For Now and Forever (Completed)

Chapter 4

--------------------3 Months Later After the Tour------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was at Niall's house having our annual Friday night movie nights, but for some reason this one felt more...tense. I think Niall had something to say, but I was afraid to ask him. I finally just got on with it. "Niall, do you...have the need to say something?" I said looking up at him.

He bit his lip and I grabbed his hand and caressed it,"Go ahead and say it, love." He sighed.

"Ok...well I went to the club with the guys last Saturday, when you were out of town, and I was really...drunk and I..." he drifted off.

I finished it off in a low whisper, "Hooked up with her?" I dropped his hand and tried to gather my feelings.

"Babe..." Niall reached for my hand and I inched away from him. I argued with myself. He didn't mean it, he was drunk. But then again why didn't he or any of the guys tell me?

I felt Niall wrap his arms around my waist and rest his chin on the top of my head, "Babe, please. I-I love you."

"But why didn't you or anybody else tell me? Ahead of time." Especially Liam, I would expect that of him.

"I wanted to tell, I didn't want you hearing from anybody else. But I got so scared, but I had to tell you it was eating me up inside."

"Niall..." I couldn't be mad at him! It was impossible for me, should I forgive him? Yes, I should, but with some conditions. "Okay, I forgive you-" Before I could finish my sentence he picked me up and kissed me. Forget conditions, I loved this boy! No, no, tell him your conditions, don't forget about the conditions! I put my hands on his chest and pushed back. He looked at me with a confused face.

"You didn't let me finish. I was gonna say "under some conditions."

"Yes, anything for you." He looked at me with wide blue eyes.

"I'm going to ground you, no more clubbing for a month!" He nodded. "And...once your punishment is over, I want Liam to watch you and he WILL tell me if anything happens, okay?" He nodded again looking down at the ground.

"Good!" I grabbed his hand and pulled him up closer to me and wrapped my arms around him. "Babe..."

"Hm?"

"I love you." I closed my eyes and snuggled into his chest. As I was drifting off to sleep I heard the words 'I love you too.'

"Lindsey! Wake up, love. C'mon now, get up."

I squinted my eyes to see Niall hovering over me. "Noo." I moaned closing my eyes again.

"Lindsey, don't start this! I will drag you."

I waved my hand at him to go away, suddenly I felt two strong hands on my ankles and my eyes shot open. Suddenly, I was being dragged, "Aah!" I shrieked. "Okay okay okay! I'm up!" I giggled, hitting his arm.

"Good, now come on! The boys want us to meet them at Nandos." He said excitedly as he ran out the room.

I rubbed the sleepies out my eyes, it was summer break and I had been sleeping over at Niall's a lot lately. My mum didn't mind just as long as it was only once or twice a week. I walked into the bathroom to get a shower. There was a knock on the bathroom door while I was in the shower. "Niall, I'm in the shower!"

The doorknob twisted and I reached for the towel, "Niall! I'm serious!" The door opened and he peeked his head in. "Niall, out!"

"No, why?" He smiled.

"Because...I'm naked for Pete's sake!"

"So?" He opened the door wider.

"Niall..." I wrapped the towel around me even though it was getting soaked from the water.
