Meeting The Dream

Chapter 8

*Cami's POV*

I wake up to Niall gently kissing my lips. My lips meet his and my mouth curves up to an enchanted smile, as his tongue dances inside of my mouth. My eyes are still closed as his hands move to my waist, and my hands grip his blond hair. He slowly pulls away, biting my bottom lip like he always does. The smile on his face makes me feel like the only girl in the world.

"You fell asleep during the last movie love. Dinner is downstairs if you'd like to join me?" He says, his accent encasing his words.

I nod slowly, and lean in to kiss him again. I could kiss him all day for the rest of my life. I press my lips against his, and push my tongue through his already open mouth. His hand moves up to my face, caressing my cheekbones. When I pull away, the light in his eyes makes everything in this world seem brighter. He grabs me by the waist and picks me up, and I wrap my legs around his waist. He flips me onto his back, and I follow him down the stairs in the form of a piggy back ride.

When we reach the bottom of the stairs, we are both laughing so hard little drops of saltwater glisten in our eyes. He secures his arm around me, and guides me to the table where I see everyone sitting around plates of what looks like steak. Harry has natalie on his lap, and she is bursting into laughter as he cuts up her food and feeds it to her. I stifle a giggle at the childish yet romantic gesture.

I take my seat next to Niall, and immediately feel his hand rest on my thigh. I love when he does that. Every fiber of my being rings with electricity the second I feel his touch. Everyone eats their meals, and Natalie, Aly, and I make our way to the kitchen to clean the dishes. We set up our assembly line in the kitchen so that I wash, Natalie dries, and Aly puts the dishes away.

"I really like him you guys... I mean I don't know if I am ready to say love yet, but this is definitely somewhere close to that." Natalie says, as I see her blue eyes glisten with happiness.

"I feel the same about Niall." I reply with a genuine smile.

"Yeah, I really like Louis too." Aly says, with red cheeks.

We continue to chat about our new found crushes. None of us have really defined anything yet, because they are leaving in a week. However, that doesn't mean that if they had asked us to go we wouldn't drop everything and go with them. I know I would, and by the look in my two friend's eyes, there's not a doubt in my mind that they would too.

We finish the dishes, and I am caught off guard when I turn around to see Niall standing right behind me. My cheeks flare, and I cover my mouth with my hands. Oh my gosh how much of that did he hear? He smiles, and his blue eyes are glossy and bright.

"Me too." He says, and I immediately know he heard everything.

A wave of relief washes over me. I really did need to hear him say that, so that I knew I wasn't just another groupie. Sadness covers my face at the thought. It is almost as if Niall can read my mind, because the second the thought goes through my mind he takes my wrist and pulls me to his chest and whispers in my ear, "Let's go."

I do as he says, and follow him up the stairs back into his room. He puts in Dear John, and we begin to watch the movie again. I sit down on his bed, with my back against the backboard. Niall joins me on the bed and lifts me onto his lap. I let my head fall back onto his shoulder and grab my phone from the waistband of my leggings.

It looks like Natalie and Aly started a group message. I open up the imessage app, and read the messages, my mouth drops in excitement and shock when I read what is on the screen.

*Natalie: Guess what just happened..."

*Aly: What what what?*

*Natalie: Harry and I were just watching movies and stuff, and he threw a crumpled up piece of paper at me. Lol I was like what the hell, but then I opened it up and it said 'will you be my girlfriend'. I obviously said yes but oh my gosh.*

I accidentally let a shriek slip out of my throat, and Niall immediately turns my face to look at him.

"What is it love?" He asks me, his voice so sweet I can not even control my speech.

"Oh my gosh uhm well haha..." I start to say. "HARRY JUST ASKED NATALIE OUT AND SHE SAID YES!"

Niall's mouth curves into a smirk, and I immediately know that something just went his way. The curiosity is burning inside of me.

"What is it?" I laugh.

"Well actually, I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend."

The second the words register in my brain, I let a grin take over the entirety of my face.

"Mr. Horan, are you formally asking me to be your girlfriend?" I say, trying to keep my cool.

"Yes, yes I am."

I don't have any words to say so I answer him by pressing my lips against his. He pulls away, and I see the smile that I love.

"Well then I guess it's settled." He smirks at me, and I take him by surprise and kiss him again. And again.
