My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light coming from the windows. I took a deep breath, turning my head from my right to my left, while stretching out my leg muscles. My eyes landed on Niall, his head resting on my chest as soft snores escaped past his parted lips. His blond hair was all over the place, our legs tangled together. I smiled softly down at him, reaching my hand up to run my fingers through his hair, quiffing it up.
We had must've fallen asleep during our movie night last night- which was every Friday night, though we made an exception on this Wednesday night. Last night we were watching mocking jay part one. I remember now just getting lost in the comfort of Niall's arms and drifting off.
My gaze snapped down from the tv screen that was still on yet now blue to meet Niall as I felt him stirring. He let out a big sigh and lifted his head up a bit, meeting my gaze
"Mmm" he mumbled, resting his head back on my boob. I giggled quietly, continuing to run my fingers through his hair
"Morning Ni" I whispered, leaning down to kiss his forehead
"Mornin'" he spoke, nuzzling his head into my chest. His arm wrapped tighter around my waist, preventing me from moving anywhere.
"It's your favorite holidayyy" I grinned, shaking Niall's arm a little, though not too much to startle him.
"Aye, it is, in'it?" He grinned cheekily, lifting his head up from my chest. He wiggled his eyebrows all while rubbing his stomach
"Love me some turkey and stuffin'" he licked his lips just thinking about it
"Then dessert" he started, leaning forward and placing his mouth to your ear
"You" he whispered, kissing your earlobe. You're eyes widened as he pulled away though you quickly recovered when his cerlaun blue eyes met yours, looking down to his lips to see the playful smirk etched onto his face
"Someone woke up excited today" you joked, allowing Niall to climb over you onto your lap. The thick white blanket you had covering you both started to slip to the ground as he moved, placing his knees on either side of your criss-crossed legs. He pulled the blanket over his shoulders, keeping you and him warm as his hands reached to the back edge of the couch, encircling you both in the blanket. He giggled as he looked up to you, an innocent, boyish look to his features then that made you want nothing more than to kiss those light pink, luscious lips
Which is exactly what you did. You placed your lips softly onto his, your eyelids fluttering closed at the welcoming sensation his lips offered. His hand came up to cup your cheek, pulling you in just a bit more to allow the kiss to become sweeter.
You and Niall had been together for 4 years, having been married for a year now. You were American, which is how he knew what thanksgiving was and why he even celebrated it. He would go with you to visit your family every year since the first, and they couldn't get enough of the boy who stole your heart
Once you pulled away from the kiss, Niall pecked your lips repeatedly, causing you to chuckle
"I have something for you" Niall huskily spoke, reaching into his sweatpants pocket. You furrowed your eyebrows, how did you not feel something there last night?
He pulled out a light red box, opening it so that the item faced you. Inside was a silver necklace with a heart, an infinity symbol in the middle.
"Oh my god..it's beautiful Niall" you spoke, astonished. Your hands reached up to cup the box with him, placing your hands over his
"You didn't have to-"
"Shh" he cut you off, his cheeks flushed a tinted pink as he softly smiled down at you. You delicately took the necklace from the box, placing it in the palm of your hand as you examined it closer.
"Turn it over" he whispered, and you obeyed. You felt tears brim your eyes as you read the engraved part in the infinity symbol, feeling Niall's eyes on you as you did so.
'Niall and Isabella, to infinity and beyond' is what it read
"Niall it's beautiful, I can't ever thank you enough for this" I mumbled, flipping it back over as I looked up to him with wide eyes. Your eyes met his, before his dropped to get the necklace from your hands
"Just a kiss or two will do. I love spoiling my girl, that's all" he shrugged, using his guitar calloused fingers to try and open the clasp on the necklace. You brought your finger up to lift up his chin, and he watched confused as you brought your lips to his as a way to say thank you.
You pulled away, taking the necklace from him and unclipping it. You have it back to Niall as he stood up, stretching his body from the uncomfortable position on the couch all night. You got up as well, Niall's hand resting on your waist as he turned you around. He brushed the hair away from your neck, pushing it all to one side. He placed the necklace on you, clipping it and leaving a kiss on the center of your neck. You shivered at the warm feeling of his lips before turning around, wrapping your arms around his neck
"I love you" you smiled brightly, your hands playing with the hairs at the nape of his neck
"I love you, baby girl" he spoke, his hands resting just above your bum as he brought you in for a passionate kiss. His tongue licked your bottom lip for entrance though you denied. So when his hands went to swat at your bum, you just smiled instead of gasping since you knew that was coming. That was always his way for you to let him in.
"Someone's naughty today" you shook your head, making a tsk noise. Niall chuckled, grabbing your hand as you started to walk away. He pulled you back into his chest, pecking your lips quickly
"Don't want to be on santas naughty list now do you?" You giggled, slapping his bum
"I'm already there with all the things I've done to you in the bedroom" he winked, causing your face to heat. You pulled away, taking his hand with yours as you went upstairs to change to leave.
"Cmon lover boy, let's go get our turkey on"
~~
"Wow I fuckin' love this time of year" Niall mumbled, mouth full of food. You laughed loudly, taking a napkin and reaching over to wipe the crumbs off of Niall's lips. He looked up at you with big eyes, his cheeks turning a slight shade of red as he just realized that he was probably being rude by stuffing his face.
This was the second of five courses. Yes you heard right, 5.( yeah my grandma actually does 5 courses for all 14 cousins, 10 aunts and uncles, 4 great uncles and her.. Damnnn) the first course is antipasto, a classic Italian appetizer. Also cheese, bread, Italian ham and salami(😍) the second is pasta, third is soup, fourth is the main course such as turkey, mashed potato, stuffing. Last is desserts, like pumpkin pie, cookies, cupcakes, coffee, and apple pie. (We're fat)
"Nonna, you are a legend" he shouted down the table, resulting in my grandma letting out an adorable laugh (Nonna is Italian for grandma)
"You're precious" she giggled at him. He smiled big so that his dimples were showing, his cheeks pink due to the fact that it was boiling hot in here. His nice blue sweater complimented his eyes making them pop more, he was wearing that along with his tan khakis and nice brown boots.
"Suck up" you whispered into his ear, giggling as you watched his head snap over to you with his eyebrows furrowed
"No! I just love how your grandma cooks!" He pouted. You kissed his pouting lips, hearing a giggle come from next to you
"You guys are so perfect I watch to kill myself" your girl cousin that was two years older than you whined.
"You'll find someone. I never thought I would get someone as great as him" you smiled reassuringly, motioning over to Niall who had somehow gotten pasta sauce on his nose. You and your cousin laughed as Niall stayed there clueless, munching away. You wiped off the sauce, Niall kissing your cheek and mumbling about how much you saved him from all the embarrassing situations he gets himself into
"Damn the Packers are winning!" Your boy cousin who was 7 years older than you shouted. ( mind you I am the middle cousin of 14. So there's 7 older and 6 younger😝) everyone stood up and walked to the living room, taking seats on the couches and on the floor all over the room. Everyone but the little kids was in here, and this was just how you loved it
"That guy sucks ass" Niall , causing your 2 of your older boy cousins to look to him
"You hate him too?" He smiled, coming over to sit down next to Niall as they started a conversation about a football player they hated. You rolled your eyes but smiled, happy that Niall got along with your family so well
"Niall and Isabella! Your turn for the dishes!" Your aunt called. You groaned as you stood up, grabbing Niall's hand and taking him to the kitchen over to the dish washer.
"OOOOOOHHHH!!" You jumped surprised as everyone in the other room screamed, the Patriots scoring a touch down
"GET IT!" Someone shouted, causing you to go into a fit of giggles
"No I missed it" Niall pouted, using a towel to dry off the dishes you handed to him that you washed
"Hey you get to hang out with the cool kid" you grinned, bumping your hip into his. He rolled his eyes get a smile was evident on his face. He smacked your butt with the towel, causing you to let out a Yelp in surprise
"Hey!" Someone shouted. Me and Niall turned around slowly, looking to the table to see my two uncles looking at us.
"What do you think you're doing there boy? Hitting our niece like that?" One of them questioned, hands crossed over his chest. This uncle was a police officer...you know not to mess with him
"Oh um s-sorry sir I was just playing around" Niall stuttered, scratching the back of his neck and playing with the ends of his hair
"You better be. You know since your married now we have to give you some leeway, so you're forgiven" your other uncle smiled. You knew they were just teasing, Niall however found it petrifying. He faked a laugh, turning back around and taking a step closer to me
"Love how your ass jiggled when I did that" you gasped, smacking him as you let out a loud laugh
"Niall!" You laughed out, handing him a dish
"That dress looks beautiful on you princess" he complimented, pecking your cheek so you knew he was telling the truth. You were wearing a dark green dress that hugged your top half then flowed at just above your knees.
"You look very handsome yourself" you returned the compliment. He mumbled a thanks as you two were quiet for a moment or two, listening to the old classic music that was playing on the speaker near the sink so only you two could hear. Occasionally Niall would him along, do a little dance since your uncles had moved to the other room and now it was just you two.
A jazzy song came on and Niall grabbed your soapy hands, bringing you to the empty part of the kitchen as you both twisted your hips jumped all around, pretending to do actual dance moves. You couldn't stop laughing as Niall wiggled his ass around, his arms flailing all over the place as he tapped his foot to the beat. He grabbed your hand, spinning you into his chest as he took your hand in his, the other holding your waist as your other held his shoulder. You both danced around until the song sadly came to a stop, both of you huffing as you tried to catch your breath. You leaned back against the refrigerator, Niall's hands on either side of you as he smashed his lips onto yours, the adrenaline from dancing still coursing through both your bodies. You pulled him by his belt loops as close to you as possible, your lips moving together in sync.
When you pulled apart he rested his forehead onto yours, breathing against your lips
"Get to work you two" you suddenly heard, you both jumping at the sudden voice. Your grandma smirked at you two as she walked into the kitchen, towel in hand as she smacked the both of you upside the head with the towel. You laughs echoed around the room as you realized she was probably watching that whole time.
-2 courses and 2 hours later-
"I got it I got it!" Niall screamed, catching the football and running to the touchdown zone
"Get him!!" You shouted, running over to try and tackle Niall with your team. Unfortunately Niall had gotten the touchdown, leaving the score 21-21. It was the little boys and Niall versus the little girls and you. Now mind you the oldest of them was 15, youngest was 5 so this was actually super cute.
"He cheated!" I proclaimed to no one, pointing at Niall as he stuck his tongue out at me
"And that should be a foul!" I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest
"How's it feel to lose to your husband!" Liam, your younger cousin laughed. You glared at him, turning around to get all your younger cousins into a huddle
"Alright girls. We're gonna show them our girl power. Tackle them, push them out of the way, but more importantly- get Niall" you ordered. They all nodded and giggled, breaking away and going to their positions spread out in the front yard
"Hike!" I shouted, receiving the ball and throwing it to my cousin, Molly. She caught the ball and ran for the zone, Niall catching up close behind her. I ran as fast as I could in my dress and boots, laughing at myself as I attempted to do this. I eventually reached Niall and wrapped an arm around his waist, flinging him to the side and catching him off guard as he stumbled back a bit. I turned and watched Molly cross the line, indicated we had just gotten more points
"Yes!" I cried out, running over to hug her, soon the others joining our hug
"Dessert!" My aunt shouted from the door. Everyone ran inside, Niall catching my waist like I had done to him just a minute ago.
"My girl likes to play dirty huh? Pushing me over like that" he whispered into my ear as I nuzzles into his body as we walked to the door
"What can I say? You married a toughy" I showed my arm muscles, Niall's laugh echoing throughout the street
"It's hot when you get like that" he admitted, opening the door for me and ushering me in
"It's hot when your hair is all over the place" I replied, fixing his hair back up into a quiff as we went to go sit down for our desserts. Everyone was already seated and talking about anything and everything. I grabbed a slice of pumpkin pie and a cookie along with a cupcake, while Niall just had a piece of pie. Strange.
"That's all you're having Ni?" I asked, pointing to his dish. He leaned in closer to my ear, his hot breath fanning my neck as he whispered
"I already told you this morning...dessert, is you"
Let's just say that this thanksgiving was definitely the best, from start to finish.
