Pink *Niall Horan Fan Fiction*

Chapter 24

"Oh, what a pretty picture!"  Lou exclaims, coming over and rescuing me from her little girl.  I smile and hand the crayon and picture over to the little girl reaching for them from her mom's arms. 

"I'm so glad you're back."  Lou smiles, giving me another hug. 

"I'm glad I'm back too."  I grin, smiling warmly at my boyfriend stuffing his face with the cake from across the room. 

"I think we're all glad you're back.  Now we don't have to listen to his whining about being away from you."  Lou mutters in my ear. 

"I'm so sorry you had to listen to that."  I groan, still smiling. 

"Now get out there and make those screaming girls happy!"  I laugh, pushing on Niall and Harry's shoulders. 

"Okay, okay!"  They both laugh, grabbing their microphones from Paul and joining the other boys on the edge of the stage before running out.  I walk back to four of my best friends who are watching the show on the TV. 

"I missed you guys so much."  I smile, pulling all four into a group hug. 

"I didn't think any of you guys would be back until we were in New York?" 

"Well, we all got calls explaining the situation, and we all agreed that we could take a few days off from our lives to see them and surprise you!"  Eleanor explains. 

"I just can't believe you would do all this for me."  Tears of joy prick at my eyes as I pull all four of them in for another hug. 

"Well believe it darlin'.  We all just wanted to see you and welcome you back into the family, love."  Dani exclaims. 

"Yeah we missed you!"  Calum and Michael call from the couch where they're playing FIFA. 

"Missed you too, Dingledork!"  I yell, going over and fluffing their already fluffy hair.  I smile at my friends and I watch my boyfriend run across the stage and do everything he's ever dreamed of. 

"I love watching you perform."  I mumble to Niall as he pushes open the door to our hotel room and I stumble in. Subconsciously I take the pink top and shorts off before brushing my teeth and crawling in bed.  Niall's side of the bed soon dips in and he encircles his arms around my waist when I migrate towards him. 

"Good night, love."  He whispers, kissing the top of my head from where it rests on his chest. 

"I love you, Niall."  I whisper back, making small circles on his upper arm with my index finger before I fall asleep to his light singing.  I wake up in the exact same position I remember falling asleep in, and Niall is gently trailing his fingers up and down my spine, sending shivers through my body. 

"Good morning, beautiful."  Niall greets, throwing one of his hands behind his head and stretching.  I sit up and stretch, too before bending down to give him a good morning kiss. 

"What are we doing today?"  I ask as I slowly crawl out of bed and go to wash my face. 

"Well we're going shopping with everyone else, and then I have a very special dinner date planned for us tonight before the show."  Niall smiles and I watch his eyes follow me from the mirror.  I dry my face and brush through my hair before groaning and going to my bag to find my shampoo and conditioner. 

I take my shower and make sure everything is rinsed out of my hair before I throw my hair up in a towel and wrap another one around my body so I can get clothes to change into.  I secure the towel around my chest, and open the bathroom door to Niall's bareback standing at the counter brushing his teeth.  I plant a kiss between his shoulder blades and walk to my bag to get my clothes. 

"Don't tease me like that, Heather."  Niall sighs after spitting and rinsing his mouth. 

"It was tempting." I smile back, pulling out my outfit for shopping as he goes into the bathroom.  I quickly change into the long-sleeved crop top with an owl on the front and low-rise jeans that I flip up at the ends.  I walk back to the counter to put on some makeup, but low-and-behold Niall swoops out of the bathroom just in time to swipe my mascara out of my hands. 

"Niall, give it back." I complain, stomping my foot and crossing my arms like a 3-year old. 

"You don't need makeup."  He smirks. 

"Can I at least put on my mascara?  I don't have to wear anything else."  I beg, pouting with my bottom lip.  He walks right up to me and kisses my lip that is out in a pout and hands my mascara back. 

"You don't need it though."  He whispers, kissing my forehead.  I take the mascara and twist in his arms so I'm facing the mirror, but I'm still surrounded by his arms.  I put it on and comb through my semi-damp hair before using the hotel provided blow drier to finish drying it while Niall finds a decent shirt he likes. 

After my hair is dried, I straighten it again and pull on a pair of dark purple heels that match my shirt.  I change my belly button ring from a simple green diamond, to a lock, key, and anchor dangly piece that reaches right above the waistline of my jeans. 

"God, you're gorgeous.  And you're mine."  Niall growls, and presses my back against the door to kiss me.  I giggle and push him away.  I'm sure the others are waiting on us. 

"Niall, I think we should probably be heading down to the lobby.  I'm getting hungry."  I whine, flipping the light off and taking his hand as I pull him out the door. 

"Good morning!"  I call to Danielle and Liam as they had the same idea I did. 

"You're in a cheerful mood."  Dani comments. 

"I'm just so glad to be back."  I smile as the four of us enter the elevator to go down to breakfast.
