Our Time Together ➸ Niall Horan

Sleepovers and Rooftop Stargazing

Eleanor's POV  

Ariana had asked me to help her print 2 pictures for her to give to Niall for their anniversary. It would be late, but it was still sweet. One picture from when they first started dating, and one from their anniversary a few days ago. She had gotten a personalized frame made. We go to a little print shop down the street from the hotel. We print the pictures so that they would fit the frame perfectly. When we go back to the hotel, we go to Ariana and Niall's room. Sophie and Niall are laughing really hard.  

"What's so funny?" Ariana and I ask at the same time. We look at each other and laugh really hard.

"Nothing. Niall and I were just looking at Vine fails."

"I love those!" Ariana and I say, once again, at the same time, sending us bursting into laughter. Again.

"Where were you guys?" Niall asks.

"Nowhere!" Ari and I said at the same time, once again. 

"Where you, by any chance getting telepathic communication surgically installed?" Niall asks sarcastically. 

"No," Ari and I, for a fourth time answer together, sending the four of us laughing our heads off.

"Hey, you guys wanna invite Louis and Harry over?" Sophie asks. We all murmur in agreement. 

"Hey, El, you wanna sleep in here tonight?" Ariana asked.

"Sure! I'll get Lou and Harry, and my stuff, and be back in a few. Toodles!" I say, leaving. I walk into my room, finding Louis, Harry, and Zoe sitting on the couch.

"Hey Zo! I forgot you were coming today!" I say, giving her a hug. "I've come to collect you guys and go to Niall and Ariana's. I'm staying the night, so I'll be back in a sec." I say running to collect my things. This place is more like an apartment than hotel room! I think to myself. Sweats, Toothbrush, toothpaste, underwear, blanket, brush…I was making a mental list of what to throw in my bag. 

"You guys ready?" I ask.

"Sure!" Zoe says.

"Hey, um Zo. Can I talk to you privately for a second?" I say looking at the boys.

"We're gonna head over, 'kay?" Louis asks.

"Sure, see ya in a sec!" I reply closing the door.

 "Zoe, I think you should know that Sophie and Zayn broke up, so things are a bit…"

"Awkward?" She offers.

"Exactly!" I say, "so don't…"

"Mention it?" She says.

"Yes. Thanks for understanding," I say, turning to leave.

"Hey, El?" She says, stopping me.

"Yeah, Zo?"

"I hope I'm not intruding, or anything."

"In your dreams, sister. Your part of the family! Our small, fabulous family!"

"Thanks, El."

"Only the truth," I say, as we leave.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Zoe!!!" Ariana, Sophie, and Niall scream, giving her hugs, and exchanging 'how are you' s and stuff. 

"I'm gonna go change," I say going into the bathroom. I brush my hair into a casual high ponytail, and get into sweats. I go and sit next to Louis, and he holds my hand.

"Eleanor, can I ask you something?"

"Anything," I say.

"Will you take a trip to the Eiffel Tower with me?"

" 'Course!"

"Will you come with me for a minute?" He asks, holding his grip on my hand as if it were the only thing keeping him alive. I knew it was keeping me alive.

"Let's go somewhere a little more…private," he says with a smirk. He leads me to the roof, where a blanket is laying, with a single rose on it, and rose petals leading up to it. On each petal was another word. 

"Love, forever, together, my other half…Louis…this is beautiful." I say looking up, seeing him. Him. He was mine. 

"Eleanor, it took a moment to make you mine, but it will take a lifetime to tell you how much I love you." The stars were out, and he says; "The amount of stars in the sky, grains of sand, of salt…added up, isn't even half as much as I love you."

"Louis-"

He cuts me off. "El, when we met, my heart skipped a beat. Every time I see you, it jumps for joy, and the other day when I saw you, my heart almost stopped. When you cry, I cry, when-" I cut him off, and said;

"Look! Isn't the view magnificent?"
