Flying in Love (a Niall Horan fan fic)

Chapter 54

Niall's POV

Lexi slept at my house with the boys, trying to stay as happy as possible. The boys didn't seem to notice that she was broken on the inside, but I saw right through her act. I wanted to say something to her about it but I don't have the guts. And now we're here laying down on my bed. Her head resting on my chest, her brown long hair all over her beautiful face. I push the strands of hair from her face and around her ear. Her eyes flutter open and she smiles.

"Good morning, Alexis"

"Good morning, Neil Horvan"

I can't help but smile at her. Pretending to about to kiss her, I inch closer to her staring at we lips. Then a t the last second, I poke her in the side making her flinch and start laughing loudly.

"Niallll....can't.....breATH!" she says in between breathes. Ignoring her, I keep poking her until she doesn't move or laugh anymore. Oh god, did she just. Is she? What the hell did I do!

Leaning in closer, I rest my hands on her shoulder and shake her back and forth. "Lexi! Lexi! Wake up!"

I feel we fingers poke my sides and she laughs once again.

"NOT FUNNY LEXI I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" I yell at her for the first time.

Her smile fades when she realizes I'm serious. "Geez, Niall I-I'm sorry." she rolls out of the bed walking out of the room and slamming the door behind her.

"Lexi! Stop!" I run after her.

"Go away!" she looks back at me, tears in her eyes before running downstairs.

I would move, if I could. What was I thinking? Yelling at a girl whose dad just died because I thought she was dead? I wonder if she's thinking about me or about her dad that I probably reminded her about when mentioning the word dead.

Lexi's POV

I really shouldn't be mad, but I am. Could Niall not take a joke? I mean seriously, my dad literally just died and he goes along saying the word dead like he doesn't expect me to be reminded?

"Good morning, Lexi" Zayn grins from ear to ear.

"Not really," I mumble.

"What's up?"

"Boys" I tell him flatly.

"Men," he 'coughs'.

"Men" I grumble.

"No kidding, us men can be very unpleasant to both visual and mental senses."

"Forget it!" I walk away flicking him off.

"Hey, I was kidding" Zayn runs in front of me.

"You guys always are, aren't you?"

"Look, Lexi. Guys can't be perfect. It's the reason we need girls like you to help us out. To make us feel like we mean something. You know, I may not know what happened between you and Niall, but I do know that he's crazy for you. Yes, sometimes he can be a pain in the ass sometimes but that's exactly the reason why he needs you."

We stand there in an awkward silence. I process each and every word he says over and over.

Face palming myself, I mumble "I fucked this all up, didn't I."

"I dunno!" he smiles and walks away.

Niall's POV

A knock hits my door right as I get out of the shower.

"One sec!"

I put on some basketball shorts and a sweatshirt before opening the door.

"Lex?"

"Niall, I'm sorry. I fucked up. I shouldn't of messed around with you. You probably thought I was really dead, and I would hate for you to feel bad for me in any way. I just want us to be okay again... Do you forgive me?" she looks straight into my eyes.

I don't say anything, I just kiss her. Not once in my life has a girl said sorry to me instead of the other way around. I love Lexi. She's different.

The both of us don't dare to break apart. We seriously only fought for like half an hour and we're kissing each other like we've been fighting for a year.

She finally breaks apart, smiling and breathing heavily. My phone starts vibrating and I answer it.

"Paul?"

"Hi, Niall."

"What's up?"

"Nothing, just reminding you that the tour is going to start soon so rehearsals are going to start next week in Dublin. I'll text you the address."

"Okay, we'll be there. Do you want me to tell the boys?"

"No, I will. Bye."

"Bye." I hang up.

Lexi smiles at me, not even asking who it was. She trusts me, I can see it in her eyes.

"What do ya wanna do tonight?" he asks.

"Hmm...wanna go to the club? Take your mind off things?"

"Sure!" Her eyes light up with excitement, "should I ask the boys if they wanna come with us?"

"I can... you get ready."

"Okay."

Lexi's POV

After making plans with Niall, I rush to my house to pick out my clothes. Brian's nowhere to be found. He probably went of with some friends or something.

After a while of searching for the perfect outfit, I decide on a tight light blue crop top with a black and white floral skaters skirt, along with lace stockings and silver sparkly stilettos. Then, I curl my long hair. For makeup, I make the most perfect smokey eye and the reddest lipstick I own.

When I get out of the bathroom, Niall sits on my bed.

"What the heck?!" I jump.

He flinches and chuckles. "Sorry babe." he puts his hands on my waist. The butterflies in my stomach go crazy from the contact. All I can do is smile and blush like a maniac.

"You," he kisses my forehead.

"Are," he kisses me again.

"Beau" repeat.

"Ti" again

"Ful" he gives me another kiss.

It's going to be a good night.
