Niall Horan Imagines

Italy (Request)

I stepped off the plane in Lampedusa, Italy, feeling the sun breathe me in as I did the same. The beach was only a few minutes from our hotel, and we were going there for lunch. We could see the ocean from the airport. 

"It's so beautiful here," Niall commented when we checked in at the hotel. I smiled warmly, feeling so at home; I was Italian. 

"I can't wait to see everything," I told him. I changed into my bathing suit, put my clothes back on over it, and we headed to the beach for lunch. 

I looked out over the ocean and sighed in awe. It was so beautiful there. We set out a blanket, and most of the beach was empty. 

"It's almost been a year and a half since we met," Niall said. I smiled up at him. 

"When?" I wondered, remembering when I ran into him and my whole life changed. 

"Three days," he beamed at me, taking a bite of his sandwich. 

We finished eating, and I took my clothes off so I could wade into the water. It wasn't too cold, but I shuddered a few times, looking back to Niall.

"Are you coming?" I called to him, looking at how comfortable he seemed watching me. He nodded from far away. 

"I'll be there in a minute," he said, standing up. I turned back around, facing the open Mediterranean Sea and giving it a smile. I let my legs fall out from beneath me, squeezing my eyes shut as I went under completely. I loved the ocean so much. 

When I came back up, Niall was beside me. He wrapped an arm around my waist, leaving a trail of fire where his skin made contact with mine. 

Suddenly, he cursed under his breath.

"What?" I wondered, feeling his arm leave me. 

"My bracelet fell off just now," he said, looking towards the water than was lapping at my upper thighs. 

"Oh," I breathed, peering into the clear water. "I think I see it," I said, diving into the water. I opened my eyes to see, even though the water was burning my eyes. I grabbed his bracelet, popping back up and trying to expel the water from my eyes. 

"Here," I said, shoving his bracelet towards him, still rubbing the water out of my eyes. 

"Thank you," he said like it was the most important thing in the world. I managed to get my eyes open, the sunlight reflecting off the water blinding me for a moment. 

Niall was down on one knee, holding a ring towards me. My gasp was barely audible, and I covered my eyes, hoping that I was just dreaming. I tried to wipe the smile off my face.

This is not happening. 

"Victoria. You're so beautiful. I've known you for a year and a half, in three days, and I love you with all of my heart," he said to me. I felt my heart burst at his words. 

"Yes. A million times yes, in every language, in every time-period," I rambled, watching him stand up and give me a giant smile. "Yes." 

He wrapped me in his arms, laughing a heart laugh, so much that I felt it against my chest.

I felt the start of the beginning of the rest of my life.
