Chapter Nine

When I woke up I started to panic. Where was I? I looked around and then remembered that I stayed at Niall's! I took in a calm breath and saw the alarm clock that read 6:25. It was too early but I couldn't fall back asleep now. I brushed my hair and teeth, then went down stairs. I heard someone singing and banging in the kitchen. I peeked around the corner and saw a shirtless Niall over the stove singing along with the radio. I slowly walked behind him and covered his eyes.

"Guess who?"

"Let me guess an angel?"

"Wrong!"

I let him turn around and he had a smile on his face.

"Nope! I was right!"

I just shook my head but then my attention went to his lips and then back to his eyes. I walked away to the couch and turned the TV on.

"Niall Horan spotted with newest makeup artist, Hope Preston, at an IHop in LA. Could this be the beginning of a relationship?"

I rolled my eyes and switched the channel. The Vow was playing and it was at the scene where they were exchanging vows and I got teary eyes.

"You okay?"

I quickly wiped the tears and turned the TV off. I nodded but then Niall came and sat next to me.

"Why are you crying?"

"I just miss somebody."

I really did miss Jeremy. No matter how mean he could be to me, I still loved him and he still is my fiancée. I just wasn't sure if being together right now was the best thing. He always seemed to be busy and even when he wasn't we never acted like a couple. I wanted to cuddle, kiss, and go on dates. While he wanted to watch soccer, got to clubs, and sleep. We just grew apart since high school. He would open doors and kiss me on the forehead and tell me everything's alright in high school but now he'll expect me to clean and make dinner for him, when he's actually around.

"Hope? Still here?"

Niall was shaking me and I just looked straight at him.

"Yeah?"

"You were zoned out!"

"Oh sorry!"

"I asked if you wanted some eggs?"

"Y-yeah!"

"Their ready if you want them!"

I got up with Niall and ate my eggs.

"Well, I'm gonna go get dressed and you should too, today's our last day before our tour begins!"

"Right!"

Niall got up and I did too. I threw on a pair of white shorts, white tank top, and a navy blue shirt that had a big white anchor on it and hung off one shoulder. After straightening my hair, I braided my bangs and pinned them to the side. I applied white eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara before Niall yelled that it was time to go. I slipped on some white lace TOMS and grabbed my bag. I walked down stairs and saw an open mouthed Niall.

"You look beautiful!"

His eyes scanned my body and I blushed.

"Thanks. Shouldn't we go!"

"Oh yeah!"

I walked past him and we both got into his car.
