Lovely

Truly, Madly, Deeply

When I awoke, I felt completely refreshed and relaxed. That sleep was very much needed. Suddenly, the smell of bacon and cinnamon rolls flooded the room which made me flip out of bed and walk downstairs. Sure enough, Niall was busy cooking bacon and had a tray of cinnamon rolls waiting on the counter. I snuck up behind him and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Smells good, Nialler," I whispered. He turned around in surprise and grinned.

"Well good morning, angel. Hungry?"

"Starving," I replied. I grabbed a cinnamon roll and Niall handed me several slices of hot bacon. With a glass of orange juice, I happily ate as Niall cooked.

"Anything you wanna do today?" Niall asked.

"Nope," I popped the "p". "I just want to be with you."

Niall turned off the stove and put the bacon on a paper towel. He sat down next to me and smirked. "That can be arranged."

After swallowing the last bite of bacon, Niall scooped me up and sat us down on the couch. I curled up in his lap an pressed my forehead against his. Our noses touched, and I brought my hands to his hair, where I tugged, pulled and ruffled it every which way.

"I love it when you do that," Niall muttered.

I giggled. "Do what?"

"Play with my hair. It's so...relaxing." That made me ruffle it even more. My fingers curled around in it and I started to pull at separate strands.

Niall leaned forward the tiniest bit and made our lips lock. I moved forward and gripped his hair even tighter. Niall's fingers slowly climbed up my hair and I laughed against his mouth.

Niall broke away. "Do you like it when I play with your hair?" 

I nodded. "Absolutely." I smiled and kissed him again. There was something about kissing him that made me feel energetic, yet calm at the same time.

"Niall," I pouted. "I'm tired. I want to go to bed." 

He rolled his eyes and gave up. "Fine." I smiled and grabbed his hand. I squeezed it and turned to go upstairs. I said a quiet good night and went upstairs to change. As I climbed into bed, I closed my eyes and sighed. I didn't want to go back to school. 

Suddenly, I heard some footsteps and then the other side of the bed sink downward. My heart started racing.

Why was Niall in my bed?!

My eyes opened and sure enough, Niall was sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at me. I blushed. "What're you doing, Niall? I'm tired, remember?" 

"I know," Niall sighed. He picked up his guitar. "But I want to play you a song first." Before I could say something else, he started to play a cute little tune. Then he started to sing. 

Am I asleep am I awake or somewhere in between

I can't believe that you are here and lying next to me

Or did I dream that we were perfectly entwined

Like branches on a tree or twigs caught on a vine

Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss

And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this

I'm just the under dog who finally got the girl

And I am not ashamed to tell it to the world

Truly, madly, deeply, I am

Foolishly, completely falling

And somehow you kicked all my walls in 

So baby say you'll always keep me

Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love

With you

In love, with you

When Niall stopped, I blushed and poked out of the covers. Niall set the guitar down and I sat up next to him. He kissed me quickly and then looked deep into my eyes. 

"I'm truly, madly, deeply in love with you, Pepper." He kissed me again. "I hope you never forget that." 

"Me neither," I blushed and hugged him for a while. "Wake me up tomorrow for school, okay?" 

"I will," Niall kissed my head and grabbed his guitar. "Sleep tight, angel." 

I dove under my covers again and I wanted to cry with joy. 

How'd a girl like me...find a perfect guy like him? 

And why am I so truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with him?
