This Love 2

chapter 25

Niall's P.O.V

"Cleo, I can't understand a single word you're saying. Raise your head up, I can barely hear your voice. I put my finger underneath her chin and lift her head up, so that I can hear her.

"I get my period tomorrow..I need tampons." She says and hides her embarrassed face in my shirt.

"Gross." I chuckle, bringing my attention back to the movie as she giggles. I've only bought her feminine products one other time and that was a long time ago, it'll be embarrassing if I go in there and not know what to get, she told me that there's like different sizes and shit like that.

Once the movie is over Cleo heads upstairs to lay down while I rummage through the refrigerator to find the box of cantaloupes. I don't really feel like making food, so I grab the fruits and go up to the bedroom. Maybe Cleo will want a few. I get in the bed and turn the lamp on to see her sound asleep, I knew she was sleepy.

"Turn the light off." She says groggily.

"I will, baby. Hold on." I lightly laugh whenever she puts the sheets over her head.

"Wait, what are you eating? I want a bite." She tries to sit up, but I put my hand on her shoulder so she'll stop moving. She hums in satisfaction and I end up giving her the rest of my fruits because she kept asking for them. I turn out the light and lay down facing Cleo who won't be still in her sleep, her head keeps bumping mine, so I flip the other way. In the middle of the night she keeps whining, so I turn around again and wake her up but she's already awake.

"What's wrong?" I rasp.

"My stomach is cramping." She sniffles. I scoot behind her and put my hand underneath her shirt, massaging her stomach. The sniffs stop immediately and go back to slow and steady breaths.

The sun streaks through the blinds and I get up before Cleo awakens to go pick up her feminine products that she asked me to buy last night. I brush my teeth, wash my face and slip on a jumper with my sweatpants, then leave the house. I walk through the isles with my moccasin shoes and pick up what I assume she needs, while the women is scanning my items I'm rubbing my eyes and yawning.

"And who might these be for, if ya don't mind me askin'?" She laughs. I'm sure she's talking about these boxes of different kinds of feminine products rather than the boxes of candy that I'm buying as well.

"My girlfriend," I scratch the stuble along my jawline and yawn. I'm fucking tired, it's six in the morning, it's humid outside, it's foggy, it's supposed to storm today, birds keep shitting on my car..I'm just annoyed and need to get back in the bed.

After I leave the store it's thundering a little, so it makes me want to go home even more because I like sleeping during the rain, it's so relaxing and calm. The clouds are dark grey as I unlock the door and go upstairs.

"I'm in here!" I hear a voice coming from the bathroom. I close and lock the bedroom door, then dump out the plastic bag so I can get the five boxes that I bought. They all had different colors on the box, so I grabbed one of each. I knock on the door and she tells me to come in, but I tell her no at least three times.

"Niall! I'm not doing anything, come in!" Cleo repeats and I open the door. She's just going sitting on the small chair, leaning against the wall half asleep.

"Why did you get so ma- I don't even use pads?" I walk over to her and help her out of the chair. 

"I bought some of those tampy things too. I'm going back t- sleep." I pull my jumper over my head and take my sweatpants off.
