Forever Love-Niall Horan

Chapter 4.

I woke up next morning on Niall's firm chest. I looked up to see him still sleeping. I looked out the window. My parents were both gone to work so it was just me, Paige and the guys. I smelled something coming from the kitchen. I got off Niall and walked to the kitchen to find Liam, Harry and Paige trying to make pancakes. They had everything mixed into a big bowl and were pouring it little by little onto a pan.

"You gotta flip those ya know" I cautioned.

"Yes I'm supervising them don't worry" Liam said patting my back. I rubbed my eyes sleepily.

"So..." Paige looked at me as if I were forgetting to tell her something.

"What?" I asked raising my eye brow.

"How was your night with Niall?" she asked nudging me. Liam and Harry looked at me questionably. I just smiled and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Nothing happened. We're NOT together!" I said looking down. I wish we were together.

"Sure sure..." Paige said before returning to help Harry pour and flip pancakes. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. I thought they were being oddly comfortable with each other. I knew they were not officially dating, yet, but they were about as close as you cant get without calling it dating.

I just smiled and got out some orange juice from the fridge. I set out some plates on the table.

"Seven of us right?" I asked

"Yes, seven." Liam answered. After the pancakes were done we spread everything across the table and went to wake up Zayn, Louis, and Niall. They came to the table and started eating everything.

"So, what's on for today?" Louis asked.

"Well me and Paige were going to go catch a film later and maybe go shopping." Harry said.

"You trying to take my mate Paige?" Louis asked pretend looking offended. We all laughed. Paige just blushed.

"Louis, you, me and Liam are going to go downtown and go shopping and maybe do a few signings" Zayn explained.

"And Ivy and I are gonna do our own thing too." Niall said. I saw Louis wink at him. I tried to ignore it but I could feel my cheeks heat up. I hoped no one noticed. I was wrong.

"Aww, little Ivy's getting red!" Louis called out just making me turn even more red. We all finished breakfast and cleaned up. I went to my room to get dressed. I wasn't sure what I should wear. Niall wouldn't tell me anything about where we were going. I just threw on some jean shorts and a lime green tank top with a sweater over it. I straightened my hair and put on some make up before heading back downstairs to see everyone.

When I got downstairs, everyone was dressed and ready to go wherever they were all going. I walked over to Niall.

"Ready to go?" he said holding out his elbow waiting for me to lock my arm with his.

"Yup! Lets go!" I said as I grabbed my house keys and headed out the door. We got into the car and Niall whispered to the driver where we were going. I had no idea where we were going. As we went down the road, my phone rang. It was Louis texting me.

*Heads up, Niall likes you! -Louis* I blushed and was pretty sure my mouth was hanging open because Niall asked me what was wrong. I said nothing and texted him back.
*What makes you think that? -ivy* I eagerly waited for his reply.

"Can you tell me where we are going now?" I asked.

"Will you just wait? You've always been so impatient!" he said. I pouted and looked back at my phone. Message from Louis. *He's only said it a million times! You're all he ever talks about! -Louis* Aww. He's so sweet. I replied. *Really? That's sweet! And relieving!* Niall turned on the radio and started singing to Somebody That I Used To Know. I laughed at him, shook my head and looked at my phone again. *Relief? You like him too? Not that it wasn't obvious! -Louis* Obvious? Did that mean Niall knew too? Lots of thoughts ran through my head. Why did Louis say heads up? Was he going to tell me? Was that where we were going now? I replied. *I might. Idk. but why did you say heads up? -Ivy* i was slightly confused. He replied quickly. * You will see love...just wait. And good luck love birds! -Louis* uh oh! This was going to happen wasn't it? How am I supposed to react? Am I supposed to just say I feel the same way? Should I tell him ive always felt this way? I don't know what to do! I was panicking. Niall could tell because he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey its okay we are almost there!" he said. I looked back at my phone. It was 12 o'clock. I just stared at my phone trying to pass the time. Finally, we pulled into a parking lot. I hadn't recognized this place.

"Here we are!" Niall said. He got out of the car, paid the driver, and came around to open mine. I wasn't waiting for him to, I was just collecting my thoughts.

"Thanks." I said as I tucked my hair behind my ear and took his hand. He led me down to a shallow water area. Then it hit me. This was the same place he took me to tell me when he was going on the X-Factor. It had changed so much since the last time I was here. It had been 2 years. I refused to come here without him while he was gone. And last time he visited, we did other things together, so we didn't come here. We went and sat on a bench. The sun bounced off the water just right. I looked over at Niall. He was staring at the water. His blue eyes were shining in the sun and they looked perfect.

"So what are we doing here?" I asked

"Can't we just hang out here?" he said

"Well last time we were here you told me you were leaving. And that was a surprise too so what's up this time? You only keep things a secret when something's up! So spill Horan!" he smiled and looked down for a minute.

"I have to tell you something." He said looking down at his hands in his lap. My thoughts raced as I anticipated what he would say next.
