The After Show {Niall Horan}

Chapter 17~

I start getting ready to go to my parents' with Niall. I lightly curl my hair and fix my make up from mine and Niall's intimate moment from earlier..which was amazing.

I go to my dresser and get my clothes out. I decide to wear some light wash jeans with a light gray cardigan and a white v neck underneath. Niall is putting his shoes on and he's wearing dark wash jeans with a light blue button up shirt, hugging his body perfectly. Holy crap. I put my heels on and wait for him by the door.

"Look at you. Looking better than ever." He says putting his hands on my hips.

"Thank you handsome." I say looking in his eyes. He pecks me on the lips and grabs my car keys. He slaps my butt on our way out and I laugh a little.

Once we get in the car, we turn on some country music and sing along. Car rides are so fun with him.

The drive was about 45 minutes and traffic was a little heavy but we finally arrived. 

"Please don't be nervous. You'll be fine." I assure him.

We climb out of the car and we go up the driveway to the door holding hands. I wonder how my parents will react.

I ring the doorbell even though I don't have to. My mom opens the door and sees us holding hands.

"Oh my goodness! You guys are here! Holding hands!" She hugs us both. "Hey Mrs. Link." Niall says smiling. 

"Please call me Anna! Come in come in!"

We go inside and see my dad in the living room.

"Hey dad!" I say and he gets up and hugs me and introduces himself to Niall.

Once my brother's girlfriend arrives, Niall and my dad go to the kitchen to make sure she doesn't see Niall. All hell would break loose probably.

I open the door, "Hey my name is Nicole. I'm Christian's sister." I say smiling. "Hi I'm Angelica." She has an awkward smile. And of course my brother had to go to the bathroom.

"So how are you and Christian doing?" I ask trying to start a conversation. "We're perfectly fine." Her eyes trail me up and down with a dirty look. What the hell.

"Well okay. No need to respond in a bitchy manner." I say. I don't mess around with people who give me shit. My brother finally comes down. "Have fun guys." I tell them and they leave. I slam the door behind them.

"BITCH" I yell out. My parents and Niall look at me.

"What happened?" Niall asks with my dad. "His girlfriend is a bitch." I tell them what happened. "She's just jealous." Niall whispers into my ear and my heart softens.

"Guys go sit in the dining room! Dinner is ready!" My mom yells from the kitchen. We all go sit down.

Niall and my dad continue their conversation from earlier about beer. Why am I not surprised ?

My mom brings the food and we all start eating.

We're having a great time, having conversations and my dad is very accepting of Niall. They ask him questions and they get to know each other more.

All of a sudden I feel a hand on my thigh. I look at Niall and he's smiling at me. I'm glad they're all getting along. "So Nicole, how's school and work going?" My dad asks.

"Great. I'm really enjoying it. I'll be off of school soon for winter break so I'm definitely looking forward to that and it'll make it easier for me to work."

"What about you Niall? How's traveling ?" My dad asks.

I can feel Niall tense up. He's nervous. "It's really great. I obviously enjoy it very much. I have a tour coming up in 2018 but I was thinking about slowing down a bit after it since there's a way better opportunity for me coming up." He squeezes my thigh a bit, signaling that he's talking about me. I feel myself blush and everyone smiles at me.

The rest of the night went a lot better than I expected. They all got along and there wasn't a time we weren't smiling and laughing. I can tell he felt comfortable and they made it seem like it's his second home which definitely made him feel a lot better. Right now we're driving home, Niall is passed out in the passenger seat, lightly snoring. It's 1 in the morning and all I wanna do is get home and cuddle with him in bed.
