of the warm bed and walked over towards our suitcases. I grabbed some shorts and a loose tank top and also a pink bandeau bikini. I went into the bathroom and changed; I washed my face and put my hair into a braid down the side of my face. When I was done I walked out of the bathroom, being met with a sleeping Niall; I slowly walked out of the room and went into the kitchen to make some food. 

I opened the freezer and pulled out some wrapped chicken breasts. The house we have was pre-stocked with food and other things we would need.

“Okay what can I make with chicken?” I drummed my fingers along my chin as I thought out loud. An arm wrapped around my waist making me jump.

“Chicken with rice and vegetables sounds amazing for lunch.” He answered my question in a sleepy voice. I must say that was probably one of the sexiest things I have ever heard.

“But baby, if I make that it really wouldn’t be lunch it would be dinner.” I turned around and put a frown on my face. He sighed a little and I knew he was thinking.

“Well how about we just make some sandwiches and then after we finish we go swim; that is of course after we wait a half hour so we don’t get stomach pains. Then we can have chicken for a late dinner?” He lightly kissed my lips before disappearing back into the living area. I laughed quietly to myself and set the chicken aside to thaw out.  I washed my hands, dried them, and then grabbed a few things out of the fridge. Turkey, lettuce, a tomato, and some mayo.

I made two sandwiches, one for each of us, and piled some plain chips on the side of the plates. While I put the unused food back into the fridge and grabbed two bottles of water for us.

“Niall?” I called throughout the house once I put the water beside each plate. Less than a minute later he appeared beside me, a large smile on his face. He stood beside me and ate, occasionally nudging my shoulder with his. I laughed at his playful antics.

When we were finished we set both plates in the sink. Niall went off to put his swim trunks on so I went to the back door that opened to a porch that led down to the crystal clear water. The sun was a definite change from the snow in Ireland; a nice change. Hopefully while I’m here in the sun I can get a tan so I’m not a pale ghost. Or if I don’t tan I’ll just get one big sun burn, that’ll be a pain in my ass. I jumped, again, at the loud splash that Niall made when he jumped into the water that was in front of me.

He resurfaced and shook his hair, his eyes opened and he gave me a wide smile.

“You coming in?” His asked. I laughed and nodded whiling standing up and taking my tank and shorts off. A low whistle sounded from Niall. I rolled my eyes at the extremely cheeky man I call my husband.

Before he could say much I jumped in beside him. A lot of water went up my nose, since I usually close it but can’t since I got my nose pierced a while ago. When I surfaced I couched up some of the water, laughing a little bit too.  Niall gave me a funny look but I just went along with the flow.

The water was a cool refresher to the hot sun above. I didn’t swim much more or less just floated in the water, my eyes closed and my ears perked up to the sound of the ocean and trees around me. I think Niall was swimming underneath me, or at least I hoped it was him, because I felt a rush of water move me around. When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Niall standing on the deck, his white IPhone in hand. I smiled at him as he took a picture but then realized that it wasn’t Niall that was swimming underneath me. To say I didn’t haul my ass out of the water was an understatement, I was out of the water in a second.  Niall laughed at me and I noticed the phone was still pointed towards me.
