I Ship Naela- Niall Horan Fanfiction

Chapter 15 - The Surprise

Chapter 15

*Niall's POV*

It was December and our tour ended in July. It's been 16 months since I've seen Maela. It's crazy because we're still going strong, honestly. We talk and have talked every single day about the things that happened to us that day. Even though we never saw each other, I knew we could work things out. We were just so compatible. I had literally never met another girl that made me feel as happy as she made me feel. I needed to see her. I needed to feel her embrace again. I wonder if she missed me as much as I missed her.

Just as that thought popped into my head, my phone buzzed.

"Hello, babe. I miss you. :)"

She was so cute with her little smiley faces.

"I miss you too, love. ;)" I texted back.

God, I just wanted to see her right now. I couldn't stand being apart, but I didn't have a choice. My job required me to be on the road a lot, but she knew that. I knew she understood and that's one of the reasons I liked her so much.

The reason I didn't go visit her was because I went home to visit my family. I remember being so excited to go home and tell them all about Maela. I was always excited to tell my family about people I meet and the days I've had.

When I told my dad about Maela, he eyes lit up and I could tell he was already excited to meet her. He could tell that I really liked her by the way I smiled when I talked about her. I never really noticed until he pointed it out to me.

My brother, Greg, was excited for me, too. He was married, so he knew what it was like to be in love.

Wait. Did I just think that? Was I in love with Maela? We have been talking for a while, but we've only ever hung out those first couple days when we first met. I didn't know what to think. It felt like love, but I never really knew what that felt like, did I?

*Maela's POV*

OH MY GOD! I missed Niall so fucking much. I couldn't believe it had been more than a year since we have actually seen each other. He told me he was going to visit me before Christmas, so I was really excited for that. I was in my senior year of college and I just couldn't wait to get out so we could just be together. I know, I would get a job, but I would live in Mullingar, so he wouldn't have to travel back and forth from America to Ireland every time he got a break. Yes, I wanted to be an actress, but I could do that in the UK, couldn't I?

I didn't know what I was going to do, honestly. I said all this stuff in my head, but would I even do it? It's been my dream to become an actress, but if Niall wanted to be with me, I would drop everything and leave with him. It's probably crazy, but I really do love him.

I was just waiting for him to say those three little words that I know he wants to say. I couldn't say 'I love you' first because I would just seem like a clingy, crazy fangirl... again.

That's when my phone buzzed.

"I'm coming to visit soon. Be prepared. ;)"

Oh my god. A surprise visit. He is the cutest thing of my entire life. Now I'm going to be waiting for like a week until we get out of class for winter break.

*

The entire week, I could not pay attention to my professors. I was just waiting for Niall to come barging into my apartment so I could give him the biggest hug ever.

*

Finally, after a week of torture, the winter break had started. I was so relieved I didn't have to deal with classes for another month.

When I got to my apartment, I just plopped down on the couch ready to go to sleep when I heard a something from my bedroom.

I figured it was just one of my roommates, so I decided to get up and see what they were doing in my room.

"What are you..." I said, walking in to my room. When I looked up, the blue eyed, Irish boy was standing in the middle of the room with three boxes of chocolates in his hands.

"You really know me, don't you?" After I say that, I leap into his arms and he drops the chocolates.

"I'm so glad you're here!" I almost scream in his ear.

"Hello to you, too." He laughs while he picks me up off the ground in his arms and spins me around.

As he puts me down and we pull apart, he leans in and kisses me passionately on the lips.

Oh my god. I have definitely missed kissing him. I couldn't believe it's been 16 months since we've seen each other.

"How did you even get in?" I ask him after our lips separate.

"Ummm.. the boy let me in. Speaking of the boy...." He says suspiciously.

I laugh and almost fall to the floor, "OH. MY GOD. NO. HUNTER'S GAY!"

"Oh.... Well, then.. I guess I have nothing to worry about, right?" He asks me.

"I don't know.... I have pretty good game with the boys." I tell him sarcastically.

At this point, his hands are on my hips and my arms are around his neck. I could literally stand in that position looking into his eyes forever.

Just when I was about to kiss him again, Hunter walked in.

"So... How's life?" He asks raising his eyebrows at me.

I pick up the chocolates, grab Niall's hand and walk past Hunter rolling my eyes.

"What?" His voice trails off as we make our way into the kitchen.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him opening the fridge.

"Actually... There's something I need to ask you." He said suspiciously.

OH. MY. GOD. Was he about to propose? No. We hadn't even hung out but twice. He wasn't proposing. He wasn't. He couldn't be.

I quickly grabbed some ham and cheese out of the fridge and walked to the counter after I closed the door.

"Oh, yeah? What's that?" I ask him nonchalantly putting my sandwich together.

"Well... I was wondering if you wanted to come back to Mullingar with me for Christmas?"

Without even thinking, I dropped my sandwich and turned around so I was facing Niall.

"YES!" I said with a mouthful of ham, cheese, and bread.

He laughed with his adorable laugh that he does, "Okay, well, you might want to start packing. We're leaving tonight."

With his last words, I jetted to my room, grabbed my suitcase, and started packing. I couldn't believe it. Niall invited me to have Christmas with him and his family in Mullingar! I was going to meet Niall's family! Does that mean that we're official? Does that mean he...? No. He hasn't said it yet. Well, maybe he's just waiting for the right time to say it. Maybe he just didn't want to say it over text...

*

We got on the plane and the butterflies were already starting. I can't believe I was going to meet Niall's family.

We put our carry ons in the cubbies above us and sat down.

"Get comfortable, babe. It's going to be a long flight."

Okay! Updated! Hope you guys liked it. Again, I'm probably not going to be updating a lot because of school, but don't stop reading. :D Remember to vote and comment what you guys think. I love you all!
