Our Little Secret {n.h}

chapter 43

"Are you sure he's okay?" I chewed my thumbnail, looking over at Niall as he unstrapped Lucas from the backseat.

"Yes, babe." He jokingly rolled his eyes and I just shot him a look, making him sigh. "It's only three days. My mom watched me for eighteen years. I think I turned out pretty decent."

"I know, I just." I sighed, not having a legitimate reason to be worried.

"He'll be fine." Niall gave me a quick kiss and Maura came out to the car, helping us take Lucas's stuff inside of her house.

We set up his baby bed in the guest bedroom and I double checked to make sure we had gotten everything. Niall put the car seat in her car so that she wouldn't be messing with it and we went to the front yard, Lucas in my arms. Niall took him and blew a kiss on his cheek, making him erupt into giggles. I smiled and gave Lucas a hug, finally handing him off to Maura. We thanked her and told her goodbye, getting into Niall's car.

"Quit stressing." Niall said as he pulled out of her driveway and I huffed, slouching in my seat.

"How can I not? I have never been away from him for longer than a night." I rambled and Niall laughed, grabbing my hand from across the center console.

"Once we get there, I will distract you." Niall smirked and I laughed a little, leaning back.

We rode in a comfortable silence towards Glastonbury and Niall toyed with my fingers the entire time. I watched out the window as the sun began to set and we eventually got to the camp grounds, checking in. We got our tent number and started walking in the direction of the tent, weaving through drunk teenagers. We finally found it and I shut the flaps behind us, setting my bag next to Niall's in the corner.

"Wanna go find something to eat?" I nodded and changed into my boots, tugging a jacket on.

Niall and I roamed around the festival area and eventually landed upon a small little cafe. We got some food and started walking around again, me completely stopping in my tracks at the sight of familiar red hair. I tugged Niall's sleeve and and looked down at me confused. I pointed and his mouth fell open. Ed Sheeran was fifteen feet away from us. Holy shit.

"Am I hallucinating?" I mumbled and Niall shrugged.

We walked over and asked for a picture, which he gladly did. I have never been so happy. Niall and I left in awe and I don't think either of us spoke until we got back to the tent. I laid back on the bed and smiled, looking over at Niall who had the same dazed look on his face. Both of us have been in love with Ed Sheeran since I've known him and we always listened to him in the car.

"We just fucking met Ed Sheeran." Niall mumbled, falling back on the bed and I smiled, looking over at him.

"I'm gonna die happy now." I said and he laughed, rolling over to be on top of me.

"Time to go home. We've seen everything we needed to." I laughed and brushed the hair from his forehead, nodding.

"This place is magical. I swear."

"Take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your hand on my beating heart, thinking out loud." Niall quietly sung the lyrics to me as we watched Ed Sheeran perform and I leaned back into Niall.

He tightened his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder, pressing a light kiss in the same spot a moment later. I interlocked our fingers on my waist and we swayed back and forth to the music, me frowning when it was over. Ed left the stage so Niall and I waited until the area had cleared out a bit before going to get dinner. It was already around seven so we were both hungry. We had been watching concerts all day and I was tired and hungry.
