The next couple of weeks flew by. I had been keeping myself busy with the TV Show. Niall flew to Ireland to be with his family for a couple of days. I could tell that he really missed him. I told him to leave. He wanted me to go with him but I couldn’t take that time off work. He was returning home in a couple of hours. I was really excited to see him. We had finally finished taping the first season. It would premiere in a couple of days. I finally had some time off. Niall had asked me to move in with him before he had left. I had to decline because I had had no time to pick up all my belongings and move. Now I did though. I called a moving truck. Tori, Miriam and Chace helped move all of my stuff into Niall’s apartment. I was officially moved in. I took out my phone and tweeted him. “I have a surprise for you. I miss you. Get home.” Within seconds he replied, “I can’t wait to see you. You don’t understand how much I’ve missed you baby x” That comment made me smile from ear to ear. I was now alone in his huge apartment, with for once, nothing to do. I opened the TV to see if anything good was on, nothing was. I cleaned the house a little bit to keep my mind off the fact that Niall would be home soon. I felt like a housewife waiting for her husband who was coming home after a war. I paced anxiously in our living looking up every minute at the clock. This was hopeless. The time wasn’t going anywhere. I then decided to take out one of my exercise videos and burn a little sweat. This lastest for about five minutes. After being so focused on work, I had stopped working out. I really needed to get back in shape. I pushed myself to do another 10 minutes. I was totally out of breathe and headed to take a shower. While I was in the shower, Niall had called me. Dressed up in my towel I checked my voicemail. He had left me a message saying, “Hey babe, I’m catching an earlier flight. I’ll be home around 1pm your time. You better be waiting for me with Nandos at the airport.” I laughed out loud at looked at the time. It was 11:30. I figured I should quickly blow dry my hair and head to Nandos, pick up some chicken and bring it to the airport. I knew it wasn’t going to take me an hour and a half to do this, so I figured I could squeeze a little Starbucks in the mix as well.
As I looked up at the arrivals board. I waited for flight IRE-1022 to change to “ARRIVED” I stood there patiently with Nandos in my hands and a big smile on my face. I couldn’t wait to see his beautiful smile and jump in his arms. As per usual, there were fans waiting for him to arrive as well. Regardless if One Direction was still together or not, their fans were as dedicated to them as they were when they were a group. A group of them spotted me and headed over to say hi. They were all very nice and very calm. I took a couple of pictures with some fans. One asked me if Niall and I were going to get married. I laughed at the question because we had just gotten back together. We hadn’t even been back together for three weeks. It was way too early to tell if this would last forever. I secretly wished it did, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. All of my life, I’ve lived with my guard up. Maybe it was to protect me from others. I figured that if I didn’t care as much, I wouldn’t get as hurt. One of the fans had brought a guitar and started strumming to Niall’s song “Someday.” It almost brought me to tears because deep down I knew that he had written it for me. And even when I told him there was no hope in us getting back together, he still fought for it. That’s the kind of guy he was. He was that guy who would never give up on something that meant something to him. I joined the fans and sang Someday with them. As I sang the chorus, I saw the white doors open and saw his smiling face on the other side. He was looking around, I assumed for me. He was looking in the wrong direction. You would think the crowd of singing fans would have given it away. I waved my arms in the air, but he couldn’t see me. This was one of the problems I had with being short. I finally found a clear path and ran at him. He turned around just as I got to him and I caught him off guard. He probably thought I was a fan and let out a little yelp. The second he saw it was me he put his arms around me and squeezed me tight. “Oh my god, you’re here. I missed you so much.” He said as he pulled me in for another hug.
“Look what I brought you.” I said waving the brown paper bag of Nandos.
His eyes light up and grabbed the bag. He opened up to smell the chicken. He looked so happy. He gave me a kiss on the cheek. “I better go say hi to some of my fans over there eh?”
“Yes, you should. They’ve been camped out all day.” I assured him. He nodded, “Okay, I’ll be right back.”
He walked over to the flashing lights of the fans cameras and took pictures with them. I walked over to take the camera from some fans so they could be in the picture too. “Okay. Everyone say cheese!” I said as I took the picture.
“Thanks for coming out guys. You guys are the greatest fans in the world, but if you don’t mind. Amanda brought me Nandos and I’m starving.” They all laughed with him. He put his arm around me as we walked outside to my car. He got in the car and opened up the brown bag. He ate the chicken, he seemed so satisfied.
“So where do you wanna chill out, your place?” He asked.
“Nah, let’s go to yours.” I replied.
“Sounds good to me.” Niall replied, “Whats my surprise by the way?”
“Well if I told you, now it wouldn’t be a surprise would it?”
“Guess not.” He replied.
We arrived at his apartment. I locked the door behind me. I opened the apartment door and screamed out “Surprise!”
He was shocked at what I had done with the place.
“So what do you say roomie?” I asked.
“I can’t believe you did this.” He replied, “I can’t possibly express how happy I am right now. “ He picked me up and twirled me around.
“Since you surprised me, I kinda have my own surprise for you too.”
“Oh, what is it what is it?” I asked.
He reached in his bag and took out an envelope. I got really excited to open it up. I took a look at what he had done and a tear rolled down my cheek. “This is too much.” I told him.
“Hey, if I’m not going to spoil you, who will?” He asked. He put his arm around me.
“We leave after the airing of your first episode. This is just showing you how proud of you I am and how much you deserve a little vacation.”
Niall had just brought me a plane ticket to Montreal to visit my parents and from Montreal we would take a week off, just the two of us at an exclusive resort in Mexico. God, I loved this man.
