I felt two large arms wrapped around me. I smile as I roll over to face Niall. He was still asleep so I poked his cheek. He grunted and I poked him again.
"Alex," he groaned, taking my hand and lacing it with his. I gave his hand a squeeze before poking him with my other hand. He opened one eye and tried to hide a smile. He grabbed both my hands now and held them behind my back. I kissed his cheek and he glared at me.
"Good morning," I say, smiling.
"You're lucky I love you," he says. I was about to tell him I love him too but he started tickling me. I screamed out in laughter as he tickled my stomach.
"Okay, okay! You win, stop it!" I say and he stops tickling me but starts cracking up.
"That was not funny," I say, sitting up, crossing my arms and pouting. Niall sits up next to me and wraps his arms around me once again. He kisses my forehead. I jump out of the bed.
"Hey!" Niall exclaims as I grab my phone.
"What?" I ask.
"I wanted to cuddle," he says in his baby voice. I can't help but laugh a little and I sit next to him on the bed again. He pulls me close to him so I'm practically on his lap and I rest my head on his shoulder as he grabs the tv remote. He flips through the channels and I recognize Good Morning America.
"There!" I exclaim and Niall leaves it.
"Why the hell do you have this channel in Ireland?" Niall asks.
"Because it's awesome, duh," I say, poking his chest. He laughs and squeezes me a little.
"I love you."
"Sh, I'm watching this."
"I love you."
"She got a haircut."
"I love you."
"You're annoying."
"I love you."
"Shut up."
"Will you marry me?"
"I-what?" Did he just say what I think he said? Niall blushes a little and reaches over to the drawer next to us. He pulls it open and grabs a little black box from the back.
"Niall..." I say, but I couldn't think of what to say.
"I uh, wasn't gonna do this for about three more years or like at least a nice dinner or something like that but I've been a nervous wreck about it. Like what if you said no and stuff and- and...I don't know why I'm telling you this but um, okay just c'mere," he says, standing up and pulling me with him. I stand by the window as he gets down on one knee.
"Alexandra Olivia James, I love you. I love you more than you could ever imagine. I know I screwed up when I left you all those years ago. I know I've screwed up in this relationship as well. But I also know that I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. This um, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I guess my words came out and right here works, I-I guess. So uh, Alex, w-will you, uh-" he stutters with nervousness.
"Yes, Niall, yes, I'll marry you," I say and Niall smiles widely.
"Now kiss me already," I whine and he stands up, crashing his lips on mine. He holds me tightly as he spins me around real quick.
"You should probably put this on," Niall says, holding the ring. I smile and nod, extending my hand as he slips it on my finger. He kisses me again and then presses his forehead against mine.
"I love you."
"You're annoying," I reply.
"I love you."
