Loved You First

Chapter 18

When we got into the car I turned on my phone on. I had several texts from Harry asking where I was and why I left so early.

"Sorry I had to leave, I was just tired and Niall wanted to go." I lied. I felt bad for lying to Harry but how could I tell him that I had to leave because Niall thought that I mght have been cheating on him?

"You alright babe?" Niall asked. 

"Yeah I'm fine, I was just thinking about the party," I said.

"Don't worry about that, it's over," Niall said using his free hand to hold mine.

I just smiled back at him. I began to think about all of the things that I wanted to do in California. Obviously I wanted to go to Disneyland and I also wanted to go shopping and go to the beach. It was bit disorenting not knowing exactly what I had packed. 

I was excited for California, it would be the farthest away from home I'd ever been. Although I was excited I was also really nervous and I didn't even know why.

"Did you pack my bathing suit?" I asked him.

"Yeah, don't worry about anything that I didn't pack. If I forgot something, I'll just buy you a new one," he said.

"Okay," I said. I didn't need him to buy me things. I could buy them myself but I knew there was no use in arguing with him.

"So what do you want to eat?" Niall questioned.

"Something small, I don't really care what," I replied. I actually wasn't that hungry anymore.

"Okay, is it alright if we just eat in the airport?" he asked.

"Yeah that's fine," I said.

Once our bags were checked in and we got through security, Niall and I went to go find some food. We settled for a couple of cinnamon buns and waited in the terminal.

"Are you excited?" Niall asked.

"Are you kidding? Of course I'm excited! I've been waiting for this forever, and I'm happy I'm going with you," I said.

"I'm happy I'm going with you too," he replied putting his arm around my shoulder. I leaned into him and enjoyed my breakfast until the voice on the intercom blasted telling us it was time to board that plane.

Niall got his carry on bags and mine and placed them in the compartments above our seats. Then he took the middle seat next to me. I loved sitting by the window and watching everything pass me by. 

"I'm going to sleep, I woke up at like four this morning," Niall informs me.

"Okay but why were you up at four?" I asked.

"To book everything for the trip," he replied yawning. He closed his eyes and soon I could hear a soft snoring noise.

I decided to do the same. I used his shoulder as a pillow and fell asleep.

When I woke up Niall was already awake and he was reading some catalog from the seat in front of him.

"Good evening princess," he said when he realized that I was up.

"What time is it?" I asked looking out of the window.

"It's about three o'clock," he said. I grabbed my phone fom my pocket and turned it on to reveal that it was 2:54.

"Wow I slep for a long time," I commented. I never really slept to long. I liked to be up early to get things done. Sleeping in wasn't my thing.

"Yeah and you looked adorable with your head on my shoulder, well at least that's what the flight attendant said," Niall said. My cheeks flushed as I put my head back down on his shoulder.

"What are you reading?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"I don't even know but I was thinking about getting me one one of these," Niall said showing me the ugliest sweater I'd even seen.

"Don't come anywhere near me if you do," I joked.

"Ouch. What happened to always loving me?" Niall said. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Always loving you and wanting to be seen with you in a terribly hidious sweater are two completely different things," I said.

"Touche," he replied making the both of us laugh.

"Maybe you should get that one," I said pointing at an even uglier sweater. 

"Oh yeah and I'll get you one two," he said. I scrunched my nose to his comment. "What? You don't want to twin with your boyfriend?" Niall asked. My heartbeat increased when he said the word boyfriend. 

"Not in that I don't," I said. Niall pouted at me. "I would love to match with my boyfriend," I added. 

"I know," he said proudly as he put his arm around me.

"When we get back home we should get matching Jack Wills jackets," I said.

"Well, it's settled then, as soon as we get back we'll be the cutest couple in the world," he said.

"Who says we aren't now?" I asked.

"No one, at least they better not," Niall said. I just laughed and leaned into him a bit more as I looked at the catalog in his hand.
