It was about late afternoon since I got home from my appointment with the memory counselor. I still couldn't believe I remembered it all. And most of all I still couldn't believe my feelings and emotions came back along with my memories.

Since the memories came back, it made everything with Niall more comfortable. By that I mean cuddling with him, talking to him, when he tried to flirt with me, just being around him in general. At first it was hard to believe Niall was actually that important to me. But after I remembered it all, it began to get easier.

For example, when Niall grabbed my hips after he came up behind me while I made us sandwiches when I got home, I didn't pull away like usual. I didn't squirm like I usually do. I like the feeling of Niall's hands resting on my hips, his chin resting on my shoulder. I didn't feel as awkward as I had at first. Or when we laid in my bed watching tv and I caught him looking at me. It made me blush more than ever now.

We talked a lot deeper into our conversations now. Like how we'd been sleeping together and such. Niall told me how he really felt. He told me how nervous he was that I'd never remember him. He told me how he wasn't sure what was appropriate and inappropriate to do with me. He said he almost contemplated telling me we were just friends because he didn't want me to develop feelings out of guilt for him.

As we sat there in silence watching whatever was on the tv Niall shifted suddenly, "Can we go out to eat or something? I'm starving."

I smiled and played with his hair that he left down today, "Of course Niall, my treat."

"Okay c'mon lets go!" He got up and was practically dragging me out of bed.

Niall held my hand and we walked down the stairs, and through the living room to the dining room. Niall let go of my hand to put on his jacket, and as did I. But as soon as my jacket was on completely, Niall's hand automatically reattached to mine.

I wasn't sure how I felt about that though. I had literally remembered everything that I had forgotten today. It all came back so quickly and suddenly. Especially with my feelings for Niall. They didn't seem or feel right after I thought about them since they came back so suddenly. But none the less, I let Niall hold my hand until we got to the car. I didn't want to cause him to frown because for once he was finally really happy.

I put the car in drive once we were both hooked in and headed down the driveway before turning onto my street and making my way to the main road. Neither Niall or I had talked about where we wanted to go, so as we sat at the stop sign I finally asked him.

"Do you like Chinese food?"

"Is that even a question?" He asked sarcastically in his cute accent. I could never get enough of Niall's voice.

I put my right blinker on, waiting for some cars to pass so it was safe for me to get on the road. After driving down it for a few minutes we hit the highway. I merged on, quickly today seeing as there wasn't much traffic.

As I drove Niall fumbled with the radio, looking for a mainstream song. I looked over at him, curious to see how he looked in this moment. He had his right arm on the door of the car while his left hand was scanning through channels. He had on one of his snap backs, in hopes to keep his face hidden from anyone who might spot him. Maybe the mall wasn't such a good idea.

"Niall, I.." I stared to say before I was cut of by him belting out the chorus of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon.

As he sang through it all, I felt my cheeks start to get red. I can't even explain why, but they just did. There was something about having Niall in the car with me, listening to him sing that made me feel almost warm and fuzzy inside which spread to my cheeks. Sounds weird, believe me. But it's hard to describe.
