Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

59++The Sooner, The Better

Alyson's POV

The morning sun streamed in through my window, waking me up. I sat up and stretched my arms before getting out of bed. I brushed my teeth and applied deodorant. I didn't feel like brushing through the birds nest that is my hair, so I threw it up in a ponytail. I was going to go talk to Niall.

The sooner, the better.

I opened my door, or tried to at least, and it banged into something. I heard a familiar groan and then I saw a pair of feet. Niall had camped outside my bedroom door last night.

"Niall?" I rushed to his side. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were--"

"I'm fine." he stopped me and sat up. "I was just--"

I stopped him this time with a kiss. A long, passionate kiss, might I add. After all this time together, his warm, soft touch still leaves me tingling with goosebumps. His hand cupped my cheek and I threw my arm around his neck, forcefully pulling him closer.

"I love you, Niall. I wish I had never doubted you, okay? I love you and nothing will ever change that. No matter how I'm feeling, I will never push you away ever again. That's a promise." I quickly said, meaning every word. 

I could tell that Niall was moved by my words. He probably thought I had lost all hope in him from reading my Days of Hell journal.

Niall took my hands in his and swayed them back and forth, looking deeply into my brown eyes. "If I have to tell you I love you every second of the day to make you never doubt me again, I'll do it."

We both laughed and I leaned in for another kiss, closing the gap inbetween us. Only seconds later, Niall backed away from me. "I'd love to continue this, but I need to brush my teeth."

I laughed loudly. "Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, but go brush your teeth."

"Is it really that bad?" he covered his mouth.

I shook my head. "Not really, but I like tasting mint."

"Figured. Considering you brush your teeth a trillion times a day and apply that minty chapstick of yours all the time."

If I had something to throw at him, I'd throw it. "You love it, Niall! Admit it!"

He leaned in close and looked into my eyes again. "Not half as much as I love you." Niall pecked my lips once more before running to his bathroom to go brush his teeth.

Charlie's POV

Louis came into my room and pounced on my bed. He bounced me so high, I fell off the side of the bed. He apologized a million times before helping me back up and kissing me all over my face.

"We need to talk about something." he started.

"About what?"

"My mum is getting married next week and I wanted to know if you would like to be my date." Louis sweetly asked.

"Duh," I pecked his lips. "Is everyone else going?"

"Yup!" he popped the 'p'. "Even Liam has a date."

This was news to me. "Who is she?"

"Her name is Sophia Smith. I met her a few times. She's lovely and is great for Liam." he explained.

"That's amazing! How did they meet?" I wondered.

He shrugged. "I'm not really sure. I think Liam said they're old friends."

"Aw, that's cute! But back to the wedding, what am I going to wear?!" I dashed to my closet and swiftly opened it. "I have absolutely nothing wedding-worthy."
