Someday {Niall Horan}

Chapter 12: Forgive and Forget

Emily's POV

I awoke to the sound of boiling water. What the hell, where am I? The last memory I had was panicking in my dressing room when Niall walked in... Fuck. I'm in his apartment, aren't I? I look around the room to confirm my thoughts. Sure enough I'm sitting in the same spot I was a couple of days ago when I slept with him. I don't want to be here, I haven't even forgiven him yet. Then again, what is there to forgive? My mind is going in circles and I don't know what's going on. Why did he bring me here?

I stand up to see that I'm still in yesterday's clothes. I grab my bag next to the bed and try to leave without being noticed, probably impossible. As I quietly walk down the stairs, I see him. He's standing in the kitchen making eggs, still in his pajamas. All of the sudden I stop walking and I remember what he said. I'm so sorry, Emily. I ruined you, a beautiful woman and turned you into an empty shell, he said. I can't help but feel bad that he feels like he ruined me. As much as I hate to admit it, as I stand here watching Niall cook, he looks hot. I look at him again, but this time he sees me and looks back.

"Emily," he says.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to talk to him. My first instinct is to run, so I do, towards the elevator.

"No, wait!" he calls. When the door opens I run inside, but he uses his hand to keep the door open and pick me up. He holds me on his shoulder and I can't get out of his grasp.

"Let me go!" I yell.

"Nope, not until we talk," he says calmly. He walks toward the balcony and let's me go onto a chair. I can't do anything about it and I should honestly listen to him after last night.

"Why did you take me here?" I ask.

"Because you fell asleep in the office yesterday and I didn't want to wake you up." He says.

"So what? You just take me home with you?" Seriously, couldn't he bring me to my house?

"That's not what this is about." he says "I want to talk to you about what happened last week."

"What about it?"

"Look, I know that you were upset, and embarrassed about what happened, but I just couldn't do that to you."

"Do what?"

"I couldn't let us go to the next level like the night before. We aren't together. I feel really bad about the entire event, maybe I should've let you do that," Suddenly I'm happier.

"Really?" I ask. "I should be sorry that I'm acting like this, acting like a whore. I don't know why I tried to seduce you." He laughs, a beautiful laugh. "Why are you laughing?"

"Just the way you say that you were trying to seduce me. It's funny." I don't know why, but I find myself laughing as well. Suddenly, the boy who I couldn't stand 20 minutes ago, has intrigued me once again. Hey, forgive and forget. Right?

"Do I have to go to work today?" I ask.

"No, I'm not. You don't have to." he says. "Honestly Emily, as much as I try to hide it, I think I have feelings for you," All of the sudden, my day just got much brighter.

Niall's POV

"Honestly Emily, as much as I try to hide it, I think I have feelings for you."

It's true. I wish it wasn't, but it is. There's something special about the girl sitting in front of me. I've noticed it since the first day she worked for me, modeling in a bikini. Fuck that image just makes me-

"Is that so?" she asks, disrupting my thoughts. I nod. Saying anything would just make things awkward. The things that this girl does is amazing, she's perfect in every way. I can't say that I love her. I don't even know what love is, I've never felt it before.

I walk into my apartment not saying a thing before leaving and prepare a small breakfast for us. Eggs, toast, and orange juice, yum. I quickly set the two plates and cups on a tray before taking it to her. I feel all giddy inside, I think it had something to do with telling her about my feelings. It felt good. I set the tray in front of us and hand her plate to her.

"Thank you," she says.

"No problem," I say.

We don't say anything for the next five minutes. Whenever we eat we just have an awkward silence and it's very irritating. I want to talk to her, but I don't know what to say. Fuck it, today I'm breaking this awkward silence.

"What do you want to do today?" I ask. If she doesn't want to spend it with me I'll be embarrassed, but I'll make sure she does.

"I don't know. You?"

"How about we go on that NYC adventure we were supposed to go on the other day?"

"Okay, are we taking a car?" she asks. Nope, I don't exactly feel like getting in a car crash again.

"How about we just walk?"

"Sounds good to me." she agrees. Nothing can go wrong on this day, nothing.
