Nialls POV.
"Poppy?" I asked her as we lay in bed. I was still unable to get to sleep, I knew she was awake too as she kept fidgeting.
"Mm-hum" she replied.
"Tomorrow I'm going to take you out. Like on a date, you think Liam will be annoyed or?" I asked staring at the ceiling.
"I'd love to go somewhere. He might be but he'll just have to get over it, won't he?" she said pressing a kiss to my lips. "where you taking me anyway?" she asked looking properly excited for once.
"I'm not done with the finishing touches yet." I looked back down to her to see her reply, but she had drifted of into a peaceful sleep. "That excited huh?" I chuckled to myself before kissing her forehead.
Poppy's POV.
I woke with a start. My checks dampened with tears. I desperately tried to look around, I couldn't see anything. It was too dark. My heartbeat quickened, before I could calm myself I was having a full on panic attack. Shaking uncontrollably, gasping for air I didn't know what to do. When a warm hand was placed on my back the reality of where I was hit me. I slowly calmed my self down before turning to face him.
"Poppy you ok, or do you want me to get Liam or something?" Niall voice accompanied with the lights being turned on ment I was able to regain calmness.
"No I'm alright now." I breathed out heavily.
"What's wrong, why'd you have a panic attack?" He yawned. Clearly not fully awoken yet.
"Nothing I'm fine now, it was just dark and I couldn't see where I was." I said resting myself on to him. He kissed me forehead.
"Well tomorrow we can sleep in your room again. We can get some night lights for in here to or something. But its ok now im here." He yawned again.
"Yeah, sorry." I smiled at his caring personality.
"Don't be, go back to sleep Pops.'' he said while wrapping his arms protectively around me. He made me feel safe. Like he could fend off any dangers, he was perfect, what i needed. He was my rock. I'd tell him I love him but I'm not sure he feels the same or not.
*********
The second time I woke today was more calm. I woke to Nialls chest against my face. His breath blowing the few smaller strands of hair on to my face. I pressed my mouth to his chest to blow a giant raspberry. I giggled obnoxiously. He didn't stir. I gently detangled myself from him, and silently as I could left his room.
I ate my breakfast alone quickly before heading to have a shower. I hoped Niall wasn't taking me anywhere fancy as I settled wearing a pair of black leggings and an over sized jumper. I piled my wet hair on the top of my head. I although dressing lazy did my make-up nice. I had soft brown eyes with a thin line of eyeliner, peach lip salve and a little bit of foundation.
Niall had finally woken once I'd gotten myself ready. He was now sitting awkwardly next to Liam eating a bowl of cereal. They'd only bought that kind of cereal despite it being disgusting because their faces were on the box.
"So where you taking her?" Harry asked Niall. Liam turned his attention away from the telly to look at me then Niall. I sat preoccupied with my nails listening in too.
"Cant say." he replied, spoon poised to enter his mouth. " 'ts-a surprise." he said his mouth now full of the cereal. He turned to me giving me a knowing look. I just smiled acting like I didn't know what he ment.
"You'll treat her well Niall mind." Liam said staring straight at him
" 'course." Niall said a bit dumbfounded at the new lack of trust Liam had for him. He put his bowl in the kitchen and walked back through. "Come on you ready?"
