Annas POV:
A sudden knock sounded at my door startling me. Sighing, I heaved myself off the bed and slouched over to the wooden door that stood at the bottom of my scattered room. A small smile tugged at my lips as I opened the door and once again, for 30th time this month, found a cup of coffee sitting at my feet.
I picked the steaming beverage up from its place and trailed back to my room, leaving the door open. I decided that it was finally time to face to Niall now. He would come every day after I had returned home from school and try to get me to forgive him by sitting on the opposite end of my room whispering sweet nothings into the cold wood.
Placing the blue painted cup on my bedside table I turned around to face a shameful Niall stood at the foot of my room looking down at his feet.
“I’m sorry” he apologised for what seemed like the hundredth time.
“Niall I’m tired of hearing those same two words coming from you”
He gulped and raised his head timidly, fixing his gentle gaze on the bed that I stood beside.
“I don’t know what else to say to get you to forgive me baby”
I flinched at the last word he used but decided against saying anything to him about it. A precipitous rush of confidence struck me I took a few steps closer to him and muttered,
“Why did you kiss her?”
He looked taken aback by my sudden burst but quickly masked it up by softly coughing.
“I um..I”
“You don’t have an answer do you?”
I looked into his eyes questioningly but they seemed to always run away from my glare.
“I do but I-“
“But what Niall?”
I cut him off once again but frankly I couldn’t care less. Just when I had started to open up and begin to actually trust that love did in fact exist in the cruelty that this world effortlessly masked itself in he went and shattered the thin string I was holding onto, thinking that with him I could make it through anything and almost everything.
You foolish girl thinking he actually gave a damn about your sorry ass and loved you
“But I can’t tell you Anna okay?! I can’t tell you for your own God damn safety! Have you ever once thought how much this is actually killing me? Have you ever stepped out of your little bubble and cared to notice how hard I have fell for you? Do you seriously not realise how much I love you?, do you not know what depths I can and am going through to keep you safe and away from any kind of danger? Why do you not seem to see the tears that have never left my eyes since the day you built your walls right back up and cut me off from you? Why is it Anna that I have loved you so fucking much but you just seem to turn a blind eye to that? I never kissed that girl out of my own will, I despise her as much as you do, why can’t you just believe me?”
I stood, processing all his words, letting them sink into me slowly as he helplessly paced around the little closure of my room, clenching and unclenching his fists.
“You’re protecting me?” I breathed, uncertain of what to think.
“Yes Anna and I cannot tell you what for, I really am sorry but I promise that when the right time comes I will”
He took a few steps towards me and watched me hesitantly.
“And when will this ‘right time’ come?”
“Soon baby, I swear”
His words soothed me but at the same time lit a fire inside my heart. The butterflies danced in the pit of my stomach warming my heart to the very depths but my brain refused to feel the compassion and stubbornly stayed cold.
I sighed and forcefully nodded, ignoring the silent pleas my mind was shouting at me.
A weary grin appeared across his harsh features and he slowly approached me, his arms spread out, ready to embrace me into him.
I slowly responded and opened my arms, wrapping them around his body and bringing him closer than ever.
His strong scent filled my senses giving me a strange kind of joy. Despite what I had forced myself to believe I had missed him.
“I missed you Annie” He breathed into my hair and I chuckled at the nickname he used for me.
“Annie?”
“Yeah” he sheepishly smiled and at that moment I couldn’t help but stand on my tip toes and place a soft but desperate kiss against his lips.
Niall pulled away breathless and brought me in closer, resting his warm forehead against mine.
I gleamed at him as he took in my appearance.
“My beautiful princess” he whispered before placing a loving peck on my nose.
I closed my eyes as his lip touched my skin and held onto him as if he was my only source of oxygen.
“Will you go out on a date with me?” The uncertainty in his voice threw me over the edge as I realised that he was somewhat nervous. His eyebrows were scrunched, awaiting my response and he was biting his lip, trying to contain himself.
“I would love too”
Happiness shone out of his eyes as he embraced me tighter than before and nuzzled his nose in my hair.
“You won’t regret this, I swear”
I sure hope I don’t
