Valentines Day

Chapter 48 Anna's point of view

The last chapter left off in June, and this chapter is taking place on February 14, 2015. Okay, read:-)

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

Mae's funeral was beautiful. A lot of people showed up, my family members, Niall's uncle, her school friends, neighborhood friends, and all of my friends and Niall's.

Harry showed up, and I told him that Mae loved him. He cried in my shoulder for endless minutes. He even told me that he felt the same. If Mae was still here, I would keep Harry as far away from her as possible.

She would have wanted to know. But now, I could care less if he loved her, only if Mae knew.

I don't know why I didn't stay locked in my room, like when my father died. Maybe it was because I got to say goodbye to Mae, unlike my father who left without saying goodbye. Either way, they are both tragic.

Niall hasn't left my side for months. When I wake in the morning to when I got to bed at night. He make sure that nothing is wrong.

Since Niall and I have finished school, we have been working full time at Niall's uncles restaurant. Just to earn some extra cash. It also, has been helping me keep my mind busy, and get back into the world.

Niall has been looking at different collages around this area. He doesn't want a dorm room because, he says he will miss me to much. I would miss him to much also.

"Anna , are you almost done with the dishes?" Niall called into the kitchen. We were the only two left at the restraint. I was finishing the dishes and Niall was cleaning up the dining room area.

"Almost. I just have to put them back." I stacked the white bowls all on top of each other. Then put all the forks, spoons, and knives in the drawer.

Next, I hung my apron in its place on the hanger. I swung my leather jacket over my body. I was greeted by it cold cloth inside the arms. It gave me goosebumps, but they quickly went away.

"Are you done-"

Niall was sitting at one of the dining room tables. The lights were dimmed and a single candle was placed at the center of the table.  And he had his cheeky smirk on his face.

"If you wanted to go on a date, you could have just asked? But I'm not going to complain, this is very sweet." I took my jacket off and throw it over the back of the chair. Then, seated myself on to the wooden chair.

"You've been working to hard, I just thought...that...you needed a break...a peaceful night out with me."

"Thank you, but you have been working just as hard as me. You should be the having a peaceful night out." I took a sip of my water.

"Seeing your face with a beautiful smile on it is the most peaceful thing that I need to keep me going." My cheeks heated and I tilt my face down, hoping Niall wouldn't notice.

"Anna we have been dating for almost a whole year and you still blush when I tell you thing like I love how innocent you are, how beautiful you are, how sweet you are, and that I love you with all my heart." Now my cheeks felt like they were on fire.

"Anna, do you love me?" I looked at him with confusion.

"Oh yes! I do love you."

"How much?" he teased.

"Niall Horan...I...Love...You... with all my...heart, and I will love you til the day I die." I smiled.

"Okay." he took a long sip out of his water. Smiling while doing it.

" 'Okay' is all I get! ....... wow. No fighting about who loves who more...wow!" Normally when I tell Niall that I love him, he always starts fighting with me that he loves me more. I don't hate it, but I don't like it.

He is so perfect, I sometimes think he isn't real. Like he is a robot, or an alien of some sort. I try to find his flaws but, there are simply none. And I wonder why he would love someone with so many flaws.

"Ann--nna" Niall waved his hand in front of my face and then, I noticed I had been staring at him for quite some time.

"I am terribly sorry...I was...just trying to... find your flaws." I am so dumb. I just said the dumbest thing I could have said, to anyone.

"My... flaws." He was confused, not knowing what to reply with.

I smacked myself in the forehead with my hand several times. "I am so stupid, I was trying to find your flaws and figure out why in the world someone as perfect as you would want someone as...."

"....As beautiful as you would want me. I have tried to find it out for myself, too." I leaned in and kissed his little smirk, that happen to crawl back. He sure does like to smirk a lot.  

After we leaned back in our chairs Niall got out of his. Stepping over two steps in front of my chair. Our eyes never leaving each others. He got down on his left knee. Pulling a small black box from his pocket.

My mouth slowy opened, and my eyes doing just the same.

"Niall." my voice has hushed and soft. I doubt that he could hear me.

"Anna, I have wanted to know this answer for my whole life. " He opened the box, and a ring with a tiny diamond was stabled to the top.

A gasp fell from my mouth.

"Will you marry me?"
