Hailey's POV
" Morning sleepyhead, " I laugh softly as I sat on Niall's stomach and began to tickle him.
" Nooo, " he groaned. I giggled lightly. I leaned down and kissed him. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and flipped us so he was on top.
" Oh, no! " I laughed.
" Payback, baby, " he smiled before attacking me. He knew exactly where I was ticklish at.
" No... Stop.... Niall!! " I tried to get him to stop. " I HAVE TO PEE! " I yelled laughing. He instantly jumped up.
" Fine, " he said sadly. I laughed at his adorable sad eyes and gave him a quick kiss before going to the bathroom. When I came out, I couldn't find him.
" Niall? Baby? " I asked looking around the corner.
" In the kitchen! " he shouted. I walked in there to see him cooking. " You know what tomorrow is? " he asked quietly. I nodded.
" The funeral.. " I'd been dreading this. Loosing them was bad, but the boys always kept me occupied. Now, seeing them being buried would devastate me. I walked over to him and he wrapped his arms around me. My eyes began to tear up.
" They'd be so proud of you, princess. If I had a daughter and when I died, she handled it so strong and positively like you've done, I'd be so proud. You're amazing, beautiful, special to me, and thankfully still mine. I don't want you to take this wrong, but I'm glad you were in the airplane crash. Otherwise I wouldn't have met you.. " he spoke softy into my ear.
" You're the best person I know, " I said kissing his neck. He picked me up and sat me on the counter next to the stove. I watched him cook some kind of Chinese food. I laughed as he pulled out the soy sauce and spilt it all on his white t-shirt.
" You think this is funny? " he chuckled softly before walking over to me and kissing me. Of course, Niall couldn't just kiss me, he decided to hold me tight and pour the remaining soy sauce all over me.
" Niall! " I squealed!
" Mhmm? " he laughed.
" Well.. I say we go get breakfast at a restaurant. Anyways, Chinese for breakfast seems rather... Odd? " I laugh.
" He steps back and looks me in the eyes.
" True, " he pauses, " go take a shower in our bathroom, I'll go to the other. " He kisses me one more time before walking out. So I go take my shower, and as I walk out I see Niall in just a towel.
" Woah, " I say before turning my head away.
" Babe, don't worry, I have on boxers, " he chuckles.
" Oh, ok, " I say before taking my towel off. I had on my bra and underwear.
" Mmmm, " Niall sighs biting his lip. I laugh a little before putting on some shorts and a tank top. " Why must you be so dang sexy? " Niall says in a husky voice.
" Same goes for you, " I smile. We drive to a nearby iHop. Niall eats as many pancakes as he can, while I only eat two. " You're gonna be fat, " I laugh as Niall continues to stuff his face. Niall finishes up and we prepare to leave. As we walk out, paparazzi snap numerous photos. Niall takes me by my hand and we walk to the car.
" Wow, how do they get here so quick? " he mumbles.
" Niall... You ate for a hour, " I say before giggling hysterically. He looks at me and puts his hands on my face.
" Hailey? " he says seriously.
" Yeah? " I say after I finish laughing.
" Do you love me? "
" What makes you ask that? Of course I do. There's nothing I couldn't love about you, " I say before kissing him.
" Okay, " he smiles after pulling back. " We have a flight to catch, " he says as we pull off to head back to the condo. We go inside and pack our bags. We text the boys and tell them we're heading to the airport and that we'd meet them there.
" You ready to be in my home town? " I ask looking into his eyes.
" Yeah. I just wish I could have met your family, " he says with a hint of sadness in his voice.
" Me too, " I mutter as the boys arrive.
" When's the plane leave? " Louis asks as he sits down on the bench with us.
" I'm not sure, " I say, right before the intercom announces our flight is ready for take off. We all board the plane and head to Little Rock, Arkansas. It was strange to believe that last night I was prepared to leave by myself. I look at Niall and realize how lucky I was to have him. We sit down in first class. I sit in between Niall and Harry, while Louis, Zayn, and Liam sit in the row in front of us. Niall and I put in our earphones and listen to music. After about an hour he falls asleep. Harry and I were the only two awake, so we decided to talk.
" Hailey, what's this town your from like? " he asks sleepily.
" It's really tiny. Everyone knows everyone. It's actually nice, why? "
" Any hot girls? I mean, there should be, since you came from there, " he smiles.
" Shut up, " I laugh. Harry leans in to kiss me, that is, as soon as Niall wakes from his nap.
