It's Complicated

Prologue:

The snow crunched under my scruffy boots; soaking through to my tights. I wrapped my coat tighter around me, shivering furiously. Suddenly, I saw him, a shock of blonde hair poking out the top of a black duffel coat.

"You came..." he breathed into the icy air. I nodded, pressing my lips into a thin line. His finger traced from my cheek down onto my jaw. My body flooded with warmth at a single touch off of him. 

"Niall..." I whispered, tears clouding my vision.

"I know..." he cut me off. His lips crashed to mine and although I resisted with every bone in my body, I responded to him, kissing him back with all my might, as try as I might, I loved this boy more than anything in the world and I didn't care what stupid mistake he'd made. I needed him.

"I... I love you Niall..." I gasped for air as he pulled away, our foreheads resting. 

"I love you too Poppy..." he replied.

"Don't say that,"

"Don't say what?" he said quickly.

"Don't say 'too' it makes it sound like you don't mean it!" I explained.

"Fine... I love you Poppy Styles, always have and always will!" he gripped my waist tightly and spun me in the air as I giggled and shrieked. The snow was falling heavier and heavier by the minute and my body was numb with cold, but I didn't have a care in the world. Not a care in the world.
