You're still the one (Niall Horan fanfiction)

chapter 26

The next month went extremely quickly. We stayed in Adelaide for about a week. I made the boys meet some fans that I knew and some of Justine’s sisters friends hung out with us for the day. We were all back in London now. Niall and I were staying at his apartment and everyone else was staying at Lou and Harry’s. My birthday was only a couple of days away, cannot believe I’m turning 19 already. Seems like only yesterday I was working in the coffee shop back in Adelaide, living in a dirty old apartment with Justine. Now look at me, I’m dating a member from One Direction, have all the money I could ever need, and I’m living in this gigantic house. I could have never pictured my life would have turned out this way, if someone had asked me if they thought I would have ended up living like this I would have asked what drugs they were taking. I fumbled with my hands, staring at my beautiful boyfriend who was busy trying to make pasta in the kitchen. He had insisted that I let him make it himself and didn’t do it for him. I really hope he doesn’t burn the house down. I giggled to myself and this caught Niall’s attention.
“What you giggled at baby?” He smirked as he stirred the pasta in the water.
“Nothing, just how much I love you.” I kicked his bum as he walked passed.
“Hey!” He chuckled grabbing some things for the pasta sauce out of the pantry. “Love you too.” He kissed me on the head as he walked back towards his cooking away pasta.
“Hey, I was thinking maybe we should go down to see your parents soon?”
“Yea?” He asked blankly as he hummed to himself.
“Well, it’s my birthday soon and i think it would be nice if we did something special for it.” I continued.
“Don’t you wanna be here, with your friends for your birthday?” He kind of snapped at me.
“It’s not that, I do. But we’ve been together for a long time and I just think it would be nice if we went down and spent some time with your family, since we can’t see mine.” I mumbled off sadly. I wish my mum was still around. I wish she was still here so I could call her for advice and tell her about Niall. My dad doesn’t really talk to me much anymore, since mum passed anyway. It was going to be two years on Boxing Day. Christmas was our favourite time of the year. We always decorated every single surface of the entire house with decorations, and we always cooked up a huge storm Christmas Eve. The last two years, I’ve spent Christmas with Liam and his family. His mum was always a second mother too me and when I lost mine, she basically stepped in and took up the place. My mum and Liam’s mum were best friends, so when we became friends at school, they were both so pleased. I know that she took it hard when my mother passed as well, but she’s always remained strong around me.
“Baby, I’m sorry.” Niall spoke, breaking my train of thought. He was now standing in front of me and had his hands on my thighs. I must’ve completely zoned out.
“We can go see my family the day after you birthday if you want? I just really want you to stay here and celebrate your day with our friends.” He looked like he was about to sook if I objected again.
“Okay Ni.” I tried to smile, but thinking about my mum, put me in the worst mood. “I might go to be, I’m feeling a bit sick to be honest.”
“Do you want some painkillers and some water? I’ll bring it up to you in a minute okay?” He was such a caring boyfriend. I nodded and kissed his check before heading upstairs to our bedroom. Niall and I have been staying in his apartment for the last week or 2. It was really lovely having time just us two, they say that living together either make or break couples, it was defiantly making us. I can’t picture my life without Niall.

It was getting closer and closer to my birthday and Niall was getting more and pushier about making sure I’m home and I’m going to see our friends. He’s so strange sometimes. My phone beeped.
Perrie- Hey sugar! Me and the girls are coming around tomorrow from drinks at around 6ish and then we’re gonna go clubbing for your birthday! Me and El will be over in 10 to take you shopping. Our shout! Love you, -P xxxx
“Niall!” I shouted from the top of the stairs as he was in the kitchen, of course.
“Yeah?” He shouted back at me.
“The girls are coming around to take me shopping. Is that okay?” I screamed back at him and then laughed thinking about how silly we were screaming at one another. I walked downstairs and was about to walk into the kitchen when he went to scream back to me
“Yeah! That’s fin-“He stopped when he realised he was screaming in my face. Both of us erupted with laughter. “I’m sorry baby! But of course it’s fine. Have fun!” He kissed me and I grabbed my phone chucking it in my bag and then the doorbell rang.
“Love you!” I shouted behind me and I ran towards the front door.
“Love you most!” He called after me.
