It's Sunday, I hate Sundays. I slowly got up and walked into the bathroom, starting to brush my teeth. Once I was done with my business I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed an orange and leftover pizza from the fridge. I set everything on a plate and started eating. I couldn't get Niall off my mind, I know we just met but there is something about him. Wherever he goes he has on a smile, a real one. He's just so happy and full of joy, I want to be like him one day. I want to be able to move on and forget, I want to forget everything that happened to me. But I can't, and I don't think I ever will.

I changed into something more appropriate and decided to curl my hair today. I applied some make up and decided it was good enough. My phone started ringing so I quickly picked it up. "Hello?" I said. "Hey! It's Julie, I'm in Time Square with Niall and Harry, do you wanna come?" She asked, I had nothing planned and it sounded like a good time. Plus, I got to spend more time with Niall. "Sure, ill be there in ten minutes." I replied and hung up. I grabbed my purse and walked out, going inside the elevator. I greeted the man at the front desk and walked out of the lobby. I walked all the way to Time Square, it was a nice work out. Everyone was sitting by a coffee shop waiting for me, I greeted everyone and took a seat between Niall and Harry, Julie across from me. "Niall wouldn't shut up about you." Harry chuckled, making Niall blush, which was the cutest thing ever. "Aw that's so sweet." I replied, trying not to humiliate him any further.

Soon everyone left, leaving me and Niall alone together. "Im going to Miami Beach tomorrow for a week, do you wanna come?" Niall offered. I thought about it for a moment, was he asking me to go on vacation with him? I don't think I could do it, he's an amazing person but I have work and it's in the middle of September. It's actually quite hot in Miami so maybe it will be fun, spending an entire week with Niall. I over think too much, I need to get to the point. Am I going or not? "That sounds fun, maybe I can get a week off from work." I replied with a smile. We talked for hours, just getting to know each other. I think I'm growing feelings for him, but this needs to stop. I just can't like him that way, Ill just get hurt again. I can't go through all the pain again. I had to leave after a while, we said our goodbyes and I walked home. I laid in bed after calling Madam L, she accepted my request for a one week break. I changed into my pajamas and went to bed, too tired to do anything even though it was only eight thirty.

I woke up in the morning to the sound of the ringing doorbell. I quickly got up to answer, it was just Niall with his beach things. "Morning!" He said with a smile as i rubbed my eyes, still a bit sleepy. "Morning, come in." I said with a smile. "Did I wake you?" He asked, laying his things on the table and taking a seat on the couch. He had an adorable concerned look on his face like he actually cared. "Boots fine, you can watch TV while I get ready." I replied, walking into my bedroom. I packed some clothing and beach essentials like sun screen, then I changed into something warm. It may be hot in Florida but it's freezing right now in New York. Once everything was packed I brushed my hair and let it flow down. I walked back into the living room, ready to go. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded in reply. We took the elevator downstairs and got in Niall's car. He had a nice black jeep. He helped me put everything in the trunk and got back in the car with me. He flashed me a quick smile before turning the engine on and starting the car.

After eight hours of driving and ten stops at the gas station we finally made it to Miami. Niall rented us a hotel and we quickly got in the room. I noticed there was only one bed but tried to ignore it. I laid on the bed, tired from the trip. Niall laid next to me, trying to sleep also. I turned to face him, a bit confused. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Sleeping?" He replied back. "But I'm sleeping here. Niall we can't sleep together." I stated. "Calm down nothing is going to happen, I'm just resting, nothing wrong with that." He said with a chuckle. I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes. Ignoring the fact that I'm currently sleeping with Niall Horan.

I felt a strong grip on my waist, I got up, noticing how Niall was cuddled next to me. He was truly adorable. I stretched my arms and got out of Niall's embrace, walking into the bathroom. I changed into a simple white tank top and my jean shorts, putting my hair in a messy bun. "Maria?" Niall asked, rubbing his eyes as he got up. "I didn't want to wake you up so I went ahead and changed." I said with a smile, he smiled back. "Do you want to go to the beach first or go shopping or something?" He asked, stretching his arms. "It's morning and I haven't eaten since we got here, I want food." I said, rubbing my stomach. "I love food! Let's go eat then!" He said, way too excited as he ran out the door, holding it for me. I let out a giggle as I followed him.

After eating we shopped for a while, then decided to walk on the beach without shoes on when it was 8:39. "I love the way the sand feels when I step on it." I said, closing my eyes and breathing in slowly. "I know, it's so calming." Niall replied back. I looked at him for a moment, getting lost in his eyes once again, too busy to notice how close we were to each other. He leaned in, was he going to kiss me? I quickly backed away, he did too. Thanks to me it was awkward now. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." Niall explained, he is so caring. "No, it's not your fault. It's just that...I'm not ready yet." I replied, I wasn't ready yet, and I don't know if I will be. I'm scared to love again and if I get too close to Niall I will fall in love and get hurt, and I can't let that happen to me again. "I understand." He said, giving me a real smile, not a fake one to make me feel better. Niall was truly amazing, there were no words to describe him. I can't let the feelings I have for him grow.

We walked along the beach for a little more, talking and cracking a couple jokes. It was getting late and we had to walk back to the hotel. I changed into my pajamas in the bathroom and walked back into the bedroom to find Niall shirtless. "Are you gonna put anything on..or..?" I asked, pointing to his bare chest. "Why? Am I distracting you?" He said with a grin on his face, making me blush. "No, just wondering." I replied, getting under the covers of the bed, Niall doing the same. Sleeping with him wasn't as awkward as I thought it to be, it was like sleeping with Louis.
