A Pleasant Surprise - Niall Horan fanfic

Chapter 32

I just want to start off by, once again, apologizing to all of you. I've now had my surgery. (Both eyes) My surgeon told me that it was better if I spent some time away from computers and stayed indoors for a while. And also...One Direction are in Sweden and I'm not allowed to go to see them because I can easily get infections in my eyes. :( They're swollen, red and I have stitches in my eyes so that's why I haven't written any new chapters but I haven't forgotten about you guys and now I'm back! :) Hope you enjoy the rest of the fanfic. Much love to all of you! xx

Sophie's P.O.V

"Are you sure? I feel like I'm not spending any time with you at all." Niall stroked my cheek with a concerned look in his eyes.

"It's okay, you haven't been in Ireland for ages and everyone wants to see you." I smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

"I'll be back in an hour or two." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in for a tight hug. "I love you Soph." He whispered. His hot breath tickled my neck, sending chills down my spine.

"I love you too." I slipped my hands inside his white T-shirt, he shivered from the touch of my cold hands. "Sorry." I giggled.

"NIALL, ARE YA COMIN'?" A thick Irish accent yelled from the door. 

"JUST A SECOND!" Niall sighed and kissed my forehead before taking off. "See ya in a bit darling."

"Are you alright dear?" Maura looked at me with wide eyes. "You look a bit pale." She took my hand and watched me with a troubled look.

"I'm fine, I'm just recovering from some chicken Niall cooked back in London." It's been a week, why am I still sick?

"I have to teach that boy how to cook." Maura shook her head. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes, thank you. I'm just gonna drink some water and I'll be fine." I said with a smile.

"I have to leave for work in an hour, are you gonna be alright or should I stay here with you?"

"No, of course not. Besides, Niall is coming home soon anyway." I sat down on a chair nect to Maura. She's so sweet and caring. She actually reminds me a bit of my mum. She gave me this look, I can't describe it but it made me feel really special.

"Thank you for taking care of Niall. He's lucky to have you." She said with a warm smile.

"Actually he's the one who takes care of me and I'm lucky to have him." Maura laughed and shook her head.

"No Sophie, he talks about you all the time. I've never seen him this happy." She took my hands in hers. "I can't imagine him being with anyone else besides you. You two are perfect for each other." I squeezed her hands, trying to force back the tears. "And I'm so lucky to have met you, you are truly amazing." She bit her lip as her eyes started watering.

"You're gonna make me cry Maura, you know how much you mean to me." From there we lost it, suddenly we were standing there hugging and crying. We stood there for a good 15 minutes. "Thank you for accepting me and taking me in in your family like you have. I feel like I'm a part of the family now." I finally said after we'd calmed down a bit.

"Get married already!" Maura laughed.

"If it was up to Niall we'd be getting married tonight." I giggled. Maura sighed as her face lit up in a bright smile.
