Climbing the Walls (a Niall Horan love story)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20







*Dani's P.O.V.*


I was so anxious and excited for my date with Harry, I could hardly contain myself. Don't you love how that sounds, 'my date with Harry'? Wow, I've haven't had it this bad for a guy since... well, ever. Was this what it felt like when you met the love of your life? I had only loved one guy before in my life, and that took a while. This was like a punch in the gut, unexpected and incredibly forceful. I mean seriously, he had me pacing the floor until three in the morning last night, fantasizing about how our date would go and where he would take me. I figured Harry had already told Haley, but I texted her as soon as I woke up anyways. Oh yeah, I woke up at seven. Yep, I got four hours of sleep. Yet I was still so hyped up and awake. Thank god I didn't have bags under my eyes. That would've been horrible.

I heard my phone buzz from my bed. My heart leapt hoping it was Harry, but I was still happy when I saw Haley's contact name flash on my screen. Finally! Only took her three and a half hours to reply! God, that girl can sleep. I opened up the message, smiling at her reply to my wonderful news.

Haleykinz = My Fuckin Sexy Wife: Ik, he told me! Well, zayn did... lol eee thts 2 cute!

Me: Come over! U need 2 help me pick out my outfit!

Haleykinz = My Fuckin Sexy Wife: Ok, ok, god I just got up. Gimme an hour, half if u feed me(:

Me: Fine, u can have my fridge, just get ur hungry ass over here!!

Haleykinz = My Fuckin Sexy Wife: lol kkz(;


I threw my phone back down on my bed, squealing and bouncing like a retard. How was I going to spend the next half hour? Well, I suppose I could pace around my room obsessively thinking of Harry while blasting my Favorite Songs playlist like I had been doing for the past three hours...

Yeah, that sounded like a good plan. I smiled as the first chords of Stole My Heart started, dancing around like a spastic fish out of water. I really can't dance, but oh well. It honestly didn't even qualify as dancing; I was basically just flailing my limbs around happily to music being played.

"Nice song choice," a familiar accent came from my doorway. I spun around embarrassedly to face an amused Zayn Malik. I blushed, standing completely still. Oh god, how long had he been there? He chuckled a bit, making me blush even harder. "By the way, Haley's downstairs clearing out all of your food," he informed me before leaving to go help Derek some more. Aw, I thought bittersweetly, knowing how Derek felt about him. But then I rolled my eyes, remembering that there was a Haley downstairs stealing my food supply. I descended the staircase, finding her chewing a frozen Eggo blueberry waffle. I rolled my eyes and got one out of our newly installed refrigerator as well.

"Morning!" she chirped happily, smiling at me knowingly. I smiled back, breaking off a piece of the frozen breakfast treat with my teeth.

"Oh, hey there," I mumbled back through a mouthful of deliciousness. She rolled her eyes at my lack of manners, getting used to it by now. Once we had both finished up or waffles, I immediately dragged her upstairs and into my room. "Okay, so I need serious help," I said frantically, forcing her into my closet which I had already organized.

"Yes you do," she responded jokingly. I smirked at her and she smiled back at me cheekily. I rolled my eyes. Oh Haley.

"Haha," I replied sarcastically. "But seriously! What am I going to wear?" I questioned, on the verge of panicking. She seemed surprised and slightly amused. I just gave her a desperate look.

"Wow, I've never seen you like this. Hmm, well, Hazz isn't that hard to please if he really likes you, which believe me, he does. But he informed me of his master plan this morning, so-"

"You know where he's taking me?" I asked excitedly. It was about time this torturous wondering came to an end! But she just made a 'zipping her lips' gesture. I glared at her and she put her hands up in mock defense.

"Sorry!" she apologized, "I'm under oath. Besides, wouldn't want to ruin the surprise!" I had to smile, her happiness was contagious. Plus, I really didn't want to ruin the surprise, thinking about it. The surprise was half the fun of it! Not to mention it added a serious romance factor. I sighed and let her go on. "So anyways, I think this would be cute and appropriate." She selected a simple light mauve sundress that scrunched at the waist and had subtle ruffles at the top.

"Oh yeah, I forgot I even had that," I said, examining the dress. It was simple, but pretty. I considered it, liking it more every second.

"You're wearing it," she stated, noticing my indecisiveness. I smiled, accepting my outfit. She picked out a pair of strappy silver three-inch heels. Even wearing them I would still be two inches shorter than him, so I didn't protest those. "And you'll braid your hair to the side all pretty-like!" she exclaimed excitedly. I smiled, sharing her enthusiasm. Just then her phone started screaming some song about tacos, signaling a call.

From Harry.



*Harry's P.O.V.*


I was pacing my room in my boxers now. The phone just went on ringing once... twice... finally her voice cut off the third suspenseful ring. "Hello?" she answered.

"Why aren't you home?" I interrogated, practically exploding into the phone. I had no idea where she was, and that not only worried me, but I also needed her! My date with Dani was tonight, and I needed her help with me outfit, which cologne to wear, what to say... All that stuff. I usually don't need advice on these types of things, but there was something about Dani, something different. She made me not as sure of myself; she was more of a challenge than most girls. Which I liked. But it was also kind of stressful.

"I'm at Dani's," she replied, making my heart react weirdly.

"I'm not on speaker, am I?" I asked quietly, trying to sound calm.

"No, don't worry," she giggled lightly. "I went to the bathroom anyways, and don't worry, I didn't want to ruin the surprise. I'm not giving anything away," she promised. I let out a sigh of relief, believing her. I didn't hear my own echo in the background of the call, so I knew she wasn't lying. Besides, I knew she wouldn't ruin the surprise; she's too excited by the whole thing to do that.

"Ok, good. Well, just come home as soon as you can. Do you know how much of your help I need right now?" I admitted desperately. I could practically hear her smirk through the receiver.

"Of course you do," she answered cheekily. I rolled my eyes, even though I knew she couldn't see me. "I'll be back in ten minutes, okay?" she informed me. "Just hold on."

"Okay, okay," I agreed. "See ya then." I pressed the end button on my phone, taking a deep breath.

"Bye! Love you!" I heard her voice from the other end of the line. Aw, I didn't get to say 'I love you' back, I thought sadly. Oh well, she knew I loved her. And that I needed her.



*Haley's P.O.V.*


I apologized to Dani, leaving her with her outfit. But Harry needed my help too! Ugh, these two were definitely making me work. But I enjoyed the job, plus they were adorable! Which made it all worth it. I stepped through the doors of the house I shared with the boys, but my path to the stairs was interrupted by Niall. I smiled, not minding the roadblock. He pulled me into his arms and I smiled into his gorgeous blue eyes. "Where are you headed?" he asked, his eyes scanning my face lovingly. It still made me feel a little insecure when he did that, but I didn't really mind anymore.

"I'm off to help Harry get ready for his little date with Dani," I informed him. He grinned slightly, looking me in the eyes.

"I should take you on a date," he replied, twirling a curl of my hair around his finger.

"You don't have to take me anywhere," I countered. He began to protest, but I cut him off by placing my mouth lightly on his. I smiled mentally at the familiar fireworks and tingles that spread throughout my body. "Of course, I wouldn't say no to a movie night," I murmured against his lips.

"Your wish is my command," he confirmed with a smile. I backed my face up at bit and looked at him questioningly.

"But I thought you were the master," I retorted jokingly.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm still the master," he said, making me giggle. I pecked him one last time before turning and heading up the stairs to go help Harry. "See ya later, beautiful," he called after me. I smiled over my shoulder at him, halfway up the stairs.

"See ya later, master." I blew him a kiss, and he pretended to catch it and rub it all over his lips. I smiled and shook my head, continuing up the stairs. I didn't bother knocking on Harry's door; I just kind of walked in.

"Finally!" he exclaimed once he stopped pacing and realized I was there. Wow. These two liked each other alright. They were both making each other act very out of character. Harry, who was clad only in a pair of Calvin Klein boxers, pulled me over to his closet. "Pick," he ordered, leaving everything in my hands. I sighed, scanning my options of blazers, plain tees, button-up shirts, and even a polo or two. I remembered the mauve dress that I had picked out for Dani, not wanting their outfits to clash. So yellow and orange were out. And green, I don't like green with purple.

"Hmm..." I formed an outfit in my mind, putting together a light blue collared button-down, dark blue blazer, and khakis. I laid it out in his bed for him to examine. "Simple, but effective," I smiled, mocking one of their video diaries I had watched. He rolled his eyes at me, but took in the ensemble with his feline green eyes. He smiled.

"Seems good," he accepted. "Thanks, Halez," he said, engulfing me in a hug.

"Any time, lover boy," I giggled back, pushing his practically bare body off of me. He smiled and shooed me out of his room, as he needed to shower. I obliged, exiting and closing the door behind me.

I decided I hadn't gotten a healthy amount of Niall lately, so I wandered over to his door. He was playing his guitar again, but this time I recognized what he was playing very well. I stood there in the doorway, smiling. He had already started humming the song, but I picked up at the chorus.

"But you're so hypnotizing. You've got me laughing while I sing. You've got me smiling in my sleep." He looked up, seeming slightly surprised, but he just smiled and continued strumming. I smiled back and continued singing. This was one of my absolute favorite Demi Lovato songs. "And I can see this unraveling. Your love is where I'm falling, but please don't catch me." He stopped playing and patted the spot next to him. I accepted his invitation and sat down next to him.

"You have a beautiful voice," he whispered into my ear, putting his arm around me and pulling me into him. I leaned into his and rolled my eyes.

"Oh yeah, totally," I scoffed sarcastically. I couldn't believe someone with such an angelic voice could seriously be saying I was good at singing.

"Fine, you don't have to believe me," he replied, putting his guitar to the side. He put his hands on my waist and delicately lay me down on the bed, as if I was a fragile piece of glass. He just barely grazed his lips against mine, and then hovered above me, staring into my eyes with his almost unrealistic blue orbs. The ghost of his kiss lingered on my lips, making my skin buzz. My breath was caught in my throat and my heart was pounding to a new rhythm. "But you do have to know that I love you," he stated, giving me a real kiss this time, not just a tormenting tease of a kiss. My heart fluttered as my stomach did somersaults and my body tingled. I was getting lightheaded, but in a pleasant way.

"I love you too," I murmured against his lips, gasping lightly for air before resuming. I hoped he felt every ounce of my words, they way I felt his, because I meant them so very much. He saved me from my fear, made me open up my heart again. And now look at the wonderful place it took me. I was so stupid to worry that anything would go wrong. Nothing could be more right. I hoped he felt the same fireworks and bombs and sparklers that I did when we kissed.



*Niall's P.O.V.*


I hoped she felt how much I loved her when I said those three words. Because I meant them with all of my heart. She meant so much to me, and I never wanted to let her go. Every time we kissed, there was more than just sparks. There were fireworks, bombs explosions, mind-numbing tingling sensations that overcame my body. I hoped she felt them too, because they were just some of the things that made me even surer I could never live without her. I pulled away so we could both breathe.

"Fuck movies," she sighed, making me chuckle. It was a little funny seeing that kind of word come from such a cute little girl. "Let's just do this all night!" She exclaimed once she had caught her breath. I laughed even more, giddy at how amazing she made me feel. I pecked her lips lightly.

"I don't want to ever love another," I whispered, hovering over her and taking in her beauty. She was truly all I needed.

"You'll always be my thunder," she sang back to me. Her voice melted my heart and made my limbs feel weak.

"So bring on the rain," I continued.

"Bring on the thunder," she finished. She placed her hand on the back of my head and entwined her fingers in my hair as I kissed her irresistible lips again. Did she know how much I loved it when she played with my hair? That and her kiss were so overwhelmingly blissful, I could barely think straight. I was so caught up in her perfection, and I knew I wanted to stay like this with her forever.



*Haley's P.O.V.*


Nothing could top this moment, alone with Niall with his hands on my waist and his lips on mine. Everything was so perfect, he was so perfect. I wanted to stay like this with him forever.



*Dani's P.O.V.*


I stepped out of the shower around nine thirty and started getting ready. By ten fifteen I was in my dress with my hair dry and braided and my makeup on. I slipped on my heels, checking the mirror excitedly. With every moment getting closer, my heart beat just a little bit faster. The butterflies grew in my stomach as I counted down the minutes until he arrived. My heart leapt when I received a text from him.

Harry♥: Hey there beautiful, I'll pick you up in 10 minutes♥ xx

I smiled uncontrollably. I just felt like twirling in circles.



*Harry's P.O.V.*


Dani♥: See ya then♥

I smiled at her reply, and then took a moment to fix my hair in the mirror. I walked through a cloud of cologne, making sure I was ready. I straightened out my blazer before walking down stairs. I remembered to grab the picnic basket and blanket as I walked out the door and placed them in the trunk. I popped a mint into my mouth as I climbed into the driver's seat, butterflies flutteringly madly around my stomach as I pulled up to Dani's house.

I walked up to the porch, hands practically shaking as I rang the bell. I knew from my unusual nervousness that Dani was special. She appeared in the doorway, looking so incredibly stunning that I could barely breathe. She smiled at me, and I returned it. "You look gorgeous," I breathed dreamily, offering her my arm, which she linked hers through.

"You look pretty amazing yourself," she replied, making my heart leap. I led her to the car, wanting her to be mine forever.



*Dani's P.O.V.*


My heart was twirling and my head was spinning as Harry led me to the car. I could barely even believe that he was taking me on a date, and right then, gazing dreamily at him under the silver moonlight, I knew I wanted to be with him forever.
