My heart beats at the thought of what he's about to say.
"I was just wondering if you'd be okay with me coming back after Christmas?" I just felt a boulder fall off my my heart. I thought he wanted to continue talking about our conversation from earlier. "Of course, you don't even have to ask. I was hoping you'd come back." I respond blushing. He has a smile on his face and it warms my heart. "By the way, we seem to be getting a lot closer." He looks down and blushes. "Yeah we are." I confirm. I can't lose him. Ever. My heart beats so fast every time I look at him. He smiles and leans into me and places his lips on mine. He pulls away and whispers into my ear, "I told you we'd continue this later tonight." I feel my body heat up. But this time, he lifts my tank top up and over my head, exposing me to my bare chest. His hands grab my breasts and starts massaging them while kissing me. We continue with him on top of me, our warm and bare bodies against each other, and his hands traveling and exploring my body.
The next morning
I wake up the next morning. It's only Wednesday. But I can't stop thinking about last night. It didn't go any farther than the kissing and us being half naked but it really was amazing. I look next to me and Niall is asleep shirtless and only in his boxers. His hair messy and slightly snoring. The perfect view to wake up to. The fact that we still sleep together and we're not even together, yet I hope, would bother my parents. But first of all, we're adults and second of all it doesn't feel wrong. It feels so right having him next to me and feel his body against me.
I check the time and it's only 9:30. I check my email to see if my boss sent any photos to edit and there were only a few. He did warn me there'll be a lot more in 2 weeks since it'll be right before Christmas. Niall will be gone by then so I can go work in the office.
I get to work right away so I can finish before Niall wakes up. As I'm working on my last picture, Niall wakes up. "Good morning beautiful." He says as he's stretching which is absolutely adorable. "Good morning." I say back smiling. "You working?" He asks looking over. "I am. But I'm on the last picture."
"Good, I wanted to do something today." He chimes. "Oh really?" I shut my laptop off once I finish editing. "Yeah, maybe like go out for breakfast?" I smile and agree. I get up and go take a quick shower and Niall takes one after me. I put my hair up and put on some yoga pants with my north face. I slide my Nike shoes on and wait for Niall. He comes out in his jacket and some joggers. I grab my keys and we head out the door. "How'd you sleep?" I ask smiling. "Pretty amazing after an amazing night." He kisses my cheek and wraps his arm around me. We walk into a small cafe and order some coffee and cinnamon rolls. We sit down and devour them. "We're still going to your parents' this weekend right?" He asks. "Yes we are. Are you nervous?"
"Yeah a little." He shrugs. "You have no reason to be. My mom already loves you and my dad will too." I assure him. He really doesn't have anything to worry about.
We finish eating and we walk back to the apartment. It's already 1 since we spent a while in there and we take our time walking back.
"Where are you going for Christmas?" I ask.
"Well I'm stopping by my house in LA but I'll be heading back to Ireland for the holidays? What are you doing?"
"I'm going to my parents' house and spend the night from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day."
"Oh that's nice. Maybe next year I'll take you to Ireland?" He smiles. My eyes widen. Is he really thinking about the future? But our future. My heart skips a beat. "That would be very nice." I smile and blush. He pulls me into him and kisses my cheek. We hold hands as we walk back home.
