Sweeter Than A Cupcake (Niall)
“Niall!”
“Niall!”
“NIALL JAMES HORAN! THE BATTER IS FOR THE CUPCAKES!”
“But it’s so delicious!” he blabbered through a mouth full of whipped cream as well. He was leaning over the sink (thankfully) with a can of the whipped cream in one hand and a handful of dark chocolate chips in the other. His face was smothered with food products ranging from peanut butter and sprinkles to butterscotch and nutella.
“Oh my god, I’m dealing with a two year old,” Haley groaned and removed trays for the cupcakes they were supposed to make. She placed them on the kitchen counter and looked at her boyfriend of almost four months. He had the image of Niall Horan, uber sexy blonde hottie of One Direction but take away the guitar and replace it with food and you would definitely need a bib for the big baby.
“A very cute two year old though, right?” he asked cheekily but his teeth were covered with the chocolate he was scarfing down.
“Yes Niall, very cute,” she agreed, trying to bite her tongue to keep from laughing while he grinned in satisfaction. “Kind of like a rabbit,” she added.
“Hey!” He whined through another mouthful of food.
She kissed him, snatched away the food and laughed at his pouty face. “Let’s get to work Horan, or we’re never getting any cupcakes ready for Harry’s party.” He groaned and she chuckled, starting to measure the flour.
“You are so sexy when you get all bossy Hales,” he suddenly whispered in her ear from behind with his arms around her waist. She felt a shiver run down her spine. The bugger knew exactly what to do.
Haley took a deep breath, “Nice try smarty pants. Now, go get me the vanilla essence.”
“Aw, damn I was so close!” he cried in defeat and began to walk away. Haley snuck a look at him and resisted the urge to jump over his retreating figure.
Four months had passed and still their relationship was just like it was when they got together. The stolen glances when no one was looking, the random texting during any time of the day, the constant touching whenever they were together, it was like the honeymoon period was never going to end. Louis had given up on telling them to control the PDA whenever they were together because they always ignored him and Harry and Zayn had stopped cracking jokes and teasing them because it only seemed to get them even mushier. Even Liam, who was the level headed of them all, was visibly tired of all the ‘you hang up’ ‘no, you hang up first’ conversations to the point where he once snatched Niall’s phone and pressed the call end button himself.
“Ok, I got it, but I also got some cookies because I’m hungry.”
By now Haley had learned that her boyfriend was always hungry and it was best not to ask him about it. So she continued to mix the batter she was making for the cupcakes. She decided she was going to make two flavours – chocolate, because it was Niall’s favourite and vanilla, because it was Harry’s favourite.
“So,” Niall asked, munching on an Oreo, “what do you want me to do princess?”
Haley’s tongue was stuck out in concentration because she didn’t want to drop any of the batter. “Well,” she said, “you can start with trying not to eat anything.”
Her hair was in a bun but it kept coming out of it somehow and no amount of blowing was making any difference. Niall reached out to tuck that strand of hair behind her ear and proceeded to kiss her on her forehead.
