Flying in Love (a Niall Horan fan fic)

Chapter 12

   I started piling up my plate with as much as I could. I hope nobody thinks I'm a fatty. But, who cares if they do? Well.. I would, my subconscious tells me. When I start eating my food, things get so awkwardly silent.

   "So, where are you planning to go to college?" Maura asks me breaking the silence. "Well, I'm not so sure yet actually." I answer feeling ashamed of myself. She probably thinks I'm dumb not too. "Oh, that's fine. I was in your position way back when I was your age. " she laughs. Everyone at the table laughs with her but Niall. I can tell how embarrassed he is right now and that makes me laugh even more.

   Maura, my dad, and Brian all get in a deep conversation on what there is to do in Ireland. I've been done with my food for about three minutes now and none of those three seemed to notice. I'm caught of guard when Niall grabs my hand and holds it in his. Our fingers cross and I feel just right. This is what I've wanted since I saw him on the plane. Just him and I. Even if there are other people. Even if they catch us holding hands. This is us. Wait, were not even dating. Ugh, I'm just so caught up in all that's happened to me lately.

   "Ready to go, Lexi?" my dad's voice snaps me right out of my thoughts. "Eerrr, ya" I say not wanting to leave Niall. I let go of his grip to avoid any more awkwardness for the night. At the corner of my eye I can see his face drop with sadness. Gosh darnet! Why'd I have to ruin it? We all make our way towards the front door.  We say our thank yous and my brother and dad make their way back home. "Thank you again!" I say and hug Maura. "No problem dear, come back anytime." She says before going back to the kitchen. "Well, uhh, I was wondering if you... maybe... wanna... like" 

"Just hurry up already!" I say sarcastically.

"Never mind, it was dumb anyway."

"Oh," I reply feeling bad.

"See ya later."

He wraps his arms around my waste and i wrap mine around his neck. So this is what a Horan hug feels like. Or should I say Horvan hug.  "Bye'" I say softly as he breaks up the hug. "Bye."

   When I get inside, I immediately run up to what room I assume is mine. Woah, he was right. I walk over to the window-seat and flinch when a light is turned on in front  of me. All I see is Niall with a huge grin on his face. Awww. I watch amused as he jumps up and down like he just won the lottery. I start cracking up and feel his eyes on me. Oh, no.
