"Pass me a piece of wood, babe?" Niall asked, outstretching his hand. I sat up on the chair and leaned forward, grabbing the wood between my palms and passing it to him. His face contorted in concentration as he carefully placed the log onto the others in the middle of the fire pit. The flames immediately turned a shade brighter, also extending further into the sky. Niall leaned back, satisfied at his job well done and stood up from his squatted position on the ground. I stood up from the camping chair, allowing Niall to sit down in it with a small huff. I then sat back down on his lap, literally curling into him as I sat so that my legs stuck under the arm of the chair and my right side was pressed against his chest. My head against his shoulder as my left hand was placed on his heart, feeling his heartbeat steady and calm. I watched the fire from my position as did Niall, occasionally taking a sip of his beer.
"How long have we been out here?" I wondered, a yawn escaping my lips afterwards. Niall looked to his phone, noticing the time was 11:02
"Bout 2 hours" he estimated, arm wrapping around me just a bit tighter. I felt his cold wet lips kiss my forehead, causing me to let out a small smile at the gesture. His hand started to move up and down my back, massaging me and putting me almost to sleep.
"I wish I could do this all the time" Niall sighed, taking another swig of his beer. I brought my head up from his shoulder, looking at his side profile as he continued to watch the fire. I watched the flames dancing in his blue eyes, nothing else seeming to captivate me more than that, ever.
"Have a fire?" I asked, confused by the random confession.
"Be at peace" he whispered, looking up at the stars that were shinning bright in the late night sky. I looked down to the fire, knowing exactly what he was talking about. Being famous, of course it comes with its pros and cons. You know by now.
My right hand reached up to play with the hair at the nape of his neck, showing him that I was listening.
"Be with you" he continued, drifting off at the end. I smiled at that, leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek.




"Soon enough, it'll all be over. And you'll be wishing you could tour again, or release a CD again" I told. Niall laughed lightly, knowing it was true. It was Niall's turn to rest his head on my chest, cuddling up to me as he wrapped both his arms around my body, pulling me into him.
"I just..love moments like this. Doing normal things, with my beautiful girlfriend. No interruptions; just, being me. Niall Horan, from Mullingar Ireland. Not Niall Horan, from One Direction" he admitted, continuing to speak his mind. My left hand now repeated the action of pushing the hair out of his face, combing back his hair through my fingers until I reached his neck.
"And you know that I see you as the little boy from Ireland." I confirmed. He nodded his head, mumbling a "course" and continued to look at the fire.
You thought for a few moments, wondering how to make the most of the night. It's not every night Niall is home, enjoying time with just you and him. Of course it was nice just relaxing in your backyard by a campfire, the smores already being eaten and gone along with stories shared. So why not do something crazy for once, something you both won't forget.
"Let's go for a drive" I suddenly brought up, sitting up a little to allow his face to look up at mine in wonder
"To where?? It's almost midnight" he furrowed his eyebrows, reaching into his pocket to check the time on his bright phone screen
"An adventure is in store" I stood up from his lap, stretching my back before outstretching my hand. Niall smirked to me, liking the plan already as he took my hand to help him up. Since the fire had not been replaced with fresh wood in the past 20 minutes or so, we decided to leave it since it would die down on its own, like it was now. I lead Niall by his hand to the front yard, practically running to the car in excitement
"I'm driving, I have a place in mind" I told, getting into the drivers seat. Niall ran around to the other side of the car, literally bouncing in his seat in excitement once we were on the road.

I rolled down all the windows as we speed off to the destination, blasting Nick Jonas as we went. Me and Niall took it upon our selves to switch off parts, he was Nick and I was Tove Lo in the song close. Let's just say Niall's singing makes me sound like absolute shit. But he always claims that he thinks my voice is beautiful, even though I know I sound like a dying cat. The loud singing lasted the whole way, which was only about 10 minutes, until I started driving down a dirt road off of the street. Niall looked to me quizzically however I shook him off, mumbling for him to just trust me.
As we got to the clearing, a small grass patch became visible along with a wooden dock and a tiny lake. My friend had told me about this place and I have yet to show Niall, and this just seemed like perfect timing.
"Cmon" I reassured him that we could go over, not before popping the trunk of his Range Rover
"Look at that, we still have that blanket in here from our picnic a few weeks ago" I chuckled, placing it on my arm.
"I got it princess" Niall offered, taking the warm felt from my hands and walking with me over to a grass patch directly in front of the water.
"I know it sucks that we didn't bring bathing suits, but we could enjoy the view at least" I suggested, taking a seat on the red and blue stripped blanket.
"You kidding me?" Niall smirked, suddenly pulling off his shirt.
"Let's jump in" he continued on, pulling his sweats off to leave him in just his boxers.
"No! Are you crazy?" I whisper/ yelled, standing up from my cozy position
"Maybe I am" Niall shrugged, pulling me by my arm into his body
"Let's just let loose for once, no? You wanted to come do something crazy" Niall noted, playing with the hem of my teeshirt. I rolled my eyes, looking into his bright blue adventurous ones and slowly giving in.
He's home now, make the most of it while you can.
