You and Me (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Nicole's POV:

I wake up the next morning from the sun shining on my face through my bedroom window. Ericka had slept over last night because she was too tired to go home so we knocked out right when we came through the front door. I didn't notice Ericka anywhere on the bed so I sat up and realized she had apparently fallen on the floor sometime last night. I laughed to myself at the sight of her still sleeping against the carpeted floors still probably unaware that she shifted from the bed. I got out of bed and covered Ericka with a small blanket and headed downstairs to get started on breakfast. It felt nice to wake up to another person in the house. It was usually quiet. I decided to make pancakes so I gathered all the ingredients onto the kitchen table and began to make the batter. As soon as it was completely mixed, I poured the batter onto the pan. After I finished three pancakes Ericka came through the hall wrapped in the blanket I had placed on her.

"Good morning sleepy head." I greeted her.

"Why was I on the floor? My back is killing me." she groaned.

"I guess you fell off the bed in the middle of the night" I laughed. "Must've been tired after your date with Harry yesterday."

"Well I did have a good time. How was your date with Niall?" she asked while taking a seat on the stools near the kitchen counter,

"Umm-"

"Don't hold back, I want to know everything!" she interrupted.

"Well first of all, it wasn't a date. We were just simply accompanying each other at the beach. And second, we did the same thing you guys did. We swam in the water together, then got to know each other around the bonfire.....And." I began to smirk.

"And what??"

"He kissed me on the cheek." I blushed. Ericka let out a shriek which startled me a bit but I couldn't help but smile as I continued to make pancakes.

"Really??? Then what did you guys do after?"

"He just said that he would 'see me soon.'" I said while acting out the quotation marks with my hands. I kinda felt like screaming too. We were like little girls jumping for joy over candy or new toys. The funny thing is, it wasn't sweets or a new doll, it was a boy. A boy I had only met a few days ago and I am already growing feelings for him. Or at least I think I was? Was I looking at this the wrong way? I barely knew him. 

"Anyway, how are you and Harry?" I say trying to change the subject.

"It's going great so far! He actually wants us to go out again. You and Niall can come with!" she gasps. "We can go on a double date!"

I giggle at the excitement building from her. "IF we go on another date."

"Oh I think you can count on it." Ericka winks while walking into another room. I smile and finish making our breakfast.

Niall's POV:

I wake up to the smell of bacon filling up my room. The rumbling of my stomach was enough to tell me that I was hungry. I got out of bed and grabbed a shirt before heading downstairs. Different dishes to eat from were placed atop our long wooden dining table. My dad was sitting at the end while my mom was on the right of him. I took a seat on the other side of my dad, directly across from my mom as one of our maids settled my plate and utensils in front of me. I guess you could say my family wasn't necessarily normal, and that goes for our relationships as well. My mom was the one who I could always turn to. She always made me feel cared and loved for and supported me on anything I set my mind to. My dad on the other hand had a more hard, rough personality. He never hurt me, but you could say that he cared more about his business and the money he makes. So you can imagine that we rarely have things to talk about. So we basically ate in silence, besides the small talk my mother tries to initiate between us. As soon as I finish eating I walk back into my bedroom and check my phone and see a text from Harry.
