Nialls POV:

I fastened my tie up to the collar of my white ironed dress shirt and smiled at my appearance. My sleeves were rolled up to my elbows and I wore black skinny jeans that hung loosely around my waist. Today was the day I would save Anna. I had too.

My palms started to sweat as I went over the events I had to do today in order to ensure Anna’s safety would be definite. I shook my head free off the negative thoughts and grabbed my keys and phone from the wooden table I was stood in front and made my way to my car, ignoring the wind harshly whipping against me.

I reached Anna’s house a couple of minutes earlier then 7pm so I parked outside the gate and trailed up the front stairs of her porch and knocked on the door.

“Niall”

I looked up to see Paul dressed in a gown standing in front of me with a cup of coffee in his right hand.

“Paul”

I greeted him back with a nod of my head and he moved to the side to let me in.

“I have been informed that tonight will be the night you will finish her”

He raised his eyebrows menacingly and I tried to hold back my anger as I nodded.

“Your job will be done by 12am”

“Good” he smiled deviously before continuing.

“I will be watching Horan”

I gulped and nodded slightly before averting my gaze to the staircase to reveal Anna climbing down them. She wore a black dress that hung a couple of inches below her knees, and a white cardigan that complemented the black satin material of the dress quite nicely. Her hair was combed back in a neat bun with a black flower pinned to the side of it; a loose strand of hair was curled and left to the left of her petite face.

She smiled when she caught sight of me and quickly rushed down the few steps that were left in order to get to me quicker. I breathed in as she stood in front of me, grinning and took the time to study her angelic features. Anna snapped me out of my daze by waving her hand directly in my face and giggling.

I chuckled and grabbed her hand in my own, leading her out through the front door.

“You look breath taking” I whispered into her ear and watched as she moved her head to the side to hide the deep shade of pink that was creeping on her cheeks.

I gently moved her chin so she was forced to look at me and smiled at her complexion.

“You look beautiful when you blush, don’t hide it”

She chuckled nervously before squatting her hand on my shoulder.

“Since when did you become so cheesy?”

“Well I do love cheese so you know…”

I trailed off to admire Anna as she threw her head back in laughter and giggles; her right hand was clasped around her mouth to muffle her loud chuckles where as her left one was loosely tangled around my left arm.

What a ravishing sight

My hand slipped into her hers and I entwined our fingers together tightly.

“I love you Anna” I whispered to myself more than her but she heard my confession and turned to face me as we reached the door of my car.

“I love you too Niall”

A small smile spread across lips and her words helped ease the tension in my mind. I kissed her forehead slightly before opening the car door for her to sit in. Once she was safely buckled in I closed her door and rounded the silver car I possessed and got in the drivers sear, turning the ignition.
