Saving Niall

Chapter TwentyThree-Amazement and Embarrassment

"Aria, I love you with all my heart, and since it's our six month anniversary, I wanted to give you a little something." He grinned, sitting on his left thigh and pulling something out of his back right pocket. 

I smiled and studied him as he peeked in the red velvet box.

He huffed and handed it to me.

I bit my lip nervously and opened the jaw of the box, slowly. 

"Oh my! This is lovely." I breathed, holding my hand up to my mouth. 

"You like it? Not to much?" He stuttered, jolting his leg.

I smiled and nodded. It was perfect. 

What I was holding was a simple silver bracelet made of a one line of white diamonds. 

My breath was taken by the generosity of Niall. 

"Want some help, love?" He bit his lip. I looked up at him, dazzled and nodded. 

He unlatched the lined silver and strapped it around my delicate wrist. "It looks beautiful on you." He 

purred pecking my hand. 

After admiring my new jewelry and thanking Niall, he pulled a wooden basket from under his seat and onto the table.

He looked up at me and smirked.

I admired his hard work as he pulled warm and fresh bread with cheese and grapes out as an appetizer.

"This looks lovely." I awed as I began to cut the bread. The moist heat rose up to my nose, implanting a grin on each of our faces.

Once it was ready, Niall took a big hunk of the bread covered in cheese and grapes and shoved it in my mouth. I giggled and held my lips as I chewed.

"Aha, what are you doing?" I grinned, wiping my mouth.

He chuckled and took a sip of his wine.

"I wanted to feed you!" He blushed.

I gave him an evil expression and did the same to him. Shoving an even bigger piece into his mouth.

After wining and dining, Niall stood up and held his hands out for me.

He seemed a little tipsy, but that didn't matter, I was the driver and it takes a lot to get me drunk, thankfully. 

"Come one, babe, lets dance." He grinned. I smirked up into his dazzling eyes and took his hand, standing up.

"Ni, I can't dance that well." I confessed as he but his hand on my lower bum. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he smiled. 

"I'll teach you." He begged. 

I sighed and looked around, smiling. 

"Fine, but tell no one." 

He chuckled and lifted me onto his feet. "What are you doing?" I grinned. 

"This is how you teach a girl to dance." He explained.

"But aren't I going to crush you?" I asked. 

He gasped and shook his head in disbelief. 

"You could never crush me, even if you weighed ten million pounds." He joked, pulling me close.

Our faces were inches apart. I could smell the wine on his breath as he began to sway. 

"Hey Aria," Niall gasped. 

Okay, maybe he was a little drunk. 

"What is it Ni?" I grinned, hugging him as we danced. 

He sighed and looked around at the glowing woods.

"One day, I'm going to marry a girl named Aria." He expanded, sounding like a child.

I blushed and looked down at our feet. 

"Really?" I murmured, smiling and biting my thumb nail. 

"Really," he announced. 

After our wonderful date, we arrived home. "I had fun." I grinned at the less tipsy Niall. 

He looked up from our holding hands and smiled, kissing my cheek. "Me too," he slightly slurred.

Opening the door, we began to hear laughter and clinging. 

"What the?" I questioned, walking into the kitchen, Niall following behind. 

"I've got this." He explained, taking an umbrella off the hook. 

"Please, you're as scary as a baby penguin." I teased, setting it down. 

Sitting at the table, Harry, Zayn, Louis and Liam, drinking, well except Liam. 

"What are you guys doing here? I thought you were at your own homes." I gasped.

Harry tilted back in his chair and took a swig of his beer. 

"And why are you drinking?" I added. 

They all drunkenly laughed. 

"Well, you see. Tomorrow, we're recording and we needed somewhere to crash." Harry slurred, making his voice even slower. 

"Well, you're welcomed to stay here as long as you want. I'll go make up beds for you." I smiled, leaving the room once Niall kissed me and took a seat to reunite with his friends.

Once I fixed up the guest room, I made my way to the living room. As I pulled up the pull out bed, I heard the lads laugh. 

"So, Niall, how's you and Aria's sex life? She good?" Louis teased. 

I heard him sigh and go silent. 

"Wait, you two haven't done it yet?" Harry gasped. 

"She wants to wait." Niall murmured. 

"Or she just doesn't want the dick." Liam joked. 

There was a silence. 

"Guys, don't you think it's hard for her to get with a guy after her first experience?" He muttered, standing up and walking out of the kitchen.

I stopped listening and went back to the sheets. I was embarrassed for Niall, I felt guilty. 

"Hey, need any help?" He weakly smiled as I struggled. 

"Nah, I'm fine, you should go get some rest from all that wine, I'll bring in some medicine." I smiled. 

He walked over to me and gently kissed my lips, holding my jaw.

"You're the best." He grinned, rubbing my chin. 

No, I was the worst.
