Amber's POV:
It was around ten o'clock now and I had told Lilli about our plans for the day. Niall was going to come over and then spend the night on the sofa, or in her room if she wanted. She was more than excited to she her father and so was I, oddly enough.
I told her he'd be arriving around noon so she had to get dressed and be ready for when he got here. She scurried off to her bedroom after she ate her breakfast and blasted her favorite CD: Up All Night. Her favorite song was Gotta Be You because she liked to sing Harry's part; she was very talented at it too.
I hopped in the shower and cleaned my hair. I had to be super careful because if I fell, I'd be screwed; Lilli was too small to help me up. Once I got out safely, I blew my hair dry and got dressed. I slipped into a pair of yoga leggings and a loose fitting, grey tee shirt. I french braided my hair into a ponytail and put a little bit of make-up on.
Niall knocked on the door at about 11:30 a.m. and had a cardboard coffee holder in his hands wtih three coffee cups in it. "Hey," he greated me, glancing down at my stomach that was growing each day. "I brought everyone hot chocolate." His eyes smiled at me and lit up when he saw Lilli coming from her bedroom.
"Hi Daddy!" I quickly took the hot chocolates from his hands as Lilli pounced on him; he picked her up and she rested on his hip. The majority of the day was spent in the living room. Lilli and him played on the floor while I watched over from the sofa. We watched a few movies as well.
My cell phone started to go off and I asked Lilli to grab it off of the kitchen table for me. Once she saw it was Isabella, she flipped out and answered it for me. I heard her scream and shout and beg to sleepover her house. I twisted my face and debated; I really didn't want to spend the night alone with Niall. Then again, how many times did Lilli get to spend the night at Mickey's?
"Alright, fine. Let me talk to Isabella, though." We talked for a few minutes while Lilli got her stuff together. She said that it was fine for Lilli to spend the night over at their flat and then hang out with Mickey the next day. Once Lilli had an overnight bag packed, I laced on my TOMS boots and tossed on a light jacket because it was still raining outside. "Want to take a ride?" I chuckled at Niall.
"Sure, sounds like fun. Want me to drive?" I got up and stood real close to my face. I felt his cool breath spreading across my cheek bones and I bit my tongue. I nodded at him though; it'd probably be best if he drove. They were about ten minutes away from us so we were there by dinner time "Love you, Lilli-Bear!" Niall screamed to her as I walked her up to the front door.
I knocked on the glass of the door and Mickey answered within seconds; she stole my Lilli from me just as fast. I barely had enough time to hug and kiss her goodbye. Isabella came to the door to chat with me. Her eyes wandered behind me and saw Niall in the driver's seat of my car. "What are you doing, Amber?"
"It's nothing. Liam is at his parent's house and I invited him over. If I knew Lilli was leaving, I wouldn't of asked him to come over." I crossed my arms and let them rest on my bump. "It's nothing, I swear." She saw in my eyes that I was lying, but gave me a squeeze goodbye anyway.
I walked back down her front steps and climbed back into the car with Niall. "Hey, you hungry?"
"Of course I am!" I laughed a littled and so did he.
"I know the perfect place." He drove me to a little, casual diner and we ate in there. I can't believe after all my years of living in London, I've never been here. We were in and out within and hour and a half. When we got back to the flat, I unlocked the door and walked inside with him next to me. It was weird to think that this used to be his and now it wasn't.
You could feel the awkwardness slap you in the face as we wandered to the sofa. "So?" He murmured to me. I sat on the sofa, facing him, but on the other side.
"So?" This was going to be a long night, but I was glad I got to spend some time with him. I liked not sharing Niall with anyone again. Maybe I could play this card to my advantage and build up our friendship again; I hope so.
