This Love (Niall fanfiction)

chapter 44

Cleo's P.O.V -

"Babe, wake up." A deep voice is heard.

"Cleo." I feel someone poking at my cheek. I shrug it off and flip the other way continuing my nap. I hear a door close and mine open.

"Wake up. We're here." Niall starts placing kisses all over my face making my smile and groan at him.

I didn't feel like getting out of the car, I was way too cozy to move. I turn my back to Niall making me face the opposite way. I was considering getting out of the car until Niall had lifted me up 'bridal style' and carried me out of the car.

Niall's strength seemed to always amaze me. He never hesitated whenever it came to lifting me. Although, it really annoyed the hell out of me.

He carried me as if it were nothing. I wasn't overweight, but I wasn't underweight either. So, I guess that could have something to do with it.

"I know you're awake." He said. I opened my eyes and smiled avoiding eye contact with him. I knew he was looking down at me. I felt my cheeks heat up so I hide my face in his chest.

"I like making you blush." he says still walking with me in his arms. Niall slows down his walking pace a little making me look up at him. He comes to a complete stop in front of the door.

"Don't put me down! I'm not wearing any shoes!" I say putting my arm around his neck to prevent me from touching the ground. I look around the corner of the beach house and see an electric blue ocean and warm looking sand. It gets me excited because I'm far away from my uncle for one and two, I'm here with Niall. Just me and him.

Niall went through all of this trouble with me just to protect me from Peter. I started to smile like an idiot at Niall. I didn't even realize I was staring at him until he spun me around trying to get my attention. He couldn't tap me on the nose like he normally would because he was still holding me.

"Cleo!"

"Wha- what?" I snap back into reality.

"I've been telling you to get the keys out of my back pocket and unlock the door." he says laughing.

I'm surprised he hasn't dropped me yet. I reach my hand from around his neck and near his back pocket. I pinch his bum before I insert my hand in the black pouch.

"Don't touch my butt unless you want me to touch yours." Niall says jolting forward a bit, resulting in me giggling.

"Oops." I say sporting a cheeky grin looking back up at him.

I got the keys out of his pocket and stuck them in the door.

"Move closer to the door." I say straining my arm spand out to the handle. My arms are too short.

Once it's open we go inside and he bends over, making my feet make contact with the cold tile. Niall goes outside and I walk down the hallway. On the right there is a staircase with a balcony hovering above my head. I don't go up the stairs, I just keep looking around without moving.

I hear the door slam shut, making me look down the hallway. I see Niall with his back leaning against the door sighing deeply.

"Why did you pack so much stuff?!" He says barely laughing coming closer to me.

"I'm a girl. I have to pack a lot of stuff." I said watching him decrease the space between us. Niall wraps his arms around my lower waist. There's no space between us now and I have to remember to relax.

He isn't going to hurt you.

It's difficult to think straight knowing why we came here in the first place.
