The Principal 2

Chapter 23

*****So a boy just asked me out... I don't like him though, I'll c where it goes***
-June 11-
-Jessica-

Niall asked me to hang today, which I gladly obliged to. We haven't really had any alone time. I really wish we could be a normal couple, I just want to settle down with him in a small suburban home somewhere, and if we want to take our relationship to the next level, I'd be ready for it.

As much as I love Niall, I'm not sure if he belongs with me, I've hurt him so much. I'll never be able to fully forgive myself. He told me that he is so grateful I called him out of the blue that one day because he fell in love with an amazing girl which I'm flattered to hear.

I've exposed him to the horrors and cruelness of the world, things that no one should ever see. If he wants to stay it's up to him, who am I to judge. I showered, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Before I knew it there were a set of knocks on my door, I grabbed my purse and ran to the door. Niall stood there his hands in his pockets, once I opened the door he offered me his hand which I gladly took. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Is there anything specific you want to do today," he asks me, leading me to his car.

"Not really we can just hang out, if that's cool with you," I answer.

"As long as I'm with you I don't care," he answers placing his head in the crook of my neck.

"You're so cheesy," I giggle.

I mean I love spending time with Niall, it doesn't really matter what we are doing.

"I have a random question," he says.

"Shoot," I reply, thinking of what he could possibly ask me.

"What are your thoughts about marriage."

"I'd like to get married one day when the time is right," I answer.

"Do you feel like we could do that one day in the near future."

I'm taken aback by what he is saying, I'd love to marry Niall. I've dreamed of this and now that it might actually happen, I'm freaking out a little.

"Niall there's nothing more I'd love to do than marry you, but we are so young. We used to look up to Zayn and Perrie, but they're not together anymore, I'm just worried we are rushing things," I honestly reply. I remember how we used to say Zayn and Perrie are doing it so why can't we, but they didn't end on a good note, and I'd hate for that to happen to us.

"Well we've been dating for like 4 years, I'd like to tie the knot, sooner than later."

"Niall calling you was a mistake, I'm a mistake, are you sure you want to be stuck with me for the rest of your life?"

"There is nothing more I'd love to do than be stuck with you for the rest of my life."

"I mean if you want to stay, I guess it's your choice."

"Jessica you are not a mistake, you are a beautiful, funny, and loving human being," he says causing my cheeks to heat up.

"I wish I saw myself the way you do, but I screwed up your life so badly, I don't want to hurt you anymore."

"Stop trying to talk me out of what I want to do, yes I've been exposed to some pretty cruel stuff, but I don't blame any of it on you," he says softly.

"The thing is I blame myself for it, I never should've brought you into, or let you stay. I should've saved you," I tell him.

"I'm happy I stayed because I fell in love with such a lovely girl."

"Niall I love you so much, I just want to protect you with everything in me and you've been so patient with me," I honestly say.

"Jessica, I try so hard to keep you safe."

"I know you do and I appreciate it so much. Niall I'm just worried that's all."

"I am too, but we can be there for each other and everything will work out in the end, I promise."

It makes me feel better knowing that he is so confident about us, I really hope we can be a normal couple, "Niall I really hope you're right."

"I am I can just feel it, we are going to get married and start a family, and everything will work out," he says happily.

"That's really exciting to think about, but we are so young."

"It doesn't matter, I think we are ready."

"I think we are, too."

"So if I pulled out a ring right now would you say yes?"

"I would, but you better make an elaborate proposal," I say jokingly.

"Don't you worry Jessica Horan, it will blow your socks off," he answers firmly.

"It better," I say chuckling.

"It will I assure you, I might do it tomorrow, who knows."

I shake my head letting out a loud laugh, "I don't think you could plan this elaborate proposal in one day, "it might take some time."

"Don't underestimate the Niall Horan," he says cocking his head to the side.

"I would never," I say putting my hands up in defense. He tackled me to the ground covering my face in kisses, leaving us both breathless.

"Would you stop," I chuckle trying to push him off of me.

He lifts me up placing me in his lap so I'm sitting across his legs, I bury my face in the crook of his neck still laughing uncontrollably.

"You good?"

"Never been better," I say smiling at him.

"That's amazing, and I could say the same," he says returning the smile.

His face lights up when he smiles and it's such a beautiful sight. This beautiful human is mine and I couldn't be more lucky.

The sun eventually sets, "you can stay the night," I tell him, getting off of him only to have him grab my waist and drag me back down. Today flew by, but as they say time flies when you're having fun.

"Can you stop, I could've hurt myself," I say regaining my balance.

"I would never hurt you, Jessica, and you know that," Niall replies cocking his eyebrow.

"I have to go to the doctor tomorrow, so if you don't mind I'd like you to drive me," I tell him.

"When will you be able to stop going you've been fine for the past few years."

"They just want to be sure, I'd hate for something to happen that could've been prevented, but we can ask them tomorrow," I say a yawn escaping my lips.

Niall picks me up carrying me into my room and gently throwing me onto the bed.

"We wasted the whole day, good job," I giggle covering my face.

"Any day with me is not a waste," he says cockily.
