A.M. (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter Forty Six

*Not edited*

Two weeks later

Niall's P.O.V.

Darcy rested her head on my shoulder as my arms surrounded her protectively. I sighed pulling her closer to me. I could never get used to holding her close to me. It feels like a dream. After all, all I dreamt was that Darcy confessing her love to me and it happened. Just like that, she just said it. Sometimes I couldn't believe it that I'll tell her to say it again. She would look me in the eye and whisper 'I love you'. I would grin widely and envelope her in a huge hug. She will chuckle softly and hug me back tightly.

I got discharged from the hospital this morning. It is a relief to finally get out from that place. It was luxurious, I should admit. But sitting in the same bed all the time, eating, medicines and sleeping was kind of a boring hell. But having Darcy around was really great. After she confessed her love to me, it was even better. But most of the time she has to leave since the boys had a lot interview to attend to, thanks to me.

We are driving back from the hospital; and we means: Me, Darcy, Harry, Rose, Liam -who never keeps his phone down, he is texting and giggling constantly, we all think that he is seeing someone- and finally Lou, who is decided that it would be best if he sits in the front seat because me and Darcy are sitting in the middle but was unable to since Harry is driving the car and Rose is sitting beside him. So, Liam and Louis took the back seat which leaves a lot of space for me and Darcy.

"Drop us at Darcy's apartment, Harry, will you?" I asked him.

"Sure mate" he said, his eyes on the road but he was grinning widely for some reason, and it is not unusual since Rose is sitting beside him. I looked at Darcy and took her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers. She looked up at me with a smile. I returned it and she pecked my lips softly. I cupped her face as she pulled away instantly. I took some time to examine her features. Her hair was slightly messed up and her soft pink lips parted. Her cheeks were a slight tint of pink and I brushed my thumb softly across her cheeks and then her lips to savor the moment.

She blinked as I traced her lips with my thumb. She puckered her lips and pressed a kiss to my thumb and I chuckled. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered at her simple loving gesture.

I leaned down and kissed her again and this time was disturbed by Harry.

"Here we are" he grinned looking back at us. I nodded.

"Thank you, Harry. See you all later tonight at the party guys, bye" I said opening the door and getting out. Harry is throwing a party tonight as he promised. He invited lots of friends since it is not a formal welcome back party. Just a party. I helped Darcy get down after she bid goodbye to everyone.

"Take care, Niall. Oops, no. Darcy, take care of Niall" Rose smirked, to which Darcy blushed furiously. I put my arms around her defensively and smirked.

"That reminds me, Rose. Take care of Harry" I winked.

"Thank you mate" Harry yelled and Rose playfully smacked his arm.

I waited patiently as Darcy unlocked her apartment door.

"Why are you so silent?" she questioned me as she pushed open her door. I smiled shaking my head. We went inside and I closed the door behind us. She removed her jacket and let it drop on the coffee table before she turned to look at me. "You need anything?" she asked me, making her way towards me.

"Actually, I need to talk to you" I sighed looking down. I took my bottom lip between my teeth before looking up at her. Her face held a curious expression. I sighed again.

I have to do this.

Come on, Niall. You can. Just ask her.

I took her hand in mine and she still held that curious expression. I smiled lightly pulling her closer to me. She gave me a confused expression. I snaked my arms around her waist and held her close to me.

"Relax" I smiled and she nodded.

"I don't wanna scare you off or anything but I really need to ask you this, okay?" she nodded her head again, gesturing me to continue.

"I'm really in love with you, Darcy and no one had ever made me feel like the way you make me feel. I'm sorry if its cliché but that is really how I feel. I don't wanna beat around the bush, so let me just ask you this" I said and took a deep breath.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" I asked her and the expression her face held immediately made me regret everything I said. She looked shocked and I cursed myself mentally before letting her go.

"I-I can understand if-if you don't want to" I stuttered.

You are an idiot, Niall. This is so not romantic. I should've taken her out on a dinner first.

"Niall-"she started raising her hand towards me but I cut her off.

"Its okay, Darcy. I understand. Don't worry about it" I brushed her off.

"Niall, listen to me" she said taking a step towards me.

"Please don't pretend for me, Darce" I said biting my lip and looking down. The look on her face when I asked her still remained before my eyes and I refused to look up at her.

"Shit, Niall" she said pulling me by my collar. I was taken aback by her sudden aggressiveness. She crashed her lips on mine, kissing me forcefully. I wanted to kiss her back but I didn't. This side of Darcy I have never seen and definitely could get used to. Only if she wants to be with me, of course. I pulled back with all might and stared at her wordlessly.

"I would love to be your girlfriend, Niall" she breathed and kissed me again and this time I kissed her back.

I again pulled back this time. "Why did you look at me like that?" I asked her.

"Like what?" she asked and I sighed.

"You look shocked or something. Like you didn't except me to ask you such a thing" I looked down biting my lip but kept my arms around her anyway.

"I didn't except you to ask it, to be honest" she sighed. "I was surprised not shocked but that doesn't mean that I would turn you down" she said and I raised my head and looked at her. She smiled and I smiled back.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna force you" I said.

"I really want to be your girlfriend, Niall" she said running her fingers through my hair.

"I would love to be your boyfriend, baby girl" I grinned brushing my lips against hers. She chuckled.

"Boyfriend? That sounds good" she smiled.

"I love you so much, babe"

"I love you too Niall. So so much"
